Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In literary investigation all evidence is textual, dependent on preservation in material copies. Copies, however, are vulnerable to inadvertent and purposeful change. In this volume, Peter Shillingsburg explores the implications of this central concept of textual scholarship. Through thirteen essays, Shillingsburg argues that literary study depends on documents, the preservation of works, and textual replication, and he traces how this proposition affects understanding. He explains the consequences of textual knowledge (and ignorance) in teaching, reading, and research—and in the generous impulses behind the digitization of cultural documents. He also examines the ways in which facile assumptions about a text can lead one astray, discusses how differing international and cultural understandings of the importance of documents and their preservation shape both knowledge about and replication of works, and assesses the dissemination of information in the context of ethics and social justice. In bringing these wide-ranging pieces together, Shillingsburg reveals how and why meaning changes with each successive rendering of a work, the value in viewing each subsequent copy of a text as an original entity, and the relationship between textuality and knowledge. Featuring case studies throughout, this erudite collection distills decades of Shillingsburg’s thought on literary history and criticism and appraises the place of textual studies and scholarly editing today.

The frame-semantic approach developed in this book offers some well-founded answers to such long-standing, but still controversial issues. Following Charles Fillmore’s definition of frames as both organizers of experience and tools for understanding, the monograph attempts to examine one of the most important concepts of Cognitive Linguistics in more detail. The point of departure is Fillmore’s conception of “frames of understanding” – an approach to (cognitive) semantics that Fillmore developed from 1975 to 1985. The envisaged Understanding Semantics (“U-Semantics”) is a semantic theory sui generis whose significance for linguistic research cannot be overestimated. In addition to its crucial role in the development of the theoretical foundations of U-semantics, corpus-based frame semantics can be applied fruitfully in the investigation of knowledge-building processes in text and discourse.

Book excerpt: Most people need textual or visual interfaces to help them make sense of Semantic Web data. In this book, the author investigates the problems associated with generating natural language summaries for structured data encoded as triples using deep neural networks. An end-to-end trainable architecture is proposed, which encodes the information from a set of knowledge graph triples into a vector of fixed dimensionality, and generates a textual summary by conditioning the output on this encoded vector. Different methodologies for building the required data-to-text corpora are explored to train and evaluate the performance of the approach. Attention is first focused on generating biographies, and the author demonstrates that the technique is capable of scaling to domains with larger and more challenging vocabularies. The applicability of the technique for the generation of open-domain Wikipedia summaries in Arabic and Esperanto – two under-resourced languages – is then discussed, and a set of community studies, devised to measure the usability of the automatically generated content by Wikipedia readers and editors, is described. Finally, the book explains an extension of the original model with a pointer mechanism that enables it to learn to verbalise in a different number of ways the content from the triples while retaining the capacity to generate words from a fixed target vocabulary. The evaluation of performance using a dataset encompassing all of English Wikipedia is described, with results from both automatic and human evaluation both of which highlight the superiority of the latter approach as compared to the original architecture.

Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,7, AKAD University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: A text is more than the bare listing of words in a row or the adding of various sentences randomly to each other. The knowledge of what components are included in a text and in which way these components interact with each other is the key in truly understanding a text, as well as it is essential for being able to fully receive its message. For many jobs – especially for language related jobs, for example interpreters and translators –the task to develope and enhance textual skills is undeniable crucial for employees.To have the knowledge of text competence includes the cognitive ability to analyze unknown text in order to receive ist useful information and to be able to create a text by oneself. Therefore, the main question to answer is: “What makes a text a text?“ Even if this might look at first sight very simple to answer, this topic is far more complex than originally expected. In fact, since the 1960s there has been a linguistic science field named “text linguistic“ which deals with this question in greater detail.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,7, AKAD University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart, course: Text analysis an text production, language: English, abstract: This work deals with the seven key criteria for textuality as developed by de Beaugrande and Dressler. The key criteria for textuality, which were developed by de Beaugrande and Dressler in 1981, encompass: Cohesion, coherence, intentionality, acceptability, informativity, situationality and intertextuality. To develop an understanding of this matter is of importance for anyone who is working in the field of text production. As examples may serve the professions of journalists, authors, translators, teachers and many more. A thorough understanding of the criteria for textuality will bring with it an expanded capacity of producing, analyzing and understanding texts.
