摘要

摘   要:文章讨论计算人文视阈下计算语言学的定位问题,主要涉及三个问题:计算人文视阈下计算语言学的定位、研究范式,以及它与其他计算人文研究方向的关系。“计算人文”这一术语明确了数字人文的研究以计算技术解决人文学科的研究问题这一研究范式。我们认为,当前计算语言学的工作显示出明显的工程特征,将语言作为数据进行处理,很少有回答语言学研究问题的工作。尽管很多学者认为计算语言学是语言学的研究方向之一,但目前并无很多利用计算技术来进行语言学研究的案例。因此,以文本可读性工作为例,提出一个利用计算技术进行语言学研究的计算语言学研究范式。研究认为,计算语言学在工作方式上与其他计算人文研究方向并无二致,应在统一的研究范式下工作;作为研究工具的计算语言学,则需要在有效性和可解释性间获得平衡,推动数字人文各分支领域的发展,这是计算语言学在“以人文为核心,以计算为工具”这一研究框架中的准确定位。

Abstract

In this article, we discuss the positioning of computational linguistics in the context of computational humanities. We focus on three main issues: the position of computational linguistics in the context of computational humanities, the research paradigm, and its relationship with other research fields in computational humanities. The term "computational humanities" clarifies the research paradigm in which the study of digital humanities solves research problems in the humanities with computational technologies. We find that current work in computational linguistics shows distinctly engineering character, treating language as data, with little work answering the research questions of linguistics. Although many scholars consider computational linguistics as one of the research directions in linguistics, we do not see many cases of using computational technology for linguistic (especially for Chinese language) research at present. Therefore, this paper proposes a computational linguistics research paradigm that uses computational techniques for linguistic research, using text readability work as an example. We believe that computational linguistics is no different from other research fields in computational humanities and should work under a unified research paradigm. Computational linguistics as a research method requires a balance between validity and interpretability. This is the positioning of computational linguistics in the framework of "humanities as the core and computation as the tool".
