Hacia un análisis de la obra de Richard Wagner a través de la lingüística computacional

Abstract

El presente artículo busca explorar la relación entre música y lingüística. Para ello, analiza una parte importante de la obra wagneriana, utilizando algunas herramientas de la lingüística computacional. Para este fin, se ha constituido un corpus de libretos con obras pertenecientes a Richard Wagner y se ha empleado una metodología basada en la lingüística de corpus. Nuestro objetivo es analizar los textos wagnerianos y encontrar la relación entre música y lingüística desde una perspectiva ligada a los Leitmotive del autor alemán, observando, de esta manera, el comportamiento de una obra lírica desde el punto de vista lingüístico.

Digital Humanities, Corpus and Language Technology: A look from diverse case studies

“…29-30). This discipline is framed within Applied Linguistics (Moreno Sandoval, 1998;Tordera Yllescas, 2011, Molina Mejía, 2021 and, following the opinion of several authors (Sáiz Noeda, 2002;Tordera Yllescas, 2011), it will be considered in this chapter as a synonym of NLP (Natural Language Processing).…”

“…From practical approaches that include all types of computer language processing (Mitkov, 2004, p.15), to more theoretical points of view, which focus on how the simulation of linguistic capacity helps to understand linguistic behaviour of natural languages (Tordera Yllescas, 2011). Considering, in addition, the use or creation of computational models or tools that allow the computational processing of natural languages, which should permit, a fortiori, that the language itself can serve as an input for scientific research and/or formulation of programs that can be applied in life, in society in general, thanks to the analysis of linguistic corpora in context (Molina Mejía, 2021).…”

“…One of the most notorious aspects in the research and study of current Linguistics is the use of textual corpora for various purposes, for example: grammatical analysis (Parodi, 2010;Biber & Finegan, 2014;Jones & Waller, 2015), anaphora resolution (Mitkov, 2014;Poesio, Stuckardt & Versley, 2016;Grajales Ramírez & Molina Mejía, 2019), statistical analysis by means of corpora (Beaudouin, 2016;Brezina, 2018;Wallis, 2021), etc. On the other hand, it is possible to observe the way in which a strong relationship has been established with Computational Linguistics (Mitkov, 2004;Wilks, 2010;Molina Mejía, 2021), precisely for the processing, handling, and interpretation of required amounts of data (Zeroual & Lakhouaja, 2018). Within this scenario, written texts play a prominent role, since they lend themselves to computational processes more easily than other forms of language use (Baquero Velásquez, 2010;Parodi, 2010).…”

“…The aforementioned process acquires importance when considering the purposes pursued by Corpus Linguistics, because it permits computers to process information to which they would not otherwise have access. In this sense, software products have also been built that, based on different systems of rules or artificial intelligence, can automatically perform, with a high degree of success, common forms of tagging in different languages, generally the most widely spoken ones such as Spanish, English, French, German, among others (Molina Mejía, 2021).…”

La Música en Auschwitz; El Sonido del Holocausto

“…El libreto fue escrito por el propio compositor. Es la ópera más larga de Wagner, dura unas cuatro horas y media, sin contar intermedios (Mejía, 2019).…”
