Abstract
The Python package and associated app, MLNA (MultiLingual Network Analysis), make multilingual texts
accessible to humanists, addressing the Eurocentrism in humanities research caused by scholars’ limited
knowledge of non-European languages. MLNA processes multilingual texts and visualizes networks of their
entities. By manually assigning entities and adjusting graph features, users can gain an overview of the texts’
contents. This enables researchers to narrow their multilingual text collection to texts with relevant entities or
relationships, which can then be translated for close reading, saving a great amount of time. MLNA empowers
scholars to engage with multilingual text documents, fostering a novel synthesis of close and distant reading, and
contributing to greater inclusivity in text-based humanities research.
