The use of corpora is indispensable in “Digital Humanities”. In order to achieve valid and meaningful insights researchers must be familiar with the build-up, coding and analysis of electronic corpora.
This volume demonstrates the breadth of corpus-based and corpus-guided research in Austria. With these selected contributions the editors open a wide field of different approaches. These include methodological reflections as well as the development and evaluation of standards and of new procedures for data modelling. The individual contributions present representative language resources built up and investigated in Austria as well as their concepts of coding and analysis. Via concrete research questions and exemplary analyses they demonstrate how digital corpora can provide new insights in diverse areas.
The volume informs about various types of corpora, thus about historical and contemporary corpora, written and oral corpora, standard and non-standard corpora, child and adult corpora, learner corpora, media corpora, etc. It has offered researchers the opportunity to report on their experiences in corpus research. A final aim is to stimulate an intensification of corpus use and the expansion of digital methods in the humanities.
