Einfache Sprache - Teil 1: Grundsätze und Leitlinien (ISO 24495-1)
No full textDie ISO hat jetzt mit der ISO 24495-1 die erste Norm für Einfache Sprache veröffentlicht, die die schriftliche Kommunikation verbessern soll. Sie enthält Grundsätze für Einfache Sprache, Techniken und eine Checkliste für die konkrete Anwendung. Auf diese Weise vermittelt die ISO 24495-1 ein klares Verständnis davon, was Einfache Sprache ist und wie man sie erreichen kann. Ziel ist, Autor*innen dabei zu helfen, verständliche Texte für eine breite Leserschaft zu erstellen
Moral und Moralisierung – Werkstattgespräch der beteiligten Disziplinen
Get PDFDieses Gespräch wurde am 6. Februar 2023 in den Räumlichkeiten des Marsilius-Kollegs der Universität Heidelberg aufgenommen. Es spiegelt den Austausch zwischen den beteiligten Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern wider und gibt einen ersten Einblick in die Themen und Fragen, die in diesem Sammelband eine Rolle spielen. Das Gespräch wurde transkribiert und an denjenigen Stellen sprachlich überarbeitet, die es aus Gründen der Verständlich- und Lesbarkeit erforderten. Der mündliche, im Nachdenken begriffene Charakter des Gesprächs wurde gewahrt
Emigrantendeutsch in Israel: Die Interviewkorpora IS, ISW und ISZ im Archiv für Gesprochenes Deutsch des IDS
Get PDFDie Korpora IS, ISW und ISZ im Archiv für Gesprochenes Deutsch des IDS enthalten 316 Aufnahmen mit 275 deutschsprachigen Emigranten der 1. und 2. Generation in Israel – insgesamt ca. 517 Stunden, die zwischen 1989 und 2019 meist als spontane narrative autobiographische Interviews von Anne Betten und weiteren Interviewer*innen durchgeführt wurden. Nach einem Bericht über die Entstehung der Korpora, die ursprünglichen Forschungsziele (Dokumentation und soziolinguistische Begründung der Bewahrung eines schriftnahen Bildungsbürgerdeutsch) und das weitere Untersuchungspotenzial der Daten wird auf einige der bisherigen linguistischen Forschungsschwerpunkte näher eingegangen: Arbeiten im Bereich der Sprachgeschichte und -variation sowie der Migrationslinguistik, Untersuchungen zur Gesprächs- und Erzählanalyse und quantitativ-qualitative Analysen
A living text archive of 15th-19th-century German. Corpus strategies, technology, organization
Get PDFThe corpus Situation for the study of Early New High German (ENHG) and the older stages of New High German (oNHG) is far from satisfying. Indeed, there is no integrated and balanced corpus of a sufficient size that is publicly available. In this paper we give an outline of a living text archive of ENHG and oNHG in a distributed infrastructure that is supposed to fill this gap in the coming years. Such an archive is de- signed as a collaborative, sustainable and interoperable platform where historical texts are integrated together with relevant metadata and expert computational technology. We briefly mention examples of research questions and of corpus building scenarios and comment on the organizational aspects of such an archive including its potential as a basis for reference corpora for specific purposes
Testing the validity of translation universals for Brazilian Portuguese by employing comparable corpora and NLP techniques
Get PDFThe present study investigates the lexical features of three of the so-called translation universals, namely, simplification, explicitation and levelling out, for the Brazilian Portuguese language. The aim was to test their validity and to see whether the features change over time. To this end, comparable corpora were used containing nine pairs of specimens of translated and original Brazilian Portuguese narrative prose (fiction) dating from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. The methodology consisted in the employment of NLP techniques and statistical measures as a complementary method of analysis. The results obtained confirmed only the validity of the simplification hypothesis
The Kassel Corpus of Clause Linking
Get PDFThe Kassel Corpus of Clause Linking is part of a larger project on the grammar of New High German led by Vilmos Ägel. The project takes as its starting point the assump- tion that equal consideration of both oral and written language is essential in order to understand developments in grammar during the New High German period. The Kassel Corpus of Clause Linking includes four texts from the period 1650-1700 and four texts from 1850-1900, with three texts from each period exemplifying oracy (imme- diacy) and one text literacy (distance). The corpus was annotated for grammatical features which are relevant for clause linking, such as predicates, subjects and connec- tors. A major issue in the process of annotation was to identify correlations between single grammatical features and types of clause linking, such as coordination, subordination and ellipsis. In the paper we will explain the principles which formed the basis for compiling and annotating the corpus, and illustrate how correlations between single grammatical features and types of clause linking may be established. We will also provide an example (non-integrative ellipsis) of how the annotated corpus re- veals differences between immediacy and distance, as well as showing historical developments
Linguistic variation and diversity in a dictionary of German confusables
Get PDFGerman has pairs of competing words which are easily confused. These often share a root and are hence similar both in form and in the concepts they designate (e.g., autoritär/autoritativ 'authoritarian/authoritative'). These confusables or paronyms can be subject to semantic variation. The dictionary "Paronyme - Dynamisch im Kontrast" documents conventionalised patterns and use. It provides information on preferences and tendencies as observed in real communication, thereby also accounting for variation in use. Shifts are observed diachronically and also in terms of genre, discourse and register. This paper explores how confusables are used in different situations and how this variation unfolds in the reference guide. It demonstrates how differences in usage between technical language and everyday communication or between oral and written conversation are captured
Inducing linguistic networks from historical corpora. Towards a new method in historical semantics
Get PDFIn this paper, we experiment with exploring linguistic networks as a new method in historical semantics. Our starting point is a long-term historical corpus (i.e., the Patrologia Patina) which we analyse regarding the conceptual stability of a key concept in medieval literature (i.e., virtus). Most analyses in historical semantics explore small data sets by focusing on narrow contexts of lexical usages, but we propose a more comprehensive method based on lexical networks that represent the underlying documents as a whole. We demonstrate both the topological stability of document-based lexical networks and their usefulness in providing empirical evidence in historical semantics
