“…An inductive approach to the MLG grammar as aspired to in this study is possible due to digital corpora such as the Reference Corpus Middle Low German/Low Rhenish (ReN). The ReN is structured using the parameters language area , time , and genre (Barteld et al 2017, Peters 2017); it is also rather large compared to other historical corpora, containing about 2.3 million tokens, about 1.4 million of which are grammatically annotated with respect to part of speech, inflectional morphology, and lemma 12 . In ANNIS (Krause & Zeldes 2016), the ReN is divided into two subcorpora— ren-anno that contains all grammatically annotated texts and ren-trans that contains all the texts that are transcribed but not annotated.…”

A comprehensive description of the combination of the finite auxiliary verbs wērden ‘become’/wēsen ‘be’ and a present participle in Middle Low German is still a strong desideratum. This study presents a corpus-based analysis of the aforementioned phenomenon with a special focus on its grammatical structure and its different meanings. In particular, it focuses on a wide range of temporal and aspectual meanings, depending on the auxiliary verb, its tense and mood. Moreover, the relationship between the semantics of the main verb and the meaning of the whole construction is investigated. Finally, the competition with alternative verbal complex constructions expressing the same meaning is also explored. The analysis is carried out on the basis of Middle Low German texts from different times, language areas, and genres.

Improving Lemmatization of Non-Standard Languages with Joint Learning

Lemmatization of standard languages is concerned with (i) abstracting over morphological differences and (ii) resolving token-lemma ambiguities of inflected words in order to map them to a dictionary headword. In the present paper we aim to improve lemmatization performance on a set of non-standard historical languages in which the difficulty is increased by an additional aspect (iii): spelling variation due to lacking orthographic standards. We approach lemmatization as a stringtransduction task with an encoder-decoder architecture which we enrich with sentence context information using a hierarchical sentence encoder. We show significant improvements over the state-of-the-art when training the sentence encoder jointly for lemmatization and language modeling. Crucially, our architecture does not require POS or morphological annotations, which are not always available for historical corpora. Additionally, we also test the proposed model on a set of typologically diverse standard languages showing results on par or better than a model without enhanced sentence representations and previous state-of-the-art systems. Finally, to encourage future work on processing of non-standard varieties, we release the dataset of non-standard languages underlying the present study, based on openly accessible sources.

Complexity as L2-difficulty: Implications for syntactic change

Recent work has cast doubt on the idea that all languages are equally complex; however, the notion of syntactic complexity remains underexplored. Taking complexity to equate to difficulty of acquisition for late L2 acquirers, we propose an operationalization of syntactic complexity in terms of uninterpretable features. Trudgill’s sociolinguistic typology predicts that sociohistorical situations involving substantial late L2 acquisition should be conducive to simplification, i.e. loss of such features. We sketch a programme for investigating this prediction. In particular, we suggest that the loss of bipartite negation in the history of Low German and other languages indicates that it may be on the right track.
