5 November 1998

Ich bitte um Verständnis dafür, daß meine Lehrveranstaltungen am Donnerstag, d. 29. Oktober 1998 wegen Erkrankung ausfallen müssen. Bitte sagen Sie dies weiter; ich werde versuchen, auch Aushänge anbringen zu lassen.

Bitte nutzen Sie die Zeit und studieren Sie die Kursmaterialien im Internet, sowie die Übungen und Beispiele für diese Woche, die ich Sie unten finden.

I apologise especially to those who have to get up early and travel far.

Grundstudium

230104 Introduction to Linguistic Programming for English Studies (Do 16-18)

Look through the class materials, and spend the time you would have spent in class in doing the following:

• Pick your favourite recipe,
• make a table of the ingredients, with the name of the recipe on the left, then its type, then the quantity required, and the action which you have to perform with it.

Example:

1 olive_oil cooking_fat 1 tablespoon pour_into_frying-pan

2 frying_pan utensil 1 heat_very_hot_on_stove

3 egg high_protein 2 beat_and_pour_into_hot_fat

4 omelette result 1 eat

Hauptstudium

230101 Computergestützte experimentelle Phonetik -- Computer based experimental phonetics (Do 08-10)

Following the instructions which I gave you last week, please

1. construct a list of English phonemes with the important allophones, using SAMPA notation (check this out on the web),
2. construct a list of pairs of all phonemes as a preliminary to constructing the diphone database -- divide this up among yourselves, e.g. each person takes 4 phonemes (depending on how many are present), and makes a diphone list for each phoneme,
3. construct a list of short phrases containing the diphones.

Example (to be extended to include all consonants and vowels:

p p don't drop pans here

p t don't drop tins here

p k don't drop cans here

p b don't drop bins here

p d don't drop dishes here

p g don't drop guns here

p f don't drop fish here

p T don't drop thistles here

p ... don't drop ... here

t p please cut paper carefully

t t please cut tissue carefully

t k please cut cabbage carefully

t b please cut broccoli carefully

t d please cut dynamite carefully

t g please cut geese carefully

t f please cut feathers carefully

t T please cut thistles carefully

t ... please cut ... carefully

Note:

• the diphones should, if possible, NOT be in stressed positions,
• sequences of consonants and vowels may occur both within words and between words -- both contexts should be used!
• some sequences of consonants, such as some of those above, only occur between two words,
• don't allow yourself to be misled by the orthography -- e.g. the `pp' in `happy' is NOT a diphone -- cf. /§hæp§/!

230100 Computergestützte Lexikographie -- Computational lexicography (Do 10-12)

The tasks for this week are:

• carefully read the lecture notes on the web for this week on lexical structure and lexical signs, and prepare questions on these,
• search for dictionaries on the world wide web, and prepare a informal report for next week, so we can discuss how they are constructed.
• pick at least two dictionary entries from any dictionary or dictionaries you have at home, and list the types of lexical informtion they contain (microstructure).

230105 Linguistische Grundlagen multimedialer Hypertexte -- Linguistic foundations of multimedia hypertexts (Do 14-16)

1. Write a summary of what we discussed last week.
2. Describe the structure of the (CNN web site).

Note: Next week we will be meeting in the LiLi PC room C01-273 !
