CALLIDUS - Computer-Aided Language Learning: Corpus-Based Lexical Acquisition for Latin

基于语料库的词汇习得方法有什么好处，比如那些用于现代语言教学的拉丁语教学？Callidus项目将通过一项受控干预研究来解决这个问题。该项目将重新使用、扩展和结合现有的拉丁语语料库、搜索工具和教学平台。任何一门外语的词汇学习都是一项复杂的任务，因为它具有高度的多义性，单词和多个单词表达之间的语义相互依存，以及词汇材料和语法结构的联系。因此，记忆单词公式的传统方法(被广泛使用，而且通常是专门使用的)并不是很有效。一种更有前途的方法是在许多不同的上下文中呈现词汇实体。基于语料库的方法允许以一种特别的方式编制教材(范例和练习)来补充教科书。为了实现这一目标，语料库需要在几个层次上进行标注(词条、词性、频率、依存关系)，并且必须可以在这些层次上进行搜索。将制作不同类型的练习，可以灵活地结合各种词汇和语法材料。柏林和慕尼黑的高中(体育馆)将以10年级的形式进行几个周期的受控、基于设计的干预研究。通过传统方法教学的控制组将与使用基于语料库的材料进行教学的组进行比较。为朗班克项目中的语言研究而汇编和注释的古典拉丁语语料库(http://sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/langbank)will)将补充课程信息和语义关系。根据语料库制作的练习将在Moodle学习平台上呈现，该平台还将包含干预研究的数据(测试材料、分数)，并作为用户组的交流平台。语料库将托管在称赞储存库(http://www.laudatio-reposi-tory.org/repository/)中，可通过强大的多层搜索引擎ANNIS(http://corpus-tools.org/annis/)通过使用特定于领域的语料库查询语言(ANNIS查询语言)进行搜索。作为该项目的一部分，将开发一个特定的组件(Machina Callida)，它将扩展AQL并将语料库连接到Moodle系统。

What are the benefits of corpus-based methods for lexical acquisition like those that are used in the teaching of modern languages for the instruction of the Latin language? The Callidus project will address this question by means of a controlled intervention study. The project will re-use, extend, and combine existing Latin corpora, search tools and a teaching platform. Learning the vocabulary in any foreign language is a complex task because of a high degree of polysemy, the semantic interdependence of words and multi word expressions, and the linking of lexical material with grammatical constructions. The traditional (and widely and often exclusively used) method of memorization of word equations is therefore not very effective. A more promising method is to present lexical entities in many different contexts. Corpus-based methods allow the production of teaching materials (examples and exercises) complementing the textbook in an ad-hoc manner. In order to fulfill that goal, the corpora need to be annotated on several layers (lemma, part-of-speech, frequencies, dependencies) and must be searchable across these levels. Different types of exercises will be produced that can flexibly combined with various lexical and grammatical materials.Several cycles of a controlled, design-based intervention study will be conducted in 10th forms in high schools (Gymnasium) in Berlin and Munich. A control group taught by traditional means will be compared to a group which is instructed using corpus-based materials. Corpora of classical Latin compiled and annotated for lingustic research in the LangBank project (http://sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/langbank)will be supplemented with curricular information and semantic relations. Exercises produced on the basis of the corpora will be presented in the Moodle learning platform which will also contain the data from the intervention study (testing materials, scores) and serve as a communication platform for the user groups.The corpora will be hosted in the LAUDATIO repository (http://www.laudatio-reposi-tory.org/repository/) and are searchable by the powerful multi-layer search engine ANNIS (http://corpus-tools.org/annis/) by use of a domain specific corpus query language (ANNIS Query Language, AQL). As part of the project a specific component (Machina Callida) will be developed that will extend AQL and connect the corpus to the Moodle system.
