“…The historical journal Die Grenzboten was the first full text transferred from the SuUB to CLARIN (Geyken et al, 2018). Die Grenzboten is a long running serial publication which can be classified as a literary journal that also covers politics and arts.…”

Based on the example of the State and University Library Bremen (SuUB) we will outline in this paper, how academic libraries with digitization activities (hereinafter referred to as digitizing libraries) could establish even closer ties to CLARIN in the future. After describing SuUB's past and current CLARIN-related activities (especially full-text transfers to a CLARIN-D centre) we suggest that this collaboration could be expanded by providing advice and training for researchers of the Digital Humanities as potential CLARIN users. Equally important from our point of view is the discussion about future structural options on the level of research infrastructures. We suggest a collaboration between digitizing libraries to jointly agree upon standards of data quality, file formats, interfaces and web services. We discuss the foundation of local CLARIN contact points to pass scholars and researchers on to the respective contact or service of CLARIN. The relevance to CLARIN activities, resources, tools or services is described at the end of each respective section. From the conclusions, the reader will notice: It is the right time for change.

“…For general English (GE), we use the Corpus of Late Modern English Texts (CLMET; Diller et al, 2011), spanning 1710−1920 with approximately 40 million tokens from several genres (e.g., narrative, drama). For German, texts from 1650−1900 are retrieved from the scientific (SG) and general language (GG) subcorpora of Deutsches Textarchiv (DTA, Geyken et al, 2018) respectively. Scientific German is represented with approximately 80 million tokens, general German with approximately 60 million tokens including non-fictional as well as fictional prose texts.…”

Relativizers as markers of grammatical complexity: A diachronic, cross-register study of English and German

In this paper, we investigate grammatical complexity as a register feature of scientific English and German. Specifically, we carry out a diachronic comparison between general and scientific discourse in the two languages from the 17th to the 19th century, using relativizers as proxies for grammatical complexity. We ground our study in register theory (Halliday and Hasan, 1985), assuming that language use reflects contextual factors, which contribute to the formation of registers (Quirk et al., 1985; Biber et al., 1999; Teich et al., 2016). Our findings show a clear tendency towards grammatical simplification in scientific discourse in both languages with English spearheading the trend early on and German following later.

“…The four super-level categories for written language are taken from the DTA (Deutsches Textarchiv) (Geyken et al, 2011): Wissenschaft (science), Belletristik (literature), Zeitung (press) and Gebrauchstext (operative text). We add a Gesprochen (spoken) variety to also test our model on a different medium of communication.…”

Modeling Communicative Purpose with Functional Style: Corpus and Features for German Genre and Register Analysis

While there is wide acknowledgement in NLP of the utility of document characterization by genre, it is quite difficult to determine a definitive set of features or even a comprehensive list of genres. This paper addresses both issues. First, with prototype semantics, we develop a hierarchical taxonomy of discourse functions. We implement the taxonomy by developing a new text genre corpus of contemporary German to perform a text based comparative register analysis. Second, we extract a host of style features, both deep and shallow, aiming beyond linguistically motivated features at situational correlates in texts. The feature sets are used for supervised text genre classification, on which our models achieve high accuracy. The combination of the corpus typology and feature sets allows us to characterize types of communicative purpose in a comparative setup, by qualitative interpretation of style feature loadings of a regularized discriminant analysis. Finally, to determine the dependence of genre on topics (which are arguably the distinguishing factor of sub-genre), we compare and combine our style models with Latent Dirichlet Allocation features across different corpus settings with unstable topics.
