Raziskovanje muzikološkega diskurza: preliminarna metaanaliza slovenskih znanstvenih člankov

This study conducts an exploratory corpus-linguistic meta-analysis in order to determine some prevailing trends in musicological literature published across four prominent Slovenian academic journals. The research aims to provide a dataset and resource for an exploratory analysis of the dominant themes, linguistic patterns, and shifts in scholarly focus over time by compiling a corpus of musicological articles. Combining corpus linguistics with meta-analytic approaches enables a systematic examination of extensive textual data, providing quantitative insights into the evolution of musicological discourse in Slovenia. The findings illuminate thematic and methodological developments within the field, offering valuable perspectives for researchers and educators interested in the progression of musicological studies nationally and internationally. In addition, this approach presupposes that the resource (corpus) will be openly available to other researchers interested in such interdisciplinary efforts, with open access being one of the main tenets of digital humanities.
