Integration in the digital humanities

address a range of research opportunities

respond to different research styles and traditionsrecognise that knowledge is a ‘local’ construct—subject to epistemic commitments

and disciplinary conservatism

Page 15: Language, text and e-research

Integration with theory

develop a clear hermeneutic position: how do ‘data’ connect with the ‘real world’; how do frequency statistics relate to truth-claims? etc....—in effect, challenge Sinclair’s

instrumentalism—theorise the drift from human-centred to technical object-centred research—clarify the ontology of ‘language’ as multiple knowledge-object (Mol 2002: The body multiple)
