La figure du monstre, au centre de notre thèse, participe d'une catégorie de personnages déterminés par leur situation hors de la norme. Nous nous intéressons tout particulièrement au monstre en tant que construction symbolique, et l'analyse de ce personnage littéraire hors du commun nous donnera la possibilité d'étudier les rouages textuels qui sont à l'origine de sa création. Nos travaux se portent sur le monstre re-présenté dans et par un texte fictionnel, permettant à ce texte une réflexion métatextuelle sur l'univers de la représentation. La créature monstrueuse est par essence une transgression absolue et c'est cela qui fascine le lecteur. Nous nous emploierons à analyser le monstre en tant que signe avertisseur, ce que d'ailleurs semble indiquer son étymologie, en effet, le terme "monstre" dérive étymologiquement du verbe latin "monstrare" dont le sens est "montrer", qui lui-même est issu du verbe "monere", signifiant "avertir". La créature monstrueuse serait donc un signe dont le sens resterait à déchiffrer pour celui qui le regarde. Notre intérêt se porte tout particulièrement sur la période de la fin du XIXème et le début du XXème siècle, cette époque charnière marque un tournant majeur où les angoisses fin-de-siècle vont être le ferment d'un renouveau de la littérature fantastique. Nos lectures interprétatives de notre corpus seront attentives à la circulation du désir dans les textes, aux formations textuelles inconscientes, ainsi qu'aux réécritures d'un substrat mythologique. Notre étude alliant une mythocritique et une textanalyse n'aura pas pour objectif de dresser un portrait-type du personnage du monstre fabriqué mais d'étudier sa complexité, sa composition littéraire, pour démontrer que le monstre avertit du pire tout en le faisant être là. La mythocritique nous offre la possibilité de mettre au jour les liens tissés entre l'imaginaire individuel de nos auteurs et un fonds anthropologique primordial. La lecture comparative nous permet l'exploration de l'intertextualité qui met tout texte en relation avec des mythes de manière patente ou latente. Enfin, à la lumière des théories freudiennes, nous tâcherons de pénétrer au cœur même de nos textes, il s'agira d'étudier le travail de l'inconscient de l'auteur, ce qui échappe à l'artiste par le mouvement même de l'écriture créatrice. / The abstract is available in French only

Die vorliegende Abhandlung leistet einen Beitrag zu der noch längst nicht genügend untersuchten Modalitätsproblematik in althochdeutschen Bibeltexten. Bei den bisherigen historischen Untersuchungen wurden die kommunikativen Bedingungen für das Vorkommen der Modalitätsausdrücke nicht oder nicht hinreichend genug beachtet. Daher hat sich die Arbeit zum Ziel gesetzt, die sprachlichen Ausdrucksformen der Modalität unter dem kommunikativen Gesichtspunkt zu behandeln und neue Punkte zum Thema "Modalität im Althochdeutschen" zur Diskussion zu stellen. Die Analyse ist diskursiv angelegt: Die jeweiligen Modalitätsformen werden auf dem Hintergrund des gesamten Textes dargestellt und aus dem jeweiligen Kontext heraus erklärt. Als Textgrundlage fungiert das selbst erstellte historische Korpus der zwei biblischen Evangelienharmonien aus dem 9. Jahrhundert (der ahd. 'Tatian' und 'Otfrids Evangelienbuch'). / This work addresses the problem of modality in Old High German bible texts. In historical research so far, the communicative circumstances for the appearance of expressions of modality have not been taken into account or at least not enough. Thus, the aim of this work is, to look at linguistic expressions of modality from a communicative point of view and to open up the discussion about some new issues within the field of "Modality in Old High German". The analysis takes on a discoursal stance: each form of modality is described on the background of the text as a whole und explained in each individual context. The text samples scrutinized are two bible texts from the 9th century, namely the old high german 'Tatian' (Diatesseron) and 'Otfrids Evangelienbuch' (Otfrid von Weißenburg’s Gospel Book).

Accompanied by the cultural development to an information society and knowledge economy and driven by the rapid growth of the World Wide Web and decreasing prices for technology and disk space, the world\''s knowledge is evolving fast, and humans are challenged with keeping up. Despite all efforts on data structuring, a large part of this human knowledge is still hidden behind the ambiguities and fuzziness of natural language. Especially domain language poses new challenges by having specific syntax, terminology and morphology. Companies willing to exploit the information contained in such corpora are often required to build specialized systems instead of being able to rely on off the shelf software libraries and data resources. The engineering of language processing systems is however cumbersome, and the creation of language resources, annotation of training data and composition of modules is often enough rather an art than a science. The scientific field of Language Engineering aims at providing reliable information, approaches and guidelines of how to design, implement, test and evaluate language processing systems. Language engineering architectures have been a subject of scientific work for the last two decades and aim at building universal systems of easily reusable components. Although current systems offer comprehensive features and rely on an architectural sound basis, there is still little documentation about how to actually build an information extraction application. Selection of modules, methods and resources for a distinct usecase requires a detailed understanding of state of the art technology, application demands and characteristics of the input text. The main assumption underlying this work is the thesis that a new application can only occasionally be created by reusing standard components from different repositories. This work recapitulates existing literature about language resources, processing resources and language engineering architectures to derive a theory about how to engineer a new system for information extraction from a (domain) corpus. This thesis was initiated by the Daimler AG to prepare and analyze unstructured information as a basis for corporate quality analysis. It is therefore concerned with language engineering in the area of Information Extraction, which targets the detection and extraction of specific facts from textual data. While other work in the field of information extraction is mainly concerned with the extraction of location or person names, this work deals with automotive components, failure symptoms, corrective measures and their relations in arbitrary arity. The ideas presented in this work will be applied, evaluated and demonstrated on a real world application dealing with quality analysis on automotive domain language. To achieve this goal, the underlying corpus is examined and scientifically characterized, algorithms are picked with respect to the derived requirements and evaluated where necessary. The system comprises language identification, tokenization, spelling correction, part of speech tagging, syntax parsing and a final relation extraction step. The extracted information is used as an input to data mining methods such as an early warning system and a graph based visualization for interactive root cause analysis. It is finally investigated how the unstructured data facilitates those quality analysis methods in comparison to structured data. The acceptance of these text based methods in the company\''s processes further proofs the usefulness of the created information extraction system.

Die Komplexität des Forschungsmanagements an Universitäten und Hochschulen für Angewandte Wissenschaften hat in den letzten Jahren zugenommen, sowohl auf Seiten der Wissenschaftler als auch auf administrativer Ebene. Insbesondere die Texterstellung und -verarbeitung für Forschungsanträge, Publikationen und andere wissenschaftliche Dokumente erfordern erheblichen Aufwand. Gleichzeitig existieren Methoden und Technologien in den Bereichen Information Retrieval, Maschinelles Lernen und Semantischer Technologien, die für die Analyse und Bewertung dieser Texte geeignet sind. Diese Arbeit zielt darauf ab, Aufwände im Lebenszyklus von öffentlich geförderten Forschungsprojekten zu optimieren. Sie identifiziert aktuelle Entwicklungen und Technologien, um Kriterien für eine Gesamtarchitektur abzuleiten, die wissenschaftliche Texte qualitativ annotiert, trainiert und evaluiert. Das resultierende Framework namens FELIX dient als prototypisches System für die computergestützte Assistenz zur Evaluation wissenschaftlicher Texte. Datenkorpora aus Forschungsanträgen und Publikationen wurden für explorative Experimente verwendet, die u. a. auf Methoden des Maschinellen Lernens basieren. FELIX ermöglicht die Analyse von Texten und Metadaten, die Klassifizierung nach definierten Kriterien und die Vorhersage der Bewilligung von Forschungsanträgen. Die Konzeption und Evaluierung von FELIX führte zu wissenschaftlichen und praktischen Implikationen zur Optimierung des Forschungsmanagements.:1. MOTIVATION 2.

In a project called "A Library of a Billion Words" we needed an implementation of the CTS protocol that is capable of handling a text collection containing at least 1 billion words. Because the existing solutions did not work for this scale or were still in development I started an implementation of the CTS protocol using methods that MySQL provides. Last year we published a paper that introduced a prototype with the core functionalities without being compliant with the specifications of CTS (Tiepmar et al., 2013). The purpose of this paper is to describe and evaluate the MySQL based implementa-tion now that it is fulfilling the specifications version 5.0 rc.1 and mark it as finished and ready to use. Fur-ther information, online instances of CTS for all de-scribed datasets and binaries can be accessed via the projects website1. Reference Tiepmar J, Teichmann C, Heyer G, Berti M and Crane G. 2013.
