Gohar Schnelle ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin im Projekt B04 “Emergence and transfer of register patterns” und bearbeitet den frühneuhochdeutschen Teil des Projektes (Texte von Martin Luther). Ihre Dissertation “Registervariation im Althochdeutschen” befasst sich mit Methoden der Registerermittlung, die für historische Sprachen wie das Althochdeutsche anwendbar sind. Im Rahmen des Registeruniversums interessiert sie sich hauptsächlich für die Schnittstelle zwischen Registertheorie and -methodologie auf dem Feld historischer Sprachen. Ihre Forschungsinteressen sind darüber hinaus die Geschichte der deutschen Medizinsprache, religiöser Sprachgebrauch und Sprachgebrauch auf historischen Grabinschriften. Gohar Schnelle ist als Mitherausgeberin mehrerer historischer Korpora (Referenzkorpus Altdeutsch, Ridges-herbology und Referenzkorpus Deutsche Inschriften (Subkorpus Grabinschriften)) Spezialistin für historische deutsche Korpuslinguistik und Korpuserstellung.

  • Beier, Phil; Schnelle, Gohar; Unverzagt, Silke; Norde, Muriel; Zeige, Lars Erik  (2023) BiNoKo V. 1.0 Birgitta-Notker-Korpus [DOI] [ViVo]

    The Birgitta-Notker-Korpus (BiNoKo) is a resource dedicated to comparative research on historical registers. The corpus comprises two sources: The Old High German Book of Psalms by Notker III of Saint Gall and the Old Swedish Revelations of Birgitta of Sweden. The subcorpus of Birgitta's Revelations and the subcorpus of Notker's Psalms are available as separate zip files. The corpus format is ANNIS. For local installation, use ANNIS Desktop. The documentation for ANNIS can be found here:

    The guidelines (see 'related identifiers') are published in REALIS 2/3 and include information about the corpus design, annotation layers, meta data, and annotation principles.

    In the present review paper by members of the collaborative research center ‘Register: Language Users’ Knowledge of SituationalFunctional Variation’ (CRC 1412), we assess the pervasiveness of register phenomena across different time periods, languages, modalities, and cultures. We define ‘register’ as recurring variation in language use depending on the function of language and on the social situation. Informed by rich data, we aim to better understand and model the knowledge involved in situation- and function-based use of language register. In order to achieve this goal, we are using complementary methods and measures. In the review, we start by clarifying the concept of ‘register’, by reviewing the state of the art, and by setting out our methods and modeling goals. Against this background, we discuss three key challenges, two at the methodological level and one at the theoretical level: 1. To better uncover registers in text and spoken corpora, we propose changes to established analytical approaches. 2. To tease apart between-subject variability from the linguistic variability at issue (intra-individual situation based register variability), we use within-subject designs and the modeling of individuals’ social, language, and educational background. 3. We highlight a gap in cognitive modeling, viz. modeling the mental representations of register (processing), and present our first attempts at filling this gap. We argue that the targeted use of multiple complementary methods and measures supports investigating the pervasiveness of register phenomena and yields comprehensive insights into the cross-methodological robustness of register-related language variability. These comprehensive insights in turn provide a solid foundation for associated cognitive modeling.

  • Schnelle, Gohar; Hennig, Mathilde; Odebrecht, Carolin; Lüdeling, Anke  (2023) Historische Korpora in sprachhistorisch orientierter germanistischer Hochschullehre  In: Beiträge zur Geschichte der deutschen Sprache und Literatur [DOI] [ViVo]
    Abstract This paper argues for incorporating corpus data into the teaching of historical linguistics. While deeply annotated historical corpora are becoming available and corpus data is already widely used to answer various research questions, corpora are as yet rarely used in teaching. We believe they are ideally suited to make the variation in historical data transparent and help students to explore contexts and parameters. In our first study, we show how the KaJuK corpus and its more elaborated version, the GiesKaNe corpus, can be exploited to study adverbial sentences. Using the RIDGES corpus, the second study deals with phrasal and lexical development. Both studies focus on explaining the method and its extension to other corpora and research questions.

  • Schnelle, Gohar; Roth, Theresa  (2023) Evidential Strategies in Ancient vs. Early Modern Medical Discourse   In: Kolloquium SFB1412 (2023) [ViVo]
    In our talk we will discuss the development of evidential strategies used in historical medical discourse as a register relevant function. Our results show, that the use of evidentiality in Early Modern German medical texts is tightly bound to evidential strategies used in Ancient medical texts (i.e. Galen), but also shows variation as the scientific standards and thus registers used in contexts of scientific communication change over the centuries. Our analyses are carried out on the basis of a variationist corpus study based on annotation in the Register in diachronic German Science Corpus (Ridges-herbology) combined with a qualitative analysis of medical tractats by Galen (2nd-3rd century AD).
