Reference to Names: An empirically based study on metalinguistic uses of names of lexicalized concepts

Natascha Raue

How do people talk about words? This work explores naming constructions such as This formation is called a „coral reef“ that are used to introduce lexicalized concepts like coral reef through metalinguistic reference.
Drawing on the theoretical foundations in philosophy of language as well as recent work in semantics and pragmatics, experimental evidence from corpus analyses and psycholinguistic experiments-including self-paced reading and eye-tracking data-uncover the linguistic and cognitive processes behind these naming constructions. Special attention is given to the use and processing of quotational constructions during reading.
Bridging (psycho)linguistics and philosophy of language, this interdisciplinary work offers new insights into how people use quotational constructions to talk about language, and how readers interpret and process naming constructions with and without quotation marks.

Wenn KI auf Fach und Sprache trifft

https://doi.org/10.57088/978-3-7329-8690-3

Was passiert, wenn Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) auf die Herausforderungen der Fachkommunikation trifft? Wie tragfähig sind die aktuellen Modelle und Konzepte für die Arbeit mit KI im fachlichen und fachsprachlichen Kontext? Expertinnen und Experten für Fachkommunikationsforschung aus neun Ländern stellen in diesem Band ihre aktuellen KI-Projekte in Forschung und Lehre vor. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei Modellbildung, KI-Kompetenz, Terminologie, Fachübersetzen und Dolmetschen sowie die Vermittlung von Fachsprache im Hochschulkontext. Mit Blick auf die Qualität fachkommunikativer Forschung und Lehre der Zukunft thematisieren sie Potenziale und Risiken der Nutzung von KI.

Worlds shaped by words: A cross-linguistic investigation into the neural mechanisms of lexico-syntactic feature production

Languages employ different nominal classification systems to categorise nouns. In German, each noun is assigned a grammatical gender, while in Mandarin Chinese, nouns are paired with classifiers that align with semantic features. Grammatical gender and classifiers are lexico-syntactic features that are assumed to be automatically activated during speech production. Although grammatical gender has been widely studied, research on classifiers remains scarce, and it is unclear how such features are processed across different languages, lexical categories, and in second language acquisition. This dissertation investigates the processing of grammatical gender in German and classifiers in Mandarin during noun phrase production, addressing the following questions: Are classifiers activated in Mandarin during noun phrase production? Do semantic features like visual shape influence classifier processing? Do Mandarin learners of German process grammatical gender, even though it is absent in their native language? Do semi-lexical nouns in German activate grammatical gender similarly to regular nouns? To answer these questions, this research combines behavioural and electroencephalographic measures using picture-word interference and blocked cyclic naming paradigms. The results showed that classifiers were activated during noun phrase production. Visual shape information was also involved in classifier processing. Despite difficulties in production, Chinese learners of German automatically processed grammatical gender in their second language. The grammatical gender of semi-lexical nouns was processed through multiple routes. Taken together, this dissertation provides new insights into the cognitive mechanisms that underlie lexico-syntactic feature processing during language production.
