Multi-CAST: Multilingual corpus of annotated spoken texts (legacy versions)
No full text<p><strong>Multi-CAST</strong>, the <em>Multilingual Corpus of Annotated Spoken Texts</em> (Haig & Schnell 2015), is a collection of annotated spoken-language corpora from a typologically diverse set of languages. Most of the data stem from documentation projects undertaken on lesser-researched and endangered languages. The texts are overwhelmingly unscripted, non-elicited, monologic narratives. </p>
<p>Each corpus in the collection is an individually citable resource that was contributed by experts on the respective languages in cooperation with the collection editors. The Multi-CAST collection as a whole was designed and compiled by Geoffrey Haig and Stefan Schnell with the assistance of Nils Schiborr, and is to date the only freely-available, multilingual, spoken-language corpus that combines morphological and morphosyntactic glossing with annotation of discourse referents. Each Multi-CAST corpus includes audio recordings (as WAV and MP3 files; archived separately, see below), annotation files in a number of file formats (including as EAF files for use with the free <a href="https://archive.mpi.nl/tla/elan">linguistic annotation software ELAN</a>, and as TSV and XML files), metadata on the speakers and texts, as well as documentation on the language, speech communities, recording situations, and analytical decisions pertinent to the annotations.</p>
<p>The annotation files use a multi-tier structure built on a time-aligned segmentation of the text into utterance units, from which derive a transcription and idiomatic English translation. Utterance units are segmented further into grammatical words with morphological glossing (following the <a href="https://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/resources/glossing-rules.php">Leipzig Glossing Rules</a>) and annotations with the GRAID (<em>Grammatical Relations and Animacy in Discourse</em>, <a href="https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:bvb:473-opus4-262354">Haig & Schnell 2014</a>) and RefIND (<em>Referent Indexing in Natural Language Discourse</em>, <a href="https://fis.uni-bamberg.de/handle/uniba/91175">Schiborr et al. 2018</a>; starting with version 1905) annotation schemes. Further information on the contents of the collection and the structure of the annotations can be found in the <em>Multi-CAST collection overview</em> (Schiborr 2023), which is included in this archive. The <a href="https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=multicastR"><em>multicastR</em> package</a> (Schiborr 2018) provides a simple interface for directly accessing the Multi-CAST annotation data through the <a href="https://www.r-project.org/">statistical computing language R</a>.</p>

Annotations using GRAID: Grammatical Relations and Animacy in Discourse (manual)
Get PDF<p><strong>GRAID</strong> (<em>Grammatical Relations and Animacy in Discourse</em>) is a system of symbols and conventions for glossing the grammatical relations and overt forms (noun phrases, pronouns etc.) of major clause constituents in texts. The purpose of GRAID annotations is to facilitate cross-corpus research in language typology. This archive contains version 7.0 of the <em>GRAID manual</em>, orginally published in October 2014.</p>
<p>The GRAID system was developed on the basis of transcribed recordings from typologically diverse languages, using data that had been collected and archived in language documentation projects. It has, among others, been applied to the texts in the <a href="https://doi.org/10.48564/unibafd-nzvjx-4x932"><em>Multi-CAST collection</em></a> of corpora (Haig & Schnell 2015).</p>

Seit 1971 arbeitet er als freier Schriftsteller und wurde für sein umfangreiches Werk mit zahlreichen Preisen ausgezeichnet, darunter der Fontane-Preis (2003), der Georg-Büchner-Preis (2004) und der Heinrich-von-Kleist-Preis (2007). Als 'poet in residence' lehrte Genazino zwei Semester lang an der Universität Essen, übernahm 1997/98 eine poetologische Gastdozentur an der Universität Paderborn und veröffentlichte 2006 seine Frankfurter Poetik-Vorlesungen unter dem Titel Die Belebung der toten Winkel.</p><p>Ungeachtet seiner thematischen Breite wird das Gesamtwerk Genazinos leitmotivisch zusammengehalten von sich ähnelnden Erzählerfiguren: Bereits in seinem Frühwerk, vor allem der viel beachteten Abschaffel-Trilogie (1977-79), nimmt Genazino den Typus des Angestellten und den Erfahrungsraum des Großraumbüros ins Visier, in dem er symbolische Verdichtungen der mitteleuropäischen Konsum- und Mobilitätsgesellschaft entdeckt. Der große internationale Durchbruch gelingt ihm schließlich 2001 mit seinem Roman Ein Regenschirm für diesen Tag (2001) mit einem für Genazino exemplarischen Protagonisten: einem Streuner und Voyeur, der – wie bereits die Erzählerfiguren in Der Fleck, die Jacke, die Zimmer, der Schmerz (1989) oder Die Kassiererinnen (1998) – typische Räume der modernen Großstadt ausschreitet, seine Beobachtungen zueinander in Bezug setzt und einem für Genazino charakteristischen Gedehnten Blick (2004) unterwirft.</p><p>Dabei sind es mitunter auch trügerische Sinneseindrücke, die in den Texten die zwischenmenschliche Kommunikation bestimmen und die wechselseitige, oft problematische Wahrnehmung von Mann und Frau oder von verschiedenen Familienmitgliedern offen legen, etwa im Roman Die Ausschweifung (1981) sowie in den autobiografisch gefärbten Texten Die Liebe zur Einfalt (1990) und Eine Frau, eine Wohnung, ein Roman (2003). </p><p>Vortrag 1: Vmp3_Genazino1_18.06.2009.mp3|18.

