This anthology consists of selected papers presented by European scholars at the 21st LSP-Conference 2017 on Interdisciplinary knowledge-making: challenges for LSP-research, held at NHH Norwegian School of Economics in Bergen, Norway. The multifarious aspects of LSP-research publication cover issues on terms and terminology, LSP-texts from a text linguistic approach, training in LSP-settings and translation of LSPtexts. The volume gives an up-to-date selection of the ongoing research endeavours in specialised communication in subject fields ranging from maritime accidents over healthcare and financial accounting to climate change.
Expressing negation is a universal property of all human languages. There is considerable variation, however, in the exact ways negation materializes cross-linguistically. Strict Negative Concord differs both from the Negative Polarity Item strategy and the Asymmetric Negative Concord strategy in that the sentence becomes negative only if the sentence negator is overtly expressed in it, irrespective of how many negative expressions are used. The central aim of this book is to describe Strict Negative Concord in some Slavic and Finno-Ugric languages. In particular, the volume gives an insight into the forms Strict Negative Concord manifests itself in Russian, Polish, Czech, Slovenian (Slavic), Finnish, Hungarian, Mari (Finno-Ugric) and the closely related Selkup (Samoyedic) to a wide linguistic community. It aims to create a platform for comparison with similar phenomena in well-described European languages.
CLARIN, the "Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure", has established itself as a major player in the field of research infrastructures for the humanities. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the organization, its members, its goals and its functioning, as well as of the tools and resources hosted by the infrastructure. The many contributors representing various fields, from computer science to law to psychology, analyse a wide range of topics, such as the technology behind the CLARIN infrastructure, the use of CLARIN resources in diverse research projects, the achievements of selected national CLARIN consortia, and the challenges that CLARIN has faced and will face in the future. The book will be published in 2022, 10 years after the establishment of CLARIN as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium by the European Commission (Decision 2012/136/EU).

The developments in the area of ordered nanoporous solids have moved beyond the traditional catalytic and separation uses and given rise to a wide variety of new applications in different branches of chemistry, physics, material science, etc. The activity in this area is due to the outstanding properties of nanoporous materials that have attracted the attention of researchers from different communities. However, recent achievements in a specific field often remain out of the focus of collaborating communities. This work summarizes the latest developments and prospects in the area of ordered porous solids, including synthetic layered materials (clays), microporous zeolite-type materials, orde...
Chemical sensors contain two basic functions: recognition and transduction, and provide real-time information about substances rather than physical quantities. Such devices are extensively utilized for various applications in diverse fields. The book focuses on the physical, chemical, optical, and electrical working mechanisms of different types of sensors integrated with various smart nanomaterials and composites. The mesmerizing properties of numerous materials and their fruitful applications for detecting numerous chemical parameters are discussed here. The book provides recent progress in the chemical sensors field and connects materials, physics, chemistry, and engineering, and therefore, is suitable for engineers, industrial, and academic researchers.
Economic development, population growth, and environmental pollution evolving in many parts of the world are placing great demands on existing resources of fresh water and reflecting a "water crisis". Resource management, efficient utilization of the water resources, and above all water purification are all alternatives to resolve the water crisis. Purification approaches include traditional approaches that have lasted for several centuries without major modifications as well as new innovative approaches. This book covers a number of water quality issues relevant to either improving the existing treatment methods or to new advanced approaches. The book has 15 chapters distributed over four sections titled: [1] Management and Modeling of Treatment Systems, [2] Advanced Treatment Processes, [3] Treatment of Organic-contaminated Water, and [4] Advanced Monitoring Techniques.
This handbook comprises an in-depth presentation of the state of the art in word-formation. The five volumes contain 207 articles written by leading international scholars. The XVI chapters of the handbook provide the reader, in both general articles and individual studies, with a wide variety of perspectives: word-formation as a linguistic discipline (history of science, theoretical concepts), units and processes in word-formation, rules and restrictions, semantics and pragmatics, foreign word-formation, language planning and purism, historical word-formation, word-formation in language acquisition and aphasia, word-formation and language use, tools in word-formation research. The final chapter comprises 74 portraits of word-formation in the individual languages of Europe and offers an innovative perspective. These portraits afford the first overview of this kind and will prove useful for future typological research. This handbook will provide an essential reference for both advanced students and researchers in word-formation and related fields within linguistics.
Tretja monografija iz niza »razprav o pravopisnih vprašanjih« (pred njo sta izšli monografiji Pravopisna stikanja, 2012, in Pravopisna razpotja, 2015) je priložnost za podrobnejšo predstavitev procesa kodifikacije. Prenova pravopisnega priročnika poteka ob poglobljenem raziskovanju in široko zastavljenih premislekih, pri katerih s svojimi znanji pomagajo tudi strokovnjaki z drugih področij. Na ta način se približujemo končnemu idealu, za katerega se v Pravopisni komisiji pri SAZU in ZRC SAZU zavedamo, da ga bomo težko dosegli – že zato, ker spoštujemo različnost jezikovnih praks in ideologij. Pri tem smo kot kakšne pravopisne kraljične iz Andersenove pravljice, ki se klju...
Koncept novega razlagalnega slovarja slovenskega knjižnega jezika opredeljuje vsebino in zgradbo sodobnega enojezičnega informativno-normativnega slovarja, ki nastaja na Inštitutu za slovenski jezik Frana Ramovša ZRC SAZU. Koncept v prvem poglavju pojasni osnovne lastnosti slovarja, njegov obseg in namen, v drugem poglavju je podrobno razčlenjena sestava slovarskega sestavka, tretje poglavje pa oriše proces redaktorskega dela. Slovar bo vseboval približno 100.000 slovarskih sestavkov, v katerih bodo opisane slovnične, pomenske in druge lastnosti eno- in večbesednih leksikalnih enot sodobne knjižne slovenščine. Vsakoletni slovarski prirastek bo objavljen na portalu Fran: slovarji ...
Pravopisna komisija pri SAZU in ZRC SAZU od 3. decembra 2019 objavlja posodobljena ali na novo zasnovana poglavja pravopisnih pravil, ki so objavljena kot zbirka na portalu Fran. V prvem delu publikacije sta objavljeni poglavji pravopisnih pravil, ki sta bili dani v javno razpravo decembra leta 2021 – »Velika in mala začetnica« ter »Prevzete besede in besedne zveze«. Predlog pravil za pisanje začetnice je glede na predhodna pravila v Slovenskem pravopisu 2001 razširjen in prirejen za spletni medij in za javno razpravo. Med najbolj kompleksnimi vprašanji je bila obravnava začetnice v neprvih sestavinah večbesednih zemljepisnih imen, ki je dogovornega značaja in jih uvrščamo med...
