| # ICC aims & charcteristics |
| * make available comparable corpora of many languages for contrastive linguistic research [@cermakova_international_2021] |
| * mostly based on existing corpora |
| * ICC has a pre-defined “balanced” composition |
| * based on the one of the ICE [@greenbaum_comparing_1996] |
| |
| # Current launch of ICC written |
| |
| * written parts for Chinese, Czech, English, German, Irish (partly), Norwegian publicly available |
| * partially including UDPipe 2.0 annotations [@straka_udpipe_2018] |
| * via Corpus Workbench or KorAP [@diewald_korap_2016] |

| |
| ## Composition of the ICC parts |
| ### By ICC genre |
| |
| ```{r composition_by_genre, message = FALSE, fig.width=14, fig.height=10, out.width = "100%"} |
| icc_genre <- icc %>% |
| expand_grid(genre) %>% |
| mutate(vc = paste0("iccGenre=", genre)) %>% |
| rowwise() %>% |
| mutate(tokens= corpusStats(icc_con(lang, token), vc = vc)@tokens) |
| |
| icc_genre %>% ggplot(aes(x=lang, fill=genre, y=tokens)) + |
| geom_col() + scale_y_continuous(labels = label_number(scale_cut = cut_short_scale())) + |
| theme_ids(base_size = 24) + |
| theme( |
| axis.title.x = element_text(size = rel(1.5), face = "bold"), |
| axis.title.y = element_text(size = rel(1.5), face = "bold"), |
| axis.text = element_text(size = rel(0.70)), |
| legend.title = element_text(size = rel(0.85), face = "bold"), |
| legend.text = element_text(size = rel(1))) + |
| scale_fill_ids() + |
| geom_text(aes(label=if_else(tokens > 0, as.character(tokens), ""), y=tokens), position= position_stack(reverse = F, vjust = 0.5), color="black", size=6.2, family="Fira Sans Condensed") |
| |
| ``` |
| |
| ### By date of publication |
| |
| |
| ```{r composition_by_pubdate, message=F, warning=F, fig.width=14, fig.height=7, out.width = "100%"} |
| year <- c(1986:2023) |
| |
| icc_year <- icc %>% |
| expand_grid(year) %>% |
| mutate(vc = paste0("pubDate in ", year)) %>% |
| rowwise() %>% |
| mutate(tokens= corpusStats(icc_con(lang, token), vc = vc)@tokens) |
| |
| icc_year %>% ggplot(aes(x=year, fill=lang, color=lang, y=tokens)) + |
| # geom_smooth(se=F, span=0.25) + |
| xlim(1990, 2023) + |
| ylim(0, NA) + |
| stat_smooth( |
| geom = 'area', method = 'loess', span = 1/4, |
| alpha = 0.1) + |
| # geom_area(alpha=0.1, position = "identity") + |
| scale_fill_ids() + scale_colour_ids() + |
| scale_y_continuous(labels = label_number(scale_cut = cut_short_scale())) + |
| theme_ids(base_size=24) + |
| theme( |
| axis.title.x = element_text(size = rel(1.5), face = "bold"), |
| axis.title.y = element_text(size = rel(1.5), face = "bold"), |
| axis.text = element_text(size = rel(1)), |
| legend.title = element_text(size = rel(1), face = "bold"), |
| legend.text = element_text(size = rel(1))) |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| # Pilot study |
| |
| * Identification of Light Verb Constructions with *take* |
| * in order to investigate the limitations imposed by the very small corpus sizes |
| * using RKorapClient [@kupietz_rkorapclient_2020] to access corpora and get reproducible results of the collocation analysis |
| |
| |
| # Identification of Light Verb Constructions with *take* |
| |
| |
| ## English: *take* |
| |
| ```{r take_icc, echo=TRUE, message=FALSE} |
| take_ca_icc <- |
| collocationAnalysis( |
| icc_con("eng"), |
| "focus({[ud/l=take]} [ud/p=NOUN])", |
| leftContextSize = 0, |
| rightContextSize = 1, |
| minOccur = 2, |
| addExamples = T |
| ) |
| |
| take_ca_icc %>% show_table() |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Results |
| |
| * for English the query for *take* + NOUN (as direct right neighbour) yields 10 different pairs with a minimum frequency of 2 (see Figure \@ref(fig:take-icc)) |
| * based English Wikipedia (2015) the query yields 139 pairs (log-dice-threshold: 2.0) with about 20 false positives |
| * for ICC German with DeReKo as background corpus, the ratio of true positive LVCs is 10/80 |
