El análisis lingüístico en la evolución mundial de los medios de comunicación

The article «L’analisi linguistica nell’evoluzione mondiale dei mezzi di comunicazione» by Fr. Roberto Busa, a pioneer of the Digital Humanities, was originally published in the volume Almanacco Bompiani: Le applicazioni dei calcolatori elettronici alle scienze morali e alla letteratura of 1962. Despite the fact that the text was written in a preliminary phase of such studies, in which the application of informatics to the analysis of languages and literatures still seemed an unattainable dream, the lucid gaze of the Italian Jesuit in our opinion constitutes even today an observation point of interest to assess the evolution and future challenges in the Digital Humanities field. We present here the Spanish translation of the article with the intention of rescuing the words of Fr. Busa and making them available to a broader number of readers
