RIDGES project

The RIDGES project (Register in Diachronic German Science) is an investigation into the development of the German scientific language in the early modern and modern periods, ranging from the mid 15th to the 20th century. Within the RIDGES project scientific texts on all linguistic levels (syntax, word formation, lexis, phraseology, textual structure, etc.) are being analyzed, so as to be able to identify and describe developments and trends in the data. Following a variationist approach, the texts are annoted using corpus linguistic methods and quantitative techniques to find changes in textual properties.

The RIDGES team consists of Anke Lüdeling, Amir Zeldes, Carolin Odebrecht, Thomas Krause, Vivian Voigt, Malte Belz, Gohar Schnelle, Catharina Fischer and Laura Perlitz. Furthermore Uwe Springmann is associated to the project.[1] The LAUDATIO project (www.laudatio-repository.org) hosts and curates the RIDGES Herbology corpus in cooperation with the LangBank project (sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/langbank).
