CLARIN-D Workshop: New digital language resources and infrastructure for English (Language) Studies
The workshop takes place Wed, 23 September from 2.00-6.00pm in L1.202.
organised by Christan Mair (Freiburg) and Thorsten Trippel (Tübingen)
CLARIN-D (= “Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure – Deutschland”) is the German component of the European CLARIN digital infrastructure project (see de.clarin.eu/de/ for more information). Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (2011-2016), the project’s mission is to create a web-based research infrastructure for the humanities and social sciences. Currently, digital language resources and infrastructures constitute a field that is characterized by increasingly rapid cycles of innovation, but also by a high degree of fragmentation, which makes it very difficult for individual scholars to keep track of developments relevant to their own research. In this situation, CLARIN-D aims to provide an integrated, scalable and interoperable infrastructure, which
- can easily be accessed by researchers
- can easily be adapted to their specific local needs, and
- is stable and persistent.
The tools and resources provided by CLARIN-D include archives, corpora, dictionaries and tools for the analysis of language data. WebLicht, for example, is a linguistic chaining tool that allows for the creation, analysis and visualization of language data (clarin-d.net/images/newsletter/factsheetWebLicht.pdf and weblicht.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/WebLicht-4/). Furthermore, CLARIN-D provides tools for the annotation, processing and analysis of spoken language data (e.g. EXMARaLDA and WebMAUS, see www.exmaralda.org and clarin.phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/BASWebServices/).
The workshop is chiefly addressed to doctoral students and early-career researchers, but of course open to other interested participants. It will feature two short introductory presentations on the conceptual and technical side of CLARIN-D’s work, which will be followed by “hands-on” demonstration sessions, in which participants are encouraged to introduce issues arising from their own research.
DFG Workshop: Zur Förderung anglistischer Forschung durch die DFG
organised by Thomas Wiemer (DFG, Bonn)
The workshop takes place Thur, 24 September from 1.30-2.30pm in L1.202.
Ziel ist, die Forschungsförderung der DFG mit besonderem Fokus auf die Anglistik zu erläutern. Dabei geht es um Fragen wie die folgenden: Wie beantragt man Förderung bei der DFG für Forschungsvorhaben der Anglistik? Welche inhaltlichen und strukturellen Trends zeichnen sich aus Sicht der DFG in der Forschung und Antragstellung im Bereich der Literaturwissenschaft und speziell der Anglistik ab? Welche Förderformate empfehlen sich für welche Arten von Projekten? Wodurch zeichnet sich ein guter DFG-Antrag aus? Woran scheitern Anträge typischerweise, welche Fehler kann man vermeiden? Wie werden Anträge bei der DFG begutachtet und entschieden? Welche Bemühungen unternimmt die DFG, um die Unabhängigkeit, Fairness und Qualität der Begutachtung und Entscheidung zu gewährleisten?
