自然言語処理を活用したコプト語修道書簡とコプト語訳聖書のコーパス分析

抄録

The text reuse detection tool TRACER was used to detect text reuse between Shenoute's Canons, a collection of Coptic letters, and the Coptic Bible. TRACER found 8,414 cases of text reuse between Shenoute’s texts and the Coptic Bible texts. From these, the authors selected 13 quotations that are valuable for Biblical studies. These quotations did not contain phrases indicating that they are quotations from the Bible, and they had many differences from the source Biblical texts, so they had not been discovered in previous research. In this study, it was possible to mechanically discover such implicit quotations with many changes from the large amount of text reuse. At the end of this paper, an interesting example was examined in which two passages from the Psalms were blended and quoted, from among the valuable quotations newly found by TRACER.
