Corpus analysis is a form of text analysis which allows you to make comparisons between textual objects at a large scale (so-called 'distant reading').
with Pierce Penilesse led to a new emphasis on interrogating "the precise relation between writer and persona, rather than that between persona and reader or rewriter" (121). Their disputes over the vulgar Pierce's ever-shifting relationship to Nashe himself, in this account, constituted a proxy war for the longstanding debate over which writers possessed the authority to operate within the English literary field and over the social and literary value assigned to their contributions. By refusing to resolve the nature of his own intimacy with Pierce, Nashe pioneered a newly reflexive, ironic form of personation that would continue to reshape this field in the coming decades.These later developments animate the book's coda, which argues that early modern personae provided one important template for what would eventually be termed the author function. Taking two miscellanies of poetry-the 1557 Songs and Sonettes and the 1600 Englands Helicon-as convenient brackets for the study as a whole, this final section demonstrates that such compilations did not merely advance (or withhold) specific authorial attributions but were also increasingly invested in the conceptual problem of "what kind of person an author is" (157). The life story that Paper Monsters tells is thus finally a narrative of generational succession. The same vitality that had made personae an ideal medium for working out the emerging conventions of authorship also allowed them to become just another metafictional device for authors who had begun to assert their hegemony over the text. The book ends with a speculative extension of this trendline into the contemporary authorial experimentation of Karl Ove Knausgård and Elena Ferrante. Indeed, the theoretical questions Fallon raises should prove fruitful for book historians studying literary personae or the concept of authorship across periods and national boundaries. But the most surprising insights offered by Paper Monsters lie in the way that it excavates genuinely new layers of the early modern English literary field-a field composed of print, manuscript, and endlessly mutable textual persons-by charting the inky paths of personae through its depths.Early English Books Online.

A partnership between nursing education and practice provides an opportunity for RNs to obtain baccalaureate degrees in their practice settings. The result is a flexible educational option that lowers cost and increases accessibility for students. The college and hospitals cooperate to meet nurses' desire to advance both educationally and professionally. Returning RNs attend liberal arts and nursing classes onsite at hospitals where all courses are taught by college faculty. Many RNs are at a crossroads and need additional education to further their career opportunities and stay abreast within a rapidly changing health care environment. To meet their needs, coursework involves active, cooperative learning processes in a climate where personal esteem is promoted and communication and collaboration are fostered. This approach can expand understanding among all parties so the future can bring new models to meet the needs of returning RNs in baccalaureate nursing programs.
Research data management (RDM) is often seen as the overarching field that permits research data to be managed, and is related to the field of data curation (DC), a subset of digital curation. Together, RDM and DC (RDM/DC) allow information professionals to work with clients and each other to make data available in support of the research enterprise. An emerging area of scholarly communication, RDM/DC represents a rich area of study from the perspective of knowledge organization (KO). This paper explores the following research question: What can facet analysis tell us about the emerging field of RDM/DC? First, the MAchine Learning for LanguagE Toolkit (MALLET) implementation of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is used for topic modelling of abstracts of the RDM/DC scholarly literature. A preliminary analysis of this empirical data by the research team yields a number of topics and, when possible, their relevant aspects or contexts. Facet analysis principles are next applied to these results, producing four general facets: Practice, Stakeholders, Resources, and Study of RDM/DC; however, complex notions infused throughout the field such as “services” and “metadata” do not appear outright in the analysis. Each facet is then further explored through logical division, and the resulting system is encoded in Protégé and visualized using WebVOWL. We conclude that the major areas of emphasis in this data-intensive field will be fundamentally of interest to those in LIS, in scholarly communication, and perhaps increasingly, in KO and other fields that manage and make available data of all kinds.
Shakespeare's Language in Digital Media offers a survey of literary-linguistic scholarship related to Shakespeare and language utilizing a range of digital methods. This collection of essays serves as an indicative survey of ways we can think about practical applications for the data deluge related to printed materials from the early modern period. Part of Routledge's relatively new Digital Research in the Arts and Humanities series, this is the first period-specific volume thus far. Rather than emphasize a particular method, the present volume is primarily interested in showing depth and breadth for a range of applications. The editors begin by laying out the literary-linguistic landscape of two key digital resources, Early English Books Online Text Creation Partnership Phase 1 (EEBO-TCP) and Lexicons of Early Modern English (LEME). The remainder of the book presents a series of studies exploring various use cases for these essential resources for the field. Each section of the volume focuses on a specific methodological approach: observing and tracing linguistic change over time, handling questions of language as digital editors, and linguistic interventions through the process of creating and implementing digital markup. For someone interested in using digital methods for the first time, this is a wonderful primer. It offers a survey of resources available for literary-linguistic inquiry, a range of potential outcomes, and a strong case for why the digital is an inherently essential part of a scholar's toolkit, regardless of whether or not they identify as a digital humanist. One particular highlight is Toby Malone's essay in part 2, which is full of screenshots from an Excel spreadsheet. There is something so approachable about observing his process in such a deeply unpretentious way: there is no need to use fancy, unfamiliar software when the familiar works perfectly well for the immediate purpose. This book does not work particularly well as a linear read, and this is the biggest weakness of the volume. A different organizational method might have benefited the beginning reader more. The most conceptually difficult chapters (related to the ability to trace linguistic forms using LEME) are placed early on in part 1. Meanwhile, the more straightforward examples (related to resources, markup, and their various affordances) are placed at the end of the volume. This is clearly designed to foreground by beginning with familiar resources and move into the more abstract applications, but ends up having the opposite effect. For example, I would have loved to see Laura Estill and Andie Silva's wonderful contribution as the first content chapter for part 1 rather than introducing part 3. Instead, the editors begin with very dense deep dives into semantic change and linguistic use as illustrated by the LEME.
