theme-d-Prose 1848-1920

The literary text corpus "theme-d-Prose 1848-1920" is a specialized collection of 1,227 German-language literary prose texts (shortest: 2,048 words; longest: 100,909 words). It is an extended subcorpus of "d-Prose 1870-1920" (Gius/Guhr/Adelmann 2021), which is the source of 804 of its text files, originally taken from the corpus KOLIMO (Herrmann and Lauer 2017), which in turn is based on the repositories Gutenberg-DE (Projekt Gutenberg-DE, Hille & Partner, and Reuters 2017), Deutsches Textarchiv (Geyken et al. 2011), and TextGrid (TextGrid Repository 2020). An additional 423 texts were added from Gutenberg-DE (Projekt Gutenberg-DE, Hille & Partner, and Reuters 2017), the Deutsches Textarchiv (Geyken et al. 2011), and the Wikisource Collections (Wikimedia Stiftung 2023). In terms of social and literary history, the selected publication period (1848-1920) covers a time of many political changes in the German-speaking area with a diverse literary production that can retrospectively be grouped into the following major literary movements and epochs: the end of pre-March and the Biedermeier, Realism, Naturalism, Modernism, and Expressionism. In addition to the nationality of the authors and the years of publication, the texts for "theme-d-Prose 1848-1920" were selected primarily on the basis of the 'non-fictional elements', such as geographical, political, or historical entities, present in their fiction, which were found to share a common spatial and temporal setting of their fictional worlds representing the German-speaking area of the 19th and early 20th centuries, making "theme-d-Prose 1848-1920" to be an extended and thematically specialized "d-Prose 1870-1920" subcorpus. Each text was manually tagged with the markup XML element <title></title> from the TEI standards (TEI Consortium 2022, Burnard, Schöch, and Odebrecht 2021). In addition to that, the indications of volume (e.g. "Buch 1" or "Band 2") and chapter headings or chapter numbers were manually tagged with markup XML elements <section></section> for volumes and <chapter></chapter> for chapters. The text corpus is available as a zipped folder of XML files and has been enriched with metadata in an additional CSV file. The CSV file contains basic metadata about: the authors: name, pseudonyms, year of birth and death, gender, nationality, authority file identifier (GND ID, Deutsche Nationalbibliothek 2024) the corpus texts: title, number of words, date of first publication, genre (as far as this information is directly documented in the consulted repositories, i.e. in the metadata of d-Prose, or Wikipedia and the consulted literary encyclopedias and literary histories, such as Arnold (2020), Killy and Kühlmann (2008), Stein and Stein (2008), or Brenner (2011)) the fiction of the texts: information about the time and place of the fiction, including keywords and quotes taken from the texts number of texts sum in words average median standard deviation 1,227 34,534,384 28,145.38 16,971 27,036.46 total number of authors 346 100% number of female authors 89 25.7% number of male authors 257 74.3% number of texts percentage of the entire corpus by female authors 315 25.7% by male authors 912 74.3% decade number of texts number of words 1848-1860 137 2,382,896 1861-1870 135 2,353,938 1871-1880 121 3,584,370 1881-1890 