This paper shows how corpora and related tools can be used to analyse and present significant colligational patterns lexicographically. In German, patterns such as das nötige Wissen vermitteln and sein Wissen unter Beweis stellen play a vital role when learning the language, as they exhibit relevant idiomatic usage and lexical and syntactic rules of combination. Each item has specific semantic and grammatical functions and particular preferences with respect to position and distribution. An analysis of adjectives, for example, identifies preferences in adverbial, attributive, or predicative functions.
Traditionally, corpus analyses of syntagmatic constructions have not been conducted for lexicographic purposes. This paper shows how to utilise corpora to extract and examine typical syntagms and how the results of such an analysis are documented systematically in ELEXIKO, a large-scale corpus-based Internet reference work of German. It also demonstrates how this dictionary accounts for the lexical and grammatical interplay between units in a syntagm and how authentic corpus material and complementary prose-style usage notes are a useful guide to text production or reception.
Contextual lexical relations, such as sense relations, have traditionally played an essential role in disambiguating word senses in lexicography, as they offer insights into the meaning and use of a word. However, the description of paradigmatic relations in particular is often restricted to a few types such as synonymy and antonymy. The limited description of various types of relations and the method of presenting these relations in existing German dictionaries are often problematic.
Elexiko, the first German hypertext dictionary compiled exclusively on the basis of an electronic corpus, offers a new way of presenting sense relations, using a variety of approaches to extract the necessary data. In this paper, I will show how elexiko presents a differentiated system of paradigmatic relations including synonymy, various subtypes of incompatibility (such as antonymy, complementarity, converseness, reversiveness, etc.), and vertical structures (such as hyponymy and meronymy). Primary attention, however, will focus on the question of how data for a paradigmatic description is retrieved from the corpus. Whereas a corpus-driven approach is mainly used for various semantic information and a corpus-based method plays an important part in obtaining data for the grammatical description in elexiko, it will be argued that both the corpus-driven and the corpus-based approach can be complementary methods in gaining insights into sense relations. I will demonstrate which results can be obtained by each approach, and advantages and disadvantages of both procedures will be explored in more detail.
As sense relations are context-dependent, it will also be demonstrated how a sense-bound presentation can be realised in an electronic reference work including a system of cross-referencing that illustrates lexical structures and the interrelatedness of words within the lexicon. Finally, I will show how accompanying examples from the corpus and additional lexicographic information help the user to understand contextual restrictions, so that s/he is able to use dictionary information more effectively.
Ausdrücke wie Globalisierung und Wirtschaftskrise sind Teil unserer öffentlichen Alltagssprache. Sie stehen für politische und soziokulturell brisante Debatten und ihre semantische Analyse zeigt den engen Zusammenhang zwischen Sprache und Gesellschaft. Der alltägliche Gebrauch solcher Ausdrücke etabliert gemeingesellschaftliche Diskurse, die mit korpuslinguistischen Verfahren analysierbar sind. In diesem Beitrag wird der Diskurs der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise in der öffentlichen Sprache von Zeitungstexten betrachtet. Zentrales Diskursobjekt ist der lexikalische Ausdruck Wirtschaftskrise selbst. Die Ermittlung relevanter Kontextbeziehungen, wie sie in Kollokationen vorhanden sind, und regelhafter Verwendungsmuster spielt für seine Beschreibung die wichtigste Rolle, da diese Indikatoren zum einen typische Thematisierungen sind und zum anderen Lexikalisierungen mit Bewertungspotenzial darstellen. Abschließend erfolgt eine kurze kritische Betrachtung der Dokumentation diskurs-relevanter Ausdrücke in deutschen Wörterbüchern der Gegenwartssprache.
