Multilingualism in Greater Poland court records (1386–1448): tagging discourse boundaries and code-switching

This paper introduces the Electronic Repository of Greater Poland Oaths, eROThA (1386–1446), a digitisation project of a diplomatic edition of mediaeval land court oaths recorded in Latin and Old Polish, resulting in a small, lightly tagged specialised bilingual corpus. We present the background, aims, design and methodology of the project. We also discuss the problems and limitations entrenched in turning a printed diplomatic edition into a machine-readable diplomatic edition equipped with a new interpretative layer that is sensitive to the switches between Latin and Old Polish. In addition to the automatic annotation of code-switched items on the basis of typographic characteristics of the printed edition, flexible coding of recurrent language and discourse boundary phenomena has been introduced manually to account for linguistically ambiguous or neutral forms. The project offers a fully multilingual corpus, as well as customised Polish-only and Latin-only datasets, and enables filtered metadata searches in the online front-end. Overall, the report presents a methodology for constructing multilingual corpora in the context of legal cultures in medieval Central Europe that may be extrapolated to datasets originating in other periods and regions.

Social Anxiety as a Consequence of Non-consensually Disseminated Sexually Explicit Media Victimization

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore consequences of the non-consensual dissemination of sexually explicit media (NCDSEM) for survivors, with an emphasis on how NCDSEM may impact social relationships and social anxiety. One-on-one telephone interviews with ( N = 17) self-identified survivors of NCDSEM were conducted between May and December 2019. Interviews were analyzed using a flexible coding methodology. There were five main ways in which participants described consequences of NCDSEM: (a) fear of going out in public, (b) fear of engaging in relationships, (c) fear of applying to jobs, (d) fear of seeking help, and (e) influencing depression and feelings of anxiety. These findings suggest that, for some people, NCDSEM victimization may influence whether and how they subsequently socialize with other people.

Visual Flexible Coding System Design Based on FSM

According to analysis of manufacturing enterprise coding requirements, Visual flexible coding system (VFCS) is proposed based on code classification theory. It has four function modules: code structure design, code segment & bit design, visual coding and interpreting, code query. Firstly, code rules are expressed by extendable XML format as data structure. Secondly, code design is regulated into two stages: code structure design and code segment design, so as to realize separation of code structure logical and contents. finally, code segment structure information is described as graphic nodes, using interactive graphics drawing for visual modeling, finite state machine algorithm are used implementing code structure interpreter.
