Feature Discovery for Diachronic Register Analysis: a Semi-Automatic Approach
Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, Ekaterina Lapshinova-Koltunski, Elke Teich
Abstract
In this paper, we present corpus-based procedures to semi-automatically discover features relevant for the study of recent language change in scientific registers. First, linguistic features potentially adherent to recent language change are extracted from the SciTex Corpus. Second, features are assessed for their relevance for the study of recent language change in scientific registers by means of correspondence analysis. The discovered features will serve for further investigations of the linguistic evolution of newly emerged scientific registers.- Anthology ID:
