The conference proceedings from the 26th symposium Obdobja – Metode in zvrsti (2007) contain 49 papers from 50 authors (28 domestic and 22 foreign). The interdisciplinariness and diversity of the authors regarding their method, approach or linguistic school, the application of studies of other language types on dialect studies, and the study of various function types within dialects ensures the development of scientific and technical terminology. Therefore, the proceedings are of great importance for the scientific field as well as for further research.
C.01 Editorial board of a foreign/international collection of papers/book
COBISS.SI-ID: 248378368This was the 28th symposium from a series of international Slovene studies symposia organized by the Centre for Slovene as a second/foreign language at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana. There were contributors from virtually all institutions which deal with Slovene studies – from the university as well as the public and private research sectors.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 248431360The focus of discussion is expressive, stylistic and semantic variety, terminological and phrasal use, and synonymous concepts of the body and its parts in man and animals in the millennium of writing from the Freising Manuscripts (972–1039), in different selected genres (primarily devotional literature, oaths, popular scientific texts, dictionaries), to the end of the 19th century, when we adopted our own gymnastic terminology under the influence of Czech and the Slovene-German Dictionary (1894–1895), which included a large selection (around 30) of new expressions relating to the body.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 39501666In Slovene linguistics the phonological system of the Slovene standard language has often been described as something that changes only slowly and is thus relatively stable. In principle, this has meant a lack of research and uncritical acceptance of certain claims that are not supported by the material evidence. A modern phonetic analysis requires reflection on the concept of the standard language and the location of phonetic-phonological analysis in terms of research into the living language and its use.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 40953442The paper presents an approach to expand Slovene wordnet with domain-specific multi-word terms by exploiting multiple resources. A large monolingual Slovene corpus of texts from the domain of informatics was used to harvest terminology from, and a parallel English-Slovene corpus and an online dictionary as bilingual resources to help with the mapping of terms to the Slovene wordnet. The method proposed in this paper appears to be a successful way to improve the domain coverage of wordnet as it takes advantage of various multilingual resources and yields numerous term candidates.
