Construction-based language models assume that grammar is meaningful and learnable from experience. Focusing on five of the most elementary argument structure constructions of English, a large-scale corpus study of child-directed speech (CDS) investigates exactly which meanings/functions are associated with these patterns in CDS, and whether they are indeed specially indicated to children by their caretakers (as suggested by previous research, cf. Goldberg, Casenhiser and Sethuraman 2004). Collostructional analysis (Stefanowitsch and Gries 2003) is employed to uncover significantly attracted verb-construction combinations, and attracted pairs are classified semantically in order to systematise the attested usage patterns of the target constructions. The results indicate that the structure of the input may aid learners in making the right generalisations about constructional usage patterns, but such scaffolding is not strictly necessary for construction learning: not all argument structure constructions are coherently semanticised to the same extent (in the sense that they designate a single schematic event type of the kind envisioned in Goldberg’s [1995] ‘scene encoding hypothesis’), and they also differ in the extent to which individual semantic subtypes predominate in learners’ input
"Webkorpora in Computerlinguistik und Sprachforschung" war das Thema eines Workshops,der von den beiden GSCL-Arbeitskreisen „Hypermedia“ und „Korpuslinguistik“ am Institut für Deutsche Sprache (IDS) in Mannheim veranstaltet wurde, und zu dem sich am 27.09. und 28.09.2012 Experten aus universitären und außeruniversitären Forschungseinrichtungen zu Vorträgen und Diskussionen zusammenfanden. Der facettenreiche Workshop thematisierte Fragen der Gewinnung, der Aufbereitung und der Analyse von Webkorpora für computerlinguistische Anwendungen und sprachwissenschaftliche Forschung. Einen Schwerpunkt bildeten dabei die speziellen Anforderungen, die sich gerade im Hinblick auf deutschsprachige Ressourcen ergeben. Im Fokus stand weiterhin die Nutzung von Webkorpora für die empirisch gestützte Sprachforschung, beispielsweise als Basis für sprachstatistische Analysen, für Untersuchungen zur Sprachlichkeit in der internetbasierten Kommunikation oder für die korpusgestützte Lexikographie. Zusätzlich gab es eine Poster/Demosession, in der wissenschaftliche und kommerzielle Projekte ihre Forschungswerkzeuge und Methoden vorstellen konnten.
Based on German speaking data from various activity types, the range of multimodal resources used to construct turn-beginnings is reviewed. It is claimed that participants in talk-in-interaction need to deal with four tasks in order to construct a turn which precisely fits the interactional moment of its production:
1. Achieve joint orientation: The accomplishment of the socio-spatial prerequisites necessary for producing a turn which is to become part of the participants’ common ground.
2. Display uptake: Next speaker needs to display his/her understanding of the interaction so far as the backdrop on which the production of the upcoming turn is based.
3. Deal with projections from prior talk: The speaker has to deal with projections which have been established by (the) previous turn(s) with respect to the upcoming turn.
4. Project properties of turn-in-progress: The speaker needs to orient the recipient to properties of the turn s/he is about to produce.
Turn-design thus can be seen to be informed by tasks related to the multimodal, embodied, and interactive contingencies of online-construction of turns. The four tasks are ordered in terms of prior tasks providing the prerequisite for accomplishing a later task.
Since the eighties of the last century, the Institut für Deutsche Sprache (Institute for the German Language) explored in various ways the attitudes of the German population towards the national language in Germany. After limited studies without statistical relevance, two representative surveys were conducted in 1997/98 and 2008/09. The questions asked concerned attitudes toward recent developments of the language, the regional variance of German, especially the East- and West-German variants, and towards foreign languages inside and outside of the country. The major statistical results are presented and discussed.
Sprachentwicklung – Sprachkultur – Sprachkritik: Erwägungen zum heutigen und künftigen Deutsch
(2013)
Following an explanation of the problems to evaluate the general state of a language and to predict its future development, the main popular worries concerning the present German language are briefly presented and discussed. Three speculative scenarios of states of German at the end of the century are sketched and compared:
A. The preservation of the main structural features and domains of the German language,
B. The change of German into an Anglo-German creole,
C. The exchange of German by an 'international' English with the exception of a few relics of old German dialects.
Scenario A, the 'positive' one of the three possible developments, is argued for in more detail, and ways and means to support such a development of the German language within the context of the other European languages are suggested and discussed.
