Its motivation lies in the fact that Europe is a multilingual society with 24 official European Union Member State languages and dozens of additional languages including regional and minority languages. The only meaningful way to enable multilingualism and to benefit from this rich linguistic …
This open access book introduces Vector semantics, which links the formal theory of word vectors to the cognitive theory of linguistics. The computational linguists and deep learning researchers who developed word vectors have relied primarily on the ever-increasing availability of large corpora and of computers with highly parallel GPU and TPU compute engines, and their focus is with endow…
Opinion mining is a prevalent research issue in many domains. In the financial domain, however, it is still in the early stages. Most of the researches on this topic only focus on the coarse-grained market sentiment analysis, i.e., 2-way classification for bullish/bearish. Thanks to the recent financial technology (FinTech) development, some interdisciplinary researchers start to involve in the…
This volume is the first ever collection devoted to the field of proof-theoretic semantics.

This open access book begins with an algorithm–a set of IF…THEN rules used in the development of a new, ethical, video surveillance architecture for transport hubs. Readers are invited to follow the algorithm over three years, charting its everyday life. Questions of ethics, transparency, accountability and market value must be grasped by the algorithm in a series of ever more demanding for…
This open access volume reveals the hidden power of the script we read in and how it shapes and drives our minds, ways of thinking, and cultures. Expanding on the Linguistic Relativity Hypothesis (i.e., the idea that language affects the way we think), this volume proposes the “Script Relativity Hypothesis” (i.e., the idea that the script in which we read affects the way we think) by offer…
Depuis Pierre Bourdieu, nous savons que le corps forme un capital culturel et social incorporé. Il est marchandise et moyen de production, signe d’appartenance à une classe sociale, un lieu où se négocient les relations de sexe, de genre et de pouvoir ou un prétexte à des exclusions sociales et au racisme. Le corps est objet de châtiments, de sanctions et de contrôle social, support d…
Das Bulletin der deutschen Slavistik ist das offizielle Organ des Verbands der deutschen Slavistik (http://slavistik.org/) und erscheint jährlich.
Die digitale Transformation erfasst alle Lebensbereiche und damit auch das Lehren und Lernen. Der schulische Fremdsprachenunterricht verändert sich: Hybride Lernumgebungen, neue Textsorten und ephemere Informationen auf Social Media stehen ganz selbstverständlich auf dem Programm. Das erfordert neue Kompetenzen bei Lehrenden und Lernenden. In einer mehrsprachigen, multimodalen und digitalen W…
Deutschland ist seit Jahrzehnten ein Einwanderungsland. Sprachförderung für Zugewanderte ist also kein neues Thema. Massiv steigende Flüchtlingszahlen offenbaren jedoch die Lücken und Herausforderungen des deutschen Bildungssystems gerade in diesem Bereich. In den Schulen ist vor allem der Bereich Deutsch als Zweitsprache (DaZ) – und hier insbesondere die Sprachförderung – betroffen. G…
