eupress.ru/books/index/... Is it true that computer poetry has no soul? Will artificial intelligence soon replace human poets? Have we become better at understanding poetry thanks to the ability of artificial intelligence to write it? This book is about poetry written by computers.

New: digital edition of the Commentarii Academiae Scientiarum Imperialis Petropolitanae (1728) — the first journal of the St. Petersburg Academy. Latin texts, TEI P5, open data. 27 articles, 97000 words. CC BY 4.0. github.com/nevmenandr/c... #DigitalEdition #TEI #latin #science #DH

Jakobson's genius was in his knack for building scholarly communities wherever he landed. My article covers how he turned phonology into a universal key for culture and why he studied aphasia. gorky.media/context/stya... #RomanJakobson #structuralism #linguistics #phonology #formalism #poetics

My article on Nikolai Toburokov's contribution to Turkic verse studies is out. Yesterday I finally received the published version of this important text — a milestone for me. PDF: nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #TurkicStudies #VerseStudies #Prosody #TurkicPoetry #YakutLiterature #Philology

Turkic syllabics aren't just isosyllabic. Mining 17,895 Bashkir poems: 10/9-syllable uzun-kyuy & 8/7-syllable kyska-kyuy dominate — and caesura behaves differently inside vs. outside these forms. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #Bashkir #TurkicVerse #Verse #CorpusLinguistics #Metrics #DH

TEI markup of Tolstoy's 90-volume collected works → metadata, social network from 16K names, and Textograph for manuscripts. A Russian DH milestone. PDF: nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #DH #Tolstoy #TEI #RussianLit

Human vs AI poetry: neural net mimics style but lacks global meaning. The "feeling" of sense comes from the reader, not the text. What happens to poetry when machines learn to speak in verse? nm1925.ru/articles/201... #DigitalHumanities #AI #Poetry

Gronas & Orekhov: All future editions will become semantic—texts as linked data, machine-readable, interconnected. Philology meets the semantic web. A DH vision. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #DigitalHumanities #SemanticWeb

Minority languages aren't just preserved online—they're weaponized for status. Communities game Wikipedia with bot-generated articles to climb rankings, turning a knowledge platform into a cultural competition. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #Linguistics #MinorityLanguages #Wikipedia

Icelandic 'search' = one verb (leita) for everything. 'Find' = diverse: finna (central), reka (surprise), uppgötva (discovery), hitta (meeting). Neat typological asymmetry. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #Icelandic #Linguistics #Typology

Yazvitsky's 1812 translation of "The Lay of Igor's Campaign" borrowed from Siryakov (1803), not Shishkov. Orekhov's textual analysis proves it. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #TranslationStudies #Philology

Neural nets trained on Russian poetry reproduce meter, lexicon & sound — but fail at narrative. Generated texts become compressed style models for distant reading. A bridge between close & macro analysis nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #DH #NeuralNetworks #Stylometry #DistantReading #AI #Poetry

Did Zhukovsky's Odyssey have metrical errors or a hidden poetic device? ML clustering links anomalies to "sea" vs "land" cantos, but no local factor predicts them. Read more: nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #DigitalHumanities #Homer #TranslationStudies

Russian poetry + Fisher's test: words attract to meters. Prosody partly explains it; semantics emerge in foot-divided corpora. Folkloristic terms → trochee 3/4 & anapest 3. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #DigitalHumanities #Poetry #RussianLit #CompLing

Graph theory exposes hidden style: Freudenberg = decentralized network, Losev = dense philosophy hub, Meletinskii = uniform academic grid. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #GraphTheory #DigitalHumanities #Linguistics

Searched for accidental palindromes in Russian texts. Found "искать такси", "воду с судов", and more. Naive word-level search beats Manacher for meaningful phrases. Code on GitHub. github.com/nevmenandr/n... #Python #NLP #linguistics #palindromes

Nazirov's diaries: who were they for? From "future reader" to his mother — an intimate moral document of Soviet intellectual life. 🔗 publications.hse.ru/pubs/share/d... #SovietHistory #Diaries #Philology #Nazirov

