The Routledge Handbook of English Language and Digital Humanities serves as a reference point for key developments related to the ways in which the digital turn has shaped the study of the English language and of how the resulting methodological approaches have permeated other disciplines. It draws on modern linguistics and discourse analysis for its analytical methods and applies these approaches to the exploration and theorisation of issues within the humanities.
Divided into three sections, this handbook covers:
- sources and corpora;
- analytical approaches;
- English language at the interface with other areas of research in the digital humanities.
In covering these areas, more traditional approaches and methodologies in the humanities are recast and research challenges are re-framed through the lens of the digital. The essays in this volume highlight the opportunities for new questions to be asked and long-standing questions to be reconsidered when drawing on the digital in humanities research.
This is a ground-breaking collection of essays offering incisive and essential reading for anyone with an interest in the English language and digital humanities.

Svenja Adolphs is a professor of English Language and Linguistics at the University of Nottingham, UK. Her research interests are in the areas of corpus linguistics (in particular, multimodal spoken corpus linguistics), pragmatics and discourse analysis. She has published widely in these areas, including Introducing Electronic Text Analysis (2006, Routledge), Corpus and Context: Investigating Pragmatics Functions in Spoken Discourse (2008), Introducing Pragmatics in Use (2011, Routledge, with Anne O’Keeffe and Brian Clancy) and Spoken Corpus Linguistics: From Monomodal to Multimodal (2013, Routledge, with Ronald Carter).
Dawn Knight is a reader in Applied Linguistics at Cardiff University. Her research interests lie in the areas of corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, digital interaction, non-verbal communication and the sociolinguistic contexts of communication. The main contribution of her work has been to pioneer the development of a new research area in applied linguistics: multimodal corpus-based discourse analysis. Dawn is the principal investigator on the ESRC/AHRC-funded CorCenCC (Corpws Cenedlaethol Cymraeg Cyfoes – the National Corpus of Contemporary Welsh) project (2016–2020) and is currently the chair of the British Association of Applied Linguistics (BAAL), representing over one thousand applied linguists within the UK (2018–2021).
