In our paper, we present a case study on the quality of concept relations in the manually developed terminological resource of grammis, an information system on German grammar. We assess a SKOS representation of the resource using the tool qSKOS, create a typology of the issues identified by the tool, and conduct a qualitative analysis of selected cases. We identify and discuss aspects that can motivate quality issues and uncover that ill-formed relations are frequently indicative of deeper issues in the data model. Finally, we outline how these findings can inform improvements in our resource’s data model, discussing implications for the machine readability of terminological data.
Gegenstand dieses Beitrags ist die Entwicklung des graphentheoretischen Analysetools Laniakea, das zur Visualisierung von Phänomenen und Veränderungen in terminologischen Netzwerken entwickelt wurde. Wir führen theoretische Grundlagen, Designentscheidungen und technische Details der Implementierung des Tools aus. Darüber hinaus wird auch eine Beschreibung von Erfahrungen im Fokus des Beitrages stehen, die bei der Anwendung von Laniakea bei der Überarbeitung der terminologischen Ressourcen des Grammatischen Informationssystems grammis, gesammelt wurden.
Einleitung
(2020)
A corpus-based academic grammar of German is an enormous undertaking, especially if it aims at using state-of-the-art methodology while ensuring that its study results are verifiable. The Bausteine-series, which is being developed at the Leibniz Institute for the German Language (IDS), presents individual “building blocks” for such a grammar. In addition to the peer-reviewed texts, the series publishes the results of statistical analyses and, for selected topics, the underlying data sets.
Bericht vom ersten nationalen Best-Practice-Workshop der deutschen Open-Access-Monografienfonds
(2020)
For a long time, the lecture dominated performatively presented scientific communication. Given academic traditions, it is possible to make a connection between the lecture and classical rhetoric, a highly differentiated instrument of analysis. The tradition of the lecture has been perpetuated in the presentation of research results, first in the use of transparencies and subsequently through computer-based projections. Yet the use of media technology has also allowed new practices to emerge, including mediation practices hitherto neglected in the theory of rhetoric.
Sprachkämpfe gibt es so manche, aber wer hätte gedacht, dass ausgerechnet das Erscheinen der 28. Auflage des Rechtschreibdudens die Gemüter so in Wallung versetzen würde, dass gleich mehrere davon in die nächste Runde gehen. Verlag und Redaktion werden auf die sprachpolitische Bühne gezerrt, weil man die deutsche Sprache so gut für Zwecke identitärer Politik instrumentalisieren kann.
„Revolutionen sind die Lokomotiven der Geschichte“, lautet ein berühmter Ausspruch von Karl Marx. Kann man dies auch auf die Sprachgeschichte übertragen? Und was sind deren Lokomotiven? Eine neuere These besagt, dass Pandemien, Kriege und andere “revolutionäre” Ereignisse mit starker Auswirkung auf die Demografie sprachhistorisches Geschehen in Gang setzen können.
Die Sprachpolitik der AfD
(2020)
Sprachpolitik hat sich in den letzten Jahren als ein lohnendes Politikfeld etabliert. Im Umfeld der AfD und in der parlamentarischen Repräsentanz der Partei werden durch Aufrufe, Anträge, Anfragen und Gesetzesinitiativen verschiedene Themen adressiert, die schon im AfD-Grundsatzprogramm von 2016 gesetzt wurden. Um was für sprachpolitische Positionen handelt es sich, und was ist der Grund für das Interesse an diesen Themen?

Usually, weak inflection of an attributive or nominalized adjective occurs if the adjective is preceded by an inflected determiner: mit diesem technischen Aufwand (‘at great technical expense’). Otherwise, the inflection of the adjective is strong: mit technischem Aufwand. Following this rule of thumb, we would expect strong inflection of an adjective following another adjective whenever the determiner is missing: mit hohem technischem Aufwand. But many German speakers opt for a weak dative singular ending -en following the strong ending -em on the first adjective: mit hohem technischen Aufwand. This chapter shows which explanatory variables play a role in this variation within standard German.
