Digital Humanities In Language And Literature: Unveiling New Worlds Of Inquiry

Abstract

The field of Digital Humanities is a rapidly emerging interdisciplinary area that combines the methods and techniques of humanities research with technology and computational tools. The emergence of digital humanities (also represented as DH) has profoundly reshaped the landscape of language and literature studies. This paper explores the transformative impact of DH, examining how it offers innovative approaches to analysing texts, understanding language evolution, and fostering deeper engagement with literary works.  By harnessing the power of digital tools and methodologies, scholars can uncover hidden patterns, explore large datasets, and create interactive visualisations that enrich our understanding of literature and language. This paper will also discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by DH, highlighting its potential to democratize access to knowledge and create new avenues for collaborative research.
