Kennen Sie schon … das Songkorpus?

Just as pop music has evolved from an orig­i­nal­ly youth cul­tur­al phe­nom­e­non into an inte­gral part of mod­ern cul­ture, its tex­tu­al con­tent has become omnipresent in the realm of every­day lan­guage. We are sur­round­ed by pop lyrics, e.g. in the form of in-car radio lis­ten­ing, online stream­ing ser­vices, ambi­ent music for depart­ment stores and restau­rants, or in the con­text of TV shows. In view of this high com­mu­nica­tive impact fac­tor, there is a sub­stan­tial desider­a­tum regard­ing the empir­i­cal explo­ration of pop lyrics in cor­pus lin­guis­tics.
The Cor­pus of Song Lyrics („Songko­r­pus“) address­es this desit­er­a­tum and con­tains sus­tain­ably uti­liz­able, mul­ti­lay­er anno­tat­ed song texts, fea­tur­ing phe­nom­e­na of both writ­ten and spo­ken dis­course. It is ded­i­cat­ed to lin­guis­tic research, as well as to relat­ed dis­ci­plines such as media, cul­tur­al & lit­er­ary stud­ies, social sci­ences, or musi­col­o­gy, who have a sci­en­tif­ic inter­est in con­tem­po­rary Ger­man rock and pop music lan­guage.

The cor­pus is still in its ear­ly stages, for detailed infor­ma­tion please refer to the gen­er­al sta­tis­tics. So far, it com­pris­es:
