Google quietly updated their ngrams viewer again this year. The books used appear to be extremely different yet again--the rate of the words "she said" are about 60% what they were in the 20th century compared to the 2019 release, and just 20% compared to 2009. But there's a catch:

The next Computational Humanities Research conference #CHR2025 will take place at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) in Luxembourg! 🇱🇺 #CHR2024

Reminder that we have two open calls for special issues, as well as a general call, deadline Jan 1. Missing Data in the Humanities: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... LLMs in Humanities Research: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

At the intro meeting at #CHR2024 for the new Computational Humanities Research Journal. Q: If a piece is published at the conference, does it also appear in the journal? A: No, need to submit separately. Journal articles should be a bit longer, maybe include more experiments.

That is so useful. Thanks a lot!

You get an extension, and *you* get an extension! The #DH2025 call for proposals is extended to December 8!
