Hi!
My name is Gloria McMillan. I teach computer-assisted writing at
Pima College and I've been using computers to do literary text analysis.
I've wroked about half way through Waite's C Primer Plus, but Jose
Durazo (a student in comp. sci. at U of A) has helped me to install
an Icon compiler on my 386/87 machine here. Jose think Icon would
be much easier to program for SGML tag-finding operations. TEI-SGML
is the mark-up language used by the Oxford text Archive. I have made
a completely-tagged version of Bram Stoker's _Dracula_ (that is, each
speech of each character is tagged and there are tags on the diaries,
journals and letters, as well as chapter divisions, etc.) With this
text to practice on, I have already done one research paper for ENGL
597r, a Grad. Rhetoric course. There are many texts that are being
marked in this fashion--or marked in broad divisions so scholars can
add more fine-tagging. I hope to go on in this area of computer
text analysis. It seems that Icon is a language suited to this
purpose.
Is there an online course in progress for beginners like me?
Or--what more convetnional class might I audit at U of AZ to learn
the rudiments of Icon?
I am a non-tech person with some experience in C, but little else.
Thanks!
Gloria
