Feature structures for character social variable annotation and an application to Alsatian theater

Résumé

Several works address the computational treatment of dramatic characters. Zöllner-Weber (2008, 2011) presents a character analysis ontology. Galleron (2017) developed a characteriseme (characterization unit) taxonomy based on character lists in French theater between 1630 and 1810, formalized as a TEI feature structure (FS) library (see Romary, 2015). Following Phelan (1989), the taxonomy includes mimetic features, which give characters traits assimilating them to humans, and synthetic ones, describing their role in the plot. We believe that characteriseme analysis using a common annotation schema can help comparative drama analysis. We successfully adapted Galleron’s FS approach to model characters in a different language (Alsatian) and period (1870-1940). This can help compare the Alsatian tradition to the hegemonic literatures surrounding it (German and French), one of the goals towards which our ongoing MeThAL project contributes (Ruiz et al., 2022). The poster’s contributions are, first, a character feature (characteriseme) taxonomy using feature structures, inspired by Galleron (2017) but providing an improved, more modular implementation, and enabling the description of more recent drama. Second, a TEI personography where each of our corpus’ 2386 characters is described according to the feature structure. Finally, first characterization analyses in the corpus based on it.
