Philingk is a two-year lead agency project (2021-2023) carried out by the Institute of Romance Studies at the University of Zurich (Prof. Dr. Ursula Bähler) and the Institute of Linguistics at the University of Graz (Prof. Dr. Bernhard Hurch) and is funded by the SNF and FWF. 

The project is located at the interface between the traditional history of philological andlinguistic science and the new possibilities of digital humanities. The focus of the project is on the digital edition of the extensive and previously unpublished correspondence between Gaston Paris (1839-1903) and Hugo Schuchardt (1842-1927) as well as its linking with existing databases (HSA, CorrespSearch). Novel methods of data modeling and research questions aim at representing and bringing to life the polyphonic discourse space which has decisively influenced the formation of knowledge. Thereby, new insights into processes of scientific discussion and differentiation will be made possible. A print edition will be created in addition to the digital edition.
