Sinn und Segment. Wie die digitale Analysepraxis unsere Begriffe schärft

Abstract

Part of a sustainable development of the Digital Humanities (DH) are findings whose relevance extends beyond DH communities because they are providing answers to existing research questions. A possible way of entering into this conversation seems to be a reflection on questions of how digital analyses critically question basic concepts of linguistics and literary studies and thus sharpen their definition. In this paper, we are going to address such questions based on the example of text segmentation which forms the basis for many analyses, and which can be used, albeit in different ways, as a foundation for both reading and computational processing of text. We are taking exemplary issues from linguistic and literary segmentation practice as a vantage point for discussion in this paper.
