Description

Computers are becoming central to humanities subjects in their capacities to edit, to learn and translate languages, to write instructions, and to test students, even to analyze argument, style, vocabulary, and semantic content. This is the second in a series of comprehensive annual guides to the use of computers in the humanities. Entries are selected for their relevance to the humanities and they include a survey of publications, research centres, text archives, term banks, and electronic software and hardware. Special enlarged entries list important software and provide up-to-date information and practical help in applying that information to research projects and tuition.