Interaktionale Semantik
(2020)
Der Beitrag stellt zunächst die drei grundlegenden methodischen Verfahren der Konversationsanalyse und der mittlerweile deren Vorgehen folgenden diskursiven Psychologie dar: die Transkription, die detaillierte Sequenzanalyse am Einzelfall und die (komparative) Analyse von Datenkollektionen. Nach einer Übersicht über grundlegende Befunde zur Organisation von Interaktionen wird auf drei psychologische Untersuchungsbereiche eingegangen: Die Konstitution von Identität in Gesprächen, die Rolle von Kognitionen in der sozialen Interaktion und die Erforschung von Psychotherapiegesprächen.
Using video-recordings from one day of a theater project for young adults, this paper investigates how the meaning of novel verbal expressions is interactionally constituted and elaborated over the interactional history of a series of activities. We examine how the theater director introduces and instructs the group in the Chekhovian technique of acting, which is based on “imagining with the body,” and how the imaginary elements of the technique are “brought into existence” in the language of the instructions. By tracking shifts in the instructor’s use of the key expressions invisible/imaginary/inner body or movement through a series of exercises, we demonstrate how they are increasingly treated as real and perceivable bodily conduct. The analyses focus on the instructor’s attribution of factual and agentive properties to these expressions, and the changes that these properties undergo over the series of instructions. This case demonstrates the significance of longitudinal processes for the establishment of shared meaning in social interaction. The study thereby contributes to the field of interactional semantics and to longitudinal studies of social interaction.
According to Positioning Theory, participants in narrative interaction can position themselves on a representational level concerning the autobiographical, told self, and a performative level concerning the interactive and emotional self of the tellers. The performative self is usually much harder to pin down, because it is a non-propositional, enacted self. In contrast to everyday interaction, psychotherapists regularly topicalize the performative self explicitly. In our paper, we study how therapists respond to clients' narratives by interpretations of the client's conduct, shifting from the autobiographical identity of the told self, which is the focus of the client's story, to the present performative self of the client. Drawing on video recordings from three psychodynamic therapies (tiefenpsychologisch fundierte Psychotherapie) with 25 sessions each, we will analyze in detail five extracts of therapists' shifts from the representational to the performative self. We highlight four findings:
• Whereas, clients' narratives often serve to support identity claims in terms of personal psychological and moral characteristics, therapists rather tend to focus on clients' feelings, motives, current behavior, and ways of interacting.
• In response to clients' stories, therapists first show empathy and confirm clients' accounts, before shifting to clients' performative self.
• Therapists ground the shift to clients' performative self by references to clients' observable behavior.
• Therapists do not simply expect affiliation with their views on clients' performative self. Rather, they use such shifts to promote the clients' self-exploration. Yet, if clients resist to explore their selves in more detail, therapists more explicitly ascribe motives and feelings that clients do not seem to be aware of. The shift in positioning levels thus seems to have a preparatory function for engendering therapeutic insights.
Interaktive Emergenz und Stabilisierung. Zur Entstehung kollektiver Kreativität in Theaterproben
(2020)
Coaching outcome research convincingly argues that coaching is effective and facilitates change in clients. While coaching practice literature depicts questions as key vehicle for such change, empirical findings as regards the local and global change potential of questions are so far largely missing in both (psychological) outcome research and (linguistic and psychological) process research on coaching. The local change potential of questions refers to a turn-by-turn transformation as a result of their sequentiality, the global change potential is related to the power of questions to initiate, process and finalize established phases of change. This programmatic article on questions, or rather questioning sequences, in executive coaching pursues two goals: firstly, it takes stock of available insights into questions in coaching and advocates for Conversation Analysis as a fruitful methodological framework to assess the local change potential of questioning sequences. Secondly, it points to the limitations of a local turn-by-turn approach to unravel the overall change potential of questions and calls for an interdisciplinary approach to bring both local and global effectiveness into relation. Such an approach is premised on conversational sequentiality and psychological theories of change and facilitates research on questioning sequences as both local and global agents of change across the continuum of coaching sessions. We present the TSPP Model as a first result of such an interdisciplinary cooperation.
