Computer Based Meaning Research - semtracks
 |
Texts have semantic imprints on their surfaces that can be read as
indices for their pragmatic, social or cultural function. These
imprints lie beyond traditional concepts of meaning and have so far
neither been systematically identified nor analyzed. Using
transformations in images of the U.S. since 2001 as a case study,
this project will develop categories for the description of semantic
imprints with a data-driven approach and integrate them into a model
that allows an automatic semantic analysis of texts. In doing so, the
project will explore possible applications of these models for the
semantization of the internet and the methodology of social sciences
and cultural studies.
