    Författare :Maria Irena Szawerna; [2023-06-19]
    Nyckelord :language variation; Polish; diachronic linguistics; part-of-speech tagging; lemmatization; corpus linguistics;

    Sammanfattning : Computational approaches to language variation continue to contribute in a relevant way to various fields, including Natural Language Processing (NLP) and linguistics. Being able to accommodate variation within natural language increases the robustness of NLP models and their usefulness in real-life applications; simultaneously, detecting and describing variation and trends that govern it is one of the main goals of sociolinguistics and historical linguistics, meaning that some of the advances in NLP can contribute to these fields as well.

    Författare :David Lafage; [2022-06-09]
    Nyckelord :latin; ille; is; datalingvistik; korpus; diakron;

    Sammanfattning : This student thesis deals with the diachronic evolution of the Latin demonstrative pronoun and determiner ille at the expense of the anaphoric pronoun and determiner is, which heralds a later development towards the definite article in Romance languages. The phenomenon is analyzed through a general theory about language change in Latin, according to which developments which can be observed in early Romance are by and large not visible in Latin literature, since they are assumed to take place mainly in low-register, unrecorded varieties.
