</div><div>ich möchte Sie auf zwei Gastvorträge aufmerksam machen, die <b>nächste Woche</b> im Rahmen des Aleksander-Brückner-Zentrums organisiert werden. Die
beiden Vorträge sind sowohl in Präsenz als auch per Zoom zugänglich.</div><br><b>LEARNER CORPORA AND THEIR USEFULNESS IN SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION</b><br><b>Adrian Zasina</b>, Ph.D.<br><b>When</b>: Thursday, 20.06.2024, 12:15 c.t.<br><b>Where</b>: Carl-Zeiß-Straße 3, Raum 385<br><b>Zoom</b>:<br>Meeting ID: 621 5568 3040<br>Passcode: 364292<br>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.<br><b>Bio</b>: 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.<br><br><b>POLISH-UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE CONTACT: THE ROLE OF EXTRALINGUISTIC FACTORS</b><br>Prof. Dr. <b>Jan Fellerer</b>, University of Oxford<br><b>When</b>: Tuesday, 18.06.2024, 10:15<br><b>Where</b>: Ernst-Abbe-Platz 8, Raum 214<br><b>Online participation</b>: <a href="https://uni-jena-de.zoom-x.de/j/66727679385" target="_blank">https://uni-jena-de.zoom-x.de/j/66727679385</a><br>Password: polukr<br>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.<br><b>Bio</b>: 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.<font color="#888888"><br><br><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div class="gmail_signature">Mit freundlichen Grüßen</div><div class="gmail_signature">Ivan Levin</div><div class="gmail_signature"><br></div><div class="gmail_signature">Institut für Slawistik und Kaukasusstudien</div><div class="gmail_signature">FSU Jena</div></font>
