本文研究了人文和社会科学博士论文集首页中印刷变化的潜在意义。一些页面会考虑到语言内容，但主要关注的是字体选择、显着性和布局等印刷资源。研究发现，印刷选择的性质与学科方向之间存在很强的关联。具体而言，较为显着的符号学资源很可能与面向“新人文”的论文相关，即采用更主观的研究方法。
This paper examines the potential significance of typographic variation in the front pages of a corpus of Humanities and Social Sciences doctoral theses. Some account is taken of the linguistic content of these pages, but the primary focus is on typographic resources such as font choice, salience, and layout. It is found that there is a strong association between the nature of the typographic choices and the disciplinary orientation. Specifically, the more marked semiotic resources are likely to be associated with theses which are oriented towards the “New Humanities”, that is, adopting a more subjective approach to research.
