Le CMC-core : un schéma de représentation des corpus de la CMR en TEI

Abstract

In this paper we describe a schema and models which have been developed for the representation of corpora of computer-mediated communication (CMC corpora) using the representation framework provided by the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). The schema presented here is the result of the activities and discussions within an international community of researchers who have been building, annotating and processing CMC data for the integration into corpus infrastructures (CLARIN, ORTOLANG) and use these corpora for purposes of linguistic research on linguistic variation and language change in and through the impact of internet-based communication technologies and applications. Discourse in the scope of CMC corpora (= "computer-mediated communication") is characterised as dialogic, sequentially organised interchange between humans which is conducted using communication technologies such as chats, messengers, online forums; social media platforms and applications such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp; the communication functions of collaborative platforms and projects (e.g. in the Wikipedia or in learning environments); or 3D environments (e.g. Second Life, gaming environments). 2 Discourse found in CMC exhibits features that cannot be adequately handled by schemas and tools developed for the representation, annotation and processing of discourse that conforms to the written standard and the structural conventions of established text types (e.g., newspaper articles, prose, scientific articles). It also significantly differs from the language and structure of spoken conversation so that CMC-core: a schema for the representation of CMC corpora in TEI Corpus, 20 | 2020 Listing 4.

From private phones to public screens: Cross-media recontextualization of chat discourse in the case of the Austrian ÖVP corruption affair

“…Chat is one of the earliest Internet services and modern IM applications rank among the most widely used smartphone apps. In a very broad sense, chat discourse can be characterized as a form of computer-mediated communication (CMC): dialogic, sequentially organized interchanges conducted via communication technologies (Beißwenger and Lüngen, 2020;p. 1).…”