As part of a larger research paradigm on understanding client change in the helping professions from an interprofessional perspective, this paper applies a conversation analytic approach to investigate therapists’ requesting examples (REs) and their interactional and sequential contribution to clients’ change during the diagnostic evaluation process. The analyzed data comprises 15 videotaped intake interviews that followed the system of Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis. Therapists’ requesting examples in psychodiagnostic interviews explicitly or implicitly criticize the patient’s prior turn as insufficient. They also open a retro-sequence and in the following turns provide for a description that helps clarify meaning and evince psychic or relational aspects of the topic at hand. While the therapist’s prior request initiates the patient’s insufficient presentation, the patient’s example presentation is regularly followed by the therapist’s summarizing comments or by further requests. Requesting examples thus are a particular case of requests that follow expandable responses regarding the sequential organization; yet, given that they make examples conditionally relevant, they are more specific. With the help of this sequential organization, participants co-construct common knowledge which allows the therapist to pursue the overall aim of therapy, which is to increase the patients’ awareness of their distorted perceptions, and thus to pave the way for change.
The newest generation of speech technology caused a huge increase of audio-visual data nowadays being enhanced with orthographic transcripts such as in automatic subtitling in online platforms. Research data centers and archives contain a range of new and historical data, which are currently only partially transcribed and therefore only partially accessible for systematic querying. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is one option of making that data accessible. This paper tests the usability of a state-of-the-art ASR-System on a historical (from the 1960s), but regionally balanced corpus of spoken German, and a relatively new corpus (from 2012) recorded in a narrow area. We observed a regional bias of the ASR-System with higher recognition scores for the north of Germany vs. lower scores for the south. A detailed analysis of the narrow region data revealed – despite relatively high ASR-confidence – some specific word errors due to a lack of regional adaptation. These findings need to be considered in decisions on further data processing and the curation of corpora, e.g. correcting transcripts or transcribing from scratch. Such geography-dependent analyses can also have the potential for ASR-development to make targeted data selection for training/adaptation and to increase the sensitivity towards varieties of pluricentric languages.
Fragen sind zentrale Interventionen im Coaching. Trotzdem gibt es kaum Erkenntnisse darüber, wie sie zur Veränderung bei Klientinnen und Klienten beitragen. Mit ihrem Fokus auf die sequenzielle Abfolge von Äußerungen wie „Frage – Antwort – Reaktion“ kann die linguistische Gesprächsanalyse dieses Veränderungspotenzial von Fragen beschreiben und so auch für die (Weiterbildungs-)Praxis oder Personalwirtschaft zugänglich machen.
Lean syntax: how argument structure is adapted to its interactive, material, and temporal ecology
(2020)
It has often been argued that argument structure in spoken discourse is less complex than in written discourse. This paper argues that lean argument structure, in particular, argument omission, gives evidence of how the production and understanding of linguistic structures is adapted to the interactive, material, and temporal ecology of talk-in-interaction. It is shown how lean argument structure builds on participants' ongoing bodily conduct, joint perceptual salience, joint attention, and their Orientation to expectable next actions within a joint project. The phenomena discusscd in this paper are verb-derived discourse markers and tags, analepsis in responsive actions, and ellipsis in first actions, such as requests and instructions. The study draws from transcripts and audio- and video-recordings of naturally occurring interaction in German from the Research and Teaching Corpus of Spoken German (FOLK).
This article makes an empirical and a methodological contribution to the comparative study of action. The empirical contribution is a comparative study of three distinct types of action regularly accomplished with the turn format du meinst x (“you mean/think x”) in German: candidate understandings, formulations of the other’s mind, and requests for a judgment. These empirical materials are the basis for a methodological exploration of different levels of researcher abstraction in the comparative study of action. Two levels are examined: the (coarser) level of conditionally relevant responses (what a response speaker must do to align with the action of the prior turn) and the (finer) level of “full alignment” (what a response speaker can do to align with the action of a prior turn). Both levels of abstraction provide empirically viable and analytically interesting descriptive concepts for the comparative study of action. Data are in German.
