Preface
The idea of this book goes back to the HiCor Research Network, founded and led by us together with Gard Jenset and Kerry Russell. HiCor was a research group of historians and corpus linguists at the University of Oxford active between 2012 and 2014. It was generously supported by TORCH (The Oxford Research Center for the Humanities). In addition to organizing lectures and a workshop, HiCor also aimed to disseminate language technology among historians and, more generally, humanists.
