“…In the lexical decision task, a string of letters was shown on screen and the participant was instructed to tap the correct button (labeled "WORD" or "NOT A WORD") as quickly as possible. We selected ten words from a list of the 5000 most frequent German words (Perkuhn et al, 2009), and generated ten pseudowords using Wuggy (Keuleers and Brysbaert, 2010). In the short-term memory task, participants had to observe four differently colored buttons light up in a specific sequence, starting with a sequence of length 1.…”

Enabling text comprehensibility assessment for people with intellectual disabilities using a mobile application

In research on Easy Language and automatic text simplification, it is imperative to evaluate the comprehensibility of texts by presenting them to target users and assessing their level of comprehension. Target readers often include people with intellectual or other disabilities, which renders conducting experiments more challenging and time-consuming. In this paper, we introduce Okra, an openly available touchscreen-based application to facilitate the inclusion of people with disabilities in studies of text comprehensibility. It implements several tasks related to reading comprehension and cognition and its user interface is optimized toward the needs of people with intellectual disabilities (IDs). We used Okra in a study with 16 participants with IDs and tested for effects of modality, comparing reading comprehension results when texts are read on paper and on an iPad. We found no evidence of such an effect on multiple-choice comprehension questions and perceived difficulty ratings, but reading time was significantly longer on paper. We also tested the feasibility of assessing cognitive skill levels of participants in Okra, and discuss problems and possible improvements. We will continue development of the application and use it for evaluating automatic text simplification systems in the future.

“…In addition to these linguistic features, it is necessary to mention some contextual features that influence radiology reports as discursive events. In their introduction to CL, Perkuhn et al (2012) emphasise that all observations made in a corpus depend not only on the domain of language but also on random influences. This is true for the domain investigated here as well: it needs to be borne in mind that radiology reporting takes place in a highly institutionalised system.…”

Using a Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies Approach to Analyse Gender: A Case Study of German Radiology Reports

This paper explores how a Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) approach can be utilised to investigate representations of gender as well as potential gender bias in radiology reporting, which constitutes a form of professional, medical discourse. The database collected for this purpose consists of three specialised German sub-corpora (332,901 cranial, thoracic, and whole-body computed tomographies, with more than 61 million tokens), which were extracted from a larger medical corpus called MedCorpInn that was built as part of an interdisciplinary project conducted jointly by the University of Innsbruck and Innsbruck Medical University. As a basic premise, CTs are assumed discursive, linguistic events, which are influenced by social and institutional factors. They represent an essential everyday communicative practice among radiologists and referring doctors and they function both as documentation and as a legal record of imaging procedures. To investigate whether there are differences and/or subtle similarities (Taylor 2018; Brezina 2018) in the largely standardised reports on female vs on male patients, a CADS-approach focusing on gender is applied. Keywords, collocation, and concordance techniques will be introduced and used to explore how male and female patients are discussed in the medical discourse studied here. Research into internal clinical communicative practices could also be of interest from the perspective of gender medicine.

“…4.2). Perkuhn/Belica (2006) gehen in ihrer Diskussion korpusgeleiteter Forschung begrifflich weiter und beanspruchen für diesen Ansatz das Label korpuslinguistisch (teilweise auch: korpuslinguistisch im engeren Sinne). Dem Wert von Annotationen stehen sie kritisch gegenüber.…”
