In this paper, we discuss to what extent the German-based contact language Unserdeutsch (Rabaul Creole German, cf. Volker 1982) matches the category‘creole language’ from both a socio-historical and structural perspective. As a point of reference, we will use typological criteria that are widely supposed to be typical for creole languages. It is shown that Unserdeutsch fits fairly well into the pattern of an ‘average creole’, as has been suggested by data in the Atlas of Pidgin and Creole Language Structures (Michaelis et al. 2013). This is despite a series of atypical conditions in its development that might lead us to expect a close structural proximity to the lexifier language, i.e. a relatively acrolectal creole. A possible explanation for this striking discrepancy can be found in the primary function of Unserdeutsch as a marker of identity as well as in the linguistic structure of its substrate language Tok Pisin.
This paper provides insights into the ongoing international research project Unserdeutsch (Rabaul Creole German): Documentation of a highly endangered creole language in Papua New Guinea, based at the University of Augsburg, Germany. It elaborates on the different stages of the project, ranging from fieldwork to corpus development, thereby outlining the methods and software background used for the intended purposes. In doing so, we also give some approaches to solving specific problems, which have arisen in the course of practical work until now.
This paper reports about current practice in a staged approach to the introduction of NLP principles and techniques for students of information science (IIM) and of international communication and translation (ICT) as part of their curricula. As most of these students are rather not familiar with computer science or, in the case of IIM students, linguistics, we see them as comparable with students of the humanities. We follow a blended learning strategy with lectures, online materials, tutorials, and screencasts. In the first two terms, we focus on linguistics and its formalisation, NLP tools and applications are then introduced from the third term on. The lectures are combined with tutorials and - since the summer term 2017 - with a set of screencasts.
Welche Sprachen sehen wir auf Schildern, Plakaten, Graffiti in der Öffentlichkeit? Wovon hängt es ab, an welchen Orten und in welchen Funktionen bestimmte sprachliche Varietäten zu finden sind? Wie spiegeln sich Mehrsprachigkeit in der Gesellschaft, Prestige von Sprachen und Machtverhältnisse von Sprechergruppen in den Texten im öffentlichen Raum?
Dieser Band widmet sich derartigen Fragen, die in der Sprachwissenschaft heute unter dem Schlagwort der Linguistic Landscapes untersucht werden, aus einer Perspektive der deutschen Sprache außerhalb des deutschsprachigen Kerngebietes. Welches – z. T. unerwartete – Auftreten des Deutschen lässt sich in Ländern wie Malta, Estland, Dänemark oder Tschechien beobachten? Was für Geschichten stehen dahinter und wie spiegeln sich in deutschen Texten und Symbolen historische Ereignisse und heutige Verbindungen zu den deutschsprachigen Ländern?
Gleichzeitig berichten die Beiträge des Bandes über Erfahrungen, die Präsenz der deutschen Sprache in der Öffentlichkeit zu Unterrichtszwecken und zum Sprachmarketing einzusetzen. Ob in Schule, Universität oder in der Werbung für Deutsch in der allgemeinen Öffentlichkeit – dieser in Anlehnung an ein Projekt auf Malta Spot German genannte Ansatz veranschaulicht nicht nur die Vielfalt der Rollen des Deutschen, er zeigt vor allem, dass Projekte zur deutschen Sprache Spaß machen und auf einfache Weise zur Nachahmung einladen können.
Skatesticker sind grafisch gestaltete Aufkleber, die von Skatelabels – den Herstellern von Skateboards und Zubehör – distribuiert werden. Ursprünglich zu reinen Werbezwecken produziert, haben sich Skatesticker als Symbole der Szene etabliert: Befragte Skater bekennen, dass Skatesticker ein „Ausdruck eines Lebensgefühls“, ein „visueller Eindruck unserer Gefühle“ und eine „[e]infache Möglichkeit[,] sich einer Gruppe zuzuordnen“ sind. Sie werden von Skatern gesammelt, gehandelt und wertgeschätzt. Die vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt einen bildwissenschaftlich orientierten Forschungsansatz, der es ermöglicht, die komplexen – oftmals bildende Kunst adaptierenden – Bildmotive dieser Grafikdesignobjekte und ihre zunehmend autonomisierten Funktionen als visuelle Medien einer Szene zu analysieren und anzuerkennen.
Data sets of publication meta data with manually disambiguated author names play an important role in current author name disambiguation (AND) research. We review the most important data sets used so far, and compare their respective advantages and shortcomings. From the results of this review, we derive a set of general requirements to future AND data sets. These include both trivial requirements, like absence of errors and preservation of author order, and more substantial ones, like full disambiguation and adequate representation of publications with a small number of authors and highly variable author names. On the basis of these requirements, we create and make publicly available a new AND data set, SCAD-zbMATH. Both the quantitative analysis of this data set and the results of our initial AND experiments with a naive baseline algorithm show the SCAD-zbMATH data set to be considerably different from existing ones. We consider it a useful new resource that will challenge the state of the art in AND and benefit the AND research community.
In conversation, turn-taking is usually fluid, with next speakers taking their turn right after the end of the previous turn. Most, but not all, previous studies show that next speakers start to plan their turn early, if possible already during the incoming turn. The present study makes use of the list-completion paradigm (Barthel et al., 2016), analyzing speech onset latencies and eye-movements of participants in a task-oriented dialogue with a confederate. The measures are used to disentangle the contributions to the timing of turn-taking of early planning of content on the one hand and initiation of articulation as a reaction to the upcoming turn-end on the other hand. Participants named objects visible on their computer screen in response to utterances that did, or did not, contain lexical and prosodic cues to the end of the incoming turn. In the presence of an early lexical cue, participants showed earlier gaze shifts toward the target objects and responded faster than in its absence, whereas the presence of a late intonational cue only led to faster response times and did not affect the timing of participants' eye movements. The results show that with a combination of eye-movement and turn-transition time measures it is possible to tease apart the effects of early planning and response initiation on turn timing. They are consistent with models of turn-taking that assume that next speakers (a) start planning their response as soon as the incoming turn's message can be understood and (b) monitor the incoming turn for cues to turn-completion so as to initiate their response when turn-transition becomes relevant.
