SUMMARY
In recent years, more innovative methods of corpus-based analysis are
used to investigate relations on the level of text or discourse. The
workshop is organised with a focus on these new approaches and will
include methods of corpus exploitation, e.g. (semi-)automatic
identification of discourse relations, as well as new methods of
statistical evaluation (e.g. multivariate statistical analysis).
The papers address a variety of discourse phenomena such as cohesion and
coherence, information structure and information packaging. The
variation investigated will concern intra-lingual variation between
registers and between written and spoken language, contrasts between
several languages and differences between translations and originals.
The workshop will end with a final discussion. It will mainly revolve
around the question of how different aspects of discourse can be
analysed in combination, both from the perspective of data exploration
and data interpretation:
Which categories have to be defined? How many levels of analysis are
needed? Which relations between which elements are concerned?
What are the dependent and what are the independent variables?
Which tools are best for semi-automatic extraction? Which tools can be
combined?