Russian lit isn't dead in politics—it's a rhetorical weapon. Orekhov maps how Putin quotes Tyutchev, protesters cite Pushkin, and poetry beats prose in power games. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #LitPolitics #Russia #Pushkin

Russian prefixoids in RuNet: super- declines, mega- rises, nano- goes ironic, video-/avia- boom. A linguistic arms race online. Short but dense read. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #Linguistics #Russian #Prefixoids #RuNet #WordFormation

What do naive poets repeat most? Love clichés, folklore, and ONE biblical line. Almost no borrowed classics. Emotion beats meter. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/as... #NaivePoetry #CorpusLinguistics #DigitalHumanities

How to read an archive built for its author alone? Orekhov on Nazirov's manuscripts: handwriting, dating puzzles, attribution traps, and why even "чорт" doesn't mean pre‑1956. Essential for textual scholars. 🔗 cyberleninka.ru/article/n/te... #Textology #Archives #Philology

Batyushkov's madness-era poems = patchwork of Derzhavin + poetic clichés. Corpus data exposes cognitive breakdown via textual reuse. DH meets psychopoetics. 🔗 nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/assets/pdf/34442782.pdf #CorpusLinguistics #DigitalHumanities #Poetics

Naïve poetry (4.9M poems from Stihi.ru) analysed for repeated lines. Top: love clichés & folklore. Almost NO citations from Russian classics. Amateurs borrow from Bible/folklore, not Pushkin. PDF: nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/assets/pdf/strings.pdf #NaïvePoetry #DigitalHumanities #RussianLit #DH

Bashkir Internet (2012) = 27M words, 31% Wikipedia, 55% official/media texts. Top words: forum, clan markers, "direction," "change" (UI-driven). Signal language existence, not communication. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/assets/pdf/dialogue2012.pdf #Bashkir #CorpusLinguistics #DigitalLanguage

Marshak's "Mister Twister": 4 giant porters, & Eastern fairy‑tale motifs structure. Folk elements replace wordplay to deliver anti‑racist didactics. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/assets/pdf/twister_new.pdf #Marshak #SovietLiterature #Folklore #ChildrensLit

Kafka's Josef K. = Alice in Wonderland who forgot to say "you're just cards." The Trial's horror: he never questions the court's authority. That passivity, not the system, dooms him. 📄 nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/assets/pdf/orekhov.pdf #Kafka #Carroll

Kafka's Josef K. = Alice in Wonderland who forgot to say "you're just cards." The Trial's horror: he never questions the court's authority. That passivity, not the system, dooms him. 📄 nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/assets/pdf/orekhov.pdf #Kafka #Carroll

Pushkin's "Stationmaster" hides a blasphemous parody: Minsky's 3-day illness mirrors Christ's death & resurrection. Paper proves Pushkin subverted, not revered, biblical narratives. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/assets/pdf/minsky.pdf #Pushkin #RussianLiterature #BiblicalParody #LiteraryAnalysis

Philology students can't explain why literature matters—just clichés (moral growth, history, intellect). The paper exposes the unreflective "myth of literature" that fails them in modern value systems. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/assets/pdf/axio.pdf #Literature #Philology #Axiology #Education

This paper examines Arabic translations of Tiutchev's poetry: much of the implicit meaning—textual ambiguity, Christian symbolism, Romantic subtext—is lost or distorted. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/assets/pdf/pax_islamica.pdf #Arabic #PoetryTranslation #TranslationStudies

Poem Death of a Philosopher is a mock elegy for postmodernist icons. This paper reveals how it uses meter and allusions to turn a parody into a critique — framing the philosophers' deaths as cosmic justice. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/assets/pdf/judgement.pdf #Postmodernism #Baudrillard #Poetry

The paper examines the phrase "computer analysis" in Russian media. While "computer" is associated with the "virtual", in media texts, "computer analysis" actually functions as a marker of authority and truth. nevmenandr.github.io/portfolio/assets/pdf/compana.pdf #MediaStudies #Rhetoric

This paper argues that Tiutchev’s 1851 translation of Schiller’s Das Siegesfest, triggered by Odyssey translation and the European revolutions. sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304347908000574 #Schiller #19thCentury #RussianLiterature #TranslationStudies #Tiutchev #Odyssey
