e-Text annotation - discourse anaphora

adding information about the modalization phraseological units metaphor kinds of speech act etc that occur in a spoken dialog

e-Text annotation - pragmatics

its about ldquostylistic features in literary textsrdquo usually SampTP (McEnery et al 200641)

ltsptag cat=FDS who=K next=FDS whonext=J s=1 w=6gtWhereve you got in mind sir

e-Text annotation - stylistics

segmental pronunciation

prosodic boundaries prominent syllables and abnormal sound lengthening

Both highly valuable in accent studies

ik heb hem | n^e^gen maal ontvangen denk ik

e-Text annotation - prosody

lemmatization = adding the identity of the lemma (base form) of each word form in a text

markup = originally text division into paragraphs font characteristics (all noninterpretative text-inherent qualities)

also markup for speakerwriter identification useful in sociolinguistics

e-Text annotation - lemmatization amp markup

Types of ordinary e-text in SL

Linguistic symbols from phonemesletters to whole texts can be

reified into rezzed (created) three-dimensional objects thus

creating innovative manipulative affordances impossible in First

Life and appealing especially to kinaesthetic learners For

example phonetic dominoes words reified as moveable and

audio-enhanced blocks which attract or repel each other

according to e-FL-relevant phonetic criteria such as segmental

makeup syllable number stress pattern etc

Unique e-text affordances in SL

Phonetic dominoes (view from above)

Arrange the nine coloured cubes domino-style to match sounds at the edges of words Cubes say their name when left-

e-Text annotation - contents

corpus annotation is bdquothe practice of adding interpretative linguistic information to an electronic corpus of spoken andor written language datardquo (Leech 1997 2)

It bdquois widely accepted as a crucial contribution to the benefit a corpus brings since it enriches the corpus as a source of linguistic information for future research and developmentrdquo (ibid)

hyperlink-assisted concordancingndash Corpora Search hyperlinksndash History search hyperlinks

also Corpora Search ID and History Search ID optionsndash integrated with other materials

eg feedback links resources for self-exploration T-S interactive annotation = less time-costly more meaningful concordancing

ndash more students conduct more searches that are more in-depth ndash teacher learns about studentsrsquo linguistic and cognitive abilitiesndash while the database of relevant lg observations continues to

grow (and to gradually feed lsquoSharedrsquo History and Resources)

Beyond bottom-up concordancing

IFAConc (092006 ndash 022009) ndash 206 participantsndash All searches gt 37000ndash Students All searches gt 17000ndash All annotated gt 2200ndash Studentsrsquo annotated ndash c 1000

PICLE Conc (042004 ndash 082005)ndash 125 IP numbers (15-20 active users)ndash All ()studentsrsquo searches lt 3700ndash Studentsrsquo annotated (non-interactive) ndash about 40

Concordancing with EAP students ndash basic stats

ndash ldquoI found this research valuable as I used a few examples from Concordance database in my MA dissertation I value the research as it provides me with proper examples of native uses Whenever I look for a word usage I Google it yet it never gives me 100 certainty that the internet source is a reliable one Conc on the other hand is a reliable tool which a student can trustrdquo (agooska H-37145)

It will automatically check the accuracy of learnersrsquo answers and not just the obvious multiple choice but also gap input going way beyond one or two words

It will provide exhaustive student performance reports both as stats for large groups as well as individuals Reports will be delivered to the learner and to the teacher

e-Text annotation - semantics

adding information about anaphoric links eg for MT

S1 (0) The state Supreme Court has refused to release1 [2 Rahway State Prison 2] inmate 1 (1 James Scott 1) onbail S2 (1 The fighter 1) is serving 30-40 years for a 1975 armed robbery conviction S3 (1 Scott 1) had asked for freedom while lt1 he waits for an appeal decision

e-Text annotation - discourse anaphora

adding information about the modalization phraseological units metaphor kinds of speech act etc that occur in a spoken dialog

ltIP PU=proverb MET=true Source=nature Target=prudencegta bird in the hand is worth two in the bushltIPgt

ltIP SA=requestgt May I open the window pleaseltIPgt

e-Text annotation - pragmatics

its about ldquostylistic features in literary textsrdquo usually SampTP (McEnery et al 200641)

SampTP = direct speech indirect speech free indirect thought etc (Leech 2004)

ltsptag cat=FDS who=K next=FDS whonext=J s=1 w=6gtWhereve you got in mind sir

e-Text annotation - stylistics

segmental pronunciation

prosodic boundaries prominent syllables and abnormal sound lengthening

Both highly valuable in accent studies

ik heb hem | n^e^gen maal ontvangen denk ik

speaker A jan | en ook piet waren hier al eerder twee jaar geleden

e-Text annotation - prosody

lemmatization = adding the identity of the lemma (base form) of each word form in a text

markup = originally text division into paragraphs font characteristics (all noninterpretative text-inherent qualities)

also markup for speakerwriter identification useful in sociolinguistics

e-Text annotation - lemmatization amp markup

accuracy

annotation= always interpretation Its never theory free (MWUs -ing)

It will allow the creation and administration of interactive language tasks for learners

It will automatically check the accuracy of learnersrsquo answers and not just the obvious multiple choice but also gap input going way beyond one or two words

It will provide exhaustive student performance reports both as stats for large groups as well as individuals Reports will be delivered to the learner and to the teacher
