Текст научной работы на тему «GreTerrOr: the Greek terrorist organizations’ corpus»

(жестко), böse (зло), bösartig (зло, зловеще), erbost (озлобленно), zornig (гневно, разъяренно), eisig (ледяным голосом), ärgerlich (сердито, раздраженно), empört (возмущенно), hasserfüllt (с ненавистью в голосе), hysterisch (истерично).

В мужских текстах одной из множеств реакций на гнев считается способ описания улыбки и смеха — lächeln (улыбаться), grinsen (ухмыляться), lachen (смеяться) — со следующими наречиями: wütend (яростно, свирепо), zornig (гневно), hässlich (ужасно), böse (зло).

Подводя итог, отметим, что в текстах тривиальной литературы наиболее частотны дескрипции реакции страха и гнева. Как в русских, так и немецких текстах у авторов-мужчин и авторов-женщин страх описы-

вается слишком натуралистично. В русских текстах у авторов-мужчин и авторов-женщин женщины ведут себя, как маленькое слабое существо. Реакция мужчин чаще имплицитна, хотя есть исключения.

В описаниях психосоматических реакций гнева у немцев в отличие от русских не обладают четкой гендерной отнесенностью, которая проявляется в преобладании глаголов речи у русских авторов-женщин. Авторы-мужчины в качестве реакции на гнев используют описание смеха.

Мужчины в русских и немецких текстах эксплицируют гнев, женщины стараются его подавить. В текстах тривиальной литературы гендерный стереотип коммуникативного поведения часто разрушается.

GreTerrOr: The Greek Terrorist Organizations' Corpus

Abstract: This study presents the GreTerrOr Corpus, a Corpus of Greek Terrorist Organizations' Proclamations that has been developed at the Informatics Laboratory of the Department of Mediterranean Studies, University of the Aegean. The corpus has been developed for applications not only by linguists interested in the language used by terrorists when communicating their actions to the public, but also by forensic scientists as well.

Keywords: corpus development, terrorist organizations' proclamations.

Introduction plete processing ofreal language data [1; 9; 10; 11; 12; 14].

Forensic linguistics is a very interesting area, where Blackwell [2] argues that the use of corpora is necessary linguistics is applied to evidence in court, courtroom dis- when dealing with forensic linguistics issues while Cot-course and interpreting, authorship, plagiarism and in fact terill [10] suggests a way of incorporating corpus-based any aspect concerning both language and law [3; 6; 7; 13; methods for forensic linguistics purposes. 15; 16]. Corpus linguistics, on the other hand, is rapidly in- There is worldwide interest in the language used by

creasing the scientific fields that take advantage of its meth- terrorists and the interest seems to be increasing due to odology and techniques for the processing of language the current world situation. Cohen [4], for example, promaterial, with the great benefit of fast, accurate and com- poses a corpus-based methodology for the study of in-

dividual suicide bombers acting in Israel or Palestine, analyzing personal farewells written by suicide bombers to their families for the years 2000-2006. Cirilo, Mar-chi and Venuti [8] describe the CorDis corpus, a corpus of texts that concern the Iraq war. It is an interesting work that consists of language material from the British House of Commons and the US House of Representatives, White House Press Briefings, television news and newspapers and the Hutton Inquiry. CorDis is organized into subcorpora so that different material can be used for the investigation of various research questions.

Greek terrorist organizations, primarily consisting of far-left members, have been very active in Greece for over the last decades. The term "terrorist" has been given to these organizations by the state and the media. These organizations differ in the type of their attacks, the number of their attacks and on whether their members are still free or in custody. However, all the organizations need to communicate the reasons for the attacks to the public and therefore a proclamation is almost always sent by them to the media after an attack.

This study presents GreTerrOr, a corpus of Greek terrorist organizations' proclamations, developed at the Informatics Laboratory of the Department of Mediterranean Studies, University of the Aegean. The corpus is dynamic and is periodically updated with new language material. The corpus can be used for both linguistic and forensic research purposes.

The structure and the material of the GreTerrOr Corpus

The corpus consists of language material from the active and non-active Greek terrorist organizations. The language material mainly consists of proclamations while there is some material produced by former members after they had been arrested. For these organizations metadata concerning their characteristics are kept as meta-data. Besides its organization's characteristics, for each proclamation in the corpus, meta-data includes the name of the organization it belongs to, the date the text was publicized, the title of the text, the size of the text in terms of number of words, the electronic address of its retrieval, the name of the file it is kept under and any notes that seem appropriate. The corpus can be used as a whole but is organized in sub-corpora, one for each organization so that users can use the part of the corpus that corresponds to the organization(s) they are interested in. There is also a sub-corpus for the language material by members in custody. Part of the corpus is manually annotated with part-of-speech information, so the corpus is also divided in two sub-corpora, the unannotated and

the annotated. The unannotated sub-corpus consists of 304,819 words while the part-of-speech sub-corpus consists of 327,083 words. The sub-corpus by members in custody consists of 19,861 words. The language material is kept both in.doc and.txt formats.

