Informationen zum Autor R.G. Garside, Geoffrey Leech, Anthony Mark Mcenery Klappentext This is the first book to survey the growing field of research known as corpus annotation. The computer corpus has become a central resource in the study of language, and it is increasingly seen as essential to annotate a corpus linguistically in order to successfully extract information from it. This is not only a practical task, but it also provides new insight into the nature of language and the most effective means of analyzing it. The text offers an introduction to the field and presents important research carried out by the University Centre for Computer Corpus Research on Language team at Lancaster University, that will be of interest to those already involved in corpus annotation. Zusammenfassung Corpus Annotation gives an up-to-date picture of this fascinating new area of research, and will provide essential reading for newcomers to the field as well as those already involved in corpus annotation. Early chapters introduce the different levels and techniques of corpus annotation. Later chapters deal with software developments, applications, and the development of standards for the evaluation of corpus annotation. While the book takes detailed account of research world-wide, its focus is particularly on the work of the UCREL (University Centre for Computer Corpus Research on Language) team at Lancaster University, which has been at the forefront of developments in the field of corpus annotation since its beginnings in the 1970s.
