"Binnendeutsch" und "Hauptvariante Bundesrepublik". Zu Peter von Polenz' Kritik an Hugo Moser
(1989)
Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die methodischen Ausgangspunkte des Projekts MIT. Qualität und stellt einige zentrale Erkenntnisse zur Modellbildung, der korpuslinguistischen Analyse und Akzeptabilitätserhebungen in der Sprachgemeinschaft vor. Wir zeigen dabei, wie bestehende Textqualitätsmodelle anhand einer Analyse einschlägiger Ratgeberliteratur erweitert werden können. Es wurden zwei empirische Fallstudien durchgeführt, die beide auf die Herstellung von textueller Kohärenz mittels des Kausalkonnektors weil fokussieren. Wir stellen zunächst eine korpuskontrastive Analyse vor. Weiterhin zeigen wir, wie man anhand verschiedener Aufgabenstellungen diverse Aspekte von Akzeptabilität in der Sprachgemeinschaft abprüfen kann.
Belege in elexiko
(2005)
In this paper, we present the concept and the results of two studies addressing (potential) users of monolingual German online dictionaries, such as www.elexiko.de. Drawing on the example of elexiko, the aim of those studies was to collect empirical data on possible extensions of the content of monolingual online dictionaries, e.g. the search function, to evaluate how users comprehend the terminology of the user interface, to find out which types of information are expected to be included in each specific lexicographic module and to investigate general questions regarding the function and reception of examples illustrating the use of a word. The design and distribution of the surveys is comparable to the studies described in the chapters 5-8 of this volume. We also explain, how the data obtained in our studies were used for further improvement of the elexiko-dictionary.
Dieser Beitrag geht auf die 2010 erschienene Dissertation „Migration, Sprache und Rassismus“ des Verfassers zurück. Dort untersucht er mit ethnografischen und gesprächsanalytischen bzw. -rhetorischen Methoden den kommunikativen Stil von zwei mehrheitlich türkischstämmigen, akademischen Gruppen der zweiten Migrantengeneration in Deutschland. Im Fokus der Studie steht das Milieu der „emanzipatorischen Migranten“, die ethnische Zuschreibungen wie „Türken“, „Kurden“, Italiener“ etc. ablehnen und sich als (kultur-)politische Initiativen gegen Diskriminierung und für gleiche Bürgerrechte einsetzen. Als Fallstudie für diese soziale Welt analysiert der Autor die Mannheimer Gruppe der „Unmündigen“. Sein Erkenntnisinteresse richtet sich auf die Fragen, welche rhetorischen Verfahren die Beteiligten im Umgang mit Diskriminierungs- und Marginalisierungserfahrungen entwickelt haben und wie sie in ihrer gruppeninternen Kommunikation auf das Türkische und das Deutsche in ihrem Sprachrepertoire zurückgreifen. Im vorliegenden Artikel wird auf den letztgenannten Aspekt eingegangen und untersucht, welche Formen und Funktionen die deutsch-türkische Variationspraxis der „emanzipatorischen Migranten“ aufweist.
In this paper, the authors use the 2012 log files of two German online dictionaries (Digital Dictionary of the German Language and the German Version of Wiktionary) and the 100,000 most frequent words in the Mannheim German Reference Corpus from 2009 to answer the question of whether dictionary users really do look up frequent words, first asked by de Schryver et al. (2006). By using an approach to the comparison of log files and corpus data which is completely different from that of the aforementioned authors, we provide empirical evidence that indicates - contrary to the results of de Schryver et al. and Verlinde/Binon (2010) - that the corpus frequency of a word can indeed be an important factor in determining what online dictionary users look up. Finally, we incorporate word class Information readily available in Wiktionary into our analysis to improve our results considerably.
To design effective electronic dictionaries, reliable empirical information on how dictionaries are actually being used is of great value for lexicographers. To my knowledge, no existing empirical research addresses the context of dictionary use, or, in other words, the extra-lexicographic situations in which a dictionary consultation is embedded. This is mainly due to the fact that data about these contexts are difficult to obtain. To take a first step in closing this research gap, we incorporated an open-ended question (“In which contexts or situations would you use a dictionary?”) into our first online survey (N = 684). Instead of presenting well-known facts about standardized types of usage situation, this chapter will focus on the more offbeat circumstances of dictionary use and aims of users, as they are reflected in the responses. Overall, my results indicate that there is a community whose work is closely linked with dictionaries. Dictionaries are also seen as a linguistic treasure trove for games or crossword puzzles, and as a standard which can be referred to as an authority. While it is important to emphasize that my results are only preliminary, they do indicate the potential of empirical research in this area.
This chapter summarizes the typical steps of an empirical investigation. Every step is illustrated using examples from our research project into online dictionary use or other relevant studies. This chapter does not claim to contain anything new, but presents a brief guideline for lexicographical researchers who are interested in conducting their own empirical research.
The main aim of the study presented in this chapter was to try out eyetracking as form to collect data about dictionary use as it is – for research into dictionary use – a new and not widely used technology. As the topic of research, we decided to evaluate the new web design of the IDS dictionary portal OWID. In the mid of 2011 where the study was conducted, the relaunch of the web design was internally finished but externally not released yet. In this regard, it was a good time to see whether users get along well with the new design decisions. 38 persons participated in our study, all of them students aged 20-30 years. Besides the results the chapter also includes critical comments on methodological aspects of our study.
The first international study (N=684) we conducted within our research project on online dictionary use included very general questions on that topic. In this chapter, we present the corresponding results on questions like the use of both printed and online dictionaries as well as on the types of dictionaries used, devices used to access online dictionaries and some information regarding the willingness to pay for premium content. The data collected by us, show that our respondents both use printed and online dictionaries and, according to their self-report, many different kinds of dictionaries. In this context, our results revealed some clear cultural differences: in German-speaking areas spelling dictionaries are more common than in other linguistic areas, where thesauruses are widespread. Only a minority of our respondents is willing to pay for premium content, but most of the respondents are prepared to accept advertising. Our results also demonstrate that our respondents mainly tend to use dictionaries on big-screen devices, e.g. desktop computers or laptops.
