Mayer, Thomas, Bernhard Wälchli, Christian Rohrdantz and Michael Hund 2014 From the extraction of continuous features in parallel texts to visual analytics of heterogeneous areal-typological datasetsLanguage Processing and Grammars: The role of functionally oriented computational models, Nolan, Brian and Carlos Periñán-Pascual (eds.), pp. 13–38 | Article
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we show that functionally motivated procedural approaches may help to automatically extract typological features from texts. This idea is illustrated with measuring cross-linguistic variation in the domain of morphological typology based on parallel texts.… read more
Wälchli, Bernhard and Arnd Sölling 2013 The encoding of motion events: Building typology bottom-up from text data in many languagesVariation and Change in the Encoding of Motion Events, Goschler, Juliana and Anatol Stefanowitsch (eds.), pp. 77–114 | Article
This chapter investigates eleven fundamental questions of motion event encoding from a massively cross-linguistic (i.e. typological) perspective in a bottom-up approach in parallel and original texts making use of quantitative and qualitative methods and various visualization methods. It is found… read more
