This paper discusses computational linguistic methods for the semi-automatic analysis of modality interdependencies (the combination of complex resources such as speaking, writing, and visualizing; MID) in professional crosssituational interaction settings. The overall purpose of the approach is to develop models, methods, and a framework for the description and analysis of MID forms and functions. The paper describes work in progress—the development of an annotation framework that allows annotating different data and file formats at various levels, to relate annotation levels and entries independently of the given file format, and to visualize patterns.
Grammatik - explorativ
(2015)
Die am IDS aufgebauten großen Korpora ermöglichen es, vermeintlich freie und aus grammatikographischer Sicht eben dadurch problematische Varianten des Standarddeutschen systematisch in den Untersuchungsfokus zu stellen. Mit spezifischen Techniken und Werkzeugen kann die korpuslinguistische Arbeit dabei eine recht theorieunabhängige Beschreibung einzelner Varianten grammatischer Phänomene leisten und deren Häufigkeit bestimmen; damit stellt sie auch eine transparente quantitativ-statistische Basis für die Validierung von in der einschlägigen Literatur vertretenen Hypothesen bereit. Wie im Beitrag gezeigt werden soll, ist die Auswertung von Korpusdaten beträchtlichen Umfangs mit modernen computerlinguistischen und statistischen Methoden ganz besonders geeignet, grammatische und außersprachliche Faktoren zu identifizieren, deren Interaktion die Wahl zwischen den vermeintlich freien Alternativen bestimmt.
The present thesis introduces KoralQuery, a protocol for the generic representation of queries to linguistic corpora. KoralQuery defines a set of types and operations which serve as abstract representations of linguistic entities and configurations. By combining these types and operations in a nested structure, the protocol may express linguistic structures of arbitrary complexity. It achieves a high degree of neutrality with regard to linguistic theory, as it provides flexible structures that allow for the setting of certain parameters to access several complementing and concurrent sources and layers of annotation on the same textual data. JSON-LD is used as a serialisation format for KoralQuery, which allows for the well-defined and normalised exchange of linguistic queries between query engines to promote their interoperability. The automatic translation of queries issued in any of three supported query languages to such KoralQuery serialisations is the second main contribution of this thesis. By employing the introduced translation module, query engines may also work independently of particular query languages, as their backend technology may rely entirely on the abstract KoralQuery representations of the queries. Thus, query engines may provide support for several query languages at once without any additional overhead. The original idea of a general format for the representation of linguistic queries comes from an initiative called Corpus Query Lingua Franca (CQLF), whose theoretic backbone and practical considerations are outlined in the first part of this thesis. This part also includes a brief survey of three typologically different corpus query languages, thus demonstrating their wide variety of features and defining the minimal target space of linguistic types and operations to be covered by KoralQuery.
The task-oriented and format-driven development of corpus query systems has led to the creation of numerous corpus query languages (QLs) that vary strongly in expressiveness and syntax. This is a severe impediment for the interoperability of corpus analysis systems, which lack a common protocol. In this paper, we present KoralQuery, a JSON-LD based general corpus query protocol, aiming to be independent of particular QLs, tasks and corpus formats. In addition to describing the system of types and operations that Koral- Query is built on, we exemplify the representation of corpus queries in the serialized format and illustrate use cases in the KorAP project.
Learning from Errors. Systematic Analysis of Complex Writing Errors for Improving Writing Technology
(2015)
In this paper, we describe ongoing research on writing errors with the ultimate goal to develop error-preventing editing functions in word-processors. Drawing from the state-of-the-art research in errors carried out in various fields, we propose the application of a general concept for action-slips as introduced by Norman. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach by using a large corpus of writing errors in published texts. The concept of slips considers both the process and the product: some failure in a procedure results in an error in the product, i.e., is visible in the written text. In order to develop preventing functions, we need to determine causes of such visible errors.
