Presentation

News linguistic corpus

The reference to the corpus has become a major methodological orientations of contemporary linguistics in connection with the development of digitalization and the use of processing tools.ƒƒƒ‚To give an example, science news, we find that in the space of two years in France, this area has received a Research Infrastructure (RI Corpus) available in several consortia, a Equipex (Ortolang ) and a call from the ANR (Corpus HSS).ƒƒƒ‚With Huma-Num and the establishment of Dariah and CLARIN project is in Europe that the issue is transposed.

Possible questions

The current interest in the corpus corresponds to an epistemological he thinking?ƒƒƒ‚A corpus-based approach may be qualified as strictly empirical or she meets specific design requirements?ƒƒƒ‚What is the status of the corpus as data producers in the construction of a linguistic representation?ƒƒƒ‚How do they contribute to the cumulativeness of knowledge?ƒƒƒ‚What developing corpus does involves instrumentation of languages ​​(eg. Transcription tools) and how they contribute to the development of grammar, writing dictionaries and developments of NLP?ƒƒƒ‚What are the effects of corpus data on the theories and schools?ƒƒƒ‚What gaps result from their absence?ƒƒƒ‚These data being central, essential, exclusive, or, conversely, additional annexes, peripherals, etc.ƒƒƒ‚I need regular.ƒƒƒ‚What evidence can you give in current research?ƒƒƒ‚The growth and diversification of data provided by body-they contribute to improving the theory?

History of work on data

Work on data for the preparation, collation, verification and analysis of linguistic facts is an ancient practice.ƒƒƒ‚First it is a philological and exegetical tradition unbroken from antiquity to the present, which remains linked to the founding of libraries and archives as the drafting of compilations (eg. Alexandrians, the Benedictines ).ƒƒƒ‚This relationship scholars classification and document exploitation would be in most civilizations, especially in the East.

Possible questions

What meaning given to scaling according to the work on languages ​​is through limited or significant corpus samples?ƒƒƒ‚In other words, can we speak of "grammars corpus," which offer a representation of language extension, the product itself constituting a corpus object?ƒƒƒ‚If the existence of such objects is proved, since when do they exist and what traditions?ƒƒƒ‚Conversely, how to decide the justification of theories that provide such a remedy to the data?ƒƒƒ‚How and why constituting the corpus of inscriptions?ƒƒƒ‚Epigraphic data such they simply respond to a need for census and completeness, or pose any language problems for those who created and / or those who exploit them?

Extension to the world's languages

With European expansionism, accumulation - that exist in other traditions - has spread to a job description language that transform the use of recording techniques (at the end of the nineteenth century) and the application on the stories collected, methods of transcription and segmentation for which theHandbook of American Indian Languagesƒƒƒ‚​​remains iconic.ƒƒƒ‚In its modern sense, corpus linguistics seems to be experiencing a revival and a new definition in a linguistic anthropological field concerns (the United States) or under planning (Russia).

Possible questions

At the time of massive grammatisation vernacular, how was made the transition from small samples (Collections Our Father for example) to more important data?ƒƒƒ‚What were the operating principles in the creation of new data?ƒƒƒ‚How these data be organized and what is their status?ƒƒƒ‚What is their purpose language (not folk or ethnographic)?ƒƒƒ‚How are they different from other tools like mapping?

The constitution of the great modern databases

Automated corpus begins in the 1960s and asks questions sampling (vs full texts), systematic research of structures.ƒƒƒ‚From the late 1980s, large amounts of data have become available thanks to the technological development of computers and the development of software.

Possible questions

What are the criteria for defining these large amounts of data as "corpus"?ƒƒƒ‚How do they induce a change in the ecology of language practice, especially in the division of scientific work?ƒƒƒ‚What are the epistemological foundations of the body of reference and what are the principles of legitimacy?ƒƒƒ‚What the growing importance given to speech corpora in languages ​​with written tradition can it lead to a change of perspective?

The "mtacorpus"

Meanwhile, the digitization of books legitimate accumulation of written sources and documents on the representation of companies languages, as exemplified byƒƒƒ‚CTLFƒƒƒ‚andƒƒƒ‚Corpus of French grammarƒƒƒ‚, affecting after language, the metalanguage.

Possible questions

What is the role of these tools in the construction of the representation of language?ƒƒƒ‚Do they modify, adjust or refine this representation?
