Description
Lusophone literature can be studied and analysed by different disciplines and methodologies, which are often unknown among them. UNL is applying geografical information systems and share online SQL database, while ILOS is working with computational linguistics.
This initiative intends to find a way to combine the two approaches and make use of good pratices already existing in the two institutions.
It will be organized one training course, two internships, two workshops, several face-to-face and online meetings, and one conference.
Summary of the results
Reducing economic and social disparities: The main objective of the BILLIG project is the transfer of knowledge / methodologies between institutions. During the planned workshops, training courses and webinars it was intended that the greatest possible number of students and young researchers interested in the implementation of spatial analysis methods in computational linguistics could participate. Strengthening bilateral relations: Regarding the strengthening of bilateral relations, it can be said it was highly successful, since the project led to a close partnership between NOVA and ILOS. The presence of NOVA researchers at the ILOS workshop and training course and the presence of the ILOS researcher at NOVA meant that there was a deeper interaction between the researchers and between them and a wider academic community. This impact can also be measured in the outputs produced and published, since it was possible to write three papers, deliver two communications and submit two more to international congresses. These strengthen scientific relations were also developed during the four face-to-face meetings and other more informal ones, resulting all in the preparation of another proposal for a future project: a collaboration between ILOS, NOVA FCSH and Fundação Getúlio Vargas (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) to use part of the methodologies developed during BILLIG’s project to study historical dictionaries. The proposal should be submitted in 2021.
