This paper investigates one example class where such uncritical belief in the question-answer test has led to the assumption of rather complex focus projection rules: in these examples, pitch accent placement has been claimed to depend on certain parts of the focused constituents being given or not. It is demonstrated that such focus projection rules are unnecessarily complex and in turn require the assumption of unnecessarily complicated meaning rules, not to speak of the difficulties to give a precise semantic/pragmatic definition of the allegedly involved givenness property. For the sake of the argument, an alternative analysis is put forward which relies solely on alternative sets following Mats Rooth's work, and avoids any recourse to givenness.

The emphasis of the first part is on general considerations for the handling of heterogeneous data sets: After showing that diversity in transcription data is partly conceptually and partly technologically motivated, it is argued that the processing of transcription corpora should be approached via a three-level architecture which separates form (application) and content (data) on the one hand, and logical and physical data structures on the other hand. Such an architecture does not only pave the way for modern text-technological approaches to linguistic data processing, it can also help to decide where and how a standardization in the work with heterogeneous data is possible and desirable and where it would run counter to the needs of the research community. It is further argued that, in order to ensure user acceptance, new solutions developed in this approach must take care not to abandon established concepts too quickly. The focus of the second part is on some practical experiences with users and technologies gained in the four years' project work. Concerning the practical development work, the value of open standards like XML and Unicode is emphasized and some limitations of the "platform-independent" JAVA technology are indicated. With respect to users of the EXMARaLDA system, a predominantly conservative attitude towards technological innovations in transcription corpus work can be stated: individual users tend to stick to known functionalities and are reluctant to adopt themselves to the new possibilities. Furthermore, an active commitment to cooperative corpus work still seems to be the exception rather than the rule. It is concluded that technological innovations can contribute their share to a progress in the work with heterogeneous linguistic data, but that they will have to be supplemented, in the long run, with an adequate methodological reflection and the creation of an appropriate infrastructure.}, language = {de} } @article{Wagner2005, author = {Wagner, Andreas}, title = {Unity in diversity}, series = {Interdisciplinary studies on information structure : ISIS ; working papers of the SFB 632}, journal = {Interdisciplinary studies on information structure : ISIS ; working papers of the SFB 632}, number = {2}, issn = {1866-4725}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-8625}, pages = {1 -- 20}, year = {2005}, abstract = {This paper describes the creation and preparation of TUSNELDA, a collection of corpus data built for linguistic research.

Doch die Anwendung dieses Instruments ist in vielen F{\"a}llen sehr kritisch zu beurteilen. So enthalten gerade bei Zeitreihen die Ausgangsdaten oft temporale Trends, die zu einem zu hohen Zusammenhangsmaß f{\"u}hren. Gerade bei der Arbeit mit Finanzdaten wird allerdings mit den Differenzen oder sogar mit den prozentualen {\"A}nderungen gearbeitet. Hier sind die Trends im wesentlichen extrahiert. Die Daten sind somit fast immer station{\"a}r und die Instrumente der linearen Regression damit anwendbar. Auch die Korrelation kann somit problemlos ermittelt werden. Doch gerade bei solchen transformierten Daten sind praktisch kaum noch signifikante Zusammenh{\"a}nge nachweisbar. Daß die Wahrheit manchmal in der Mitte liegt, versucht diese Arbeit mit Hilfe der Kointegration aufzuzeigen. Immobilienanlagen sind aufgrund ihrer geringen Korrelation mit Aktien und Renten v.a. im Rahmen langfristiger Anlagestrategien interessant, da durch sie hohe Diversifikationseffekte zu erzielen sind. Die risikoreduzierende Wirkung wird mit Hilfe der Korrelationskoeffizienten begr{\"u}ndet. Dieses Vorgehen ist jedoch zweifelhaft, da die Korrelationskoeffizienten typischerweise anhand der periodischen - und damit kurzfristigen - Abweichungen bestimmt werden. Ein zwischen diesen Verm{\"o}gensklassen aufgrund des gleichen {\"o}konomischen Hintergrunds plausibler langfristiger Zusammenhang wird daher ggf. nicht erfaßt, die tats{\"a}chlichen Diversifikationseffekte werden somit m{\"o}glicherweise {\"u}ber-, Risiken damit untersch{\"a}tzt.

While it is usually assumed that the semantics of sentences with determiner quantifiers and those with adverbial quantifiers basically come out the same, we will show by way of new data that quantification over events is more restricted than quantification over individuals. This is because eventualities in contrast to individuals have to be located in time which is done using contextual information according to a pragmatic resolution strategy. If the contextual information and the tense information given in the respective sentence contradict each other, the sentence is uninterpretable.

The hypothesis that German fulfills some of the most widely accepted rules of accent assignment— predicting focus domain integration—was only partly confirmed. Adjacency between argument and verb induces a single accent on the argument, as recognized in the literature, but interruption of this sequence by a modifier often induces remodeling of the accent pattern with a single accent on the modifier. The verb is rarely stressed. All models based on linear alignment or adjacency between elements belonging to a single accent domain fail to account for this result. A cyclic analysis of prosodic domain formation is proposed in an optimality-theoretic framework that can explain the accent pattern. Japanese wh-questions always exhibit focus intonation (FI).
