1. Introduction

di-lemmata offers more than the usual digital presentation of literary texts. It enables greater in-depth analysis of the texts and gives researchers the opportunity to direct the pattern and direction of their enquiry on an individual basis.

The principal parts of the program are:

• texts easily accessible to linguistic analysis
• lemmatised word lists
• a flexible concordance utility package
• comparison of word lists

di-lemmata opens completely new possibilities for computer-assisted text analysis. It is a set of complex tools and utilities for exploring literary texts, regardless of whether the users' interests are of a personal or professional nature. It can provide them with extensive, verifiable results. di-lemmata is a comprehensive utility package: the program supplies the data, the conclusions based on the meaning and interpretation of the texts is, naturally, the responsibility of the user; perhaps the information resulting from the program leads to further research and a deeper understanding and enjoyment of the material under study.
