Manuscriptology and Digital Humanities - Lecture Series - (Co-organized with Otani University Collection Buddhist Manuscript Research Project, Shin Buddhist Comprehensive Research Institute, Otani University, Kyoto)

 

In this talk I will discuss what quantitative methods can reveal about the chronology of the Vedic corpus. Starting with a discussion of non-chronological influence factors and methods for detecting them, the presentation moves forward to a Bayesian approach that derives a chronological structural from the development of linguistic features. In addition, I will sketch how recent advances in Natural Language Processing can be applied to this question.
