Reading Machines
Besides familiar and now-commonplace tasks that computers do all the time, what else are they capable of? Stephen Ramsay's intriguing study of computational text analysis examines how computers can be used as \"reading machines\" to open up entirely new possibilities for literary critics. Computer-based text analysis has been employed for the past several decades as a way of searching, collating, and indexing texts. Despite this, the digital revolution has not penetrated the core activity of literary studies: interpretive analysis of written texts._x000B__x000B_Computers can handle vast amounts of data, allowing for the comparison of texts in ways that were previously too overwhelming for individuals, but they may also assist in enhancing the entirely necessary role of subjectivity in critical interpretation. Reading Machines discusses the importance of this new form of text analysis conducted with the assistance of computers. Ramsay suggests that the rigidity of computation can be enlisted by intuition, subjectivity, and play.

Language in Scotland
The chapters in this volume take as their focus aspects of three of the languages of Scotland: Scots, Scottish English, and Scottish Gaelic. They present linguistic research which has been made possible by new and developing corpora of these languages: this encompasses work on lexis and lexicogrammar, semantics, pragmatics, orthography, and punctuation. Throughout the volume, the findings of analysis are accompanied by discussion of the methodologies adopted, including issues of corpus design and representativeness, search possibilities, and the complementarity and interoperability of linguistic resources. Together, the chapters present the forefront of the research which is currently being directed towards the linguistics of the languages of Scotland, and point to an exciting future for research driven by ever more refined corpora and related language resources.

English Corpus Linguistics
English Corpus Linguistics is a step-by-step guide to creating and analyzing linguistic corpora. It begins with a discussion of the role that corpus linguistics plays in linguistic theory, demonstrating that corpora have proven to be very useful resources for linguists who believe that their theories and descriptions of English should be based on real rather than contrived data. Charles F. Meyer goes on to describe how to plan the creation of a corpus, how to collect and computerize data for inclusion in a corpus, how to annotate the data that are collected, and how to conduct a corpus analysis of a completed corpus. The book concludes with an overview of the challenges that corpus linguists face to make both the creation and analysis of corpora much easier undertakings than they currently are. Clearly organized and accessibly written, this book will appeal to students of linguistics and English language.

Gütekriterien Diktionärsbasierter Textanalysen Zur Erfassung Domänenspezifischer Kommunikationsinhalte
Long description: Das zentrale Anliegen der vorliegenden Arbeit besteht darin, umfassend und systematisch die Gütekriterien diktionärsbasierter Textanalysen in einem erziehungswissenschaftlichen Untersuchungssetting zu überprüfen. Trotz der Vorteile diktionärsbasierter Textanalysen existieren in der erziehungswissenschaftlichen Forschung kaum Studien, die diese Methode einsetzen. Ein Grund hierfür könnte sein, dass bislang eine systematische Überprüfung der testtheoretischen Gütekriterien Objektivität (Durchführungs-, Auswertungs-, Interpretationsobjektivität), Reliabilität (Paralleltest-, Split-Half-, Retest-Reliabilität) und Validität (Inhalts-, Konstrukt-, Kriteriumsvalidität) fehlte.
Die empirische Überprüfung der genannten Hauptgütekriterien diktionärsbasierter Textanalysen erfolgte im Rahmen des deutschlandweiten E-Mentoring-Programms CyberMentor am Beispiel der domänenspezifischen Kommunikation von Schülerinnen über MINT-Inhalte (Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaft und Technik). Im Programm tauschen sich Gymnasiastinnen im Alter zwischen 12 und 18 Jahren für mindestens ein Jahr per E-Mail mit einer persönlichen Mentorin aus, die im MINT-Bereich tätig ist. Neben E-Mails steht den Teilnehmerinnen für den Austausch eine geschützte Online-Plattform mit Mailfunktion, Diskussionsforen und Chaträumen zur Verfügung.

Cyberpragmatics : internet-mediated communication in context
Cyberpragmatics is an analysis of Internet-mediated communication from the perspective of cognitive pragmatics. It addresses a whole range of interactions that can be found on the Net: the web page, chat rooms, instant messaging, social networking sites, 3D virtual worlds, blogs, videoconference, e-mail, Twitter, etc. Of special interest is the role of intentions and the quality of interpretations when these Internet-mediated interactions take place, which is often affected by the textual properties of the medium. The book also analyses the pragmatic implications of transferring offline discourses (e.g. printed paper, advertisements) to the screen-framed space of the Net. And although the main framework is cognitive pragmatics, the book also draws from other theories and models in order to build up a better picture of what really happens when people communicate on the Net.
