Sažetak
The use of quantitative methodology is not a novelty in philological research. The information about the frequency of certain linguistic units or textual patterns and their distribution within a text or corpus has proven to be very useful by many scientists working with text. That information can be a very convincing argument when dealing with various questions which philologists often have to address, such as dating of the text, identifying textual layers, determining the authorship, determining the relation between different texts, composition strategies, etc. Nowadays, by using a digital computer, it is possible to perform not just simple text processing, but also very complex language analyses on all linguistic levels (phonological, morphological, syntactic and semantic), while the required linguistic knowledge is formalized and stored in a computational model. The most common output of such analyses is the annotated text, i.e. text furnished with linguistic annotations that can be easily searched and subdued to statistical and distributional analysis. In this paper we will show some state-of-the-art techniques and tools for natural language processing with a special emphasis on their application in philological research. We will explain how these tools are used on the example of the Indian epic Rāmāyaṇa and also describe how available resources can be used and employed in our own research.
