Diachronic Corpora, Genre, and Language Change
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Diachronic Corpora, Genre, and Language Change

Abstract

Our Artificial Intelligence research group at the University of Leeds has collected, analysed and annotated Classical Arabic corpus resources: the Quranic Arabic Corpus with several layers of linguistic annotation; the QurAna Quran pronoun anaphoric co-reference corpus; the QurSim Quran verse similarity corpus; the Qurany Quran corpus annotated with English translations and verse topics; the Boundary-Annotated Quran Corpus; the Quran Question and Answer Corpus; the Multilingual Hadith Corpus; the King Saud University Corpus of Classical Arabic; and the Corpus for teaching about Islam. We have also developed Modern Arabic corpus resources spanning several genres and language types: Arabic By Computer; the Corpus of Contemporary Arabic; the Arabic Internet Corpus; the World Wide Arabic Corpus; the Arabic Discourse Treebank; the Arabic Learner Corpus; the Arabic Children’s Corpus; and the Arabic Dialect Text Corpus. These corpus resources have informed Arabic corpus linguistics and Artificial Intelligence research, and development of Arabic text analytics tools.
