This is to inform the community, especially graduate students nearing the
end of their degrees, about "The Life of Words", a 5-year DH project
currently up and running at the University of Waterloo (Waterloo,
Ontario), which uses large text datasets to investigate interchanges
between lexicography and literature, especially between the Oxford
English Dictionary (OED) and English poetry. The initial focus is split
between building up an enhanced OED to investigate the generic
composition of evidence quotations, and developing approaches for using
large poetry corpora alongside the dictionary.
In the final two years of the project, there will be a funded
postdoctoral position, with applications to be considered in 2017.
Meanwhile if anyone who might be in a position to bring their own
postdoc funding (e.g. SSHRC or other) has an interest in joining the
project, I'd be very happy to support their application to the funding
agency. More information on the project can be found here:
