This paper presents a short insight into a new project at the "Institute for the German Language” (IDS) (Mannheim). It gives an insight into some basic ideas for a corpus-based dictionary of spoken German, which will be developed and compiled by the new project "The Lexicon of spoken German” (Lexik des gesprochenen Deutsch, LeGeDe). The work is based on the "Research and Teaching Corpus of Spoken German” (Forschungs- und Lehrkorpus Gesprochenes Deutsch, FOLK), which is implemented in the "Database for Spoken German” (Datenbank für Gesprochenes Deutsch, DGD). Both resources, the database and the corpus, have been developed at the IDS.
So far, there have been few descriptions on creating structures capable of storing lexicographic data, ISO 24613:2008 being one of the latest. Another one is by Spohr (2012), who designs a multifunctional lexical resource which is able to store data of different types of dictionaries in a user-oriented way. Technically, his design is based on the principle of a hierarchical XML/OWL (eXtensible Markup Language/Web Ontology Language) representation model. This article follows another route in describing a model based on entities and relations between them; MySQL (usually referred to as: Structured Query Language) describes a database system of tables containing data and definitions of relations between them. The model was developed in the context of the project "Scientific eLexicography for Africa" and the lexicographic database to be built thereof will be implemented with MySQL. The principles of the ISO model and of Spohr's model are adhered to with one major difference in the implementation strategy: we do not place the lemma in the centre of attention, but the sense description — all other elements, including the lemma, depend on the sense description. This article also describes the contained lexicographic data sets and how they have been collected from different sources. As our aim is to compile several prototypical internet dictionaries (a monolingual Northern Sotho dictionary, a bilingual learners' Xhosa–English dictionary and a bilingual Zulu–English dictionary), we describe the necessary microstructural elements for each of them and which principles we adhere to when designing different ways of accessing them. We plan to make the model and the (empty) database with all graphical user interfaces that have been developed, freely available by mid-2015.
In this paper we present a new approach to lexicographical design for the description of German speech act verbs. This approach is based on an action-theoretical semantic conception. The several conditions for linguistic action provide the basis for the elaboration of the central semantic features. The systematic relationship of these features is reflected in the organization of a lexical database which allows various possibilities of access to different types of lexical information.
In the following paper we shall give an outline of the semantic framework for describing speech act verbs, i. e. verbs of communication, with the practical goal of a semantical database for a (dictionary of) synonymy of German speech act verbs which enables the user not only to find a list of synonymous verbs but also enables him to gain an insight into the semantic relations between the words.
The semantic framework is based on
(i) a set of conditions for performing speech acts as the relevant domain of reference
(ii) the introduction of a notion of situation, or better type of situation
The performative as well as the descriptive use of the verbs can be reduced to their fundamental dependency on the situations in which they are used: on the one hand with regard to the possibility of the action itself, and on the other hand with regard to the possibility of their designation. For both ways of use the relevant aspects of the situation constitute the necessary conditions.
Almanca tuhfe / Deutsches Geschenk (1916) oder: Wie schreibt man deutsch mit arabischen Buchstaben?
(2022)
Versified dictionaries are bilingual/multilingual glossaries written in verse form to teach essential words in any foreign language. In Islamic culture, versified dictionaries were produced to teach the Arabic language to the young generations of Muslim communities not native in Arabic. In the course of time, many bilingual/multilingual versified dictionaries were written in different languages throughout the Islamic world. The focus of this study is on the Turkish-German versified dictionary titled Almanca Tuhfe / Deutsches Geschenk [German Gift], published by Dr. Sherefeddin Pasha in Istanbul in 1916. This dictionary is the only dictionary in verse ever written combining these two languages. Moreover the dictionary is one of the few texts containing German words written in Arabic letters (applying Ottoman spelling conventions). The study concentrates on the way German words are spelled and tries to find out, whether Sherefeddin Pasha applied something like fixed rules to write the German lexemes.
