- Course objectives
- In the course, in the form of a project tutorial on a specific language material, the student is offered the possibility of a practical introduction to the formation of a linguistic corpus of so-called written orality. The aim is to develop both specific language skills (about substandard French, about varieties spoken in francophone area) and also to develop technical skills (i.e. to go through all stages of digitization of texts from cd booklets by scanning, ocerisation and annotation, as well as metadata creation, transcription of the spoken word, and text segmentation by musical measure, etc.).
- Learning outcomes
- Upon completion of the course the student will be able to:
- describe the stages and tools used in the creation of linguistic corpora;
- identify and summarize the general features of hip-hop culture and rap music;
- morphosyntactically analyze and lexicographically describe substandard lexicon, especially sociolectisms, neologisms, and xenisms;
- apply image and text processing digitization techniques to any source data. - Syllabus
- Rap and hip-hop studies, rapology in francophone area. Introduction to course and corpus linguistics. Metadata of artists. Before we start - introducing each other and getting each other's help. First steps - searching for artist metadata. How to create tracklists and code songs. How to scan and cut/search for covers. How to get the text recognized (OCR). How to create the written version (P and A formats) and how to search the texts on the Internet (S format). How to create the sound & rhythm reliable version of the rap song. How to create the XLSX table and enrich so called "verticale" with morpho-syntactic, pragmatic and semantical annotations.
