Three popular collections of essays concerning correct language use in German are reviewed from a linguist’s point of view. It is claimed that the overall picture of language that Sick conveys to the layperson is inadequate; in addition, the author fails to reflect explicitly on the purpose and consequences of his prescriptive approach to language use.
This paper presents the Lehnwortportal Deutsch, a new, freely accessible publication platform for resources on German lexical borrowings in other languages, to be launched in the second half of 2022. The system will host digital-native sources as well as existing, digitized paper dictionaries on loanwords, initially for some 15 recipient languages. All resources remain accessible as individual standalone dictionaries; in addition, data on words (etyma, loanwords etc.) together with their senses and relations to each other is represented as a cross-resource network in a graph database, with careful distinction between information present in the original sources and the curated portal network data resulting from matching and merging information on, e. g., lexical units appearing in multiple dictionaries. Special tooling is available for manually creating graphs from dictionary entries during digitization and for editing and augmenting the graph database. The user interface allows users to browse individual dictionaries, navigate through the underlying graph and ‘click together’ complex queries on borrowing constellations in the graph in an intuitive way. The web application will be available as open source.

We present the conceptual foundations and basic features of fLexiCoGraph, a generic software package for creating and presenting curated human-oriented lexicographical resources that are roughly modeled according to Měchura’s (2016) idea of graph-augmented trees. The system is currently under development and will be made accessible as open source software. As a sample use case we discuss an existing online database of loanwords borrowed from German into other languages which is based on a growing number of language-specific loanword dictionaries (Lehnwortportal Deutsch). The paper outlines the conceptual foundations of fLexiCoGraph’s hybrid graph/XML data model. To establish a database, XML-based resources may be imported or even input manually. An additional graph database layer is then constructed from these XML source documents in a freely configurable, but automated way; subsequently, the resulting graph can be manipulated and enlarged through a visual user interface in such a way that keeps the relationship to the source document information explicit at all times. We sketch the tooling support for different kinds of graph-level editing processes, including mechanisms for dealing with updated XML source documents and coping with duplicate or inconsistent information, and briefly discuss the browser interface for end users.
This paper reports on an ongoing international project of compiling a freely accessible online Dictionary of German Loans in Polish Dialects. The dictionary will be the first comprehensive lexicographic compendium of its kind, serving as a complement to existing resources on German lexical loans in the literary or standard language. The empirical results obtained in the project will shed new light on the distribution of German loanwords among different dialects, also in comparison to the well-documented situation in written Polish. The dictionary will have a strong focus on the dialectal distribution of Polish dialectal variants for a given German etymon, accessible through interactive cartographic representations and corresponding search options. The editorial process is realized with dedicated collaborative web tools. The new resource will be published as an integrated part of an online information system for German lexical borrowings in other languages, the Lehnwortportal Deutsch, and is therefore highly cross-linked with other loanword dictionaries on Polish as well as Slavic and further European languages.
Am 12. Mai 1965 nahmen der Staat Israel und die Bundesrepublik Deutschland offiziell diplomatische Beziehungen auf. Damit kam über 15 Jahre nach der Konstitution der beiden Länder und 20 Jahre nach dem Ende der Shoah ein komplexer Prozess der langsamen politischen Annäherung zu einem keineswegs selbstverständlichen Abschluss. Das fünfzigjährige Jubiläum dieses Ereignisses im Jahr 2015 war weltweit, vor allem aber in Israel und Deutschland, Anlass für zahlreiche Veranstaltungen, über die eine offizielle bilaterale Webseite <www.de50il.org/> (Stand: 6.11.2017) Auskunft gibt. Im Rahmen des Jubiläums wurde am 30. September 2015 in einer feierlichen Abendveranstaltung im Jüdischen Museum Berlin offiziell das „Wörterbuch deutscher Lehnwörter im Hebräischen“ von Uriel Adiv in einer ersten Fassung im „Lehnwortportal Deutsch“ des IDS freigeschaltet. Eine von Koautor Jakob Mendel erheblich überarbeitete und verbesserte zweite Version ging im Mai 2017 online. Der vorliegende Beitrag möchte einige Hintergründe zum deutschen Lehnwortschatz im modernen Hebräischen darstellen sowie die Entstehungsgeschichte des Werks und seinen Platz in der lehnwortlexikografischen Publikationsplattform „Lehnwortportal Deutsch“ <http://lwp.ids-mannheim.de/> (Stand: 6.11.2017) beleuchten.
