Abstract

This paper presents the transdisciplinary work on digital tools in the field of textual analysis. The availability of digitized or digital born textual sources provides opportunities for automatized analyses and new forms of support for researchers by information technology. However, this can only be successful under the condition that humanists and other researchers who want to use digital tools for their analyses and tool developers enter in a thorough reflection on the processes involved in textual analysis in order to provide detailed descriptions of each step in the research.
