Abstract

In this essay, we describe early experiments in a computational folkloristics project FILTER aimed at studying formulaic intertextuality, thematic networks and poetic variation across regional cultures of Finnic oral poetry. Due to the vast amount of linguistic and poetic variation and historical biases in the corpora, existing automated approaches are unusable. Instead, advances must be made through intelligently interleaving computational and manual analysis.
