This volume of proceedings contains selected papers from the workshop “Digital Lexis, and Beyond” that was held as part of the “45th Austrian Linguistics Conference” in December 2019. The individual papers collected in this volume cover a rather big range of diverse topics within the limits set by the suggested topical bounds of “lexis”. The contributions discuss and investigate digital “tools” and “methods” and show different foci of attention: the documentation of language usage in Greek, Aramaic, Arabic, Austrian German Dialects, and their possibilities of digital access, as well as the exploration of linguistic phenomena, such as diachronic change, the appearance of new linguistic varieties, or the detection of sentiments in literature. All the papers have been peer reviewed (according to a double-blind peer review procedure) by specialists in their respective fields, so that the editors are confident of their academic quality and usefulness for future research in “digital lexicography” and “corpus linguistics”.

Abstract:
Following a poorly documented period in the history of vernacular Greek (6th-12th c.), the late 15th century sets the beginning of a linguistic era characterized by a quantitatively and qualitatively incomparable production of prose texts written in “common” language. It is at this point that classicizing Greek stops dominating in writing, and a new linguistic variety – albeit a very diverse and fluid one – Early Modern Greek (EMG) starts growing rapidly as a literacy language. The development of this new variety is manifested in its widespread use as literary language (in texts with aesthetic function), as well as in its use as a simple scripta, namely a written vernacular for legal, administrative, commercial, and other functions. Despite its significance in the history of Greek, this period remains to a large extent unexplored and underrepresented in Greek language corpora. On this view, our understanding of EMG depends crucially on the representativeness of the few available corpora. The aim of this paper is to investigate the linguistic representativeness of EMG corpora, and to explore possible associations between observed linguistic patterns and corpora design. Focusing on the distribution of contrastive and reformulation markers, our study reveals that the linguistic data illustrated in the available EMG corpora are divergent and largely dependent on the representation of variables, such as text form (poetry/prose), period, geographical region, and genre

Keywords:  Early Modern Greek, corpora representativeness, contrastive markers, reformulation markers
