Learn how to use Python for linguistics and digital humanities
research, perfect for students working with Python for the first
time Python programming is no longer only for computer science
students; it is now an essential skill in linguistics, the digital
humanities (DH), and social science programs that involve text
analytics. Python Programming for Linguistics and Digital
Humanities provides a comprehensive introduction to this widely
used programming language, offering guidance on using Python to
perform various processing and analysis techniques on text.
Assuming no prior knowledge of programming, this student-friendly
guide covers essential topics and concepts such as installing
Python, using the command line, working with strings, writing
modular code, designing a simple graphical user interface (GUI),
annotating language data in XML and TEI, creating basic
visualizations, and more. This invaluable text explains the basic
tools students will need to perform their own research projects and
tackle various data analysis problems. Throughout the book,
hands-on exercises provide students with the opportunity to apply
concepts to particular questions or projects in processing textual
data and solving language-related issues. Each chapter concludes
with a detailed discussion of the code applied, possible
alternatives, and potential pitfalls or error messages. Teaches
students how to use Python to tackle the types of problems they
will encounter in linguistics and the digital humanities Features
numerous practical examples of language analysis, gradually moving
from simple concepts and programs to more complex projects
Describes how to build a variety of data visualizations, such as
frequency plots and word clouds Focuses on the text processing
applications of Python, including creating word and frequency
lists, recognizing linguistic patterns, and processing words for
morphological analysis Includes access to a companion website with
all Python programs produced in the chapter exercises and
additional Python programming resources Python Programming for
Linguistics and Digital Humanities: Applications for Text-Focused
Fields is a must-have resource for students pursuing text-based
research in the humanities, the social sciences, and all subfields
of linguistics, particularly computational linguistics and corpus
linguistics.
