چکیده

In this paper two highly innovative digital editions will be presented. For the creation and the implementation of these editions the latest developments within corpus research have been taken into account. The digital editions of the historical literary journals "Die Fackel" (published by Karl Kraus in Vienna from 1899 to 1936) and "Der Brenner" (published by Ludwig Ficker in Innsbruck from 1910 to 1954) have been developed within the corpus research framework of the "AAC Austrian Academy Corpus" at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in collaboration with other researchers and programmers in the AAC from Vienna together with the graphic designer Anne Burdick from Los Angeles. For the creation of these scholarly digital editions the AAC edition philosophy and edition principles have been applied whereby new corpus research methods have been made use of for questions of computational philology and textual studies in a digital environment. The examples of the digital online editions of the literary journals "Die Fackel" and "Der Brenner" will give insights into the potentials and the benefits of making corpus research methods and techniques available for scholarly research into language and literature. 1 "AAC Austrian Academy Corpus" The "AAC Austrian Academy Corpus" is a corpus research unit at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna concerned with establishing and exploring large electronic text corpora and with conducting scholarly research in the field of corpora and digital text collections and editions. The variety of texts integrated into the collections of the AAC are predominantly German language texts of historical and cultural significance from the last 150 years.
