| Abstract | We present our ongoing work on language technology-based e-science in thehumanities, social sciences and education, with a focus on text-based researchin the historical sciences. An important aspect of language technology is theresearch infrastructure known by the acronym BLARK (Basic LAnguage ResourceKit). A BLARK as normally presented in the literature arguably reflects amodern standard language, which is topic- and genre-neutral, thus abstractingaway from all kinds of language variation. We argue that this notion couldfruitfully be extended along any of the three axes implicit in thischaracterization (the social, the topical and the temporal), in our case thetemporal axis, towards a diachronic BLARK for Swedish, which can be used todevelop e-science tools in support of historical studies. |
