Oxford is pleased to announce the inaugural volume of a new annual reference guide to the use of computers in the humanities. Humanities computing applications have become central to editing, learning, and translating languages, historical and linguistic simulation, writing instruction and testing, and the analysis of argument, style, vocabulary, and semantic content. This wide-ranging work provides a taxonomy of the field and an annotated survey of publications, research centers, text archives and termbanks, electronic communications, software, and hardware relevant to the humanities. It also includes special larger entries for important software that offer up-to-date information, and practical help in applying that information to research projects and instruction in colleges and universities. The most comprehensive guide available to this new and exciting field, The Humanities Computing Yearbook will prove invaluable to a wide range of students, teachers, and researchers in humanities and social sciences, computational linguistics, and related fields in computer science.
