  1. The Ramses-ProjectAn Annotated Corpus of Late Egyptian J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  2. Back to a not so distant past ...  1986 « Informatique et Égyptologie »  1988 « Manuel de codage » for PC’s  1993 Glyph for Windows 1.0  1999 Wege zu einem Digitalen Corpus Ägyptischer Texte  2000 Coffin Texts Word Index  2004 Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae (http://aaew.bbaw.de/tla)  2007 Ramses 1.0 J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  3. Three preliminary remarks • Corpuses of richly annotated texts do not exist • Research in Egyptian linguistics cannot make significant progress for lack of systematized corpuses • Egyptian texts are not available outside the small circle of Egyptologists (World heritage) J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  4. Towards an ideal structure ... The goals • a complete morpho-syntactic analysis • a semantic and pragmatic analysis • hieroglyphic coding • multi-criterion and multi-level searches- within a syntagm - within a proposition - within a sentence - beyond the sentence • making encoding easy • developing semi-automatic procedures of analysis • developing a friendly user research interface The means J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  5. Present general organization Scientific committee J. Winand, head of the project (ULg) P. Vernus (ÉPHÉt) St. Polis (FNRS – ULg) S. Rosmorduc (Paris X – ÉPHÉt) Collaborators L. Neven (MA ; scholarship of the ULg) A.-Cl. Honnay (MA ; doctoranda ULg) St. Gohy (MA ; doctoranda ULg) A.-L. Comhaire (ULg) J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  6. Present general organization J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  7. What has been achieved so far ? Software developments • Text editor • Lexical editor • Corpus editor • Search engine Encoding • number of texts encoded (376) vs number of documents (267) • number of lemmas in the lexical editor : 5.400 • number of spellings : 13.500 • number of inflections : 5.400 • number of blocks (occurrences) in the text editor : 88.000 J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  8. What next ? Software developments • search engine (to be continued) • a syntactic and a semantic editor • an on-line version Encoding • all the material written in Late Egyptian, including « softer » texts where the influence of « Égyptien de tradition » can be felt (« néo-égyptien mixte » and « néo-égyptien partiel ») • possible adaptations of the software to other stages of Egyptian (Old and Middle Egyptian, Demotic) J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  9. Financial Means 2006-2007 Starting of the project with our own resources 2007 Laurence Neven is hired as research assistant to the project Jan. 2008 Funding from the FNRS : 35.000 euros Oct. 2008 Funding from the University of Liège : 1.000.000 euros over five years (Action de Recherche Concertée) • Three young Egyptologists (PhD) • Two post-docs • One engineer in computer science • Equipment, organisation of scientific meetings J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

(st. abs.) • AND spelling = • find an inflexion : imperative • find a spelling : • find a sequence of signs within a word : * * J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  35. Building a Request J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  36. Building a Request J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  37. Building a Request • Simple request • Complex request • find a lemma + an inflexion • ex. rdi + subjunctive * B A rdi subjunctive * J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  38. Building a Request Capture d’écran du module J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  39. Building a Request • Simple request • Complex request • find a lemma + an inflexion • ex. rdi + subjunctive • 2. find any substantive without a definite or a possessive article Ø B A NOT def. article AND NOT poss. article subst. Ø J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  40. Building a Request • Simple request • Complex request • find a lemma + an inflexion • ex. rdi + subjunctive • find any substantive without a definite or a possessive article • 2’. the same, but excluding the proper names Ø B A subst. NOT proper names NOT def. article AND NOT poss. article Ø J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  41. Building a Request J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  42. Building a Request • Simple request • Complex request • Phraseology • rdi + Hr (face) + n/r (to) « to give one’s attention to » * * C B A n/r (to) rdi Hr (face) AND AND NOT NOT OR OR J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  43. Presentation of the Results Various possibilities for sorting out the results: e.g. - inflexion of rdi - spellings of Hr - textual genres J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège

  44. Other Possibilities: building a corpus • building a corpus of texts by picking texts in a list or by using filters (date, types of documents, genres, etc.) • taking the results as a corpus for a new request J. Winand, S. Rosmorduc & St. Polis University of Liège
