摘要：This article discusses the concept of reading and presents a method that combines distant and close reading, while drawing on insights from computational humanities. Focusing on basic features in language, distant reading allows for the construction of new types of text. By close reading these texts, it is possible to analyse cultural patterns across individual texts. This method of reading is illustrated by two cases stemming from a project based on a corpus of 11,955 Danish sermons. The first case begins with a distant reading of gendered pronouns in the corpus. The second case begins with a distant reading of named agents.
