Intelligent technologies for modern sociolinguistics

Abstract

Modern philology, which is at the intersection of traditional humanities and innovative technologies, is experiencing a real renaissance. If for centuries the analysis of language and literature was based on close reading, which required exceptional erudition and intuition of the researcher, today it is possible to study linguistic phenomena on an unprecedented scale. This became possible thanks to the development of intelligent technologies, which are divided into two key categories: knowledge-based [1], [2] and data-driven [3], [4]. They provide philologists with fundamentally new tools for working with text, allowing not only to analyze what is already known, but also to reveal previously invisible patterns and connections. These technologies help transform philology from a purely interpretive science into a discipline that combines qualitative and quantitative analysis, opening the way to new, interdisciplinary research in modern realities, when the volume of information is growing exponentially and social and cultural processes are becoming increasingly dynamic.
