The CLiC web app has been officially relaunched at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, marking an important step in advancing digital approaches to literary and linguistic analysis.
Originally the CLiC web app has been developed as part of the CLiC Dickens project, designed specifically for the analysis of literary texts. CLiC Dickens started at the University of Nottingham in 2013, later continued as a collaborative project with the University of Birmingham, CLiC has now been relaunched at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, where its development and application continue within DHSS.
What is CLiC?
CLiC enables users to analyse literary texts with a focus on patterns in language use, including:
- Characterisation and speech representation
- Keywords and concordances
- Narrative structure and stylistic features
The platform is designed for both researchers and students, making computational text analysis more accessible within the digital humanities.
