Treebank profiling of spoken and written German

This paper profiles significant differences in syntactic distribution and differences in word class frequencies for two treebanks of spoken and written German: the TüBa-D/S, a treebank of transliterated spontaneous dialogs, and the TüBa-D/Z treebank of newspaper articles published in the German daily newspaper ´die tageszeitung´(taz). The approach can be used more generally as a means of distinguishing and classifying language corpora of different genres

Clustering households by time use patterns ; an empirical investigation using the German Time Use Survey 2001/2002

Clustering individuals or households on the basis of socio-economic variables has become a widespread practice in German social research over the past few decades. This paper is part of a research project that explores results which may be obtained when time use patterns are chosen as the basis of numerical classification. Over the past few years, results relating to single households were published by the authors. The present paper extends the analysis to families. The investigation uses data from the German Time Use Survey 2001/2002. It is shown that the clustering process fulfils the criteria required by stochastic and qualitative social science. Furthermore, evidence is provided that including cluster memberships as dummy variables into a regressor set increases the predictive capabilities of a common multivariate analysis of correlations between socio-economic variables. Especially concerning health, meaningful interconnections between household styles and health state are detected. --

Wie fliegen wir morgen? – Neue Tendenzen im Luftverkehr

Der Fortschritt im Luftverkehr wird eher in kleinen Schritten erfolgen, denn Verkehrsflugzeuge stellen eine reife Technologie da, die kaum mehr revolutionäre Neukonstruktionen erwarten lässt. Aber auf längere Sicht können die zunehmende Individualisierung und Automatisierung dramatische Veränderungen der Flugreise mit sich bringen.Progress in air transport will be incremental, as building commercial airliners has become a mature technology, where revolutionary new designs should not be expected in the foreseeable future. But individualisation and automatisation could in the long run lead to dramatic changes in the way we travel by air

"Wem der große Wurf gelungen" ... : Ansätze einer Hypernarratologie ; dargestellt anhand von Susanne Berkenhegers Hypertext "Hilfe!"

Worin besteht die Aufgabe einer künftigen Hypernarratologie, so könnte man programmatisch fragen und – ebenso programmatisch – darauf antworten: Die Aufgabe einer künftigen Hypernarratologie besteht darin, den Zusammenhang zwischen den spezifisch hypertextuellen und den allgemeinen semantischen Strukturen einer Hyperfiction zu untersuchen. Doch was heißt das? Durch welche Strukturmerkmale zeichnet sich ein Hypertext, zumal ein poetischer, aus? Ich möchte versuchen, diese Frage in zwei Schritten zu beantworten: In einem ersten Schritt werde ich mich der Frage theoretisch nähern, wobei die Begrenztheit der bisherigen Herangehensweisen zu Tage treten wird. In einem zweiten Schritt werde ich die Frage nach den Strukturmerkmalen narrativer Hypertexte im Rahmen der ›Analysepraxis‹ aufwerfen, wenn es um eine Deutung von Berkenhegers Hilfe! geht.This essay aims to sketching out the task of a future hypernarratology by exploring the narrative function of hyperlinks and other hypertext specific ways of building a hyperstructure within the frame of digital literature. The most important assumption for any hypernarratological analysis is that the interference between the propositional content of the textual elements and the meaning, ascribed to the hypertext specific ways of connecting textual elements, is relevant for the mise en scènce, and hence, for the understanding of any hypernarrative. The performative aspect of these hypertext specific ways of connecting textual elements are examined by a close reading of Susanne Berkenheger's Hypertext Hilfe!. In the focus of interest is herebey the narrative function of performative dynamical connections

Morphologische Entwicklung des Ucayali in Peru ohne menschliche Einflüsse

The Ucayali River originates in the high Andean Mountains near the city of Cusco in Peru. After about 1,600 km, it joins with the Marañón River. Both the Ucayali River and the Marañón River are sources of the Amazon. From 2001 to 2005, the Ministry of Transport and Communication of Peru funded a study to determine the navigability of the Ucayali River. In the process, an extensive data set was acquired including hydrological and sedimentological data as well as a comprehensive topographical survey of the riverbed. Since the Ucayali River has experienced no stream channel modification in the past, the available data provide information about the flow pattern for a natural stream and insight into a reference ecosystem. This paper offers the first analysis of the available data and a sediment transport calculation for the Ucayali River.Der Ucayali entspringt in den Anden nahe der Stadt Cusco in Peru. Er fließt über eine Strecke von rd. 1.600 km durch Peru bis zum Zusammenfluss mit dem Marañón. Beide Flüsse bilden die Quellflüsse für den Amazonas. Im Rahmen einer Studie über die Schiffbarkeit des Ucayali wurden vom peruanischen Ministerium für Verkehr und Kommunikation von 2001 bis 2005 umfangreiche Datenerhebungen durchgeführt. Die Datenerhebungen umfassen u. a. hydrologische und sedimentologische Daten sowie umfangreiche Vermessungen des Flusslaufs. Da der Ucayali bislang keinerlei Regulierungs- oder Ausbaumaßnahmen unterlegen ist, geben die Daten einen Einblick in die natürlichen Fließverhältnisse eines großen Flusses und damit einen Einblick in ein Referenz-Ökosystem. Erste Ergebnisse der Datensichtung und Sedimenttransportberechnungen zum Ucayali werden vorgestellt
