CONFERENCE

The Quantitative Approaches to Versification conference will meet June 24–26, 2019 in Prague, Czech Republic. This conference, which is dedicated to Květa Sgallová, one of the most prominent Czech experts in versification, continues the tradition of the annual international Slavyansky Stikh conference, which dates back to 1960s.

We welcome proposals for papers dealing with quantitative analysis (ranging from simple descriptive statistics to advanced machine learning) of all aspects of versification. Papers of 20 minutes may bear on material from any time and in any language, but must be delivered in English.
