This dossier consists of an introduction to the region under study, followed by six sections each dealing with a specific level of the education system. These brief descriptions contain factual information presented in a readily accessible way. Sections eight to ten cover research, prospects, and summary statistics. For detailed information and political discussions about language use at the various levels of education, the reader is referred to other sources with a list of publications.
The evolution of computer technologies and the introduction of the World Wide Web (WWW) have substantially changed the way scientific articles and books are published today. Besides writing for "traditional" print media, more and more authors decide to reach a larger audience and to decrease distribution time by offering their works on the internet. The electronic medium not only facilitates the spread of information, it also adds new value by extending the possibilities of knowledge retrieval. Of course the same is true for structured data collections like scientific glossaries, dictionaries or bibliographies. They particularly profit from the web when being accessible via user-friendly and effective frontends. The following chapters deal with the transformation of the Bibliography of German Grammar (“Bibliografie zur deutschen Grammatik”) from a data pool primarly used for print publishing to a relational database application offering a basis for media-independent distribution. Starting with a short description of the beginnings of the bibliography, the focus of this article lies on the explanation of our current database design as well as on the presentation of the web-based user interface.
Globally, hearing loss is the second most frequent disability. About 80% of the persons affected by hearing loss do not use hearing aids. The goal of this edited volume is to present a theoretically founded, interdisciplinary approach geared at understanding and improving social interaction impacted by hearing loss and (non-)use of hearing technologies. The researchers report on pilot studies from Australia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Switzerland and the USA. Using Conversation Analysis, the studies identify problems and serve as points of departure for possible solutions. Researchers and practitioners from the different disciplines (medicine, audiology, hearing rehabilitation, User Centered Design, Conversation Analysis, change business) as well as users of hearing technologies comment on this approach.
Investigating the history of a language depends on fragmentary sources, but electronic corpora offer the possibility of alleviating the problem of ‘bad data’. However they cannot overcome it totally, and crucial questions thus arise of the optimal architecture for such a corpus, the problem of how representative even a large corpus can be of actual language use at a particular time, and how a historical corpus can best be annotated and provided with tools to maximize its usefulness as a resource for future researchers. Immense strides have been made in recent years in addressing these questions, with exciting new methods and technological advances. The papers in this volume, which were presented at a conference on New Methods in Historical Corpora (Manchester 2011), exemplify the range of these developments in investigating the diachrony of languages as distinct as English, German, Latin, Spanish, French and Slovene and developing appropriate tools for the analysis of historical corpora in these languages.
The 2014 issue of KONVENS is even more a forum for exchange: its main topic is the interaction between Computational Linguistics and Information Science, and the synergies such interaction, cooperation and integrated views can produce. This topic at the crossroads of different research traditions which deal with natural language as a container of knowledge, and with methods to extract and manage knowledge that is linguistically represented is close to the heart of many researchers at the Institut für Informationswissenschaft und Sprachtechnologie of Universität Hildesheim: it has long been one of the institute’s research topics, and it has received even more attention over the last few years. The main conference papers deal with this topic from different points of view, involving flat as well as deep representations, automatic methods targeting annotation and hybrid symbolic and statistical processing, as well as new Machine Learning-based approaches, but also the creation of language resources for both machines and humans, and methods for testing the latter to optimize their human-machine interaction properties. In line with the general topic, KONVENS-2014 focuses on areas of research which involve this cooperation of information science and computational linguistics: for example learning-based approaches, (cross-lingual) Information Retrieval, Sentiment Analysis, paraphrasing or dictionary and corpus creation, management and usability.

There is an increasing number of dictionary types and lexical search-tools designed to respond to an ever-growing array of user needs. The quest for innovation, however, is not over and this is what this book shall shed light on: the identification of dictionary types that have never been developed for certain languages or for a given lexical domain, as well as typological and linguistic problems that may compromise the development of lexicographic projects.
Temporality in interaction
(2015)
KonfeThe volume contains 23 papers read at the international conference “Historical Corpora 2012”, which was hosted by the LOEWE Research Cluster “Digital Humanities” of the State of Hesse at the University of Frankfurt on December 6-8, 2012. All in all, the conference comprised 27 individual papers plus five keynote speeches, three of which have been integrated in the present volume, too.
The contributions, which have been duly updated, take a broad variety of perspectives on “historical corpora”, including their structuring, their management, and various facets of the increase of knowledge they can provide. In addition to this, the papers cover a large amount of different languages, German – in nearly all its historical facettes – being the most widely addressed; however, the range of vernaculars treated extends far beyond that, across the Romance languages into the Caucasus and from the recent past down into antiquity. Differences also concern the linguistic interests prevailing in the papers, which may focus on syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, lexicological or other phenomena.
