In recent years, research on valency has led to important insights into the nature of language. Some of these findings are published in this volume for the first time with up-to-date accounts of language description and new reflections on language, above all for English and German. The volume also presents examples of contrastive analysis, which are of use for all those who deal professionally with these two languages. Furthermore, the articles in the psycholinguistic and computational linguistics section demonstrate the applicability and value of valency theory for these approaches and shed light on a fruitful cooperation between theoretical and descriptive linguistics and applied disciplin...
From being the occupation of a marginal (and frequently marginalised) group of researchers, the linguistic analysis of machine-readable language corpora has moved to the mainstream of research on the English language. In this process an impressive body of results has accumulated which, over and above the intrinsic descriptive interest it holds for students of the English language, forces a major and systematic re-thinking of foundational issues in linguistic theory. Corpus linguistics and linguistic theory was accordingly chosen as the motto for the twentieth annual gathering of ICAME, the International Computer Archive of Modern/ Medieval English, which was hosted by the University of Freib...
This volume presents highlights of the first ICAME conference held in the southern hemisphere, in papers on new kinds of corpora for business and communications technology, as well as those comprising computer-mediated communication and college newspapers. The latter yield lively insights into the digitized discourse of younger adults and non-professional writers -- speech communities that have been underrepresented in the standard English corpora. Other groups that are newly represented in research reported in this volume are bilingual users of English in Singapore, Hong Kong and China, as corpus data is brought to bear on second-language speech and writing. The proposed corpus of spoken Dutch profiled here will support research into its variation in different genres and contexts of use in the Netherlands and in Belgium. Research on new historical corpora from C15 to C18 is also reported, along with techniques for normalizing prestandardized English for computerized searching. Meanwhile papers on contemporary usage show some of the continual interplay between British and American English, in grammar and details of the lexicon that are important for English language teachers.
This book explores the meanings of European peripheries in postcolonial literary imagination. While colonial discourses have constructed Europe as the centre, the continent is internally divided into centres and peripheries. Approaching the question of European peripherality in a variety of geographical and linguistic contexts and across national and diasporic literary traditions of postcolonial writing, the contributions in this volume attest to the entangled and relational character of the centre/periphery nexus. Acknowledging the unbalanced power structures between centres and peripheries, the volume sets out to challenge conventional ideas about peripheries and places European peripheral loci at the centre of postcolonial literary inquiry. The chapters in the volume draw on diverse theoretical and conceptual frameworks in order to address, among others, the link between peripherality and provincialism, the relations between intra-European and colonial peripheries, and the progressive potential of European peripheries as postcolonial spaces. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Journal of Postcolonial Writing.
A collection of studies on the role of English in German-speaking countries, covering a broad range of topics.
Der Tagungsband zur Konferenz "Inverted Classroom and beyond 2021" zeichnet sich durch vielfältige Beiträge aus, die einmal mehr zeigen, dass das Inverted Classroom Modell (ICM) für alle Fachdisziplinen und Formate von Lehrveranstaltungen hoch spannende, wertvolle Impulse liefern kann. Weiters zeigt sich das Potenzial, mit Ansätzen aus dem ICM Hochschuldidaktik insgesamt weiterzuentwickeln.
Der vorliegende Tagungsband zur Tagung ICM & beyond 2020 widmet sich neben dem Inverted Classroom Modell auch Thematiken, die durch die Nutzung des Modells in der Lehre beeinflusst werden und auf das Modell zurückwirken. Virtual, Augmented und Mixed Reality sind daher ebenso ein Themenblock dieses Bandes, wie drei Beiträge zu Making Projekten. Das ICM in den Fächern wird ausführlich und aus verschiedenen Perspektiven betrachtet. Den Abschluss des Tagungsbandes bildet das Themenfeld ICM in der Lehramtsausbildung. Die 27 Beiträge zeigen somit auch die Vielfältigkeit des Einsatzes des Inverted Classroom Modells auf. Die Konferenz ICM & beyond fand am 11. und 12. Februar 2020 an der Pädagogischen Hochschule Niederösterreich, Campus Baden statt und hatte die Auseinandersetzung mit dem aktuellen Stand der Forschung zu ICM zum Ziel, ebenso wie das Finden und Konkretisieren von weiteren Forschungsthemen rund um ICM, den Erfahrungsaustausch zur Praxis, das Thematisieren von Rahmenbedingungen für das ICM und die gesellschaftliche Relevanz des Inverted Classroom Modells.
Since 1969 (Vol.1 1968) the German Association of University Teachers of English has published the series of English and American Studies in German founded by Professor Werner Habicht. In these, scholars from the German-speaking world present in English their research in English and American Studies. The summaries report on university publications (doctoral and professorial theses), stand-alone book publications and collected volumes advancing the discipline (Festschriften, yearbooks, conference proceedings).
