## DE Journalistic Delinquency Corpus (2014-2024)

Built for a bachelor's thesis investigating how youth delinquency is portrayed in
journalistic media in German-speaking Switzerland. The corpus supports a discourse
analysis of that coverage over an eleven-year period.
The texts were retrieved from [swissdox@LiRI](https://swissdox.linguistik.uzh.ch)
and cover eight German-language Swiss outlets: *Blick*, *NZZ*, *NZZ am Sonntag*,
*Tages-Anzeiger*, *SonntagsZeitung*, *Die Weltwoche*, *WOZ Die Wochenzeitung*, and
*20 Minuten Online* — a mix of daily and weekly titles across four publishers.
Articles were retrieved if they contained any of a set of terms for youth delinquency (e.g., *Jugenddelinquenz*, *Jugendkriminalität*, *Jugendgewalt*, *Jugendbanden*) or a combination of a delinquency term with a term for young people (such as *straffällig* together with *Jugendliche*). The full list of search terms is given below.

## Corpora on Sepsis discourse

Four corpora built by the ZHAW Digital Discourse Lab for a discourse analysis of
how sepsis is written about. They cover German, French, and Italian, in
both journalistic and organizational sources, from 2000 to 2025.

The design of the corpora is **contrastive**. Sepsis is a condition with comparatively low public
visibility, so a corpus of sepsis coverage alone offers little to measure against.
These corpora therefore also retrieve texts about other serious conditions —
stroke, cancer, heart attack, and infection more generally — so that the way
sepsis is discussed can be compared with the way better-known conditions are
discussed in the same sources over the same period.

:::{important}
These are **not** sepsis-only corpora. A large proportion of the documents concern
cancer, stroke, or heart attack rather than sepsis.

## Corpora on vaccination discourse

Two corpora built for **Monitoring Vaccination Discourse**, a project on vaccine
hesitancy in German-speaking Switzerland, funded by the Swiss National Science
Foundation ([grant 220650](https://data.snf.ch/grants/grant/220650), 2024–2027).

Both corpora contain documents mentioning vaccination — words built on *Impf*,
*Covid*, or *Corona*, and named vaccines and diseases such as *HPV*, *FSME*, *measles*,
or *influenza*. Words that merely contain the letters *impf*, such as *beschimpfen*
or *glimpflich*, are excluded.

:::{dropdown} The query used to build these corpora
```
Impf="([Ii]mpf|Covid|Corona).*" | ".+impf.*" | "HPV|FSME|Masern|Mumps|Röteln|MMR|Grippe|Influenza" | ("Humane" "Papillomavir.*") | ("humane" "Papillomavir.*") | ".*Meningoenzephalitis" | ".*frisch.*impf.*" expand to text;

Beschimpf="Schimpf.*" | "Beschimpfung.*" | ".*schimpf.*" | "verunglimpf.*" | "glimpflich.*" expand to text;

ImpfOnly = difference Impf Beschimpf;
```

`expand to text` returns the whole document rather than the matching sentence.
`difference` removes every document matched by `Beschimpf` from those matched by
`Impf`.
