CONCLUSION REFERENCES METHODOLOGY PRELIMINARY FINDINGS BACKGROUND TOWARDS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A CORPUS OF NEW MEDIA DISCOURSE : EXPLORING METHODS AND TOOLS IN DIGITAL HUMANITIES Tunde Opeibi University of Lagos 7TH EUROPEAN SUMMER UNIVERSITY IN DIGITAL HUMANITIES, UNIVERSITY OF LEIPZIG, GERMANY, July 19-29, 2016 BACKGROUND CONCLUSION Digital Humanities explores the application of new technologies and computer methods to describe and analyse humanistic data. This approach has transformed both research methods and research outcomes in the humanities. Computer technologies and digital tools have enhanced the methods and quality of Corpus Construction. This present study applies computer methodologies to harvest English-based online discourses in Nigeria from social media and other web-based platforms. The utilisation of corpus and web-based tools enhances the compilation, annotation and dissemination of the corpus and the research outcomes. Digital Humanities Research Unit (DIHRU) is a pioneering DH research centre in Nigeria. It aims to engage in DH-related research projects and activities. The current corpus construction project (on politics and governance discourse text) is now at the data mining stage. A User Interface Web platform is being created (www.connmde.com) Other online discourse genres will be incorporated in due course . REFERENCES THEORETICAL ISSUES The research uses suggestions from existing studies in Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) and Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis (CMDA) to explore patterns of meaning and interactions in online political discourse data. Corpus Analytical Tools & Computer Software are utilised in data harvesting and online monitoring of political discursive activities in Nigeria (Baker, 2006; Opeibi, 2015a) The project attempts a digitisation of online discourses (e.g. politics) in Nigeria. It seeks to archive these discourses and make them available to local and global audiences for policy and research purposes. Baker, P. (2006). Using Corpora in discourse analysis.

Gottingen: Cuvillier Verlag. 209-231 Home page of the Corpus Project –www.connmde.com METHODOLOGY Sources & Types of Data Internet, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Online Portals of National Newspapers, Webpages of Political Parties and Candidates. Digital Tools & Computer software deployed: E.g. SketchEngine, Keyhole, Topsy, AntConc. The Project: Corpus of Nigeria New Media Discourse in English (CONNMDE)-www.connmde.com(on going research project). The data is divided into 4 broad sub-genres of political text: (i) Civic Engagement, (ii) Campaigns text, (iii) Governance/Public Policy, (iv) Public Discourse on Politics PRELIMINARY FINDINGS The research has harvested and archived over 1 million word-tokens from key online campaign texts, comments, Facebook & Twitter posts and other virtual texts on Nigerian politics and democracy between 2011 and 2015. The study finds that more citizens within and outside Nigeria are now able to participate in Nigerian politics through web-based platforms. Digital Media now promote credible electoral process, transparency, accountability, and participation. These new technologies now demonstrate the potential to transform the public sphere and national political narratives; and to improve political campaigns and enhance the growth of strong democracy in Nigeria.
