ANNIS Working with ANNIS was easier for me as compared to the initial experience of working with spaCy, which I assume is because we had the experience of working with spaCy and sort of knew what each term meant. Initially,…
ANNIS, analysis and machine translations
Working with ANNIS was a lot easier than on spaCy and it has a pretty user-friendly interface. The query-builder function in the software helped in not only identifying the tendencies that machine annotations have towards non-English words but also in…
Analyzing multilingual sentences with ANNIS: Experience and Disappointments
Working with ANNIS has been a new experience for me, as I haven’t closely worked with corpus searches before. The interface was a bit overwhelming and confusing at first, but with some visual instructions it was easier to navigate the…
Working with ANNIS on multilingual Sentences – Experience and Analysis
Set up and first impressions I found working with ANNIS both fun and insightful. I especially appreciated that query results displayed annotations and sentence dependencies immediately, unlike in Google Collab, where multiple intermediate steps were needed. This intuitive interface made…
ANNIS – Much Potential, Hindered by Machine Annotation
Experience Using ANNIS After getting used to the surface, I found ANNIS to be very user-friendly. The Query-Builder allows for a combination of all kinds of prompts. In theory, this could be used to find out how many non-English words…
Using ANNIS as a Tool in Analysing Multilingual Sentences
To me, using ANNIS to study and interpret the annotations of our collective corpus was fun. But only after figuring out the limits and possibilities that diffeI focused on one particular area. It was possible to discover different patterns in…
Our corpus
Parts of speech Our corpus consists of 681 non-English and 3405 English words, meaning 4086 words in total. Here are some of the distributions as they were classified by the machine: Part of speech Total amount of part of speech…
Interpretation and Analysis (with reference to example sentences from Owuor’s novel Dust)
In class, we developed the hypothesis that the inclusion of nouns from a foreign language into a post-monolingual text might in general be more likely than the inclusion of other parts of speech. Our reasoning was that we deem their…
Multi-Lingual Annotations in Python with „A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers“
This was not my first time working with Python to figure out the tokens of sentences via computational means. However, my last time working with Python (in a linguistics BA seminar with Prof. Kevin Tang) has been some time back,…
Annotating multilingual sentences in „America Is Not The Heart“ by Elaine Castillo
Working with Google Collab to do the sentence annotations wasn’t so scary to me because I was already familiar with some coding/programming and linguistics from my bachelor. However, I haven’t worked with both in combination like this before, so that…
