Corpus-Based Linguistic Typology: A Comprehensive Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper will have a holistic view at the field of corpus-based linguistic typology and present an overview of current advances at Leipzig University. Our goal is to use automatically created text data for a large variety of languages for quantitative typological investigations. In our approaches we utilize text corpora created for several hundred languages for crosslanguage quantitative studies using mathematically well-founded methods (Cysouw, 2005). These analyses include the measurement of textual characteristics. Basic requirements for the use of these parameters are also discussed. The measured values are then utilized for typological studies. Using quantitative methods, correlations of measured properties of corpora among themselves or with classical typological parameters are detected. Our work can be considered as an automatic and languageindependent process chain, thus allowing extensive investigations of the various languages of the world.