So far, Sepedi negations have been considered more from the point of view of lexicographical treatment. Theoretical works on Sepedi have been used for this purpose, setting as an objective a neat description of these negations in a (paper) dictionary. This paper is from a different perspective: instead of theoretical works, corpus linguistic methods are used: (1) a Sepedi corpus is examined on the basis of existing descriptions of the occurrences of a relevant verb, looking at its negated forms from a purely prescriptive point of view; (2) a "corpus-driven" strategy is employed, looking only for sequences of negation particles (or morphemes) in order to list occurring constructions, without taking into account the verbs occurring in them, apart from their endings. The approach in (2) is only intended to show a possible methodology to extend existing theories on occurring negations. We would also like to try to help lexicographers to establish a frequency-based order of entries of possible negation forms in their dictionaries by showing them the number of respective occurrences. As with all corpus linguistic work, however, we must regard corpus evidence not as representative, but as tendencies of language use that can be detected and described. This is especially true for Sepedi, for which only few and small corpora exist. This paper also describes the resources and tools used to create the necessary corpus and also how it was annotated with part of speech and lemmas. Exploring the quality of available Sepedi part-of-speech taggers concerning verbs, negation morphemes and subject concords may be a positive side result.
In this paper, the author studies the role of the dictionary in the first language acquisition, highlighting its didactic value. Based on two Romanian lexicographical works of the 19th century, Lexiconul de la Buda (Buda, 1825) [the Lexicon of Buda] et Vocabularu romano-francesu (Bucarest, 1870) [the Romanian-French Vocabulary], the author analyses the normative information recorded in the articles in order to observe which level of language (i. e. phonetical, morphological, syntactical and lexical) is concerned. Such an approach allows to distinguish between the possible changings both at the level of the perception or at the grammatical, lexical and semantical description, i. e. the settlement of the word in the first language, and at a technical level, i. e. the making of article and of dictionary.
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.
This paper discusses changes in lexicographic traditions with respect to contrastive dictionary entries and dynamic, on-demand e-lexicographic descriptions. The new German online dictionary Paronyme - Dyna- misch im Kontrast is concerned with easily confused words (paronyms), such as effektivtefficient and sensibel/ sensitiv. New approaches to the empirical analysis and lexicographic presentation of words such as these are required, and this dictionary is committed to overcoming the discrepancy between traditional practice and insights from language use. As a corpus-guided reference work, it strives to adequately reflect not only authentic use in situations of actual communication, but also cognitive ideas such as conceptual structure, categorization and knowledge. Looking up easily confused lexical items requires contrastive entries where users can instantly compare meaning, contexts and reference. Adaptable access to lexicographic details and variable search options offer different foci and perspectives on linguistic information, and authentic examples reflect prototypical structures. These are essential in order to meet all the different interests of users. This paper will illustrate the contrastive structure of the new e-dictionary and demonstrate which information can be compared. It also focusses on various dynamic modes of dictionary consultation, which enable users to shift perspectives on paronyms accordingly.
This paper focuses on standardological and lexicographical aspects of Coronavirus-related neologisms in Croatian. The presented results are based on corpus analysis. The initial corpus for this analysis consists of terms collected for the Glossary of Coronavirus. This corpus has been supplemented by terms we collected on the Internet and from the media. The General Croatian corpora: Croatian Web Corpus – hrWaC (cf. Ljubešić/Klubička 2016) and Croatian Language Repository (cf. Brozović Rončević/Ćavar 2008: 173–186) were also used, but since they do not include neologisms that entered the language after 2013, they could be used only to check terms in the language before that time. From October 2021, a specialized Corona corpus compiled by Štrkalj Despot and Ostroški Anić (2021) became publicly available on request. The data from these corpora are analyzed by Sketch Engine (cf. Kilgarriff et al. 2004: 105–116), a corpus query system loaded with the corpora, enabling the display of lexeme context through concordances and (differential) word sketches and the extraction of keywords (terms) and N-grams. The most common collocations are sorted into syntactic categories. For English equivalents, in addition to the sources found on the Internet, enTenTen2020 corpus was consulted. In the second part of the paper, we analyze and compare the presentation of Coronavirus terminology in the descriptive Glossary of Coronavirus and the normative Croatian Web Dictionary – Mrežnik.
Within the scope of the project "Study and dissemination of COVID-19 terminology", the study reported here aims to detect, analyse and discuss the characteristics of COVID-19 terminology, in particular the role of the adjective novo [new] in this terminology, the high recurrence of terms in the plural and the resemantization of some of the terminological units used. The present paper also discusses how these characteristics influenced the choices that have guided the creation of the proposed dictionary. This paper presents, therefore, the results of the analyses of these aspects, starting with a discussion of the relation between terminology and neology and arriving at the characteristic aspects of the macrostructural and microstructural choices about which some considerations were made.
