ADV-ADS: A Geo-Referenced Dataset of Vernacular Farm Animal-Directed Speech in Bavaria and Upper Austria (1930)

This data descriptor outlines the structural properties, variables, and distribution schema of the ADV-ADS dataset. The dataset represents a digitized, annotated, and geo-referenced sample (N=7,922 records) extracted from Question 31 of the \textit{Atlas der Deutschen Volkskunde} (ADV) survey conducted in 1930. The data documents the linguistic structures of animal-directed speech (ADS)---specifically attractant commands (Lockrufe) and scaring calls (Scheuchrufe)---across 12 domestic animal domains distributed throughout 302 historical municipalities in Bavaria (Germany) and Upper Austria. It serves as an open-access repository resource under a CC BY 4.0 license designed to support computational folk-culture research, dialectology, and inter-species interaction mapping.

Mentioning this specifically also for the #complexSystems and #networkScience community on here, in case you know students that might be interested 😉

Same for people in fields like #computationalSociology or #computationalHumanities

I love it when a plan comes together… The @snsf_ch has approved my Scientific Exchanges proposal “Models and Narratives: Computational and Historical Thinking in Dialogue,” so I now look forward to spending 6 months in #Brussels working on the theory and epistemology of #ComputationalHistory with @sdevaleriola and his team.

Registration is now open for our 2026 Annual Event, taking place on 15–16 June at the University of Southampton and online.

The theme for this year’s event is 🍃 Sustainability🍃 , explored in its broadest sense: from sustaining digital infrastructures and research teams to addressing digital preservation, ethical computing, climate justice, and wider social justice concerns in digital cultural heritage.

Registration fees:
• £35 for standard in‑person attendance
• £20 for students and unwaged attendees
• Free for online participation

The programme brings together colleagues from across sectors to reflect on sustainable methods, practices, and futures for digital humanities.

How to read thousands of newspaper articles?

Three researchers at Herder-Institut Marburg used #TopicModeling to analyse over 7,000 articles in Latvian diaspora newspapers. They uncovered a remarkable archive of how displaced communities maintained identity across decades and continents - and found that topic modeling is a serendipitous technology...

To be honest, I was a bit stressed about potential last-minute issues, but in the end, yesterday’s workshop on “Structure and Interpretation: Towards Computational Historiographical Modeling” went smoothly.

Thanks again to our keynote speaker Manfred Thaller and our invited speakers: @sdevaleriola, @feichtimo, @resonanzfilter, Sébastien Poublanc, and @ChristianWachter.
