Exploring the Communication Path of Modern and Contemporary Literary Works Based on Corpus Analysis in the Perspective of Digital Humanities

Abstract

This paper adopts corpus, named entity extraction and word frequency statistics and other corpus analysis methods, combining quantitative analysis with qualitative analysis, to organize the international award-winning works and comments of past, present and contemporary literature to form a corpus. Then, using relevant analysis software, the information about word frequency, subject words, and collocations is counted to obtain the characteristics of literary phrases and their dissemination paths. Through the sorting of literary communication paths and the realistic investigation of the current netizens’ acceptance of literature, the shift of the current literary communication paths has been verified. The results show that among the top 30 high-frequency keywords, “international”, “Internet”, “mobile text”, “digitalization”, etc. appear. With word frequency values of 0.059, 0.048, 0.035, and 0.020, respectively. In different age situations, the choice of the path of literary acceptance has a big difference. 72.4% of the 30-to-40-year-old group chose the cell phone text path. While the difference in economic conditions is not obvious, the percentage of cell phone paths for different education levels is more than 65%.