Lexicographers working with minority languages face many challenges. When the language in question is also a sign language, circumstances specific to the visual-spatial modality have to be taken into consideration as well. In this paper, we aim to show and discuss which challenges we encounter while compiling the Digitales Wörterbuch der Deutschen Gebärdensprache (DW-DGS), the first corpus-based dictionary of German Sign Language (DGS). Some parallel the challenges minority language lexicographers of spoken languages encounter, e. g. few resources, no written tradition, and having to create one dictionary for all potential user groups, while others are specific to sign languages, e. g. representation of visual-spatial language and creating access structures for the dictionary.
Except for some recent advances in spoken language lexicography (cf. Verdonik & Sepesy Maučec 2017, Hansen & Hansen 2012, Siepmann 2015), traditional lexicographic work is mainly oriented towards the written language. In this paper, we describe a method we used to identify relevant headword candidates for a lexicographic resource for spoken language that is currently being developed at the Institute for the German Language (IDS, Mannheim). We describe the challenges of the headword selection for a dictionary of spoken language, and having made considerations regarding our headword concept, we present the corpus-based procedures that we used in order to facilitate the headword selection. After presenting the results regarding the selection of one-word lemmas, we discuss the opportunities and limitations of our approach.
Zweisprachige Neologismenwörterbücher, die den neuen Wortschatz der Ausgangssprache eines bestimmten Zeitraumes erfassen und Bedeutungserklärungen und/oder Äquivalente in der Zielsprache anbieten, können dem Deutschlerner beim Sprachenerwerb eine große Hilfe sein. Sie präsentieren den Wortschatz, der in zweisprachigen Gesamtwörterbüchern in der Regel noch nicht erfasst ist, und unterstützen damit den Lerner bei der Textrezeption. Auch für die Textproduktion sind sie geeignet, wenn der Darstellung von Bedeutung und Gebrauch angemessen Raum gegeben wird. Diese Möglichkeiten werden am Beispiel des Deutsch-russischen Neologismenwörterbuches erläutert. Das Wörterbuch umfasst den Zeitraum 1991 – 2010. Es ist mit seinen knapp 2000 Stichwörtern für den neuen Wortschatz im Deutschen primär als passives Wörterbuch angelegt, d.h. es richtet sich in erster Linie an deutschlernende bzw. -beherrschende russischsprachige Benutzer. Es bietet zwei Vorteile: Zum einen finden die Benutzer hier den neuen Wortschatz, den sie in allgemeinen zweisprachigen Wörterbüchern in der Regel vergeblich suchen. Zum anderen ist dem allgemein großen Informationsbedarf durch eine explizite Beschreibung Rechnung getragen, weil das Platzangebot hier aufgrund der – im Vergleich zu einem allgemeinsprachlichen Gesamtwörterbuch – geringeren Stichwortzahl relativ großzügig bemessen ist. Die Spezifika des Wortartikelaufbaus, die auch durch den besonderen Charakter des zweisprachigen Neologismenwörterbuches bestimmt sind, werden näher erläutert. Die Autoren haben die Erwartung, dass das zweisprachige Neologismenwörterbuch bei den Deutschlernern den Wunsch weckt, Neues im deutschen Wortschatz nachzuschlagen, und dass es dazu beiträgt, die interkulturelle Kompetenz zu fördern.
Das elexiko-Portal: Ein neuer Zugang zu lexikografischen Arbeiten am Institut für Deutsche Sprache
(2007)
Das elexiko-Portal soll verschiedene lexikografische Projekte des IDS in einem Verbund zusammenführen und - soweit das die Inhalte zulassen - gemeinsame Recherchemöglichkeiten über verschiedene lexikografische Produkte hinweg bieten. In diesem Aufsatz geht es v. a. darum zu zeigen, wie die XML-basierte Modellierung für das Portal aufgebaut ist, um zum einen die Basis für diese flexiblen Zugriffsstrukturen zu legen und zum anderen der Verschiedenheit der beteiligten Projekte Rechnung zu tragen. Gleichzeitig werden Perspektiven für eine flexiblere Darstellung der Daten und für die zukünftige Weiterentwicklung von Recherchemöglichkeiten aufgezeigt.
