“…de Souza and Orȃsan (2011) and Rahman and Ng (2012)). Zhekova et al (2014) were to our knowledge the first ones who projected co-reference annotations in the literature domain, in contrast to general language texts. In lack of a reasonable amount of parallel training data to train an automatic word alignment of the language pair Russian to German, they developed an alignment tool which facilitates manual alignment.…”

We present a manually annotated word alignment of Franz Kafka's "Verwandlung" and use this as a controlled test case to assess the principled usefulness of word alignment as an additional information source for the (monolingually motivated) identification of literary characters, focusing on the technically wellexplored task of co-reference resolution. This pilot set-up allows us to illustrate a number of methodological components interacting in a modular architecture. In general, co-reference resolution is a relatively hard task, but the availability of word-aligned translations can provide additional indications, as there is a tendency for translations to explicate underspecified or vague passages.

“…Both former translations (Dostoyevsky, 1924;Dostoyevsky, 1956) are freely available online, while the latter translation by Swetlana Geier (Dostoyevsky, 2012) was and, unfortunately, still is not freely available as a digital copy. As Zhekova et al (2014) note, it was provided for research purposes under specific restrictions by Fischer Verlag. 6 As discussed in (Zhekova et al, 2014), ALuDo was initially designed as a rule-based interactive aligner that made use of a query term in order to align the source text with the three target translations and display only the relevant aligned snippets.…”

“…Moreover, phenomena that are not realized as surface features of text (and are thus not automatically identifiable) would require manual observation of the data. For the latter, an appropriate visualization of the multiple alignments is needed, which we also provide via ALuDo, presented in (Zhekova et al, 2014), which is a tool for interactively aligning search results within both bilingual and monolingual comparable texts (see section 4.1).…”

“…Thus, we make use of ALuDo (Alignment with Lucene for Dostoyevsky), presented in (Zhekova et al, 2014), which is a tool for interactively aligning search results within both bilingual and monolingual comparable texts. ALuDo is a Java implementation, which could be easily applied for any language pair.…”

Sentence-alignment and application of russian-german multi-target parallel corpora for linguistic analysis and literary studies Autor(es):Zhekova, Desislava; Zangenfeind, Robert; Mikhaylova, Alena; Nikolaienko, Tetiana ResumoEste artigo apresenta a aplicação de corpora multialvo paralelos -compostos por um único texto-fonte e múltiplas traduções-alvo desse texto -para análise linguística. Discute-se o alinhamento, busca interativa e visualização deste tipo de dados usando uma ferramenta específica chamada ALuDo (Alinhamento com Lucene para Dostoievski). Trata-se de uma aplicação Java que utiliza gramáticas locais, informação ontológica, dicionários bilingues e abordagens estatísticas para alinhamento e pesquisa. O conjunto de dados utilizado é constituído pelo romance russo Crime e Castigo de Fiodor Dostoievski e três traduções do romance em alemão. Com este corpus bilingue é possível levar a cabo investigação significativa no campo da linguística e dos estudos literários. Adicionalmente, publicamos parte do corpus paralelo resultante. Palavras-chave: alinhamento interativo; alinhamento baseado em regras; alinhamento estatístico; resolução de correferência; identificação de paráfrase.
