Learning objectives

The laboratory aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to carry out articulated and interdisciplinary projects using the fundamental methodologies and technologies in Digital Humanities. At the end of the laboratory the students: - will be able to combine the previously acquired skills of programming, data and information management, and web development to autonomously implement complex Digital Humanities projects; - will know and will be able to apply a well-founded methodology for the planning and development of a Digital Humanities software project.

Program

Il laboratorio si propone di fornire agli studenti le conoscenze e le abilità richieste per sviluppare progetti interdisciplinari utilizzando le metodologie e tecnologie delle Digital Humanities. Alla fine del corso gli studenti:

1) sapranno integrare le conoscenze acquisite nei campi della linguistica, sociologia, semiotica e comprendere l’importanza dei metodi quantitativi;
2) saranno in grado di utilizzare software per la creazione, annotazione e analisi di corpora di comunicazione digitale;
3) avranno acquisito conoscenze teoriche e metodologiche in campo statistico;
4) impareranno a utilizzare R per l’analisi statistica di dati linguistici e multimodali.

Programma:

TEORIA (primo modulo, 12h)
1) La comunicazione nei media dal punto di vista linguistico, semiotico e sociologico: come approcciarla per studiarla e analizzarla
2) Nozioni base di statistica: funzionalità, metodo, test per l’analisi linguistica.

PRATICA: INFORMATICA (secondo modulo, 12h)
Corpora e software per l’analisi di dati linguistici: cosa sono e come crearli, annotarli e analizzarli attraverso risorse informatiche.
Focus: Corpus Linguistics e utilizzo dei software Sketch Engine, Voyant, AntConc, WebAnno per:
1) analisi di frequenze, keywords, collocazioni; 2) studio di POS tagging e regular expressions; 3) sviluppo di sistemi di annotazioni e metodi di annotazione manuale; 4) visualizzazione di dati.

PRATICA: INFORMATICA (terzo modulo, 12h)
Analisi statistica di dati linguistici con R: 1) Cosa è R; 2) Come usare R; 3) Script per calcoli di statistica descrittiva e inferenziale.
