 The third day of the conference was mainly dedicated to the methods of the visualization of the Republic of Letters and there were presented works of Working Group 3 and 6. Thomas Wallning from Austria presented the results of a three years’ work by team of researchers, who studied early modern correspondence. They analysed the vocabulary of letters, neologisms, regionalisms, the length of sentences, and the grammatical rules. They attempted to find answers to the following questions: how did the Latin language inform the writers about scholar-monks, and how the European languages were Latinized. The third day of the conference was mainly dedicated to the methods of the visualization of the Republic of Letters and there were presented works of Working Group 3 and 6.

 Karen Hollewand delivered a very interesting presentation entitled “Keywords, text and Beverland”. The researcher demonstrated the role of keywords in the process of selecting data, and in the analysis of correspondence. Keywords help to show the specific vocabulary of the author and the limited sphere, in which they are used. They help us to understand and identify the specific language and style of the author. Karen Hollewand delivered a very interesting presentation entitled “Keywords, text and Beverland”.
