Course content
The course deals with developing of small corpora for linguistic and literary purposes according to the requirements and criteria defined by the developer. Building a corpus requires both knowledge of Philology as well as knowledge of technical aspects that will be discussed successively in the course: (1) Format: encoding (ASCII, ANSI and Unicode) and data format (structured - XML vs. unstructured, so called plain text ". txt"). (2) Annotation (= metadata): external vs. internal. (3) Tools: processing (and implementing data into the corpus manager), corpus and data mining (query language, annotation). There are freely available software tools that are used to build and manage corpora (freeware, GNU GPL or Open Source projects). The attention is also paid to the possibility of automatic data processing (segmentation: tokenization a vertical mode, format of conversion, etc.). From the methodological point of view the data and metadata are strictly distinguished as well as the types of annotation are discussed (technical, structural, and linguistic annotation), finally collecting and processing of data and their specificity (written vs. spoken form) are presented.
