TEASYS – NEWS

In the summer term, TEASys co-founder Prof. Dr. Angelika Zirker is  
offering the focus module “How to Do Things with Corpora” at the  
University of Tübingen (eligible also for the DH special profile). In  
this course, participants will get to know various forms of dealing  
with corpora and get hands-on experience of different tools for  
approaches from distant and close reading to compiling collections of  
texts themselves. The course will take place on Mondays from 10-12  
c.t., starting April 24, 2023 and will focus on digital methods in  
literary studies that can be applied to corpora. Everyone who is  
interested is very welcome to join.

include explanatory annotation (of the social or the editorial kind),  
web platforms, tools and applications that enable the user to  
(collaboratively) annotate texts. Please use the corresponding form on  
our webpage. We thank you for your help.
