The Manatee corpus management system on which the Sketch Engine is built is efficient, but unable to harness the power of today’s multiprocessor machines. We describe a new, compatible implementation of Manatee which we develop in the Go language and report on the performance gains that we obtained.
Our paper describes an experiment aimed to assessment of lexical coverage in web corpora in comparison with the traditional ones for two closely related Slavic languages from the lexicographers’ perspective. The preliminary results show that web corpora should not be considered ― inferior, but rather ― different.
CMC Corpora in DeReKo
(2017)
We introduce three types of corpora of computer-mediated communication that have recently been compiled at the Institute for the German Language or curated from an external project and included in DeReKo, the German Reference Corpus, namely Wikipedia (discussion) corpora, the Usenet news corpus, and the Dortmund Chat Corpus. The data and corpora have been converted to I5, the TEI customization to represent texts in DeReKo, and are researchable via the web-based IDS corpus research interfaces and in the case of Wikipedia and chat also downloadable from the IDS repository and download server, respectively.
Creating CorCenCC (Corpws Cenedlaethol Cymraeg Cyfoes - The National Corpus of Contemporary Welsh)
(2017)
CorCenCC is an interdisciplinary and multiinstitutional project that is creating a large-scale, open-source corpus of contemporary Welsh. CorCenCC will be the first ever large-scale corpus to represent spoken, written and electronicallymediated Welsh (compiling an initial data set of 10 million Welsh words), with a functional design informed, from the outset, by representatives of all anticipated academic and community user groups.
This paper outlines the broad research context and rationale for a new international comparable corpus (ICC). The ICC is to be largely modelled on the text categories and their quantities the International Corpus of English with only a few changes. The corpus will initially begin with nine European languages but others may join in due course. The paper reports on those and other agreements made at the inaugural planning meeting in Prague on 22-23 June 2017. It also sets out the project’s goals for its first two years.
Many (modernist) works of literature can be understood by their associativeness, be it constructed or “free”. This network-like character of (modernist) literature has often been addressed by terms like “free association”, connotation”, “context” or “intertext”. This paper proposes an experimental and exemplary approach to intraconnect a literary corpus of the Austrian writer Ilse Aichinger with semantic web-technologies to enable interactive explorations of word-associations.
Corpus researchers, along with many other disciplines in science are being put under continual pressure to show accountability and reproducibility in their work. This is unsurprisingly difficult when the researcher is faced with a wide array of methods and tools through which to do their work; simply tracking the operations done can be problematic, especially when toolchains are often configured by the developers, but left largely as a black box to the user. Here we present a scheme for encoding this ‘meta data’ inside the corpus files themselves in a structured data format, along with a proof-of-concept tool to record the operations performed on a file.
This article describes a series of ongoing efforts at the Stanford Literary Lab to manage a large collection of literary corpora (~40 billion words). This work is marked by a tension between two competing requirements – the corpora need to be merged together into higher-order collections that can be analyzed as units; but, at the same time, it’s also necessary to preserve granular access to the original metadata and relational organization of each individual corpus. We describe a set of data management practices that try to accommodate both of these requirements – Apache Spark is used to index data as Parquet tables on an HPC cluster at Stanford. Crucially, the approach distinguishes between what we call “canonical” and “combined” corpora, a variation on the well-established notion of a “virtual corpus” (Kupietz et al., 2014; Jakubíek et al., 2014; van Uytvanck, 2010).
