GitLab now enforces expiry dates on tokens that originally had no set expiration date. Those tokens were given an expiration date of one year later. Please review your personal access tokens, project access tokens, and group access tokens to ensure you are aware of upcoming expirations. Administrators of GitLab can find more information on how to identify and mitigate interruption in our documentation.

The Alsatian dialect theater tradition is based predominantly on popular and humour genres. What are the *major trends* in this tradition, regarding dramatic technique and character types? What are its major geographic locations? To what an extent do Alsatian dialect plays document the sociolinguistic situation of the period when they were written?
The Alsatian dialect theater tradition is based predominantly on popular and humour genres. What are the *major trends* in this tradition, regarding dramatic technique and character types? What are its major geographic locations? To what an extent do Alsatian dialect plays document the sociolinguistic situation of the period when they were written?
In order to answer these questions and carry out quantitative *analyses*, a large corpus representative of the tradition is required, as well as corpus annotations for the relevant variables: geographical origin plays and authors, places where the plays take place, their period and genre. Regarding the characters, attributes such as their profession, social status, origin, gender or age must be made available. It is also necessary to formalize the plays' structure, identifying act and scene divisions, characters' speech and stage directions.

Our project's goal is creating such a *corpus*, encoded in the link:https://tei-c.org/guidelines/[*TEI*,role=external,window=_blank] format (Text Encoding Initiative), whose link:https://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/DR.html[Performance^] module covers the types of annotations we're interested in. We're working on a representative collection of link:https://www.numistral.fr/services/engine/search/sru?operation=searchRetrieve&exactSearch=false&collapsing=true&version=1.2&query=(colnum%20adj%20%22BNUStr058%22)&suggest=10&keywords=[plays^], which were recently digitized by the Bibliothèque Nationale et Universitaire (Bnu) in Strasbourg. We're currently performing OCR on the plays and their TEI encoding.

The corpus thus created will allow a _distant reading_ or *macroanalysis* approach to Alsatian theater. Such approaches have been applied succesfully to the majour European dramatic traditions, as shown in a 2017 special issue of the link:https://sht.asso.fr/revue/etudes-theatrales-et-humanites-numeriques/[Revue d’Historiographie du Théâtre^]. However, such analyses are still impossible for Alsatian, given lack of an appropriate digital corpus. The MeThAL projects seeks to fill this void.

To that end, we will apply natural language processing and document representation techiques, besides web technologies which will contribute to corpus navigability.
