Project Overview

This project aims to find and present statistical humanities projects, especially early ones, for the following reasons:

1. To provide historical context for the development of the field of digital humanities.
2. To preserve the work of early statistical humanities projects.
3. To identify common strategies and important developments in the field.

Project Goals

The goal of this project is to research, transcribe, present, and analyze early and/or toy statistical humanities projects. As research for additional projects wraps up, pages will be added to this site to present them.

Project Progress

The project is in perpetual development. The first transcription was William Stanley Jevons's work on Shakespeare. The second is Mendenhall's work on characteristic curves and is still in progress.

About Statistical Humanities

Statistical humanities is a subfield of digital humanities that uses statistical methods to analyze humanities data. This can include text analysis, network analysis, and other methods. The field has been around for a long time, but has been called different things over the years.

Project Overview

PhonoLex is a software package that allows users to define phonological patterns and query lists of words for matches. Word-level features may also be defined, including character and phoneme length, the presence of diphthongs, the number of syllables, and the desired frequency of the word. Phoneme-level features that may be used to define patterns include many standard manners of articulation. There are three modes of matching a pattern: STARTS_WITH, ENDS_WITH, and CONTAINS. Users may also query a particular word to obtain its phonological description.

Use Case

The package was initially developed to aid speech-language pathologists in developing phonologically defined word lists for certain therapies.
