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.
We present an empirical study addressing the question whether, and to which extent, lexicographic writing aids improve text revision results. German university students were asked to optimise two German texts using (1) no aids at all, (2) highlighted problems, or (3) highlighted problems accompanied by lexicographic resources that could be used to solve the specific problems. We found that participants from the third group corrected the largest number of problems and introduced the fewest semantic distortions during revision. Also, they reached the highest overall score and were most efficient (as measured in points per time). The second group with highlighted problems lies between the two other groups in almost every measure we analysed. We discuss these findings in the scope of intelligent writing environments, the effectiveness of writing aids in practical usage situations and teaching dictionary skills.
This paper discusses changes of lexicographic traditions with respect to approaches to meaning descriptions towards more cognitive perspectives. I will uncover how cognitive aspects can be incorporated into meaning descriptions based on corpus-driven analysis. The new German Online dictionary “Paronyme − Dynamisch im Kontrast” (Storjohann 2014; 2016) is concerned with easily confused words such as effektiv/effizient, sensibel/sensitiv. It is currently in the process of being developed and it aims at adopting a more conceptual and encyclopaedic approach to meaning by incorporating cognitive features. As a corpus-guided reference work it strives to adequately reflect ideas such as conceptual structure, categorisation and knowledge. Contrastive entries emphasise aspects of usage, comparing conceptual categories and indicate the (metonymic) mapping of knowledge. Adaptable access to lexicographic details and variable search options offer different foci and perspectives on linguistic information, and authentic examples reflect prototypical structures. Some of the cognitive features are demonstrated with the help of examples. Firstly, I will outline how patterns of usage imply conceptual categories as central ideas instead of sufficiently logical criteria of semantic distinction. In this way, linguistic findings correlate better with how users conceptualise language. Secondly, it is pointed out how collocates are treated as family members and fillers in contexts. Thirdly, I will demonstrate how contextual structure and functions are included summarising referential information. Details are drawn from corpus data, they are usage-based linguistic patterns illustrating conversational interaction and semantic negotiations in contemporary public discourse. Finally, I will outline consultation routines which activate different facets of structural knowledge, e.g. through changes of the ordering of information or through the visualisation of semantic networks.
Este artículo expone a partir de una serie de ejemplos diferentes situaciones de uso del diccionario bilingüe que evidencian la importancia de llevar a cabo una adecuada adquisición y desarrollo de las competencias lexicográficas en el contexto de enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras y, en este caso en concreto, del alemán como lengua extranjera. Con este propósito se parte de tres competencias básicas: la selección de la obra lexicográfica adecuada según la situación comunicativa, la desambiguación pertinente en el contexto de la recepción en L2 y traducción de L2 a L1 y la selección y uso del equivalente en el contexto de la producción y traducción en la L2. El objetivo de esta aportación es poner de manifiesto la necesidad de identificar adecuadamente por parte del usuario de un recurso lexicográfico bilingüe la información lexicológica pertinente a la forma, contenido y uso de los lemas consultados tanto en la situación de recepción y producción en L2 como en el contexto de la traducción de y a L2.
Am 1. September 2016 hat das Forschungsprojekt „Lexik des gesprochenen Deutsch“ (= LeGeDe) am Institut für Deutsche Sprache in Mannheim als Kooperationsprojekt der Abteilungen Pragmatik und Lexik seine Arbeit aufgenommen. Dieses drittmittelgeförderte Projekt der Leibniz-Gemeinschaft (Leibniz-Wettbewerb 2016; Förderlinie 1: Innovative Vorhaben) hat eine Laufzeit von drei Jahren (1.9.2016-31.8.2019) und besteht aus einem Team von Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern aus den Bereichen Lexikologie, Lexikografie, Gesprächsforschung, Korpus- und Computerlinguistik sowie Empirische Methoden. Im folgenden Beitrag werden neben Informationen zu den Eckdaten des Projekts, zu den unterschiedlichen Ausgangspunkten, dem Gegenstandsbereich, den Zielen sowie der LeGeDe-Datengrundlage vor allem einige grundlegende Forschungsfragen und methodologische Ansätze aufgezeigt sowie erste Vorschläge zur Gewinnung, Analyse und Strukturierung der Daten präsentiert. Zur lexikografischen Umsetzung werden verschiedene Möglichkeiten skizziert und im Ausblick einige Herausforderungen zusammengefasst.
