Detection of Citations and Textual Reuse on Ancient Greek Texts and its Applications in the Classical Studies: eAQUA Project
نویسندگان
چکیده
"Users of this or any edition are warned that the textual variants presented by citations from Plato in later literature have not yet been as fully investigated as is desirable". This shortcoming, characterized by Kenneth Dover (Dover, 1980) is still existent and is unlikely to be corrected quickly by traditional research techniques. Textual reuse plays an important role in Classical Studies research. Similar to modern publications, classical authors used the texts of others as sources for their own work. In ancient texts, however, a less stronger form of word by word citation can be observed. Additionally, the complexity of ancient resources disallows fully manual research.

eAQUA - Bringing modern Text Mining appraoches to two thousand years old ancient texts
In this paper we give an overview of our work on a new research project, which brings together ancient texts and modern methods from the field of text mining. The project is structured so that is comprises data, algorithms, and applications. In this paper we first give a short introduction of the current state of the art. After that we describe what eAQUA will do and what is our methodology.
متن کاملStructured Knowledge for Low-Resource Languages: The Latin and Ancient Greek Dependency Treebanks
We describe here our work in creating treebanks – large collections of syntactically annotated data – for Latin and Ancient Greek. While the treebanks themselves present important datasets for traditional research in philology and linguistics, the layers of structured knowledge they contain (including disambiguated lemma, morphological, and syntactic information for every word) help offset the ...
متن کاملA Computational Model of Text Reuse in Ancient Literary Texts
We propose a computational model of text reuse tailored for ancient literary texts, available to us often only in small and noisy samples. The model takes into account source alternation patterns, so as to be able to align even sentences with low surface similarity. We demonstrate its ability to characterize text reuse in the Greek New Testament.
متن کاملA Sociopragmatic Analysis of Textual Metadiscourse Markers in English and Persian Scientific Texts
This study aimed to explore the function and frequency of textual metadiscourse markers (MDMs) in scientific English and Persian texts. Based on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of textual markers characterizing the selected genre, four different textbooks, two written in English and two in Persian were analyzed to identify the textual metadiscourse categories (including logical marker...
متن کاملWas it better before ? Automated Quotation Detection in Ancient Texts
This work evaluates quotation finding approaches in the context of ancient Greek documents. We explore the notion of quotation as relevant to the first centuries of our era, and we discuss the efficiency and usability of unsupervised approaches, both statistical and semantic, used in more modern cases. We also discuss some characteristics of our corpus relatively to performance metrics. MOTS-CL...