Bamberger Poetikprofessur 2008
No full text<p>Seit 1986 kommen auf Einladung des Lehrstuhls für Neuere deutsche Literaturwissenschaft alljährlich namhafte Autorinnen und Autoren an die Otto-Friedrich-Universität, um dort im Rahmen der Bamberger Poetikprofessur vier öffentliche Vorlesungen zu halten und in Seminaren mit Studierenden zu diskutieren.</p><p>John von Düffel geboren 1966 in Göttingen, wuchs unter anderem im irischen Londonderry und in Vermillion, South Dakota (USA), auf. Er studierte Philosophie, Germanistik und Volkswirtschaft an den Universitäten Freiburg i. Br. sowie Stirling, Schottland. 1989 beendete er sein Studium mit einer Promotion im Fach Philosophie. Anschließend arbeitete er als Film-, Tanz-, und Theaterkritiker, ab 1991 als Dramaturg am Theater der Altmark in Stendal, später in Oldenburg, Basel und Bonn. Seit 2000 ist von Düffel als Dramaturg am Thalia Theater in Hamburg beschäftigt und sorgte hier 2005 mit seiner Bühnenfassung von Thomas Manns Buddenbrooks für Aufsehen. Er war im Sommersemester 2000 Gastprofessor am Deutschen Literaturinstitut Leipzig, lehrt an der Universität Hamburg und gehörte 2006 der Jury des Deutschen Buchpreises an. Heute lebt und arbeitet John von Düffel in Bremen und Hamburg.</p><p>Sein Debüt als Dramatiker gab von Düffel 1995 mit Oi – einem Stück über die rechtsradikale Szene in Deutschland. Grundsätzlich fragen von Düffels frühe Stücke thematisch nach einem kollektiven, nationalen Erbe und den daraus resultierenden Generationskonflikten. So widmet sich neben Oi auch Solingen (1995) dem fortdauernden und wieder auflebenden Faschismus in Deutschland; Stücke wie Born in the RAF (1999) und Rinderwahnsinn (1999) thematisieren die Auseinandersetzung mit der 68-er Generation. Das Verhältnis der Generationen und ihr Umgang miteinander bleibt auch Thema der Romane. Hier allerdings rückt die Familie als gesellschaftlicher und sozialer Kleinstort in den Vordergrund, etwa wenn in von Düffels Romandebüt Vom Wasser (1998) ein Ich-Erzähler der eigenen Herkunft nachspürt oder in Houwelandt (2004) die generationsübergreifende Kommunikations- und Beziehungslosigkeit einer Großfamilie dargestellt wird. Im aktuellen Roman Beste Jahre (2007), der die Geschichte einer Familiengründung erzählt, werden Familienmodelle nicht mehr rückblickend erschlossen, sondern in ihren Anfängen sichtbar gemacht. Verbindendes Element des Erzählwerks ist das Wasser, das in sämtlichen Texten als Leitmotiv in ein dichtes Geflecht an Metaphern eingebunden ist und dem Autor den Ruf eines "amphibischen Schriftstellers" eingetragen hat. Nicht zufällig verweist John von Düffel selbst auf das Schwimmen, wenn er das eigene Schreiben poetologisch zu bestimmen sucht: "Was braucht man zum Schreiben? Dasselbe wie zum Schwimmen: vor allem Kondition und Disziplin."
