49th Austrian Linguistics Conference (ÖLT 2025)

ITSERR researchers Giovanni Puccetti (IIT‑CNR), Marianna Napolitano (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia/FSCIRE) and Andrea Esuli (ISTI–CNR), together with Maria Cassese (ISTI‑CNR), took part in the 49th Austrian Linguistics Conference (Österreichische Linguistiktagung) in Klagenfurt, contributing to the 2nd Digital Slavic Panel devoted to digital methods in Slavic linguistics. The paper “Tracing historical and regional variation of Church Slavonic: a hybrid quantitative and qualitative approach” presented the use of the DIACU (DIAchronic Analysis of Church Slavonic) dataset to automatically classify liturgical texts into the different historical and regional varieties of Church Slavonic, combining machine-learning models with a qualitative analysis of the texts.
