Replication Data for: Die Entwicklung des Definitartikels im Althochdeutschen. Eine kognitiv-linguistische Korpusuntersuchung

This data set is the appendix for Flick (2020): Die Entwicklung des Definitartikels im Althochdeutschen. Eine kognitiv-linguistische Korpusuntersuchung (Empirically oriented theoretical morphology and syntax 6). Berlin: Language Science Press. English abstract (the publication is in German): The German definite article originated from the adnominally used demonstrative determiner dër (‘this’). It is known that the categorical shift from demonstrative to definite article took place during the Old High German (OHG) period (750-1050 AD). The genuine demonstrative loses its demonstrative force and appears in contexts in which referents can be identified in dependently of the speech situation (the so called semantic definite contexts). In contrast to former investigations the present study examines this development by means of a broad corpus study. The data consists of the five largest texts of the OHG period which are accessible via the Old German Reference Corpus. The investigation takes a usage-based and constructional approach to language and shows how animacy interacts with the development of the definite article. The data set contains: (i) annotation guidelines for the following categories (particularly with regard to Old High German data): Animacy, individuation, semantic roles, different types of definiteness, nominal features of the noun phrase. (ii) corpus data which was extracted from a pre-version of the “Referenzkorpus Altdeutsch" (0.1) plus all the annotations that were made during the investigation. (iii) R code that helped transforming, annotating and statistically analyzing the data. Please change to tree view to see the folder structure of the data set.

本数据集为 Flick (2020)所著《古高地德语中定冠词的演变：一种认知语言学的语料库研究》（经验导向的理论形态学和句法学 6）的附录。该出版物虽以德语呈现，但附有英文摘要。古高地德语中的定冠词源于用于指示的形容词性限定词 dër（‘此’）。众所周知，从指示词到定冠词的范畴性转变发生在古高地德语时期（公元750-1050年）。真正的指示词丧失了指示功能，出现在能够独立于话语情境识别指称者的语境中（所谓语义定冠词语境）。与以往的研究不同，本研究通过广泛的语料库研究探讨了这一演变过程。数据包括古高地德语时期的五大主要文本，这些文本可通过古德语参考语料库获取。研究采用基于使用和构造的语言学方法，展示了有生性如何与定冠词的演变相互作用。数据集包含：（i）以下类别的标注指南（尤其是针对古高地德语数据）：有生性、个体化、语义角色、不同类型的限定性、名词短语的名词特征。（ii）从“Referenzkorpus Altdeutsch”的预版本中提取的语料库数据，以及调查期间制作的所有标注。（iii）R代码，用于数据转换、标注和统计分析。请切换至树状视图以查看数据集的文件夹结构。
