From Old News to New Tools
Abstract
We introduce a language model designed to help researchers navigate the contextual and temporal domains of Danish and Norwegian newspaper sources until the end of absolutism in Denmark (1849). Newspapers dealt with a broad range of topics, but often presented these in a somewhat limited number of highly codified formats, many of which were specific to the period. The model is tested both qualitatively and quantitatively, with a special focus on identifying the boundaries of its domains.
