	The present article discusses the use of the natural language processing method in digital history, as exemplified by the pre-EU referendum debate on the Facebook portal. Using born digi- tal sources, the author analyzed collocations, n-grams, and word frequency. Computer methods allowed the author to determine the dominant subjects in the referendum debate and the vocabulary used, and subsequently evaluate the methods used in the analysis. Finally, the author discusses the potential for further use of these methods in digital history, pointing out that they must be used cautiously, and also explaining the technical details of using them, which can affect subsequent interpretation of the obtained results.
