“…In modern studies, documents are studied with different digital tools which find the 'stylistic fingerprint' of an author (Eder, Piasecki, &Walkowiak, 2017). The Voyant Summary Tool was designed by Sinclair & Rockwell (2016) in Canada. This digital tool is capable of highlighting the style markers of different authors (Sinclair & Rockwell, 2015).…”

To quantify the style markers of any writer is a laborious and erroneous task in close reading, while distant reading with the Voyant Summary tool presents stylometric features precisely. The current study employs the Voyant summary tool to analyse data through the lens of Stefan Sinclair and Geoffery Rockwell's Hermeneutica Theory (2016). The Voyant Summary tool performs text mining of Coelho's style markers; total words, unique words, vocabulary density, the average length of sentences and the most frequent words. Coelho's vocabulary density ranges from 0.075 to 0.263 words. Colhelo's average length of sentences ranges from 13 to 26.2 words per sentence. The dialogic writing style is evident with the word 'said'. Moreover, themes of love and life are the most repeated ones. To enhance the readability of his works, he refrains from archaic vocabulary. The Zahir shows the lowest vocabulary density, while Adultery reveals the highest vocabulary density.

“…This transformation encompasses two main stages: data modelling, referring to the conversion of humanities data into a computer-processable format, and knowledge modelling, which involves organising humanities knowledge into structured formats, typically comprising relationships between entities (Kitchin and McArdle 2016). These processes underpin a myriad of applications in digital humanities, from analysing linguistic patterns in literature to charting historical events and tracking cultural trends (McCarty, 2005;Rockwell and Sinclair 2016).…”

Data and Knowledge Modelling as the Methodological Foundation of the Digital Humanities

Digital humanities is a multidisciplinary field that leverages digital technology and methodologies to explore and answer questions pertaining to the humanities. It is a dynamic intersection between the domains of computer science and the humanities, promoting innovation, collaboration, and research at the highest levels. However, as a relatively young field, the methodological foundations of the digital humanities are still being established. This paper seeks to explore the core methodologies that underpin digital humanities. The modelling of data, information, and knowledge can be considered one of the foundations of digital humanities. One of the arguments confirming this is that the development of digital humanities and the development of technologies in general are the development of ways to formalise and present data and knowledge. Science has come a long way from the modelling and computer representation of numbers to generating texts and art on the basis of prescribed inputs. With the advent of artificial intelligence, especially machine learning and deep learning techniques, the potential for more sophisticated and nuanced data modelling in the digital humanities has expanded significantly, linking computational capabilities with humanistic inquiries in unprecedented ways. The article considers the periodization, classification, and trends of approaches and methods for modelling data, information and knowledge in the humanities. The article provides an overview of existing examples and data models of different complexity from various humanities disciplines, including history, linguistics, literary criticism, and cultural studies.

“…The present article is specifically interested in the way the British Prime Minister communicated the social units of the household and the bubble and dealt with people's responses. The selected dataset is analysed quantitatively using Sketchengine (Kilgarriff et al 2014) and Voyant (Rockwell and Sinclair 2016). Sketchengine allows to generate concordances and n-grams from large corpora.…”

A new hearth? Defining social units during the Covid-19 pandemic

Slogans like ‘stay safe, stay apart’ stare at us at train stations, shopping malls, community centres and the like. The link between safety and separation has become a theme over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic. The social units to be separated are the household and the bubble, the former an established social unit, the latter a pandemic creation. During the pandemic, strict rules govern (i) household mixing, including variously the rule of 1 other person, the rule of 6 and the rule of one other household, (ii) shielding, which is a prohibition on mixing, and (iii) bubbles, including childcare, care and support bubbles. These rules were perceived in various ways by the population subjected to them, with one prominent theme being the restriction of personal freedom (Duffy 2020). Three research questions emerge from this situation: (i) (How) does the household as a social unit fit into modern-day society?(ii) What is the process of defining successfully a basic social unit?(iii) (How) can one persuade people to trade their liberty for safety?
