A Tale of Two Cultures: Bringing Literary Analysis and Computational Linguistics Together
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are cultural barriers to collaborative effort between literary scholars and computational linguists. In this work, we discuss some of these problems in the context of our ongoing research project, an exploration of free indirect discourse in Virginia Woolf’s To The Lighthouse, ultimately arguing that the advantages of taking each field out of its “comfort zone” justifies the inherent difficulties.

متن کاملth Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
As an academic and an artist my practice-based research is at the intersection of language, art and digital technology. It explores the area of the in-between, the visual, the aural and the semantic. I am always interested in experimenting with the digital medium with the aim of engaging the reader/viewer/user in an experience of shifting ‘in’ and ‘out’ of language. This involves looking ‘at’ a...
