DESCRIPTION:The main purpose of this seminar is to demonstrate the power o
 f research methods being developed at Lancaster University which apply com
 puter linguistic analyses to scientific (and other) texts made available v
 ia Early English Books Online. The seminar will focus on early modern Engl
 ish discourses of experiment. I will argue that these methods have refuted
  the claim of Prof. Peter Harrison (_Intellectual History_\, 2011: doi: 10
 .1080/17496977.2011.623882) that discourse of 'experimental philosophy' wa
 s facilitated by an earlier discourse of 'experimental religion'.
