Presentation: Associations among linguistic levelsOn July 7th 2006, Marco Rene Spruit presented joint research by Wilbert Heeringa, John Nerbonne and Marco Rene Spruit at the Digital Humanities 2006 conference at the Sorbonne University in Paris. The presentation showed the degrees of association among pronunciation, lexis and syntax, after correcting for geography as an underlying, structuring factor: Associations among linguistic levels. |

Job opening: Researcher/Post Doc, Computational Linguistics, Groningen Charlotte writes: Researcher/postdoc Computational Linguistics/Phonetics Faculty of Arts, University of Groningen (The Netherlands) 80%-100% Applications are invited for a researcher/postdoc position at the Faculty of Arts, in the research institute Center for Language and Cognition Groningen. The successful applicant will join the project ‘Linguistic determinants of mutual intelligibility in Scandinavia’ which is funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). The aim of the project is to refine newly developed computational methods in order to quantify communicatively relevant similarity between closely related languages such as the Scandinavian languages. The similarity measurements will be used to develop a model for predicting and explaining mutual intelligibility. The candidate will cooperate closely with a PhD-student and a senior researcher. The full project description can be downloaded from: http://www.let.rug.nl/~gooskens/vidi. Note: This position has been filled. |

The Dutch Dialect Continuum posterFrom the Dutch Dialect Continuum poster: "Dialectology studies where and how language varieties differ. Computational techniques now allow large amounts of data to be analyzed exactly for the first time. This map compares the pronunciation of 150 words in more than 350 field work sites. The many small differences among dialects coalesce in the aggregate, confirming the traditional view that Frisian (blue), LowerSaxon (green), and Limburg (red) are distinct, coherent varieties. Geographic variation is gradual, but not constant, and the southern Dutch speech area is complex." The poster can be obtained from the Downloads section. |

The Determinants of Dialectal Variation project Techniques for assessing the linguistic distance between the pronunciation of Dutch dialectal varieties have been shown to be consistent and valid in adducing classifications for which expert consensus exists. The current project wishes to extend these results to Dutch lexis (vocabulary) and syntax and to German pronunciation and finally, to examine quantitative models that seek to account for the variation through dialect area (tribal history), geography and/or settlement size. |
