COAP 2024 best paper prize: paper of M. Locatelli

This project proposes an innovative approach to the history of French by replacing the ‘tunnel vision’ (Watts/Trudgill 2002) which characterizes the vast majority of studies of ‘Classical French’ by a wider approach, based on an extraordinarily valuable source, i.e. the ‘Prize Papers’. The Prize Papers are a collection which includes 50,000 undelivered private French letters, confiscated between 1652 and 1815 during the frequent military conflicts between France and England. The documents are held by the National Archives of the United Kingdom in London, and are remnants of the privateering era, a longstanding legitimate activity of capturing enemy ships. These countless captured letters are becoming known to historians, who have recognized them as an invaluable source of information on the period in question, but have so far attracted little attention from linguists, even those focusing on diachrony. The MACINTOSH project is the first French initiative to explore this collection, and aims to show how the alternative data provided by these private documents can broaden the scope and fill the gaps left by traditional historical linguistics. The research focuses on the first French colonial era, shedding new light on the dynamics and mechanisms that led to the French and Creole varieties existing in America and the Indian Ocean.

Gestalt switches in Poincaré׳s prize paper: An inspiration for, but not an instance of, chaos

This article provides an overview and provenance of sources uncovered to-date relating to slavery, especially in the Indian Ocean region, contained the Prize Papers Collection at The National Archives, London. The Prize Papers consist of papers and objects confiscated by the British/English from captured ships as well as legal records from the ensuing court cases at the High Court of Admiralty in London. Presently only partially catalogued, the Prize Papers Project will catalogue this unique “accidental archive” down to document level, making its contents available and searchable in open access and bringing more and more traces of slavery to light. This paper presents examples of sources on slavery, in particular from the recently digitized bound appeals cases from the vice-courts of admiralty in the Indian Ocean region. It contextualizes their genealogy, considers their uses and their pitfalls and explores the opportunities they present for gaining further insight into slavery in this region.

Peer review versus citations – An analysis of best paper prizes

This article investigates how early modern migrants articulated identification with their host society in the context of the late eighteenth-century Dutch Republic, a period preceding modern nationalism. Drawing on a unique dataset derived from the Prize Papers – a collection of testimonies from captured sailors interrogated by British Admiralty courts – we analyze migrants’ declarations of sovereign allegiance. We assess how factors such as duration of residence, local citizenship (poorterschap), occupational rank, and marital status influenced migrants’ identification with their adopted polity. Using logistic regression, we find that civic institutional embeddedness, reflected in city citizenship, and occupational rank, especially among ship captains, significantly predicted identification with the Dutch Republic. In contrast, duration of residence and marital status had weak and statistically insignificant effects. Our findings highlight that pre-national forms of identification were deeply embedded in civic and institutional contexts rather than simply reflecting modern nationalist sentiments. By combining quantitative analysis with targeted archival research into individual biographies, this study demonstrates the complex interplay between institutional opportunities and personal networks in shaping migrants’ allegiances, thereby offering a nuanced historical perspective relevant to contemporary debates on civic integration.

The standard of the papers considered for these prizes was very high and the conference editors wish to thank the members of the conference editorial board for their work in considering all the applicants (see Fig. 1).

Editorial

The business of health delivery is complex.Employing over 850,000 people, and delivering services to 21.3 million residents, the Australian health care system is currently strained to the maximum in dealing with increasing demand for services and an acute shortage of skilled professionals.The National e--Health Strategy drives a nationwide research agenda to provide the infrastructure and tools required to support the planning, management and delivery of health care services.Deriving principles from the disciplines of computer science, mathematics, philosophy and physiology, and consisting of different fields, from machine vision to expert systems, the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) deals with the creation of "machines that can think".Focused on traits of reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, learning, communication, perception and social intelligence, AI has been widely applied to augment the state of the art in Health Informatics.This special issue reports on the latest developments in the field of AI motivated research in the health domain.
