Having found their way onto the computer screens, comics soon branched into webcomics. These kept a lot of the characteristics of print comic books, but gradually adapted new unexplored modes of representation. Three relatively new ‘enhancements’ to the medium of comics are presented in this article: webcomics enhanced through the use of the infinite canvas, as proposed by Scott McCloud, those enhanced with videos and/or sound, and lastly those enhanced with interactive and ludic elements. All of the mentioned push the medium of comics into new waters, and by doing so they add new layers of meaning and modify their structure based on the make-up of the implemented features. Infinite canvas manages to lift some limitations of print comics without changing the overall feel too drastically, while animated and voiced webcomics, as well as interactive or game comics, have a much higher inclination to transgress into domains of other media and transform themselves in order to accommodate and integrate these novel foreign features.
Dieser Beitrag stellt nach einer kurzen allgemeinen Einführung die Datenbank für Gesprochenes Deutsch (DGD) und das Forschungs- und Lehrkorpus Gesprochenes Deutsch (FOLK) als Instrumente speziell für gesprächsanalytisches Arbeiten vor. Anhand des Beispiels sprich als Diskursmarker für Reformulierungen werden Schritt für Schritt die Ressourcen und Tools für systematische korpus- und datenbankgesteuerte Recherchen illustriert: Nutzungsmöglichkeiten der Token-, Kontext-, Metadaten- und Positionssuche werden gezeigt, jeweils in Bezug auf und im wechselseitigen Verhältnis mit qualitativen Fallanalysen, auch mit Belegannotationen nach analyserelevanten (strukturellen und funktionalen) Kategorien. Schließlich wird das heißt als weiterer Reformulierungsindikator für eine vergleichende Analyse herangezogen. Dieser Beitrag stellt eine detailliertere Ausarbeitung einer kürzeren, eher technisch-didaktischen Online-Handreichung (Kaiser/ Schmidt 2016) zu diesem Thema dar, und hat einen stärker inhaltlich-analytischen Fokus.

Co-development of action, conceptualization and social interaction mutually scaffold and support each other within a virtuous feedback cycle in the development of human language in children. Within this framework, the purpose of this article is to bring together diverse but complementary accounts of research methods that jointly contribute to our understanding of cognitive development and in particular, language acquisition in robots. Thus, we include research pertaining to developmental robotics, cognitive science, psychology, linguistics and neuroscience, as well as practical computer science and engineering. The different studies are not at this stage all connected into a cohesive whole; rather, they are presented to illuminate the need for multiple different approaches that complement each other in the pursuit of understanding cognitive development in robots. Extensive experiments involving the humanoid robot iCub are reported, while human learning relevant to developmental robotics has also contributed useful results.
Disparate approaches are brought together via common underlying design principles. Without claiming to model human language acquisition directly, we are nonetheless inspired by analogous development in humans and consequently, our investigations include the parallel co-development of action, conceptualization and social interaction. Though these different approaches need to ultimately be integrated into a coherent, unified body of knowledge, progress is currently also being made by pursuing individual methods.
This paper is about the workflow for construction and dissemination of FOLK (Forschungs - und Lehrkorpus Gesprochenes Deutsch – Research and Teaching Corpus of Spoken German), a large corpus of authentic spoken interaction data, recorded on audio and video. Section 2 describes in detail the tools used in the individual steps of transcription, anonymization, orthographic normalization, lemmatization and POS tagging of the data, as well as some utilities used for corpus management. Section 3 deals with the DGD (Datenbank für Gesprochenes Deutsch - Database of Spoken German) as a tool for distributing completed data sets and making them available for qualitative and quantitative analysis. In section 4, some plans for further development are sketched.
Unterschiede bei Dialektübersetzungen in Abhängigkeit von schriftlichen und mündlichen Stimuli

When collecting linguistic data using translation tasks, stimuli can be presented in written or in oral form. In doing so, there is a possibility that a systematic source of error can occur that can be traced back to the selected survey method and which can influence the results of the translation tasks. This contribution investigates whether and to what extent both of the aforementioned survey methods result in divergent results when using translation tasks. For this investigation, 128 informants provided linguistic data; each informant had to translate 25 Wenker sentences from Standard German into either East Swabian, Lechrain or West Central Bavarian dialect, as the case may be. The results show two tendencies. First, written stimuli lead to a slightly higher number of dialectal translation in segmental variables. Second, when oral stimuli are used, syntactic and lexical variables are translated significantly more often in such a manner that they diverge from the template. The results can be explained in terms of varying cognitive processing operations and the constraints of human working memory. When collecting data in the future, these tendencies should be taken into account.
Der vorliegende Aufsatz untersucht die Syntax und Semantik sogenannter Postponierer, d.h. konjunktionaler Konnektoren, die den von ihnen eingeleiteten Nebensatz dem Hauptsatz stets nachstellen. Anhand von sodass und zumal werden die Kerneigenschaften solcher Konnektoren im Deutschen vorgestellt. Am Beispiel der italienischen Konjunktionen cosicché, tanto più che und perché wird diskutiert, ob der Begriff des Postponierers für den Sprachvergleich genutzt werden kann. In einem nächsten Schritt werden die Postponierer des Deutschen unter Beiziehung sprachgeschichtlicher Argumente präziser beschrieben und im Übergangsfeld zwischen Adverbkonnektoren und Subjunktoren verortet. Es zeigt sich, dass die untersuchten Konnektoren sich letztlich sehr unterschiedlich verhalten, sodass es fraglich erscheint, ob ihre Zusammenfassung zu einer gemeinsamen Klasse gerechtfertigt ist.
This study investigates high vowel laxing in the Louisiana French of the Lafourche Basin. Unlike Canadian French, in which the high vowels /i, y, u/ are traditionally described as undergoing laxing (to [I, Y, U]) in word-final syllables closed by any consonant other than a voiced fricative (see Poliquin 2006), Oukada (1977) states that in the Louisiana French of Lafourche Parish, any coda consonant will trigger high vowel laxing of /i/; he excludes both /y/ and /u/ from his discussion of high vowel laxing. The current study analyzes tokens of /i, y, u/ from pre-recorded interviews with three older male speakers from Terrebonne Parish. We measured the first and second formants and duration for high vowel tokens produced in four phonetic environments, crossing syllable type (open vs. closed) by consonant type (voiced fricative vs. any consonant other than a voiced fricative). Results of the acoustic analysis show optional laxing for /i/ and /y/ and corroborate the finding that high vowels undergo laxing in word-final closed syllables, regardless of consonant type. Data for /u/ show that the results vary widely by speaker, with the dominant pattern (shown by two out of three speakers) that of lowering and backing in the vowel space of closed syllable tokens. Duration data prove inconclusive, likely due to the effects of stress. The formant data published here constitute the first acoustic description of high vowels for any variety of Louisiana French and lay the groundwork for future study on these endangered varieties.
