Can we go further?

Do you think that, from the perspective of text analysis, it is still possible to go further?

I would approach this question from two perspectives.

First, it is certainly worth questioning whether we can still gain new insights using standard analyses (text structure, entropy, etc.). Here, I see the real task as putting the existing (scant) findings into context and determining what can actually be considered established textual properties and what cannot. Given the multitude of different approaches, which essentially boil down to a few reliable statements, this is no easy undertaking.

On the other hand, it is still possible that a new, groundbreaking hypothesis will be put forward, opening up a completely new approach to text analysis. In my opinion, this is not a question of the available means (including AI) for analysis, but rather depends on how the existing tools are used. Everything hinges on the initial research question.
