Project summary: Our project seeks to familiarise students with the various pitfalls of employing digital tools to translate multilingual literatures. Offering hands-on experiences of the social, political and cultural implications of machine translation (MT), it fosters students’ AI literacy by engaging them in:

Project summary: A range of recent Anglophone novels are located at the edge of English, fostering connections to other languages such as French, Hindi, Italian, Kiswahili, Mandarin or Spanish. The project seeks to introduce students in the Master’s degree programmes “Comparative Studies” and “Literary Translation” to the potentials of approaching multilingual narratives by employing computer-based digital humanities methods derived from corpus linguistics and natural language processing.

The project “Choose Your Own Adventure: Teleporting to a Virtual Phonetics Laboratory” by Prof. Dr. Kevin Tang, Dr. Chris Geissler and Eoin O’Reilly will be funded by the E-Learning Förderfonds.

We are creating a new set of web-based interactive learning units in phonetics and phonology. These serve two purposes: supplementing student learning in the English Linguistics Basismodul, and providing review material for intermediate/advanced-level courses.

The project, “Reanimating African American Oral Histories of the Gulf South: Tailoring Education and Research through Natural Language Understanding”, involves the reformatting and annotation of 500 oral histories of African Americans from the Gulf South, representing the stories of people who lived through the transatlantic slave trade up to the present day, as well as the development of a new web search interface and 150 curriculum modules for K–12 educators.

Speech as a non-invasive biomarker could provide researchers and clinicians with new means to capture fine changes in speech articulation patterns associated with linguistic phenomena in the normal population or functional changes in articulation in individuals with disorders.
