Inhalt
In this seminar we will explore language-related Internet resources that are commonly used by both native and non-native speakers aiming to check the correctness and improve the quality of their (written) English. These include resources such as:
  • online versions of published monolingual dictionaries
  • online versions of published bilingual dictionaries
  • collaborative monolingual dictionaries
  • collaborative multilingual dictionaries
  • collocation dictionaries
  • multi-purpose lexical databases
  • online machine translation tools
  • corpus platforms for teachers and pupils
  • materials for English language teaching
  • tools for academic writing
Work in the seminar will catalogue resources already known to students and compile an inventory of further comparable websites. In a second step, we will jointly develop evaluation criteria for different types of resources. Students’ contributions will be devoted to systematically exploring and discussing the functionalities and limitations of the resources, the data they are based on and their technical background. In particular, we will investigate how well they reflect actual language usage as represented in linguistic corpora (which we will explore through professional platforms such as sketchengine.eu, corpus.byu.edu and cqpweb.lancs.ac.uk). Termpapers will focus on two or more web resources of the same kind, compare their strengths and weaknesses and assess their quality from the point of view of descriptive linguistics. Students will not only become familiar with a variety of potentially useful websites, but they will also acquire a well-informed, critical approach to language-related web resources.
