Course content
|
Building of corpora involves, apart from the necessary philological knowledge, several stages and areas of technical nature, which will be gradually covered by the course: (1) Format: character coding (ASCII, ANSI and Unicode) and data formats (structured - XML vs. unstructured, the so-called plain text ".txt"). (2) Annotations (= metadata): external vs. internal: structural-content based and linguistic. (3) Tools: preparation and processing (integration into the corpus manager); corpus and data mining (query language, annotations). Freely available software tools will be used (freeware, GNU GPL or Open Source projects). (4) Possibilities of automating of data processing (segmentation: tokenization and the vertical bar; format conversion, etc.). (5) Methodological standpoint: consistent differentiation between data vs. meta-data. (6) Possibilities and types of annotations (technical, structural, linguistic). (7) Specifics of data - its gathering and processing (written vs. spoken form). Practical exercises (1) Building of students' own corpora: preparation of data: coding, "cleaning" of text, conversion ? .txt format (plain text) tokenization and verticalization of text (by use of software applications) linguistic annotation of text ? lemmatisation, tag set creation data structuring ? tagging of text: simple XML format finalization of corpora and its storing in the Bonito corpus manager (2) Work with linguistic data in various corpus applications GPL software (off-line) and web interface (on-line)
