Sree,

For morphological analysis, take a look at RFTagger (http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/projekte/corplex/RFTagger/). I also know of two other parsers: BitPar (http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/tcl/SOFTWARE/BitPar.html) and ParZu (https://github.com/rsennrich/ParZu).

Best,
Anne

The Research Group in Computational Linguistics (http://clg.wlv.ac.uk) at the University of Wolverhampton invites applications for two research associate posts in the DVC project (http://clg.wlv.ac.uk/projects/DVC/)

Salary: £28,401 ? £31,020 pa (level of appointment dependent on qualifications and experience)
Duration: These are temporary, fixed-term appointments for maximum three years (dependent on start date of contract).
Application deadline: 2nd September 2012

RA1: Research Associate in Computational Linguistics (REF: A5910)

To work as part of a team to research computational linguistics approaches to investigate the relationship between the meaning and the use of English verbs. This is a project funded by AHRC and the successful applicant may be required to attend meetings in the Czech Republic. Applicants should have a PhD in Information Science, Computer Science or Natural Language Processing (or equivalent experience) and proven research experience in these fields. Applicants must be familiar with corpus linguistics and should have experience of at least some of the following fields: textual entailment, semantic role labelling and word sense disambiguation.  Knowledge of a programming language is also essential. Experience of web application development, corpus annotation and using NLP tools is desirable. Applicants should feel comfortable with understanding linguistic theories such as Sinclair?s and/or Hanks?s principles of corpus pattern analysis.

Dear Sri,

1.
StanfordParser (http://nlp.stanford.edu/software/lex-parser.shtml) and
mate-tools (http://code.google.com/p/mate-tools/)
come with pre-packaged models for German.

2.
Try TreeTaggerChunker (http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/projekte/corplex/TreeTagger/)

If you are working with Java, the DKPro Core framework (http://code.google.com/p/dkpro-core-asl/) comes with easy to use wrappers for TreeTagger and StanfordParser. An integration of the mate-tools is in preparation.

Hi Sree,

You can also find the German-NER here, in case you want to further divide
the Noun-phrases into categories:

Morphisto (https://code.google.com/p/morphisto/) might fit your
needs. Here is a quote from its website:

Subject: [Corpora-List] Corpus Linguistics in the South 4: Hands-on
        workshop
To: <corpora at uib.no>

We are pleased to announce that the next Corpus Linguistics in the South
will be hosted by the University of Portsmouth on Saturday 10 November.
It will be a practical hands-on workshop with software which may be
useful to corpus linguists. The programme and description of the
sessions are copied below.


As always, attendance is free but places are limited and will be
assigned on a first come first served basis. If you would like to
attend, please email charlotte.taylor at port.ac.uk. Could you also specify
if you would like to join us for lunch at a local cafe/restaurant (max
£10).

Programme
9.15      Welcome coffee
9.30      Sketch Engine: Advanced workshop
            Adam Kilgarriff, Lexcom Computing, Brighton
11.00    EXMARaLDA (Extensible Markup Language for Discourse Annotation)
Daniel Jettka, Hamburg Centre for Spoken Corpora, Germany
13.00    Lunch
14.15    CHILDES (Child Language Data Exchange System)
Kevin McManus, University of Southampton
15.45    Unix for Corpus Users
            John Williams, University of Portsmouth
17.15    Arrangement of next two Corpus Linguistics in the South events
& Close

Sketch Engine: Advanced Workshop
This will be an opportunity for people with some experience of Sketch
Engine to see and try out some more advanced features, and also to ask
any questions, particular of the 'How do I do X?' variety.  As with most
software, most users are only aware of a small fraction of what the
software offers, and find it rewarding to have their repertoire
extended.   My usual experience with workshops of this kind is that
there are many instances of wide-eyed looks which say "Ah, so THAT is
how you do that!"  Come prepared with any queries or reports you want to
be able to do, but are not sure how, and we'll work out how together in
the workshop.

Introduction to EXMARaLDA
The workshop will introduce EXMARaLDA ("Extensible Markup Language for
Discourse Annotation"), a system of concepts, data formats, and tools
for the computer assisted transcription and annotation of spoken
language, and for the construction and analysis of spoken language
corpora.
During the workshop three related tools will be introduced: (1) the
Partitur Editor - a tool for inputting, editing, and outputting
transcriptions in partitur (musical score) notation, (2) the Corpus
Manager (CoMa) which is designed to merge transcripts created with the
Partitur Editor with their corresponding recordings into corpora and to
enrich them with metadata, and (3) the query tool EXAKT ("EXMARaLDA
Analysis and Concordancing Tool") for searching transcribed and
annotated phenomena in an EXMARaLDA corpus.
After a brief introduction, the participants will have the chance to
gain some practical experience with the tools. The focus will presumably
be on the transcription and annotation of audio and/or video data in the
Partitur Editor so please feel free to bring along your own data for
testing.
To find out more about EXMARaLDA visit
http://www.exmaralda.org/en_index.html

Introduction to CHILDES
The overall purpose of the session is to provide practical, hands-on
experience of the CHILDES database and its tools for researchers working
in any field of language acquisition. In particular, we aim:
a)   to introduce researchers unfamiliar with CHILDES, but planning to
do empirical work, to the basics of transcription and coding of new and
existing material and to the tools available to analyse data;
b)   to help researchers in addressing specific research questions
within CHILDES (e.g. use of part-of-speech tagger, searches on
morphosyntactic lines, etc).

Introduction to Unix for Corpus Users
This workshop is intended for corpus users with little or no knowledge
of the Unix command line who would like to extend their repertoire of
searching, sorting, and synthesizing techniques beyond those that are
available through the standard corpus-query software packages
(SketchEngine, AntConc, Wordsmith, etc). The workshop will be divided

into three phases:
a)   Some baoptions, input & output, pipes, file management, aliases, .rc files
b)   The most useful Unix commands for corpus linguists: cat, grep, sed,
sort, uniq (We will chain some of these together to create a customized
word list with frequencies) . Some of these commands are integrated into
the standard packages but by using them at the command line their range
and flexibility can be greatly extended. This part of the workshop will
also include a discussion of regular expressions.
c)   It is hoped to be able to demonstrate a simple Unix shellscript
(program) which will convert batches of .doc and .pdf files to .txt , to
aid participants in building their own corpora. This tool will be
available to take away (or to be sent by email) at the end of the
workshop.
