Big data technologies in modern philological studies within the SHIVA and warmi Era

Abstract

The current stage of development of world science is characterized by an unprecedented complication of the information environment, acceleration of the pace of knowledge generation, digitalization of scientific activity and qualitative change of principles of information processing [1]. After all, if a few decades ago philology mainly relied on qualitative analysis of limited arrays of texts, today the object of research is multimillion-dollar collections of digital documents, electronic libraries, archives, media content, social networks, Internet communication and multimodal language data. Such comprehensive changes in information provision necessitate the adaptive implementation of a complex of Big Data technologies, which allow adaptively performing analysis and analytics of processes at a qualitatively higher level of scale, accuracy, efficiency and objectivity [2].The development of Digital Humanities, computational linguistics, corpus philology, intelligent text analysis and artificial intelligence is gradually transforming traditional research approaches. Instead of studying individual works or limited language samples, the researcher gets the opportunity to analyze millions of texts of different genres, eras, languages, and communicative situations, revealing patterns that were previously inaccessible to classical methods of philological analysis. In the conditions of Big Data technology, it becomes not just a tool for automating scientific work, but one of the fundamental factors in the methodological transformation of modern philology. Such processes become particularly relevant in the conditions of the formation of a new global model of social development, which is increasingly characterized through the concepts of SHIVA and WARMI worlds. These concepts reflect qualitatively different, but interconnected characteristics of the modern global space. SHIVA world symbolizes a state of high uncertainty, nonlinearity, rapid technological change, the destruction of established models of the functioning of social systems, the constant emergence of new information flows and digital ecosystems. At the same time, the concept of the WARMI world emphasizes the growing role of sustainability, adaptability, interdisciplinary integration, intellectual collaboration, human-centeredness and harmonization of interaction between technologies and society. It is the combination of high turbulence of the SHIVA environment and the need to form sustainable WARMI research practices that determines the modern requirements for the development of the humanities. For philology, such a transformation means the need to transition from mainly local research to the analysis of global language processes, which are on the scale of the global information space. Digital traces of human communication daily form colossal volumes of textual information, covering fiction, scientific publications, mass media, Internet communication, social networks, digital archives, multimedia resources and various forms of digital discourse. Processing such data sets is impossible exclusively by traditional methods of philological analysis, which determines the growing importance of Big Data technologies. Therefore, taking into account the above, the author argues that the main purpose of this article is to study the features of the application of Big Data technologies in modern philology, determine their role in the conditions of the SHIVA and WARMI worlds, and identify the main directions of transformation of philological research under the influence of digital technologies.
