ENERGEIA. ONLINE JOURNAL FOR LINGUISTICS, LANGUAGE PHILOSOPHY AND HISTORY OF LINGUISTICS

Thematic focus: New methods in linguistics – Epistemological and theoretical issues

Linguistics is currently undergoing important changes, driven mainly by substantial methodological progress, which, in turn, opens new paths to rethink the foundations of the discipline. Experimental methods have become standard in linguistic research, eye-tracking and EEG studies shed new light on language processing, and big data, quantitative methods and AI allow for simulations and projections that were completely unthinkable until very recent times. Tools such as R are now an integral part of linguistic data analysis and visualization.
