TEI across corpora, languages and genres: Towards a standard for the representation of social media and computer-mediated communication
Abstract
The panel presents results and ongoing work from corpus projects in which TEI-P5 has
been adopted for the representation and linguistic annotation of genres of social media
and computer-mediated communication (CMC). It relates to the work of the TEI-SIG
“computer-mediated communication” which is developing TEI models for the
representation of CMC genres and testing these models for a broad range of genres
(ranging from “text-only” genres such as chat and SMS to multimodal genres such as
learning environments and Second Life) and in corpus building initiatives for various
European languages.
The goal of the panel is to give an overview of models and practices in representing
CMC in TEI on the example of German and French CMC corpora. A documentation and
ODD files of the schemas developed by the group will be made available in the TEI wiki
and be announced via the TEI mailing list before the conference so that everybody who
is interested in participating in the discussion can examine the CMC models in advance.
The discussion in the panel shall serve as an opportunity for collecting feedback on
these models and schema drafts from a broader community within the TEI who is
interested in adapting TEI-P5 for the representation of new (digital) genres. This
feedback will be taken into consideration when revising the models and – as a next step
after the conference – preparing feature requests for adapting the TEI for CMC.
