Computational philology
The term computer philology is a collective term for the possible uses of the computer in literary studies . The word arose in the early 1990s as a parallel to the older term computational linguistics . Computer philology is part of the digital humanities .
A central field of work in computer philology is the creation of digital editions . The basis for this is knowledge of data modeling , text coding (especially with XML and the Text Encoding Initiative ) and information visualization . The use of digital editions and corpora ranges from simple searches or screen reading to complex information retrieval and quantitative text analysis. Further fields of work are the theoretical reflection of the new medium of digital text or hypertext and the analysis of artistic hypertexts, so-called hyperfictions (see digital poetry ).
