Learning outcomes
The aim of the optional seminar in WS 2021/2022, which is implemented at the Department of Czech Studies, Faculty of Arts, UPOL, is to acquaint students with the basic possibilities that Digital Humanities offers to literary science today, especially in the field of computer processing of natural language. The seminar, which is not an alternative to corpus linguistics at FF UP, is designed into two consecutive parts. The first will be devoted to selected examples of the use of exact methods in literary science, aesthetics, or. linguistics (where the subject is a literary work and related issues), on the one hand, the presentation of current domestic research projects, which is based on the stimuli of quantitative-corpus methods, NLP or digital literary cartography. The second part will focus on mastering the basics of programming (NLP) in Python. The purpose of the seminar is not to provide a comprehensive overview of literary-oriented research within Digital Humanities, but to acquaint students with one of the partial areas of DH in literary science, which is based on the possibilities of machine processing and natural language analysis, whose potential can be used in the literary context. The seminar will end with a credit, which students will receive for the independent elaboration of the assigned task. Attendance at the seminar does not require any prior knowledge of programming.
