矩阵：通过语料库比较进行语言分析的统计方法和软件工具向兰开斯特大学提交的计算机科学博士学位论文保罗·爱德华·雷森。2002年9月，本文报道了一种新的方法和工具(MATRIX)的发展，以促进对语言数据的电子语料库的统计分析。首先，我们描述了标准的语料库语言学方法论，它是假设驱动的。标准的研究过程模式是“问题-构建-注释-检索-解释”，换言之，在研究的早期识别研究问题(和语言特征)。近年来，语料库越来越多地使用语言信息进行标注。从我们的调查中，我们发现没有可用的工具来对标注的语料库进行数据驱动，换言之，一种帮助寻找候选研究问题的工具。然而，Matrix就是这样一个工具。它允许宏观分析(对整个文本或语言变体的特征的研究)来通知微观层面(重点是特定语言特征的使用)，哪些语言特征应该得到进一步的研究。通过在剖析工具中集成词性标注和词汇语义标注，矩阵技术扩展了关键字过程以产生关键语法类别和关键概念。它在2001年英国工党和自由民主党大选宣言的比较、社会语言学中的词汇研究、语言学习者的研究、信息提取和内容分析中被证明是适用的。目前，它已经在有限的注释水平上进行了测试，并且仅在英语语言数据上进行了测试。
Matrix: A statistical method and software tool for linguistic analysis through corpus comparison A thesis submitted to Lancaster University for the degree of Ph.D. in Computer Science Paul Edward Rayson, B.Sc. September 2002 This thesis reports the development of a new kind of method and tool (Matrix) for advancing the statistical analysis of electronic corpora of linguistic data. First, we describe the standard corpus linguistic methodology, which is hypothesis-driven. The standard research process model is ‘question – build – annotate – retrieve – interpret’, in other words, identifying the research question (and the linguistic features) early in the study. In recent years corpora have been increasingly annotated with linguistic information. From our survey, we find that no tools are available which are datadriven on annotated corpora, in other words, a tool which assists in finding candidate research questions. However, Matrix is such a tool. It allows the macroscopic analysis (the study of the characteristics of whole texts or varieties of language) to inform the microscopic level (focussing on the use of a particular linguistic feature) as to which linguistic features should be investigated further. By integrating part-of-speech tagging and lexical semantic tagging in a profiling tool, the Matrix technique extends the keywords procedure to produce key grammatical categories and key concepts. It has been shown to be applicable in the comparison of UK 2001 general election manifestos of the Labour and Liberal Democratic parties, vocabulary studies in sociolinguistics, studies of language learners, information extraction and content analysis. Currently, it has been tested on restricted levels of annotation and only on English language data.
