Multilingual Corpora:
Linguistic Requirements and Technical Perspectives
A pre-conference workshop to be held at
Corpus Linguistics 2003

ORGANIZED BY:
Stella Neumann (Department of Applied Linguistics, Translation and
Interpreting)
Silvia Hansen (Department of Computational Linguistics)
Saarland University, Saarbrcken, Germany
TOPIC AND MOTIVATION:
How do researchers go about building multilingual corpora? For the
development of a linguistically interpreted corpus on the basis of more
than one language there seem to be two methods: First, the multilingual
corpus is split up into monolingual sub-corpora which are then annotated
independently. For the second method, one language serves as the basis for
building up and interpreting a multilingual corpus, whereas the other has
to be adapted. Both methods, however, are rather problematic. They do not
take sufficiently into account the differences and commonalities between
the languages in question at each stage of corpus-based research, involving
the comparability of the corpus design, the different kinds of
segmentation, the diverging annotation schemes, the corpus representations
and finally the again converging querying across different languages.
Mistakes or inconsistencies which happen at one stage of the multilingual
corpus development have negative influences on the following steps and
result in worse mistakes or inconsistencies. Not only do these problems
arise at each methodological step. They also multiply with the growing
complexity of the research design. If the research aims at interpreting
linguistic data on several levels, cross-linguistic comparability has to be
taken into account on each level.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers who formulate
specific requirements of how to work with corpora under a linguistic
perspective and engineers who can offer technical solutions but need the
input of users to adapt their tools to the needs of the linguists. Within
this context, questions like the following are to be discussed:
- What happens, if the units under investigation diverge on the different
levels?
- At present, the preferred solution is to use XML at all stages and on all
layers. But is this really practicable?
- Do linguists get along with stand-off mark-up?
- Is this maybe a technical compromise?
The workshop should result in a requirement catalogue in combination with
technical solutions. It could thus serve as a starting point for the
development of an annotation typology which takes into account different
languages as well as different annotation layers. On the basis of this
typology, the comparability of a multilingual multi-layer annotated corpus
can be guaranteed. With this in mind, a multilingual corpus builder should
be able to cope with possible problems in each of the above explained steps
in corpus development.
Papers are expected on the following questions:
- linguistic requirements in the different methodological steps
- state-of-the-art technical solutions
- international standards which facilitate the development and exchange of
multilingual corpora

Call for Papers - IR 4.0: Broadening the Band
International and Interdisciplinary Conference of the Association of
Internet Researchers in Toronto, Ontario, Canada October 16-19, 2003
Lead organizer Knowledge Media Design Institute at the University of Toronto
Submission site opens: January 15, 2003
Deadline for submissions: March 1, 2003
Conference Website:
http://www.aoir.org/2003 | http://www.ecommons.net/aoir
Digital communications networks such as the Internet are changing the
way people interact with each other, with profound effects on social
relations and institutions. Yet many remain excluded from access and
meaningful participation. It is timely to consider who is included,
who is excluded and what we now know about the composition and
activities of online communities.
Internet Research (IR) 4.0 will feature a variety of perspectives on
Internet, organized under the theme Broadening the Band. As in
previous conferences, the aim is to develop a coherent theoretical
and pragmatic understanding of the Internet and those that are
empowered and disenfranchised by it. IR 4.0 will bring together
prominent scholars, researchers, creators, and practitioners from
many disciplines, fields and countries for a program of
presentations, panel discussions, and informal exchanges.
IR 4.0 will take place at the Hilton Hotel in the heart of downtown
Toronto. The conference is hosted by a team led by the Knowledge
Media Design Institute (KMDI) and its partners at the University of
Toronto. The IR 4.0 steering and working committees reflect the
growing pan-Canadian network of Internet researchers, including
members from Quebec, Alberta, and New Brunswick, in addition to the
local contingent from Toronto, York and Ryerson Universities.
This year's theme, Broadening the Band, encourages wide participation
from diverse disciplines, communities, and points of view. Under the
umbrella theme, contributors are called to reflect upon, theorize and
articulate what we know from within the emerging interdisciplinary
space known as Internet Research.
In a cultural sense, the theme calls attention to the need to examine
access, inclusion and exclusion in online communities. What role do
race, gender, class, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, age,
geography, and other factors play in the degree of online
participation? What are the indicators of meaningful participation?
In a technical sense, the theme points to the development of
broadband, wireless and post-internet networks and applications that
are currently coming on-stream including community, private, public
as well as national research networks (e.g. CA*net 4, Internet 2).
We plan to use these technologies to make the conference an
internet-mediated and internationally accessible event.
In an organizational sense, the theme reflects a widening of AoIR's
reach to include more researchers and constituencies involved in the
evolution of the Internet. French language presentations will be
included in the call for papers for the first time. Researchers and
practitioners in the arts and culture sectors are encouraged to
participate alongside social scientists and humanities scholars and
researchers.
In a thematic sense, "Broadening the Band" suggests widening the
scope of topics and problematics considered within past conferences,
while retaining the consistent emphasis on rigorous research work.
This call for papers thus initiates an inclusive search for
theoretical and methodological correspondences between this expanding
theme and the many disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches that
are required to address it with precision.
Possible Topics:
- Who is bridging what: questions and answers on the digital divide
- New directions in digital art
- E-me, e-you? (E- Health, E-Governance, E-Commerce,E-Business,
E-games, E-entertainment, E-other)
- Ethnicity, Race, Identity, Gender, Sexuality, Language(s) and
Diverse Cultural Contexts Online
- Who Decides: Ethics, Law, Politics and Policy of the Internet
- We can't measure that, can we? Meaningful Indicators for Internet
Access, Participation, Use and Effects
- Who owns what? Value, Space, and Commons on the Internet
- Is there an Author, a Publisher, or writing on the internet?
- Transformed by Technics: New Technologies and The Post-Internet Age
- Who is watching your computer, when You're not watching it....
- When we are glocal: the internet in global and local manifestations
- I put my lesson plans on the internet, what changed? Teaching,
Learning and the Internet
- Digital media and terror/ism: global flows, economies, and surveillance
- Social movements, net-based activism, and hactivism in a global arena
- Which methods, whose theories? determining approaches to internet research
- Why did we digitize that, and what's it worth? Exploring the value
of digital content
This list is not meant to be exhaustive, but rather to trigger ideas
and encourage submissions from a range of disciplines. The organizers
will take an active role in generating and joining the various
interests into appropriate formats.