There have been seven main organizations in Greece, the first six of which are banned:

- Revolutionary Organization 17 November, "Ep-anastatiki Organosi 17 Noemvri", "17N";

- Revolutionary Struggle, "Epanastatikos Agonas";

- Cores of Fire Conspiracy, "Synomosia Pyrinon Tis Fotias";

- Revolutionary People's Struggle, "Epanastatikos Laikos Agonas";

- Sect of Revolutionaries, "Sekhta Epanastaton";o Warriors of Revolutionary Conscience, Polemistes Epanastatikis Sinidisis";

- Revolutionary Nuclei, "Epanastatiki Pirines".

Some of the above mentioned organizations have

not taken any action for the last years and as such they are characterized as inactive. These are the Revolutionary Organization 17 November, active for the period 19742002 when members of the organization were arrested, the Revolutionary People's Struggle, active for the period 1975-1995 and the Revolutionary Nuclei, active from 1996 to 2000. The remaining four organizations are considered active, that is the Revolutionary Struggle, active from 2003, the Sect of Revolutionaries, active from 2009, the Cores of Fire Conspiracy, active from 2008 and the Warriors of Revolutionary Conscience, active from 2011.

Revolutionary Organization 17 November, "Epanastatiki Organosi 17 Noemvri", "17N"

Revolutionary Organization 17 November, 17N, is the most well-known Greek urban guerrilla organization, with the largest number of attacks, one hundred and three, against Greek, Turkish, British and U. S.A. targets and the largest number of victims, twenty-three of which were killed. It was designated as a terrorist organization by the Greek Government, the United Kingdom and the U. S.A. 17N was formed in 1975 as an anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, anti-U. S.A. group that took its name after 17th November 1973, the day when a popular uprising was bloodily suppressed by the military junta [17]. Since 2002, when its members were arrested, 17N has been inactive.

In the 17N sub-corpus, there two types of language material.

1. Proclamations.

2. Texts by members of the organization.

Regarding the language material of the proclamations, we have two sub-corpora. The first sub-corpus

consists of "clean" language material which consists of the real language material of the proclamations without any interference or any annotation, and the sub-corpus of the annotated language material of the proclamations. The annotated material is manually tagged with part-of-speech information.

For each of the 84 proclamations, there are two files, the "clean", i. e. the unannotated file, and the annotated file. Each of the proclamation texts has been manually tagged with part-of-speech information. The total size of the sub-corpus of proclamations is 230,219 words of the unannotated material and the same amount of annotated material. The shortest proclamation is the 39th, consisting of 44 words, while the longest is the 6th, consisting of 14,140 words. A sample of the unannotated 18th proclamation text file of 2,172 words follows: nPOKHPYSH 18n

Among the organization's attacks was the assassination attempt on Greece's culture Minister in 2006 and the firing of a rocket at the U. S. embassy in Athens in 2007. Six of its members were arrested in 2010. For its twenty-one attacks, it was designated as a terrorist organization by the Greek Government, the European Union and the U. S.A. [18].

During the third attack, an antiterrorist police officer was killed. In 2010, Socratis Giolias, a Greek journalist and broadcaster, was assassinated in the fourth attack. The group claimed responsibility, stating they would target more policemen, journalists and prison staff in roger to crush the "system's democracy" [21].

There is currently one proclamation file of "clean" language material of 3,568 words and three proclamations that have been manually part-of-speech tagged, of a total size of 7,428 words.

Warriors of Revolutionary Conscience, "Polemistes Epanastatikis Sinidisis"

This rather new, active organization appeared in January 2011 with a bomb attack against a construction company in Athens and a bomb attack against a car dealer company in December 2010 [22]. The corpus contains two proclamations of the Warriors of Revolutionary Conscience, the first of 755 words, the second of 5,624 words, with an average size of 3,189.5 words and a total size of 6,379 words. The following sample is from the Warriors of Revolutionary Conscience proclamation of the 17th January 2011.

Revolutionary Nuclei, "Epanastatiki Pirines" Revolutionary Nuclei, an organization which has carried out fifteen bomb attacks, is one of the organizations considered inactive since 2000. It started its actions in 1996 as an anti-European Union, anti-U. S. A and anti-NATO, far-left organization. According to its four proclamations, the attacks were their response to the "imperialist domination, exploitation, and oppression" of Greece. Its action started with two attacks that were acknowledged after the third bomb attack against Greek Coast Guard installations in 1997. On 27 April 1999 their bomb attack against the Intercontinental Hotel in Athens killed one person while in 1999 there was an

attack against Texaco and Citigroup offices and a Greek-American sculptor's studio in 2000 [23]. There is currently one proclamation from the Revolutionary Nuclei organization of 1994 words. The sample that follows is from the Revolutionary Nuclei proclamation regarding the Tarek Mousli case [24].

Conclusion

The GreTerrOr Corpus is a dynamic corpus of Greek terrorist organizations' proclamations built for linguist and forensic research purposes. The corpus is dynamic and periodically updated with relevant language material. Besides the "raw", unannotated material, the corpus contains a significant portion of material annotated with parts of speech. The annotated language material makes possible the processing of proclamations for the extraction of morphological and syntactic information.

Regarding future work, the corpus will be enriched with proclamations of organizations already represented in the corpus as well as of any new organizations which appear. As a second future plan, annotation is to be done for the rest of the corpus. Lastly, the corpus, besides the proclamation material, will be updated with other, various language material produced by known organization members, such as letters sent by members in custody to the media, their apologies to the court and their published articles and books.
