Corpus linguistics. Distant reading. Available abstract.

In case anyone’s interested, the abstract is now available for Ann Hewings’s and my paper in the Digital Humanities in Practice series, ‘Corpus linguistics as distant reading?’ We’ll be presenting it to the Digital Humanities Thematic Research Network at the Open University in Milton Keynes, from 12.00 on 4 July. The event goes on until 14.00, but that’s including lunch. Thanks to Francesca Benatti for inviting us and organising everything! Neither Ann nor I is a digital humanist, but Francesca assuredly is, so I shall trust her judgement that this is a good idea and look forward to some interesting discussion.

I believe that somebody’s going to be recording our presentation, so if you miss it but are curious to know what Ann and I had to say, it may be possible to catch up later. If you are, on the other hand, both willing and able to attend, please email Heather Scott (ku.ca.neponull@ttocs.rehtaeh) by 1 July – otherwise, no free lunch!
