计算人文经历了半个多世纪的发展,在名词、定义、指代方面亟需明确形成规范,并使这一交叉领域在当前发展阶段更加凸显计算的价值和重要性。文章对计算人文相关表述进行了再讨论,明确了“计算人文”这一表述的优势,阐明了计算人文的研究对象、研究问题和研究方法,厘清了计算人文的学科内涵,分析了计算人文在国家战略、信息资源管理学科更名以及新文科建设中面临的机遇和使命,并以计算语言学、计算史学、计算文献学、计算文学等学科为例阐述了计算人文学科体系的构成。计算人文学科由众多形如“计算X”的子学科组成,各个“X”可分别对应于某个具体的人文学科。
Computational humanities has experienced more than half a century of development, and it is urgent to gradually clarify and form norms in terms of nouns, definitions, and references, and to highlight the value and importance of computing in this interdisciplinary at the current stage of development. This article discussed several related expressions including digital humanities and computational humanities, and clarified the advantages of computational humanities as an expression. Focusing on the objects, issues and methods, with clarification on the subject connotation, this study analyzes the opportunities of computational humanities in national strategy, subject renaming of IRM, and new liberal arts construction. Taking computational linguistics, computational history, computational philology, and computational literature as examples, this article explained and formed a system of computational humanities as a discipline which is composed of many sub-disciplines in the form of "computational X", and each "X" can correspond to a specific disciplines in humanities.
