Vocabulary Gains of Mono- and Multilingual Learners in a Linguistically Diverse Setting: Results From a German-English Intervention With Inclusion of…
2018
Today, group settings (e.g., in kindergarten) are more linguistically-diverse than ever. However, concepts in language acquisition only rarely include this fact. This paper reports on the effects of a language intervention which is based on a concept specifically designed for linguistically-diverse settings („PROgramme for BI- and MUltilingual Children“; Festman and Rinker, 2014). The implementation of the programme and its outcomes are described with the example of a German-English-immersion kindergarten, which was in fact plurilingual. We aimed at supporting children’s acquisition of the two languages in parallel with inclusion of their home languages. Overall, 52 (mono-, bi-, and triling…
Impact of textual data augmentation on linguistic pattern extraction to improve the idiomaticity of extractive summaries
2021
International audience; The present work aims to develop a text summarisation system for financial texts with a focus on the fluidity of the target language. Linguistic analysis shows that the process of writing summaries should take into account not only terminological and collocational extraction, but also a range of linguistic material referred to here as the "support lexicon", that plays an important role in the cognitive organisation of the field. On this basis, this paper highlights the relevance of pre-training the CamemBERT model on a French financial dataset to extend its domainspecific vocabulary and fine-tuning it on extractive summarisation. We then evaluate the impact of textua…

La raza como problema filosófico en los escritos de Nietzsche
2020
The article aims to elucidate the role played by “race” in Nietzsche's writings. Nietzsche’s concept of “race” is analyzed and interpreted together with his lexicon of the transformation of the human being and his critique of culture. The concept of “race” is studied together with other adjacent concepts and similar ideas such as the treatment of the Jewish question, his criticism of nationalism, the figure of good Europeans, the metaphor of the blond beast, the human types and the thought of breeding. It is concluded that “race” has an unquestionable physiological and evolutionary character, but through the process of incorporation (Einverleibung), culture and morals intervene in a fundame…
New Areas of Application of Comparable Corpora
2019
This chapter describes several approaches of using comparable corpora beyond the area of MT for under-resourced languages, which is the primary focus of the ACCURAT project.

The Importance of Multilingual Information and Plain English in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
2021
Health is a common issue for all human beings. As a consequence, everyone in the world has in some way to cope with the language of medicine. This is true now more than ever due to the global health crisis caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic, which has introduced a great amount of terms, previously mostly used by epidemiologists and statisticians, but which now have entered the daily lexicon of many languages. As the medium of international scientific communication, English is the language of worldwide information about the pandemic, and the main source of terms and expressions for other languages. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on English lexicon has been so deep that the Oxford E…
El léxico coloquial argentino en los “sketches” humorísticos
2017
En la lengua española encontramos una gran riqueza dialectológica y es, precisamente, esa variedad la que explica la existencia de identidades lingüísticas en cada una de las comunidades hispanas. Mediante el léxico coloquial, podemos observar uno de los ámbitos más diferenciales y, por lo tanto, identitarios en cada una de esas comunidades; de hecho, para este artículo se propone analizar, concretamente, el léxico coloquial argentino. Siguiendo esta búsqueda lingüística de lo propio, se ha trabajado sobre un contexto donde el registro sea actual, popular y coloquial, como es el caso del ámbito humorístico. De esta manera, nos proponemos en este trabajo encontrar aquellas voces propias del …
A survey on emotion detection: A lexicon based backtracking approach for detecting emotion from Bengali text
2017
Emotion recognition ability has been introduced as a core component of emotional competence. Every emotion has different ways to be expressed such as text, speech, lyrics etc. This paper reflects the current experimental study and their outcomes on emotion detection from different textual data. In case of lexicon-based analysis, the position of emotional lexicons really varies the state of an emotion. In this empirical study, our focus was to find how people use the emotional keywords to express their emotions. We have presented an emotion detection model to extract emotion from Bengali text at the sentence level. In order to detect emotion from Bengali text, we have considered two basic em…
Ladinia dolomitica
2020
Scopo di questo contributo è offrire una panoramica sull’area che viene usualmente definita “Ladinia dolomitica” e sulla varietà linguistica che vi viene tradizionalmente parlata, il ladino. L'articolo descrive brevemente la storia dell'area e dello sviluppo del ladino, e in seguito descrive le caratteristiche fonologiche, morfologiche, sintattiche e lessicali principali del ladino, che lo distinguono dalle vicine varietà italoromanze. In seguito si illustrano le peculiarità linguistiche dei singoli dialetti ladini, che sono parlati ognuno in una valle diversa delle Dolomiti. L'articolo è fortemente innovativo e originale, perché permette di ascoltare i file audio che esemplificano i tratti…
A SPECIALIZED TERMINOLOGY TO DOCUMENT THE TEACHING
2014
Documenting your teaching allows you to not disperse the fragments of your own educational practice, but, on the contrary, it allows you to reflect and record, through a constant work of conceptualization and of personal experience transcription. This implies the use of specific models of writing (or rewriting), specific linguistic- communicative tools, (digital and non digital) technologies and, above all, a specialized terminology made of "the words of acted-teaching". In this context, it is possible to collocate the educational experience conducted during the Academic Year 2013/2014 at the Faculty of Education, University of Palermo, which involved students of the fourth year of the degr…
