Towards an innovative, systematic approach to concordance analysis. Project team: @michamahlberg.bsky.social @schtepf.bsky.social @nfdykes.bsky.social @apiperski.bsky.social
A big part of #RC21 has been fiction. In our new blog post, we use Flexiconc to examine "eyes" in the nonfiction sections of the #BNC.

For today's World Book Day, @textandlanguagelab.bsky.social are giving you a taste of all the books to explore on www.clic-ficiton.com.
Using the FlexiConc tab developed by RC21 gives you even more options to see how books were described in 19th century literature.

Looking forward to #cads2026 with two presentations:
📚 "Body, movement and sensation in fanfiction on Jane Austen" with @anastasiaglawion.bsky.social & @michamahlberg.bsky.social
🏛️ "A Multivariate Analysis of Quotation in German Parliamentary Debates"
An analysis tree of the concordance for "Christmas" in CLiC's interface for FlexiConc showing three algorithms: partition by n-grams, partition by metadata attribute, KWIC grouper ranker
Merry Christmas from the RC21 team!
Stay tuned for updates in the first few months of the new year. In the meantime, our analysis tree offers a reusable and environmentally friendly literary alternative to the biological version.

The Text and Language Research Group, led by @michamahlberg.bsky.social, has just revealed its newly designed in-house logo! Created to reflect our identity in the DH, @dhssfau.bsky.social

Participants learned a great deal by using a powerful digital tool like Clic to analyze #gender in #19th-century #fiction with concordance analysis, all run by Dr. Nathan Dykes @nfdykes.bsky.social.

We wouldn't want to pick favourites among #RC21 workshops, but if we did, the #DHSS2025 participants would be tough to beat.
It was great to see such lively discussions during a hands-on concordance analysis exercise that didn't need anything more than a PDF reader.
Eight now in our Summer School on Data, Gender and Society @nfdykes.bsky.social is introducing hands on examples of concordance analysis with flexiconc.

Now @nfdykes.bsky.social is setting out to make connections between close & distant reading

May be of interest of attendees at the #RC21symposium by
@rc21project.bsky.social, where Susan gave a wonderful talk on a very related topic back in spring ☺️
How can concordances help us study gender in 19th-century fiction?
In just a couple of weeks, @nfdykes.bsky.social represents #RC21 at #DHSS2025 to explore with participants how FlexiConc contributes to #DataGenderSociety!