In diesem Beitrag werden exemplarisch verschiedene potenzielle Gebrauchsmuster mit dem deutschen Lemma wissen gesammelt und ihre in der Fachliteratur vorgelegten interaktionslinguistisch-funktionalen Beschreibungen für einen Strukturierungsversuch genutzt. Im Zentrum steht ein multifunktionaler handlungsorientierter Ansatz zur Beschreibung von Interaktion im Gespräch. Der Beitrag greift dabei Überlegungen auf, die im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts Lexik des gesprochenen Deutsch (= LeGeDe) zur Erstellung einer korpusbasierten lexikogra- fischen Ressource lexikalischer Besonderheiten des gesprochenen Deutsch in der Interaktion thematisiert wurden.

Am Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache (IDS) wurde im Programmbereich „Lexikografie und Sprachdokumentation“ ein neuartiges Wörterbuch entwickelt, das leicht verwechselbare Ausdrücke in ihrem aktuellen öffentlichen Sprachgebrauch deskriptiv beschreibt. Im Jahr 2018 erschien das elektronische Nachschlagewerk „Paronyme – Dynamisch im Kontrast“, das sich durch folgende drei Aspekte auszeichnet:
1) Erstens liegen mehrstufige kontrastive Beschreibungsebenen und flexible Darstellungsformen vor;
2) zweitens sind die Bedeutungserläuterungen kognitiv-konzeptuell angelegt, um einer langen Forderung nach einer stärker kognitiv ausgerichteten Lexikografie Rechnung zu tragen;
3) drittens werden Datengrundlagen und Analysemethoden genutzt, mit denen umfassend Paronyme ermittelt und diese anschließend erstmals empirisch ausgewertet werden konnten.
Aus diesem Grunde haben wir uns empirisch der Frage genähert, wie oder ob bestimmte Gruppen heute überhaupt noch Wörterbücher nutzen und ob sie sie bewusst von anderen sprachbezogenen Daten im Web unterscheiden. Es sollten empirische Daten gesammelt werden, um zu erfahren, wie DaF-Lernende tatsächlich arbeiten (und nicht was sie dazu retrospektiv sagen), vor allem um eine bessere empirische Basis für den Unterricht zur Verfügung zu haben. Zentrale Fragen dabei waren:
• Wie nutzen DaF-Lernende heutzutage lexikografische Ressourcen?
• Welche Suchstrategien wenden sie an?
• Differenzieren sie zwischen den unterschiedlichen Ressourcen?
• Welche Strategien erweisen sich als besonders erfolgreich?

Terminologiearbeit im wirtschaftlichen Kontext geht von zwei Arbeitsphasen aus: einer umfassenden deskriptiven Phase, in der die Begriffsstruktur und der aktuelle Terminologiegebrauch erfasst, aber noch nicht bewertet werden, sowie einer präskriptiven Phase, in der der eigentliche Standardisierungseingriff erfolgt. In der Praxis wird die deskriptive Phase oft reduziert und der Schwerpunkt unmittelbar auf die Präskription gelegt. In unserem Beitrag diskutieren wir das Potenzial, das eine ausführliche deskriptive Terminologiearbeit zur Verbesserung der Wissenskommunikation im Rahmen des Wissensmanagements birgt. Am Beispiel eines wissenschaftlichen Projektes im Bereich Grammatik des Deutschen zeigen wir, wie diese eng an der Theorie orientierte Ausgestaltung der Deskription in der Praxis aussieht, welche Herausforderungen sie mit sich bringt und wie ihre Ergebnisse das Wissensmanagement unterstützen können.
This chapter begins with a sketch of the specifics of our approach, an overview of the contents of the chapters on word formation and some methodological notes. It then discusses the general characteristics of word formations and of their overall inventory, comparing word formations to primary words. Furthermore, the chapter explores the relative frequencies of word formations in different vocabulary areas and traces the word formation profiles of individual parts of speech. Finally, it compiles the characteristic word formation rules for different parts of speech.