162 4,684,519 1891-1900 256 6,695,539 1901-1910 258 8,488,707 1911-1920 158 6,344,415 Clusters of Subcorpora: cluster name subcorpora number of texts number of words shortest text longest texts author gender female authors male authors 316 912 9,938,452 24,595,932 2,500 2,048 100,909 100,180 publication date 1848-1870 1871-1900 1901-1920 272 540 416 4,736,834 14,964,428 14,833,122 2,201 2,316 2,048 99,954 100,780 100,909 text length very short texts short texts medium texts long texts 425 461 196 145 2,327,416 9,250,959 10,741,578 12,214,431 2,048 10,029 40,001 70,208 9,959 39,878 69,387 100,909文学文本语料库"theme-d-Prose 1848-1920"是一套包含1227篇德语文学散文文本的专业语料库，单篇文本最短2048词，最长100909词。 本语料库是"d-Prose 1870-1920"（Gius/Guhr/Adelmann，2021）的扩展子语料库，其中804个文本文件源自该原始语料库。这些文本最初取自KOLIMO语料库（Herrmann与Lauer，2017），而KOLIMO语料库又基于Gutenberg-DE（Projekt Gutenberg-DE，Hille & Partner，Reuters，2017）、Deutsches Textarchiv（Geyken等，2011）以及TextGrid（TextGrid Repository，2020）等资源库。 另有423篇额外文本分别取自Gutenberg-DE（Projekt Gutenberg-DE，Hille & Partner，Reuters，2017）、Deutsches Textarchiv（Geyken等，2011）以及维基文库馆藏（维基媒体基金会，2023）。 从社会与文学史视角来看，本次选取的出版时段（1848-1920）覆盖了德语区历经诸多政治变革的时期，彼时文学创作形态多元，回溯可将其归为以下主要文学流派与时代：前三月革命末期与比德迈尔（Biedermeier）风格、现实主义、自然主义、现代主义及表现主义。 除作者国籍与出版年份外，"theme-d-Prose 1848-1920"的文本筛选主要基于其虚构作品中蕴含的非虚构元素，包括地理、政治或历史实体。这些文本的虚构世界均共享19至20世纪初德语区的时空背景，因此"theme-d-Prose 1848-1920"是对"d-Prose 1870-1920"子语料库的扩展与主题化细化。 所有文本均依据文本编码倡议（Text Encoding Initiative，TEI）标准（TEI Consortium，2022；Burnard、Schöch与Odebrecht，2021），手动使用XML标记元素`<title></title>`完成标题标注。此外，卷次标注（如"Buch 1"或"Band 2"）、章节标题与章节编号，也分别通过XML标记元素`<section></section>`（对应卷次）与`<chapter></chapter>`（对应章节）完成手动标注。 本语料库以XML文件压缩包的形式提供，并附带一份包含元数据的附加CSV文件。该CSV文件包含三类基础元数据： 1. 作者信息：姓名、笔名、生卒年份、性别、国籍、权威档案标识符（GND ID，德国国家图书馆，2024）； 2. 语料文本信息：标题、词数、首次出版日期、体裁（该信息主要来自所参考资源库的元数据，即"d-Prose"的元数据，以及维基百科、相关文学百科全书与文学史，如Arnold，2020；Killy与Kühlmann，2008；Stein与Stein，2008或Brenner，2011）； 3. 文本虚构内容信息：虚构时空相关信息，包括从文本中提取的关键词与引述内容。 ### 语料库整体统计 | 文本总数 | 总词数 | 平均单篇词数 | 词数中位数 | 词数标准差 | | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | | 1227 | 34534384 | 28145.38 | 16971 | 27036.46 | ### 作者群体统计 | 总作者数 | 女性作者数 | 女性作者占比 | 男性作者数 | 男性作者占比 | | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | | 346 | 89 | 25.7% | 257 | 74.3% | ### 文本作者性别分布 | 文本来源 | 文本数量 | 占语料库总比例 | | ---- | ---- | ---- | | 女性作者创作 | 315 | 25.7% | | 男性作者创作 | 912 | 74.3% | ### 按出版十年段划分的文本与词数统计 | 出版十年段 | 文本数量 | 总词数 | | ---- | ---- | ---- | | 1848-1860 | 137 | 2382896 | | 1861-1870 | 135 | 2353938 | | 1871-1880 | 121 | 3584370 | | 1881-1890 | 162 | 4684519 | | 1891-1900 | 256 | 6695539 | | 1901-1910 | 258 | 8488707 | | 1911-1920 | 158 | 6344415 | ### 子语料库聚类分析 #### 按作者性别聚类 | 聚类类别 | 文本数量 | 总词数 | 最短文本词数 | 最长文本词数 | | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | | 女性作者子语料库 | 316 | 9938452 | 2500 | 100909 | | 男性作者子语料库 | 912 | 24595932 | 2048 | 100180 | #### 按出版日期聚类 | 聚类时段 | 文本数量 | 总词数 | 最短文本词数 | 最长文本词数 | | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | | 1848-1870 | 272 | 4736834 | 2201 | 99954 | | 1871-1900 | 540 | 14964428 | 2316 | 100780 | | 1901-1920 | 416 | 14833122 | 2048 | 100909 | #### 按文本长度聚类 | 聚类类别 | 文本数量 | 总词数 | 最短文本词数 | 最长文本词数 | | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | | 极短文本 | 425 | 2327416 | 2048 | 9959 | | 短篇文本 | 461 | 9250959 | 10029 | 39878 | | 中篇文本 | 196 | 10741578 | 40001 | 69387 | | 长篇文本 | 145 | 12214431 | 70208 | 100909 |
