Digital Humanities Reading Group: February

The Digital Humanities Reading Group is a light and easy way to get into regularly discussing peer-reviewed DH work, no previous knowledge necessary. Everyone is welcome. The group is across the Humanities faculty and is currently hosted at Engerom. We discuss either a work-in-progress text by one of the participants, a guest presentation, or a published paper, as part of an informal and friendly meet-up.

In this session, we will read two older corpus linguistics texts:

• Leech, Geoffrey and Roger Fallon. 1992. “Computer corpora – what do they tell us about culture?” ICAME Journal 16: 29-50.
• Ooi, Vincent B. Y. 2000. “Asian or Western realities? Collocations in Singaporean-Malaysian English.” In J. M. Kirk (ed.). Corpora galore: Analyses and techniques in describing English, 73–89. Amsterdam: Rodopi.
