Wladimir Lewschin erzählt in seinem Mathe-Märchen von drei Kindern und ihrem Lehrer, die ins Zwergenland reisen. Dort lernen sie spielerisch mathematische Konzepte wie Teilbarkeit und Zahlensysteme kennen. Das 1962 veröffentlichte Buch ist ein Bestseller und richtet sich an mathematisch interessierte Schüler der 5.-10. Klasse.
Vor dem Hintergrund der Entwicklung Neuer Medien gewinnen Verfahren zur maschinellen Textanalyse zunehmend an Bedeutung. In diesem Buch wird ein Ansatz zur automatischen Textanalyse vorgestellt, der sich an der Aufgabe orientiert, Texte auch dann als zusammengehörig zu identifizieren, wenn sie nur wenige oder gar keine oberflächenstrukturellen Gemeinsamkeiten aufweisen, dafür aber ähnliche Inhalte behandeln. Die automatisch ermittelten Textähnlichkeitswerte werden dazu verwendet, dynamische Hypertexte zu erzeugen, die es dem Leser erlauben, dasselbe Textuniversum aus wechselnden Perspektiven zu traversieren. Das Buch trägt insgesamt dazu bei, Hypertexte als genuin linguistischen Gegenstand zu rekonstruieren.
The aim of this book is to advocate and promote network models of linguistic systems that are both based on thorough mathematical models and substantiated in terms of linguistics. In this way, the book contributes first steps towards establishing a statistical network theory as a theoretical basis of linguistic network analysis the boarder of the natural sciences and the humanities. This book addresses researchers who want to get familiar with theoretical developments, computational models and their empirical evaluation in the field of complex linguistic networks. It is intended to all those who are interested in statistical models of linguistic systems from the point of view of network research. This includes all relevant areas of linguistics ranging from phonological, morphological and lexical networks on the one hand and syntactic, semantic and pragmatic networks on the other. In this sense, the volume concerns readers from many disciplines such as physics, linguistics, computer science and information science. It may also be of interest for the upcoming area of systems biology with which the chapters collected here share the view on systems from the point of view of network analysis.
The Handbook of Technical Communication brings together a variety of topics which range from the role of technical media in human communication to the linguistic, multimodal enhancement of present-day technologies. It covers the area of computer-mediated text, voice and multimedia communication as well as of technical documentation. In doing so, the handbook takes professional and private communication into account. Special emphasis is put on technical communication by means of web 2.0 technologies and its standardization in system development. In summary, the handbook deals with theoretical issues of technical communication and its practical impact on the development and usage of text and speech technologies.
The significance of natural language texts as the prime information structure for the management and dissemination of knowledge is - as the rise of the web shows - still increasing. Making relevant texts available in different contexts is of primary importance for efficient task completion in academic and industrial settings. Meeting this demand requires automatic form and content based processing of texts, which enables to reconstruct or even to explore the dynamic relationship of language system, text event and context type. The rise of new application areas, disciplines and methods (e. g. text and web mining) testify to the importance of this task. Moreover, the growing area of new media demands the further development of methods of text analysis with respect to their computational linguistic, information theoretical, and mathematical underpinning. This book contributes to this task. It collects contributions of authors from a multidisciplinary area who focus on the topic of automatic text analysis from several (i. e. linguistic, mathematical, and information theoretical) perspectives. It describes methodological as well as methodical foundations and collects approaches in the field of text and corpus linguistics. In this sense, it contributes to the computational linguistic and information theoretical grounding of automatic text analysis.
