摘要

如果在英语语言学领域有任何数字人文学科(DH)的概念,它可能被视为一种专注于数字化文本和制作数字版本的技术实践。在JEngL的档案内容中,数字人文学科的一次出现是对数字版本和编辑角色的偶然提及——在一次采访中,而不是在一篇研究文章中(Grant 2014)。在卫生保健内部,关于卫生保健的本质是什么有更激烈的讨论,以及关于卫生保健可以是什么的创造性方法论问题。这是因为从内部进行的卫生保健在很大程度上被视为一种方法上的挑战,受到有意义的、甚至是紧迫的研究问题的驱动,这些问题不仅来自人文学科,也来自社会科学,这些问题可以通过开发新的数字方法和工具来最有效地解决。如果卫生保健是一种方法论实践,它是在方法和认识论的意义上:询问和辩论我们如何能够知道我们需要知道的东西,并测试选定的数字方法在服务于特定研究问题方面的功效。作为卫生保健中心的语料库语言学家,我在这里从两个学科的角度介绍卫生保健和英语语言学的观点。我的讨论从语料库语言学开始,但也包括更广泛的英语语言学和整体语言学。我认为,作为语言学家,我们应该关心DH,不仅因为我们所做的大部分工作都是DH(即使我们并不总是认识到这一点),而且因为英语语言学和DH之间的合作将对我们所有人都有成果。卫生保健的研究问题范围广泛;卫生署近期涉及人文及社会科学的主要研究项目包括:

Why Linguists Should Care about Digital Humanities (and Epidemiology)
Where there is any perception of digital humanities (DH) within the field of English linguistics, it may be seen as a technical practice preoccupied with digitizing texts and producing digital editions. The one occurrence of digital humanities in JEngL’s archival content is a passing reference to digital editions and the role of editors—in an interview rather than a research article (Grant 2014). Within DH, there is a more vigorous conversation about what DH fundamentally is, alongside creative methodological questions about what it can be. That is because DH—from within—is largely viewed as a methodological challenge, driven by meaningful, even urgent research questions originating not only in the humanities but also in the social sciences which can be most effectively addressed via the development of new digital methods and tools. If DH is a methodological practice, it is in the sense of methods and epistemology: asking and debating how it is that we can know what we need to know, and testing the efficacy of selected digital methods in the service of specific research questions. As a corpus linguist based in a DH center, I present here a view of DH and English linguistics from within both disciplines. My discussion begins with a focus on corpus linguistics, but also includes English linguistics more generally, and linguistics as a whole. I argue that we as linguists should care about DH, not only because much of what we do is DH (even if we do not always recognize it as such), but also because collaborations between English linguistics and DH will be fruitful for all of us. Research questions in DH are wide-ranging; recent major DH projects that encompass humanities and social sciences include:

期刊介绍: Journal of English Linguistics: The Editor invites submissions on the modern and historical periods of the English language. JEngL normally publishes synchronic and diachronic studies on subjects from Old and Middle English to modern English grammar, corpus linguistics, and dialectology. Other topics such as language contact, pidgins/creoles, or stylistics, are acceptable if the article focuses on the English language. Articless normally range from ten to twenty-five pages in typescript. JEngL reviews titles in general and historical linguistics, language variation, socio-linguistics, and dialectology for an international audience. Unsolicited reviews cannot be considered. Books for review and correspondence regarding reviews should be sent to the Editor.
