Modernism

Modernism constitutes one of the most prominent fields of literary studies today. It is, however, a field that stands in a very ambiguous relationship to the present literary and cultural situation. Perhaps this is indeed one reason for the current vitality of modernist studies that can be observed on both sides of the Atlantic. Scholars and critics are seeking to draw a balance sheet with modernism, but there is still a great deal of basic disagreement about how to “settle” it as a historical category.

One may even ask: has modernism come to an end? There are certainly those who do not hesitate to answer this question affirmatively,

Computational Approaches to Morphology and Syntax


Computational approaches to morphology and syntax are generally concerned with formal devices, such as grammars and stochastic models, and algorithms, such as tagging or parsing. They can range from primarily theoretical work, looking at, say, the computational complexity of algorithms for using a certain class of grammars, to mainly applied work, such as establishing best practices for statistical language modeling in the context of automatic speech recognition. Our intention in this volume is to provide a critical overview of the key computational issues in these domains along with some (though certainly not all) of the most effective approaches taken to address these issues. Some approaches have been known for many decades; others continue to be actively researched. Download it here.

A leading commentator and popular writer on language issues, David Crystal asks the

Language Interrupted

The concept elicits little objection when observed in passing. Dalby (1998, 391) hardly considers it a venturesome statement that “a lingua franca needs to be easy to grasp, and Malay has a more approachable structure than its relatives.” When Trudgill (1996, 8–9) proposes that Alpine Romansch and Faroese have accreted unusual and complex sounds because as isolated languages, they have rarely been subjected to adults’ diminished capacity for imitating unfamiliar phonetic segments, the argument is not received as controversial.
