This is a really thoughtful exploration of digital text analysis! It’s great to see how Voyant helped shape your research questions, even without prior familiarity with The Analects. Your reflections on distant vs. close reading are insightful. I really like your work overall!
Hi, Eliza. I really like your project. Editing the “stopwords” list in Voyant is a great choice that makes the subsequent analysis much clearer and more intuitive. Your project’s clear structure, consistent style, and logical organization make it easy to follow and understand. I agree that digital text analysis allows us to address questions in ways that traditional close reading cannot, and I truly believe it holds significant promise for Digital Humanities.
