Its chapters detail theoretical advances in analysing variation\/change in the Celtic languages and computational tools necessary to process\/analyse the data. Many contributions situate the Celtic material in the broader field of corpus-based diachronic linguistics. The application of computational methods to Celtic languages is in its infancy and this book is a first in medieval Celtic Studies, which has mainly concentrated on philological endeavours such as editorial and literary work. The Celtic languages represent a new frontier in the development of NLP tools because they pose special challenges, like complicated inflectional morphology with non-straightforward mappings between lemmata and attested forms, irregular orthography, and consonant mutations. With so much data available in non-electronic form and ongoing efforts to convert these data to computer-readable format, there is much room for the developing\/testing of new tools. This books provides an overview of this process at a crucial time in the development of the field and aims to the data accessible to computational linguists with an interest in diachronic change. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46453749612695,"sku":"9783110680669","price":13500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783110680669.webp?v=1769146028","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/morphosyntactic-variation-in-medieval-celtic-languages-corpus-based-approaches-9783110680669","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
