Communication of stereotypes in the classroom: biased language use of German and Turkish adolescents
(2014)
Little is known about the linguistic transmission and maintenance of mutual stereotypes in interethnic contexts. This field study, therefore, investigated the linguistic expectancy bias (LEB) and the linguistic intergroup bias (LIB) among German and Turkish adolescents (13 to 20 years) in the school context. The LEB refers to the general phenomenon of describing stereotypes more abstractly. The LIB is the tendency to use language abstraction for in-group protective reasons. Results revealed an unmoderated LEB, whereas the LIB only occurred when foreigners were in the numerical majority, the classroom composition was perceived as a learning disadvantage, or the interethnic conflict frequency was high. These findings provide first evidence for the use of both LEB and LIB in an interethnic classroom setting.
Previous accounts addressing the question what semantic properties of a matrix predicate determine the possible clause type of the embedded clause have not provided a general answer (e.g. Grimshaw 1979, Zifonun et al. 1997, Ginzburg & Sag 2000). This paper proposes that clause-embedding predicates fulfill characteristic logical conditions, so-called consistency conditions, which rule the syntactic potential of the matrix clause: for instance, the clause type of the embedded clause (declarative, ob- and/or wh-interrogative) and the correlate type, the matrix predicate can co-occur with (es and/or ProPP). Furthermore, they predict the logical forms of legitimate constructions with embedded ob- or wh-interrogatives, respectively, and how a legitimate optional correlate modifies the meaning of the matrix predicate.

Vernetzung statt Vereinheitlichung. Digitale Forschungsinfrastrukturen in den Geisteswissenschaften
(2014)
Die Entwicklung der digitalen Infrastruktur am Hamburger Zentrum für Sprachkorpora (HZSK) kann als Beispiel für die Evolution individueller technischer Einzellösungen hin zu fachspezifischen virtuellen Arbeits- und Forschungsumgebungen, die im Rahmen supranationaler Forschungsinfrastrukturen für die digitalen Geisteswissenschaften miteinander vernetzt sind, angesehen werden. Im Fokus steht im konkreten Fall des HZSK die Sicherung der langfristigen Zugänglichkeit von Forschungsdaten (multimedialen Daten gesprochener Sprache) durch die Entwicklung einer virtuellen Forschungsumgebung, die einerseits an die zentrenbasierte Forschungsinfrastruktur CLARIN-D angebunden ist und andererseits fachspezifische Benutzerschnittstellen schafft.
We present a technique called event mapping that allows to project text representations into event lists, produce an event table, and derive quantitative conclusions to compare the text representations. The main application of the technique is the case where two classes of text representations have been collected in two different settings (e.g., as annotations in two different formal frameworks) and we can compare the two classes with respect to their systematic differences in the event table. We illustrate how the technique works by applying it to data collected in two experiments (one using annotations in Vladimir Propp’s framework, the other using natural language summaries).
This paper presents challenges and opportunities resulting from the application of geographical information systems (GIS) in the (digital) humanities. First, we provide an overview of the intersection and interaction between geography (and cartography), and the humanities. Second, the “GeoBib” project is used as a case study to exemplify challenges for such collaborative, interdisciplinary projects, both for the humanists and the geoscientists. Finally, we conclude with an outlook on further applications of GIS in the humanities, and the potential scientific benefit for both sides, humanities and geosciences.
Schreiben nach Engelbart
(2014)
Douglas Engelbart hat 1968 mit seinem On-Line System das erste Mal gezeigt, wie ein Computer als interaktives Schreibwerkzeug genutzt werden kann. Der Beitrag zeichnet diese Urszene der Textverarbeitung nach, beschreibt die wesentlichen Entwicklungslinien, die das digitale Schreiben seitdem genommen hat, und erläutert die zentralen Konzepte, die es zunehmend prägen: Hybridität, Multimedialität und Sozialität.
