Early Modern Correspondences of Princesses in Central Germany: Contrasting Corpus

该项目继续追求两个目标。1)对近代早期德国中部公主的私人信件进行语料库语言学分析，重点关注语言变化、方言、语法、词汇、口语-读写能力、女性语言、谦虚和礼貌的信号以及关键术语的识别和对各自性别特征的描述;（2）这些书信数字化的必要性及其在文献学上的可靠性和科学上的可用性。迄今为止汇编的公主与男性家庭成员的通信（应用阶段1：语料库I）现在将被公主与其他贵族女性的广泛通信所扩展，这些通信既没有被调查也没有被编辑（应用阶段2：语料库II），因为后者中提到的主题比与男性家庭成员的通信更加亲密。这一新的对比语料库（语料库II）将大大增加其已经很高的文化历史价值，因为进一步的见解是预期的语言和文化历史以及性别研究领域的扩展已经编译的语料库（语料库I）。所选的信件在历史和区域背景方面与现有的语料库非常吻合，并由同一档案馆保存，特别是由图林根中央国家档案馆魏玛保存。出版形式包括：在互联网上发布，出版一本有历史文化解释的书籍（第一卷），将注释文本语料库纳入ANNIS数据库，以及对语言、文体和性别的比较进行评估，并对确定的关键术语进行分析（第二卷）。作为我们工作的溢出，从个别调查信件中获得的Meta数据将传递给参与这项研究的档案馆。

The project continues to pursue two objectives. 1) a corpus-linguistic analysis of the private correspondence of princesses in central Germany in early modern times with a special focus on language change, dialect, grammar, lexis, orality - literacy, women's language, signals of modesty and politeness as well as the identification of the key terms and description of gender specific features of the respective genderlect; 2) the necessity digitizing of these correspondences and their philologically reliable and scientifically usable edition. The correspondences of princesses with male familiy members compiled so far (application phase 1: corpus I) are now to be expanded by a wide range of correspondence of princesses with other noble women that have neither been investigated nor edited yet (application phase 2: corpus II) as the topics mentioned in the latter are of a far more intimate nature than the correspondence with male family members. An extension of the already compiled corpus (corpus I) by this new contrasting corpus (corpus II) will considerably increade its already high cultural-historical value as furthes insights are to expected for the areas of linguistic and cultural history as well as gender reseach. The correspondences selected fit well into the existing corpus in terms of their historical and regional context and have been preserved by the same archives, in particular by the Thuringian Central State Archive Weimar. Forms of publishing are an internet and a book edition with historical-cultural interpretation (Volume I), the integration of the annotated text corpus into the ANNIS database as well as an assessment of the linguistic, stilistical and genderlectal comparision and an analysis of the identified key terms (Volume II). As a spillover of our work the meta data derived from the individually investigated letters will be passed on to the archives participating in this research.
