Abstract Rapid alteration (dynamisation), increased specialisation (differentiation) and growing variety (decentralisation) are considered to be essential tendencies in current professional communication and already implemented in the training regulations of different professions. The present article sets the term for professional communication in contrast to the conceptual more difficult term for jargon. Further and referring to this basis, the three mentioned tendencies will be depicted and discussed in relation to the professional training for automotive mechatronix engineers.

Abstract The main goal of the present paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of some modern cluster analytic techniques in linguistics by means of data from a longitudinal study of language shift of a Romanian community living in Hungary (Borbély 2016). Based on this sample we attempted to explore statistically valid and linguistically meaningful homogeneous types, which characterize bilingual adult persons of a Romanian community in Hungary. Cluster analyses identified seven main types of language shift. It was also shown that the way from the monolingual Romanian to the monolingual Hungarian state is not a linear process. This may give a chance to a successful intervention to slow down the process of assimilation and language shift. Our analyses demonstrated also the usefulness of the MORI indices (Vargha Bergman & Takács 2016) in determining a proper cluster number, and in the validation of a cluster structure, mainly with the application of a correlated random multidimensional normal data set.

Abstract In the paper two statistical methods are presented for the analysis of the reversibility of the component order in binomials (conjoined expressions, freezes). Based on the frequency of binomials, occurring in variable component order, a binomial test and an asymptotic test is applied to give statistical evidence of the significance of the reversibility. By the means of these two tests in a sample of Slovene binomials the group of conditionally irreversible binomials is obtained.

Abstract Email flooding, deleting emails without reading them – both common parts of our daily workflows. Emails need to motivate their recipients to read them and of course, the number of emails we receive every day play a crucial role. The present paper shall not only describe how the email communication between the members of a research project could be enhanced, but also show how helpful emails are for implementing strategic communication optimisation. By involving the project members as probands in a study based on AMASA (Research project “Accessing Medicines in Africa and South Asia”) emails for developing a restructuring of the internal communication, the process of communication optimisation was accepted by the project members and the strategic superiour aims could be met.

Abstract The present paper is about types of seeming subordination (i.e. subordination by form), which in fact bears all distributional assets of insubordination. Yet, such insubordinate subordination is characterized by sentential autonomy in terms of illocutive force (i.e., it is not only presupposed as subordinates usually are). It will be shown that a reliable diagnostic is provided by the selection of modal particles in the narrow sense, which German and Dutch excel in. It will be illustrated that even the property of matrix V2 as opposed to subordinate Vfinal, otherwise a reliable diagnostic in German and Dutch, are not sufficient conditions for subordination vs. matrix status, sentential presupposition vs. assertive status, and independent (autonomous) illocutive force vs. dependent (inherited) illocutive force. Modal particles play a major diagnostic role in this categorial dichotomy. It will be argued that since formal subordination is an insufficient condition for the separation of formal and notional independence of sentential autonomy the theory of sentence types will have fundamentally to be modified with the main asset of a thorough notional rather than formal definition of sentential autonomy.

Models and theories of language change have a long non-scientific and scientific tradition. Beginning with theological approaches like Babylonian language confusion in Genesis 11 at least, going on with structural analysis like Verner’s law and qualitative investigations like Sapir’s drift or Keller’s (economically based) invisible hand theory and (not yet) ending with mathematical descriptions like PiotrowskiAltmann law. Against this background of diverse analyses, a special issue of Glottotheory will be dedicated to such models and theories of language change. Hence, we invite the scientific community to contribute to one or more of the following questions: 1. Which linguistic phenomena are the subject of analysis and are there any postulated links between them? 2. What principles or mechanisms of language change may be formulated (e.g. language synergetics or efficiency of communication)? 3. Which (rather) external (cultural, social, political, economic, etc.) reasons and internal mechanisms (such as creolization, grammaticalization or borrowing) of language change do we know and how do they interact? 4. How can language change be described precisely and which mathematically based theories can be derived from these descriptions? 5. How can qualitativemodels be translated into exact theories of language change, and vice versa, how do these theories have to be interpreted appropriately? 6. In which historical discourse are (more or less) known models and theories of language change situated, and by which interests are they driven or influenced? 7. Are there any new ideas, new foundations or new perspectives for models and theories of language change?

Abstract The present work is an attempt to develop a database of hedges to study the usage and effects of hedges in women writings. ‘A Vindication of the Rights of Woman’, a work of eighteenth century British-feminist Mary Wollstonecraft is compared with a 1970 book ‘The Female Eunuch’ by Germaine Greer. To exploit the functions of linguistic devices of hedges, frequently used hedges in most cited articles are categorized on the basis of the paradigms proposed by Hyland and Yu. Frequencies of various hedges are counted through a computer program written in ‘C’ language. Every hedge category is given a weight and the highest weight category is identified through the program in the selected corpus. The research further points out the validation of the usage of hedges in the works of non-fictional literature.

Abstract The present paper presents the findings of a study comparing the formulations of introductions of academic articles across disciplines. A multidisciplinary corpus of 20 articles from linguistics, medicine, the natural sciences, economics, and sociology is examined. The analysis comprises two general steps, the first being macro-, the second being microstructural. Macrostructurally, the explicit formulations of the moves conducted in the introductions are singled out. These formulations are in turn examined microstructurally in regard to syntax (typology), verbs (valency, grammar-semantics interface, pragmatics) and lexicology (text commentary, lexical deixis, modal expressions). The results are evaluated against the backdrop of possible underlying stylistic patterns of formulation. Subsequently, suggestions for the feasibility of the results within the teaching of German as a (foreign) academic language are made.

Die im Mai 2016 gegründete Forschungsgruppe “Linguistische Statistik” der Philologisch‐Kulturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Wien organisierte vom 10.-12. November 2016 einen Workshop zum Thema “Statistik in der linguistischen Forschung / Statistics in linguistic research”. Die Forschungsgruppe versteht sich als eine offene Plattform für LinguistInnen an der Universität Wien mit einem Interesse an der Verwendung statistischer / quantitativer Methoden. Das zentrale Anliegen ist es sowohl im Bereich der Forschung als auch der Lehre die Anwendung statistischer Verfahren in der Linguistik zu bündeln und zu fokussieren. Die Auftaktveranstaltung erfolgte in Form eines dreitätigen Workshops unter dem Titel “Statistik in der linguistischen Forschung” / “Statistics in linguistic research”, welcher am Institut für Romanistik der Philologisch-Kulturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät stattfand. Primäres Ziel war es dem Bedürfnis von PhDStudierenden und Post-Docs nach einer umfassenden Einführung in die quantitative Linguistik entgegenzukommen. Gleichzeitig aber sollten auch die Studierenden die Möglichkeit erhalten ihre eigenen Arbeiten zu präsentieren und dort insbesondere die Verwendung bzw. die Möglichkeiten und Probleme der Anwendung von quantitativen Methoden kritisch zu reflektieren. Um ein adäquates Forum zu schaffen wurden zu dem Workshop zwei namhafte Experten auf dem Gebiet der quantitativen Linguistik eingeladen: Harald Baayen (Professor für Quantitative Linguistik, Universität Tübingen) und Reinhard Köhler (Professor für Computerlinguistik, Universität Trier).
