Abstract
This contribution illustrates methods and tools to study the diacronic change of the research interests of the TEI community through the use of methods of automatic extraction of terminology from corporate domain.

Introduction
This contribution stems from the intent to study with methods of distant reading jTEI: the Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative (https://journals.openedition.org/jtei), because it is a magazine that represents an interesting bridge between the community of Digital Humanities and the community of Computational Linguistics. As indicated by Schreibman (2011), jTEI was born in 2011 after three years of gestation with the intention of publishing selected papers of annual conferences (volumes 1-2, 4, 6, 8-10) and monothematic issues on topics of relevance to the TEI community (volume 3 dedicated to linguistics and volume 5 dedicated to infrastructure). Schreibman (2014) also states that Volume 7, the first fruit of an open call, touches "contemporary meta concerns within the community" . A piece of the Digital Humanities sector is detected in this study through the diacronic analysis of terms extracted from the articles published in jTEI from 2011 to 2019. The aim is to identify mono- and polyrematic terms typical of the domain, a spy of the thematic orientation of the research activities of the TEI community. Today the study of communities is becoming central in order to understand and interpret for the various domains the scientific direction as well as the genre, the stakeholders and the possible connections between communities. Just to give an example, from reading the indices of the extraction of jTEI Corpus, the scientific community that revolves around TEI seems not to want to use the noun computer and the adjective computational, preferring instead to use the adjective digital combined with a myriad of nouns (such as for example. editions, humanities, text, resources, age, archive, objects, specimen, library, tools) in line with the uses of the wider Digital Humanities community, but not Computational Linguistics.

Conclusion
Recovering a sample of the trend of research activities of a particular scientific sector, such as those of Digital Humanities through jTEI, can be stimulating to understand the areas investigated by the various authors over a period of ten years. In particular, the willingness to capture open access articles today creates opportunities for the analysis of scientific communities that in the past was not conceivable. The work carried out represents an initial experience of information recovery and analysis to study the trend of the scientific community of Digital Humanities through a magazine dedicated to it, the jTEI. We also think that it is essential to expand our sources with other types of reference: such as blogs, forums, national and international conference acts and magazines. In the analysis, a look will also be directed to authors to understand connections and extraneousness between computational linguistics and Digital Humanities.
