| Summary: |
A few weeks ago I posted a message seeking help in finding computerized corpora of historical German texts. I would like to thank each of the respondents warmly and am attaching a summary of their responses below. Best, Gert Webelhuth Dep. of Linguistics U of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY Marie Helt (meh2@dana.ucc.nau.edu) wrote: You might try contacting people on the corpora list (run by ICAME at the University of Bergen, Norway). They have been most helpful with my corpora requests in the past, especially for German. The address is: corpora@hd.uib.no Good luck, and would you post a summary of what you find? - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nils Langer (Nils.Langer@newcastle.ac.uk) wrote: this might not be of much help but there is a collection of Early New High German texts, collected by W. Besch (University of Bonn) which is available in the crudest possible form of computerization, i.e. DOS-text. Nevertheless, it might be a start though it is not quite about the period you were looking for. It consists of 40 texts a c. 50 pages and covers 4 centuries and 10 dialects (i.e. 1 text per century per dialect). The earliest text is from around 1325 whereas the most recent one is from 1699. If you're interested you should perhaps get in contact with Professor Besch directly.. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ans van Kemenade (kemenade@let.vu.nl) there is a databank in Frankfurt where I know you could get computerized TEXTS (nothing annotated, I think). But they work on the principle that you can get material if you give some other material in return (medieval barter, you know). Ans included the following email from Richard Schrodt (Richard.Schrodt@univie.ac.at): The best way now would be "Titus", from Gippert in Frankfurt (send e-mail to: gippert@em.uni-frankfurt.d400.de) They have amost everything from Old High German, and they will have soon everything that I have. You get an account-number from Gippert and then you can have these texts, providend that you are able to deliver a own text for sharing. There is also a homepage: http://www.rz.unifrankfurt.de/home/ftp/pub/titus/public_html/ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Peter Christian (peter@gold.ac.uk) wrote: A lot of texts have been digitised, especially but not only the mainstream literary ones. A good place to start would be the Oxford Text Archive at http://sable.ox.ac.uk/ota/ Gottfried's Tristan and Wolfram's works are also available from the U of Virginia Electronic Text Centre at http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/german.browse.html which has also got links to lots of other German texts on-line, mostly post-medieval, though. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gert Webelhuth Assistant Professor Department of Linguistics University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3155 Phone: (919) 962-1192 (School) Fax: (919) 962-3708 (c/o Gert Webelhuth) Email addresses: webelhuth@unc.edu or webelhut@mindspring.com (no final "h" !)
