http://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/SIG:Computer-Mediated_Communication

Our subject and goals

Our subject:

building and annotating corpora of computer-mediated

communication (CMC) – as resources for empirical research on

CMC phenomena in the Humanities (linguistics, communication

science, language technology, …)

Cette resource doit donc être libre d'accès (open

access research data) afin d'être réutilisable par les

communautés de chercheurs

Nous reviendrons plus tard sur ce point

All genres of interpersonal communication mediated

through computer networks (the internet) and used

via personal computers and/or mobile devices: chats,

online forums, instant messaging, tweets, comments

on weblogs, discussions in wikis and on “social net-

work” sites, interactions in multimodal communication

environments such as Skype, MMORPGs or “virtual

worlds” (e.g., SecondLife), SMS, WhatsApp, ....

Computer-mediated communication (CMC):

Our subject and goals

Our subject and goals

Our subject:

building and annotating corpora of computer-mediated

communication (CMC) – as resources for empirical research on

CMC phenomena in the Humanities (linguistics, communication

science, language technology, …)

Our vision: These corpora shall be …

interoperable (i) with each other and (ii) with other types of

linguistic corpora (text corpora, speech corpora)

represented conformant to established encoding standards in

the field of Digital Humanities

linguistically annotated in order to allow for sophisticated

queries and language-focused research

Our subject and goals

The problem / challenge:

By now, there are no established standards for the

representation of CMC genres

Established standards for the representation of text genres do

not include models for the representation of the peculiarities of

CMC

“Off the shelf” NLP tools for automatic linguistic analysis and

annotation (tokenizers, part-of-speech taggers, lematizers,

normalizers, parsers) do not perform well on CMC data

(because they usually have been trained on edited text and

therefore can’t handle “non-standard” phenomena and

multimodal elements in CMC discourse)

Our subject and goals

Our goals:

work on solutions for these desiderata

develop suggestions for standards for

- packaging and sharing (mono- and multimodal) CMC

corpora,

- modeling these types of “texts” within a framework which is

conformant with the encoding framework of the Text

Encoding Initiative (TEI) and thus with a widely accepted de-

facto standard in the field of Digital Humanities,

- processing and annotating these corpora (part-of-speech,

normalization, ...) with NLP tools.

2016Common system of basic CMC-annotations(POS tagging)

Objective: Kernel corpus assembling existing corpora of different CMC

genres and new corpora build on data extracted from the Internet. These

heterogeneous corpora will be structured and processed in a uniform way,

complemented with metadata. CoMeRe will be released as OpenData

through the national infrastructure Ortolang, following constraints which will

be reused for the forthcoming “Corpus de Référence du Français”.
