One main scope of hylistics is the study of narrative materials, such as myths (→ LINK def myth): Hylistics helps to define, reconstruct, analyse, and compare narrative materials.

At the core of hylistic theory and methodology are the following observations:

• Narrative materials exist in a transmedial way, i.e. it can be used in different media.
• Narrative materials are characterised by sequences of events that imply change.

This presents the following challenges:

• How can narrative materials as transmedial phenomena be analysed, if they are to be reconstructed from their media concretisations?
• How can changes be described scientifically?

The Deutsches Wörterbuch (DWB) is the largest and most comprehensive dictionary of the German language with word meanings and references. The DWB was started by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in 1838, and finished in 1961, after 123 years. A total of 32 volumes were produced. The revision began at the same time as the work on the first edition was completed. An online version of the DWB (Der Digitale Grimm) has been accessible since June 2002.
