History, publications

Theory
  • Form analysis
  • (what?) the form of the dance


  • Formal analysis
  • (how?) formal methods (mathematics, linguistics)
  • precondition: notation


  • Computer-aided analysis
  • (with which?) software
  • precondition : digitalized notation
  •                     software on formal methods

Labanatory application
  • Data
  • AutoCAD blocks with unique identifiers
  • unified use of symbol preferred


  • Algorithms
  • matrix representation (pre-sign tolerant match)
  • search on matches (parameterization, e.g. symmetry)


  • Interface
  • AutoCAD commands, menus, toolbars, hot keys

Experiments
  • Search
  • constructing queries
  • evaluating hits, feedback


  • Marking
  • optimal coverage
  • not full coverage, multiple marking


  • Statistics
  • diagnose frequencies
  • observing use of language elements

Terminology
10
Teaching language, dance


  • Corpus linguistics and software searches would allow students
  • to research corpora directly, not through the teacher’s filter.


  • Ideally, this would require
  • appropriate corpora
  • software applications
  • computer labs
  • language teachers
  • motivated students who have good computer skills
