Abstract

The following is a description of the facilities, activities and research projects of the GIRCSE at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. The Group offers courses on computing in the humanities and assists scholars in their computer-based philological research. We discuss the problems of pre-editing of texts, lemmatization and textual analysis programs. We provide a comprehensive list of the Group's independent and collaborative research projects.

She gained her degree in German Literature at the Università Cattolica del Sacre Cuore di Milano in 1981, where she is presently a teacher of computational linguistics and is involved in the computerization of Johann Georg Hamann's letters and works. Her publications include “Per i testi teaeschi di J. G. Hamann,” in R. Busa sj, Fondamenti di informatica linguitica, Milano: Vita e Pensiero, 1987, pp. 183–213; and “Der Hamann-index der Katholischen Universtat Mailand,” in Acta des funften Internationalen Hamann-Kollopuiums in Munster, Frankfurt A.M.: Peter Lang, 1990, pp. 521–536.
