Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
Meeting Description:
This workshop follows up on recent initiatives by the German Linguistics Society
DGfS to understand what needs to be done with respect to providing an
understanding of linguistics to:
- Teachers in Schools (Lehramtsinitiative)
- A Lay Audience (see the new book Vernäht und Zugeflixt on the DGfS webpage, http://www.dgfs.de/cgi-bin/dgfs.pl)
With respect to Computational Linguistics, efforts have been undertaken to
provide a German language textbook (http://www.ifi.uzh.ch/arvo/cl/CLBuch/) and
to provide a useful compilation of computational linguistics teaching material
(http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/~schulte/dgfs-cl/lehrmaterial.html).
This workshop follows up and extends the existing initiatives by inviting
scholars from all over the world to come together to talk about how best to
teach and communicate linguistics to a variety of audiences (and whether one
indeed should) and perhaps on how to use linguistic insights as a vehicle for
conveying information about other fields.
