Form and Function in Language Research
Language description enriches linguistic theory and linguistic theory sharpens language description. Based on evidence from the world's languages, functional-typological linguistics has established a number of thorough generalizations about the nature of linguistic categorizations and their manifestation in natural languages. Empirical studies in these fields of linguistics have contributed to sharpen linguistic theory in several respects. This volume is a collection of 19 contributions from outstanding scholars in the field of functional-typological linguistics that address fundamental issues in the study of language, such as the nature of linguistic categories, the constitution of function...
Modeling, Learning, and Processing of Text-Technological Data Structures
Researchers in many disciplines have been concerned with modeling textual data in order to account for texts as the primary information unit of written communication. The book “Modelling, Learning and Processing of Text-Technological Data Structures” deals with this challenging information unit. It focuses on theoretical foundations of representing natural language texts as well as on concrete operations of automatic text processing. Following this integrated approach, the present volume includes contributions to a wide range of topics in the context of processing of textual data. This relates to the learning of ontologies from natural language texts, the annotation and automatic parsing of texts as well as the detection and tracking of topics in texts and hypertexts. In this way, the book brings together a wide range of approaches to procedural aspects of text technology as an emerging scientific discipline.
Linguistic Modeling of Information and Markup Languages
This book covers recent developments in the field, from multi-layered mark-up and standards to theoretical formalisms to applications. It presents results from international research in text technology, computational linguistics, hypertext modeling and more.
GWAI-89 13th German Workshop on Artificial Intelligence
Die 13. Jahrestagung für Künstliche Intelligenz, GWAI-89, ist auch 1989 wieder ein Forum, auf dem ein beachtliches Spektrum der KI-Forschung in der Bundesrepublik präsentiert wird. Es reicht von Vorträgen über aktuelle Forschungsarbeiten bis zu speziellen Seminaren und dort von Grundlagenveranstaltungen (Formale und Kognitive Grundlagen von Wissensrepräsentationen; Einführung in Maschinelles Lernen und in spezielle höhere problemorientierte Sprachen für Wissensbasierte Systeme) bis zur Sektion "Expertensystemlabor", in der das Ziel verfolgt wird, einen Rahmen zu definieren für kontinuierliche Kooperation und Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen Grundlagen- und Anwendungsforschung und Produktentwicklung. Die thematischen Schwerpunkte der Beiträge liegen in den Gebieten klassische und nicht-klassische Deduktive Systeme, Expertensysteme und Natürlichsprachliche Systeme. Dazu kommen andere Teilgebiete der KI wie Bildverarbeitung, Kognitive und Tutorielle Systeme sowie Neuronale Netze.
The Narratological Analysis of Lyric Poetry
This study offers a fresh approach to the theory and practice of poetry criticism from a narratological perspective. Arguing that lyric poems share basic constituents of narration with prose fiction, namely temporal sequentiality of events and verbal mediation, the authors propose the transgeneric application of narratology to the poetic genre with the aim of utilizing the sophisticated framework of narratological categories for a more precise and complex modeling of the poetic text. On this basis, the study provides a new impetus to the neglected field of poetic theory as well as to methodology. The practical value of such an approach is then demonstrated by detailed model analyses of canonical English poems from all major periods between the 16th and the 20th centuries. The comparative discussion of these analyses draws general conclusions about the specifics of narrative structures in lyric poetry in contrast to prose fiction.
Unnatural Narrative
A talking body part, a character that is simultaneously alive and dead, a shape-changing setting, or time travel: although impossible in the real world, such narrative elements do appear in the storyworlds of novels, short stories, and plays. Impossibilities of narrator, character, time, and space are not only common in today’s world of postmodernist literature but can also be found throughout the history of literature. Examples include the beast fable, the heroic epic, the romance, the eighteenth-century circulation novel, the Gothic novel, the ghost play, the fantasy narrative, and the science-fiction novel, among others. Unnatural Narrative looks at the startling and persistent presence...
Electric Words
One of the underlying messages of the book is that current research should be guided by both computational and theoretical tools and not only by statistical techniques - that matters have gone far beyond counting to encompass the difficult province of meaning itself and how it can be formally expressed.
Polyphony in Fiction
The overall aim of this book is the application of stylistic theories and frameworks to literary texts for a deeper level of interpretation. For this purpose the author conducted an analysis based upon the concepts of 'polyphony' and 'focalization' of three novels from different literary periods commonly labeled 'Pre-modernism', 'Modernism', and 'Postmodernism', namely, George Eliot's Middlemarch (1871-2), Joseph Conrad's Nostromo (1904), and Saul Bellow's Herzog (1964). Inspired by the work of Russian linguist-philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin the author attempts to clarify stylistically how polyphony is textualized in each novel and how each mode of polyphony reflects less parochial literary and cultural trends.
