Learning objectives
On successful completion of this module, students will able to:
- explain the structure of digital databases that contain annotated
linguistic data;
- Search the databases using formal query languages;
- visualize the results in forms of tables, graphs and/or (geographic) maps;
- present the results in written or oral form.
Prerequisites and basic notions
- Knowledge and skills related to linguistics and digital tools acquired in previous years of university education.
- Erasmus students may ask their questions at any time directly to the professor.
Program
The goal of this course is the acquisition of skills which are necessary for conducting linguistic analysis and creating a presentation of the results using digital instruments. The course consists of two parts. In the first part (an 8-hours class which will take place on 25 November and 2 December 2026 at 14.00-18.00 in the T.7 lecture room) two instruments will be introduced: (1) the database and search/visualization environment ANNIS, exemplified which a morphosyntactically annotated corpus of medieval German ("Referenzkorpus Mittelhochdeutsch", REM: https://annis.linguistics.rub.de/REM) and (2) the geographic information system REDE SprachGIS (https://www.regionalsprache.de/en/SprachGIS/Map.aspx). During the second part students will conduct an autonomous project (16 hours, supported by a tutor until 15 February 2027) which consists in (1) the extraction of data related to linguistic features (free choice) from ReM or another similar database using ANNIS or another similar search and visualization environment and (2) the mapping of the geographical distribution of the data using REDE SprachGIS. The expected result of the project is a short term paper (min. 5, max. 10 pages) that features maps which depict the geographic distribution of the features under investigation.
