Abstract:
The article discusses selected projects from the field of digital humanities realised by the Re-research.pl group. The group consists of researchers from the Institute of Linguistics and the Department of Natural Language Processing at Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan ́, Poland. The projects discussed include National Photocorpus of Polish, Discover- mat, Korea, Koreans and ‘Koreanity’ in the digitised Polish press of the 20th century, Biography of the Nation, 100,000 ministories, Gonito.net and 50,000 words. Domain and chronologisation index. However, the main focus of the article is the interdisciplinary popular-scientific blog Re-research.pl. The daily blog posts include texts on a variety of subjects, ranging from linguistics, history and folklore to computer science. Selected posts and categories of posts are discussed, such as chronologisational challenges, texts devoted to folklore and materials on the structure of text files. Apart from providing daily analyses, the blog promotes other projects and serves as a dialogue platform for representatives of various fields.
