[SlawKaus] Gastvorträge: 20.06 Learner corpora & 18.06 Polish-Ukrainian contact

[Ivan Levin]

Liebe Liste,

ich möchte Sie auf zwei Gastvorträge aufmerksam machen, die *nächste Woche*
im Rahmen des Aleksander-Brückner-Zentrums organisiert werden. Die beiden
Vorträge sind sowohl in Präsenz als auch per Zoom zugänglich.

*LEARNER CORPORA AND THEIR USEFULNESS IN SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION*
*Adrian Zasina*, Ph.D.
*When*: Thursday, 20.06.2024, 12:15 c.t.
*Where*: Carl-Zeiß-Straße 3, Raum 385
*Zoom*:
Meeting ID: 621 5568 3040
Passcode: 364292
The first part of the lecture explores the topic of learner corpora in
second language acquisition. Learner corpora are collections of texts
produced by non-native speakers. The first learner corpora appeared at the
end of the 1980s. One of the first learner corpora was the International
Corpus of Learner English, established at the Catholic University in
Louvain, Belgium. The development of language corpora in languages other
than English has led to the emergence of learner corpora for languages,
such as Czech, German, and Polish which form the core of this
presentation.The second part of the talk focuses on the Data-driven
learning (DDL) method. This method uses real language data from learner
corpora to improve language teaching and learning. By using DDL, teachers
can offer students real examples of language use, making learning more
effective and engaging. The presentation will include case studies and
examples of concrete applications of DDL in the teaching and learning of a
foreign language.
*Bio*: Adrian Zasina Ph.D. holds a MA in Slavic Studies and a Ph.D. in
Mathematical Linguistics (a branch of Corpus Linguistics). He is currently
the Head of the Institute of Czech and Deaf Studies at Charles University
in Prague. His main research interests include data-driven learning, corpus
linguistics, parallel corpora, grammar of contemporary Czech and Polish,
language variability, and corpus-assisted discourse studies.

*POLISH-UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE CONTACT: THE ROLE OF EXTRALINGUISTIC FACTORS*
Prof. Dr. *Jan Fellerer*, University of Oxford
*When*: Tuesday, 18.06.2024, 10:15
*Where*: Ernst-Abbe-Platz 8, Raum 214

The talk examines a conundrum inherent to the study of Polish-Ukrainian
language contact: From a linguistic point of view, it strives towards clear
attributions of items as ‘Polonisms in Ukrainian’ and ‘Ukrainianisms in
Polish’. However, the extralinguistic reality led to loan relations between
the two languages that often defy straightforward attributions of this
kind. We shall focus on two case studies in particular: the possible role
of Polish influence on the development of relative-clause markers in
Ukrainian, and mutual influences in the treatment of ‘virile’ gender in
‘boderland’ Polish and western Ukrainian dialects. In both instances, the
linguistic outcomes of Polish-Ukrainian language contact are contingent on
extralinguistic, i.e. historically specific configurations of individual
and societal Ukrainian-Polish bilingualism.
*Bio*: Jan Fellerer is Associate Professor in non-Russian Slavonic
Languages at the University of Oxford and Fellow of Wolfson College. He
graduated in Slavonic languages from the University of Vienna and completed
his doctorate at the University of Basel. His main scholarly interests are
in the history and structure of West and East Slavonic languages, in
particular Polish, Czech and Ukrainian.
