This series brings together a range of experts working across digital humanities and the arts, offering informal, engaging talks designed for a broad audience. The focus is on sharing ideas and perspectives in a clear and accessible way, making the field approachable to anyone with an interest, no prior knowledge required.
Talks will also be livestreamed on MSHL’s YouTube channel, making them accessible both on-site and online.
You can find the recordings and materials from our inaugural lecture series, Digital Humanities After Hours, here.

How Many Ways Can You Say It? Measuring Language Diversity with Digital Methods
Understanding how languages vary in the way they build expressions is essential for studying texts across periods and languages, yet traditional descriptions capture only a fraction of this diversity. Patternization is an approach that combines traditional text analysis and corpus linguistics with mathematical methods into a Python tool that allows us to explore such syntactic variation: it treats phrases as sequences of category labels and compares the patterns that actually appear with the full range of patterns that could appear. This task is hardly feasible if performed manually, illustrating how digital methods can reveal nuances otherwise invisible to the human eye.
