Digital Philology

The cross-departmental working group Digital Philology employs methods from computational linguistics, corpus linguistics, statistics, and, more generally, Digital Humanities (DH).

We are also involved in the coordination of - and teaching courses in - the master program MA Digital Humanities as well as in the EC Digital Humanities. The MA Digital Humanities is a recently established  program in which students acquire theoretical and methodological knowledge relevant for the DH. It is jointly offered by the Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies and the Faculty of Philological and Cultural Studies in collaboration with the Research Network Data Science.

Moreover, we contribute to the FSP Digital Humanities and jointly organize the DH Lecture Series, one of the major networking activities for DH researchers at the University of Vienna.
