Vortrag & Diskussion: Folkert de Vriend
Tools for Computational Analyses of Dialect Geography Data
In dialect geography various methods are used for systematically
collecting evidence for dialect differences. De Vriends book with the
same title contains five studies on tools and infrastructure for
computational analyses of dialect geography data. In his talk talk he
will discuss two of these studies in more detail.
The first study is
on a unified structure for different sets of dialect dictionary data.
The second study is on visualization as a research tool for dialect
geography using a geo-browser. He will also discuss challenges related
to implementing several of the results of these studies and he will
illustrate these challenges with examples taken from the CLARIN (Common
Language Resources and Technologies Infrastructure) projects he has
worked on.
Folkert de Vriend studied General Linguistics at the Radboud
University in Nijmegen. After obtaining his degree he worked on several
projects at the Radboud University and the Meertens Institute in
Amsterdam, aimed at digitization and curation of language resources and
the development of tools for eHumanities research. In 2012 he obtained
his doctorate at the Radboud
University on his PhD thesis “Tools for
Computational Analyses of Dialect Geography Data”. Currently, Folkert de
Vriend works on the preparation and implementation of Dutch-Flemish
language policies at the Dutch Language Union in The Hague.
