Limbajul credinței în lumina metodelor computaționale
The Language of Faith in the Light of Computational Methods

Summary/Abstract: The study proposes a computational reading of Orthodox religious discourse during the communist regime, analysing how the language of faith was adapted, encoded and maintained in a restrictive ideological context. Based on a corpus of pastoral texts published in the magazine Mitropolia Moldovei și Sucevei during 1948-1989, our research combines traditional linguistic analysis with automatic language processing tools, by means of the Orange Data Mining platform. Through techniques such as frequency analysis, lexical viewing and topic modelling, prevailing topics are identified, such as divinity, resurrection, peace, light, unity, which reveal both teological continuity and subtle forms of discourse adaptation to the ideological vocabulary of the regime.
