Korpuslinguistische Fallstudien zum Südtiroler Standardschriftdeutsch – das Projekt "Korpus Südtirol"

In this paper the linguistically annotated "Korpus Südtirol" is presented, which can be used as a basis for systematic comparative studies of language varieties. Corpus linguistic methods and results as well as insights concerning the semi-automatic collection of special properties of the South Tyrolean German language – both on the lexical and on the phrasal level – are described. In these studies, automatically produced lists of objective differences provide a basis for further manual investigation and classification.
