Botond Szemes will introduce his book Digit\u00e1lis irodalomtudom\u00e1ny<\/em><\/a> from 2024 , the first Hungarian-language monograph in the field of Computational Literary Studies. The volume includes case studies on Hungarian literary history, some of which will also be discussed in this lecture. Based on the analysis of 150 novels, the studies trace stylistic developments from the early 19th century to the late 20th century, in parallel with changes in the history of ideas. By examining the frequency of various linguistic elements, the research draws conclusions about literary style and worldview, as well as about each work\u2019s position within literary history. The book focuses primarily on sentence types characteristic of particular authors and periods. Among others, it explores J\u00f3zsef E\u00f6tv\u00f6s\u2019s complex sentences, Tibor D\u00e9ry\u2019s similes, P\u00e9ter N\u00e1das\u2019s adversative constructions, L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Krasznahorkai\u2019s famously long sentences, Imre Kert\u00e9sz\u2019s explanatory structures, and the distinctive features of Mikl\u00f3s M\u00e9sz\u00f6ly\u2019s prose.<\/p>\n

The event will take place as part of the bilateral mobility project SAV\u2013MAV 2025\u20132026<\/em>.<\/p>\n