Das Lexikon der Sprachkritik
(2009)
Viele Überlegungen wurden zu einem Projekt Lexikon der Sprachkritik angestellt und vorläufige Konzepte dafür erdacht. Zu einer Konkretisierung dieser Bemühungen ist es aber bisher leider nicht gekommen. Dieser Beitrag stellt nun einen Versuch dar, ein vorläufiges Konzept für ein Lexikon der Sprachkritik vorzulegen. Es handelt sich hierbei um die Begründung für dieses Unternehmen, die Darstellung der Vorarbeiten zu einem Lexikon der Sprachkritik, die Explizierung der Konzeption und der Lemmaauswahl und die exemplarische Ausarbeitung von vier Artikeln.
Den Wortschatz einer Sprache auf hohem Niveau zu dokumentieren und in all seinen Eigenschaften zu beschreiben, ist gleichermaßen wichtig wie schwierig. Verschiedene Gründe haben dazu geführt, dass die Tradition der großen Wörterbücher derzeit zusammenbricht. An ihre Stelle werden in der Zukunft flexibel handhabbare digitale lexikalische Systeme treten.
Ein Defizit der lexikographischen Methodologie liegt in der fehlenden Berücksichtigung der historischen, sozialen und politischen Gebundenheit von Wörterbüchern vor, obwohl die Wörterbuchkritik seit dem 19. Jh. immer wieder darauf aufmerksam gemacht hat. In der Perspektive der Benutzer besitzen Wörterbücher eine aspektenreiche kulturelle Semiotik, die mit dem hermeneutischen Charakter lexikologisch-lexikographischen Arbeitens zusammenhängt. Ausgehend vom Modell der Hermeneutik wird dafür plädiert, »Verstehenskompetenz« anstelle von »Sprachkompetenz« (des Linguisten) als Kategorie in die Theorie der Lexikographie einzuführen.
Deutsch-russisches Neologismenwörterbuch. Neuer Wortschatz im Deutschen, 1991-2010. Bd. 1 - 2 (A-Z)
(2016)
Dieses Wörterbuch, das auf dem ersten größeren Neologismenwörterbuch für das Deutsche fußt, schließt eine Lücke in der deutsch-russischen Wörterbuchlandschaft: Es präsentiert dem Benutzer den neuen deutschen Wortschatz, den er in anderen Wörterbüchern meist vergeblich sucht. Enthalten sind fast 2000 neue Wörter (z.B. Kletterwald, scrollen), neue feste Wortverbindungen (z.B. etw. in die Tonne treten, der Drops ist gelutscht) und neue Bedeutungen etablierter Wörter (z.B. halbrund, Stolperstein), von denen rund 1350 umfassend lexikografisch beschrieben sind. Die vielen Verknüpfungen zwischen den Stichwörtern ermöglichen Einblicke in die Vernetztheit des neuen Wortschatzes und leisten so einen wichtigen Beitrag für den Wortschatzerwerb.
Es gibt triftige theoretische und praktische Gründe — wir werden im Weiteren auf sie eingehen —, die Diskussion um die Funktion von Rechtschreibwörterbüchern und um ihre Gestaltung in Bezug auf das Deutsche zu führen. Das Erscheinen der „20., völlig neu bearbeitete[n] und erweiterte] Auflage“ der „Rechtschreibung der deutschen Sprache“ (Dudenverlag Mannheim/Leipzig/Wien/Zürich 1991) ist der äußere Anlass, um diese Diskussion in der ZGL zu eröffnen.
Deutsches Fremdwörterbuch
(2003)
Electronic dictionaries should support dictionary users by giving them guidance in text production and text reception, alongside a user-definable offer of lexicographic data for cognitive purposes. In this article, we sketch the principles of an interactive and dynamic electronic dictionary aimed at text production and text reception guiding users in innovative ways, especially with respect to difficult, complicated or confusing issues. The lexicographer has to do a very careful analysis of the nature of the possible problems to suggest an optimal solution for a specific problem. We are of the opinion that there are numerous complex situations where users need more detailed support than currently available in e-dictionaries, enabling them to make valid and correct choices. For highly complex situations, we suggest guidance through a decision tree-like device. We assume that the solutions proposed here are not specific to one language only but can, after careful analysis, be applied to e-dictionaries in different languages across the world.
