Digital resources

Tools, scripts and learning environments from my research and teaching. What is on GitHub is openly accessible. The learning environments run on the platforms of the University of Zurich.

Code and data

Parliamentary corpus: pipeline for the Amtliches Bulletin
Processing and analysis pipeline for a linguistic corpus of the Official Bulletin of the Swiss Federal Assembly, National Council, Council of States and United Federal Assembly, 1999 to 2026, in German, French and Italian. The pipeline harvests the transcripts from the parliament's interface, builds a TEI corpus modelled on ParlaMint, annotates it with parts of speech and lemmas and enriches it with metadata on session, business item and committee. It comes with a browser workbench for frequency, dispersion, keyness, collocation and concordance analyses and with scripts for diachronic word embeddings. Current corpus size: about 90 million tokens in 224,000 speeches. The repository contains the code. The corpora can be reproduced with it.

Discourse latency: scripts and data for the monograph
Analysis scripts and derived data from the dissertation on ›HIV|AIDS‹ in the era of post-infectiousness: frequency lists, keyness and collocation computations, discourse network reconstruction. The primary texts are not included for legal reasons.

Learning environments

KoDuP-Germanistik: corpus-linguistic thinking and programming
Digital learning environment that introduces students of German to corpus preparation and analysis with Python, interactively and in context: building one's own data collections, formulating queries, computing frequency, keyness and collocation analyses, understanding distributional semantics. Modular, with different depths of engagement. Created with the Competitive Teaching Fund of the University of Zurich (2020), developed further as KoDuP 2.0 since 2025. In use at the Department of German Studies and at the ZuKoKo summer school.
Access via the OLAT learning platform of the University of Zurich.

Modern German language history online
Interactive timeline of the history of German since 1650 with input videos, expert interviews, model analyses and quizzes, developed for the introductory courses at the Department of German Studies (with Noah Bubenhofer, 2020 to 2021).
Access via OLAT, University of Zurich.

SchrAIb-Tutor
Openly accessible self-learning environment on academic writing in times of AI, along the six phases of the writing process. Under construction, launch January 2028.

Summer school

ZuKoKo: Zurich corpus linguistics and corpus pragmatics
Summer school at the Department of German Studies, University of Zurich, every two years since 2021, designed and coordinated with Noah Bubenhofer. Courses on the foundations of corpus pragmatics, corpus-pragmatic classics, building one's own resources and corpus analysis with Python. The next edition is planned for 2027.
