DiscourseNet International Congress #1 <br>Panel: Quantifying methods in discourse studies. Possibilities and limits for the analysis of discursive practices

The interest in such methods has increased since the popularisation of computer technologies in the 1980s which has changed language practices on the one hand and the way these languages are studied by researchers on the other hand. In recent years this had a huge impact on the research landscape: numerous initiatives, platforms and projects have occurred under the label of digital humanities and big data.