In foreign language teaching the use of dictionaries, especially bilingual, has always been related to the hypotheses concerning the relationship between the native language (L1) and second language acquisition method. If the bilingual dictionary was an obvious tool in the grammar-translation method, it was banned from the classroom in the direct, audiolingual and audiovisual methods. Also in the communicative method, foreign language learners are discouraged from using a dictionary. Its use should not obstruct the goals of communicatively oriented foreign language learning – a view still held by many foreign language teachers. Nevertheless, the reality has been different: Foreign language learners have always used dictionaries, even if they no longer possess a print dictionary and mainly use online resources and applications. Dictionaries and online resources will continue to play an important role in the future. In the Council of Europe’s language policy, with its emphasis on multilingualism and lifelong learning, the adequate use of reference tools as a strategic skill is highlighted. In several European countries, educational guidelines refer to the use of dictionaries in the context of media literacy, both in mother tongue and foreign language teaching. Not only is their adequate use important, but so too is the comparison, assessment and evaluation of the information presented, in order to develop Language Awareness and Language Learning Awareness. This is good news. However, does this mean that dictionaries are actually used in class? What role do dictionaries play in foreign language teaching in schools and universities? Are foreign language learners in the digital era really competent users? And how competent are their teachers? Are they familiar with the current (online) dictionary landscape? Can they support their students? After a more in-depth study of the status quo of dictionary use by foreign language learners and teachers and the gap between their needs and the reality, this contribution discusses the challenges facing lexicographers and meta-lexicographers and what educational policy measures are necessary to make their efforts worthwhile in turning foreign language learners – and their teachers – into competent users in a multilingual and digital world.
Die Wortbildungsangaben im Online-Wörterbuch und wie Nutzer sie beurteilen – eine Umfrage zu elexiko
(2013)
Der vorliegende Beitrag betrachtet das Thema der Wortbildung im Online-Wörterbuch aus der Perspektive der Wörterbuchbenutzer. Zunächst werden an einzelnen Beispielen die unterschiedlichen Angabebereiche im Internetwörterbuch und die verschiedenen Arten der Wortbildungsangaben aufgezeigt, auf die ein Wörterbuchbenutzer beim Nachschlagen stoßen kann (Kap. 2). Daran anschließend werden mit elexiko und BZVelexiko kurz die beiden Projekte vorgestellt, die an den Mannheimer Nutzerumfragen beteiligt waren. Schließlich werden die Ergebnisse zweier Online-Befragungen präsentiert, die Anfang 2011 am Institut für Deutsche Sprache durchgeführt wurden und an denen insgesamt über 1 100 Personen teilnahmen. In diesem Kontext stehen dabei allein die Teilergebnisse zum Thema Wortbildung im Mittelpunkt (Kap. 3). Ein Ausblick auf die weitere geplante Forschung rundet den Beitrag ab (Kap. 4).
Das Duden-Aussprachewörterbuch ist das Standardwerk zu Fragen der Aussprache und Betonung des Deutschen. Die 8. Auflage wurde um über 4000 Stichwörter erweitert und enthält 144.000 Aussprachen zu Wörtern und Namen, inklusive im Deutschen gebräuchlicher Fremdwörter und fremdsprachlicher Namen. Alle Stichwörter wurden vertont und die Audios sind als Download verfügbar. Ein ausführliches Kapitel beschreibt die Regeln der Lautung und in zahlreichen Infokästen finden sich Informationen zu Aussprachephänomenen wie der Sprechpause beim Gendern. Das Wörterbuch entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache in Mannheim.
Am 30. Mai dieses Jahres wird in der Universitätsbibliothek Basel eine kleine Ausstellung eröffnet anlässlich des 250. Todestages von Johann Jakob Spreng (24. 5. 1768), des ersten Professors der Germanistik (deutsche Poesie und Beredtsamkeit) an der Universität. Thema der Ausstellung ist die seit zwei Jahren in Gang befindliche erstmalige Edition des Allgemeinen deutschen Glossariums von J. J. Spreng, das bis vor kurzem in den Katakomben der Universitätsbibliothek zwar wohlbehütet, aber ungedruckt, über 250 Jahre von der Wissenschaft unentdeckt geblieben ist.
