Linguistic Application Development
One of the Language Technology group's core competencies is the development of custom-made applications. Most applications we have developed to date are either made to facilitate exploration of language data in interactive ways, using innovative visualization techniques, or to serve as annotation tools. Our expertise includes:
- Workflow applications for the management and annotation of linguistic data
- Exploration of language data collections
- Ready-made scientific tools for university and/or industry
- Technology transfer to scale to real-world data
- Interactive visualization techniques
- Analysis of data over space and time (geospatial data, diachronic corpora)
- Annotation tools and interfaces
- Web applications for Public Engagement, Crowd Sourcing, and Citizen Science
Examples of our work
Interactive map-based applications
Stimmen der Schweiz – interactive web interface used for visualisation and exploration of the individual language regions in Switzerland according to the respective linguistic conditions
https://stimmen.linguistik.uzh.ch/
Syntaktischer Atlas der deutschen Schweiz – interactive web interface which allows geographical and linguistic visualisation and exploration in the areas of phonology, morphology and lexis
https://dialektsyntax.linguistik.uzh.ch/
MIRA – web application for management, annotation and exploration of geolinguistic data
Tools for managing research data
GallRom – multi-purpose application for storing digitized historic documents (corpus tool), structural querying and annotatation of this corpus (linguistic research tool), managing complex document metadata and associated secondary literature (bibliography tool), as well as writing dictionary articles based on primary and secondary sources (lexicographical tool).
Répertoire critique des manuscrits littéraires en ancien occitan (RC) – web application for exploration of annotated manuscripts
