CALLIDUS (Computer-Aided Language Learning: Lexikonerwerb im Lateinunterricht durch korpusgestützte Methoden)

CALLIDUS
Das interdisziplinäre Forschungsprojekt versucht wissenschaftlich nachzuweisen, dass eine Wortschatzarbeit, die auf der Basis eines tief annotierten elektronischen Textkorpus' erfolgt, die Wortschatzkompetenz der Lateinlernenden positiver beeinflusst als die traditionelle Wortschatzarbeit im Lateinunterricht.
Computer-Aided Language Learning: Lexikonerwerb im Lateinunterricht durch korpusgestützte Methoden

CALLIDUS bringt drei Kompetenzbereiche - den Computer- und Medienservice, die Fachdidaktik Latein und die Korpuslinguistik - zusammen, um verschiedenen Forschungsfragen bzgl. eines korpusbasierten Wortschatzerwerbs im Lateinunterricht nachzugehen.
Callidus is an interdisciplinary research project that delivers new methods of vocabulary acquisition in Latin. Its main purpose is to show the use of corpus-based methods in real teaching environments. Furthermore the project develops a software which is able to use linguistic research tools for creating corpus-based vocabulary exercises.

Vocabulary Acquisition in Latin using Corpus-based Methods

(Computer-Aided Language Learning: Lexikonerwerb im Lateinunterricht durch korpusgestützte Methoden)

In the CALLIDUS project three different departments are working together: the Computer- and Mediaservices, the Didactics of Latin and the Corpuslinguistics. Our common aim is to prove the usefulness of corpus-based methods for teaching Latin and to develop a digital tool as a prototype of corpus-based vocabulary acquisition.

Open Access Monograph Series: Digital Classics Books

Digital Classics Books
Die Reihe Digital Classics Books wird als Monographienreihe im Open Access erscheinen und soll sowohl für Qualifikationsschriften offenstehen, die im Kontext von Digital Humanities-Projekten entstehen sowie für einzelne umfangreichere Beiträge bzw. mehrere, inhaltlich zusammenhängende Aufsätze, die als Sammelband erscheinen können.
Digital Classics Books soll eine Reihe werden, die Arbeiten aus den Altertumswissenschaften und angrenzenden Gebieten in Verbindung mit der Anwendung oder Entwicklung von Methoden aus den Digital Humanities veröffentlicht. Die eBooks werden für die Nutzer frei zum Download bereitgestellt und die weitergehenden Möglichkeiten des ePublishing sollen mit dieser Publikationsform ebenfalls realisiert werden. Die Reihe wird daher sowohl die Integration von Forschungsdaten direkt im Buch als auch online in einem Datenrepositorium ermöglichen. So sollen Leser nicht nur exemplarische Ergebnisse im Anhang, sondern die exportierten und aufbereiteten Gesamtergebnisse in Form von Tabellen im Datenrepositorium zu ihrer Verfügung haben.
Elektronische und gedruckte Publikationen sollen sich in der Reihe ergänzen, da gleichzeitig Print on Demand angeboten wird: Die Publikation der Werke erfolgt daher parallel in mehreren Versionen - sowohl in kostenfreier, digitaler Form (als PDF- und HTML-Datei) wie auch als gedrucktes Buch (Hard- oder Softcover), das im Sortiments- und im Online-Buchhandel kostengünstig erhältlich sein wird. Wir möchten damit für Autorinnen und Autoren zusätzlich zu unserem eJournal Digital Classics Online einen weiteren interessanten Publikationsort anbieten, der auch den Bedürfnissen der traditionellen Buchwissenschaften nach Verlagspublikation als gedruckter Monographie nachkommt und für Autoren entsprechend unseren Vorstellungen von Open Access ohne Gebühren zur Verfügung gestellt wird.

Digitale Altertumswissenschaften:
Thesen und Debatten zu Methoden und Anwendungen

Digital Classics Books, Band 4
Dieser Sammelband analysiert unterschiedliche Prozesse in den Digitalen Altertumswissenschaften für Wissenschaftler, die sich bisher noch nicht intensiv mit diesem Thema auseinandergesetzt haben. Dabei handelt es sich um eine selektive Bestandsaufnahme zu einzelnen zentralen Entwicklungen und Problemfeldern. Auf diese Weise erhält der Leser einen instruktiven Einblick in verschiedene Debatten, die ihn wiederum andere, hier weniger angesprochene Themen schneller verstehen und erfassen lassen. Neben Erörterungen grundsätzlicher Sachfragen und Tendenzen (neue Arbeitsmethoden, digitales Publizieren, Arbeiten mit Datenbanken und Informationssystemen) vereinigt der Band auch eine paradigmatische Diskussion zu den digitalen Editionen, um bestimmte Spezialfragen zu präsentieren und damit verbundene Debatten exemplarisch für die allgemeine Diskussion über Digitalisierung in den Altertumswissenschaften nachzuzeichnen. Gerade in einem oftmals schwer zu überblickenden fließenden Prozess, bei dem viele gleichzeitige Entwicklungen sich überschneiden, versteht sich der Band als Angebot, zwischenzeitliche Ergebnisse, Errungenschaften, Potentiale oder Sackgassen zu thematisieren und auf diese Weise Orientierung zu bieten.

Platon Digital
Tradition und Rezeption

Digital Classics Books, Band 3
Platon ist nach Homer der antike Autor mit der reichhaltigsten Rezeption vom Altertum über das Mittelalter bis in die Neuzeit. Gleichwohl und gerade aus diesem Grund ist diese bisher allenfalls bruchstückhaft aufgearbeitet worden. Die Autoren versuchen, diesem alten Ziel geisteswissenschaftlicher Forschung auf neuen Wegen näherzukommen, indem sie eine informationswissenschaftliche Perspektive auf Platon und seine Rezeption anwenden. Dazu sind innovative Methoden der Paraphrasensuche entwickelt worden, um diese auch als Methode altertumswissenschaftlich und kulturwissenschaftlich interessierter Forschung zu etablieren.

Digital Classics in der Praxis
Arbeiten mit eAQUA: Eine Einführung mit Beispielen

Digital Classics Books, Band 2
"Digital Classics in der Praxis:  Arbeiten mit eAQUA. Eine Einführung mit Beispielen“ führt in die praktische Arbeit mit den aus dem Textmining stammenden Suchmöglichkeiten der Kookkurrenzsuche und Parallelstellensuche ein. Das Buch ist als niedrigschwellige Einführung konzipiert, die keine Vorkenntnisse erfordert. Ein Einsatz als Lehrbuch zur Textanalyse in althistorisch-philologischen Übungen ist daher problemlos möglich. In einem allgemeinen Einführungsteil werden die Tools anhand ihrer im Portal eAQUA angebotenen Funktionalitäten erklärt. Die Kookkurrenzsuche zeigt semantische Zusammenhänge an, die Suche nach Parallelstellen listet Übereinstimmungen zwischen einem Werk und einem gesamten Referenzkorpus der lateinischen oder griechischen Literatur auf. Abhängigkeiten, Einflüsse und  Transferwege des antiken Wissens lassen sich mit den Tools rekonstruieren und bringen Schülern und Studierenden die antiken Texte auf neue Weise nahe.
Weiterhin werden Begriffe aus der Korpusanalyse sowie die Bedeutung und der Einsatz von  Signifikanzmaßen erklärt. Ein ausführliches Glossar erläutert die heute häufigsten Begriffe aus den Digital Humanities.

Der Protreptikos des Iamblich
Rekonstruktion, Refragmentarisierung und Kontextualisierung mit Textmining

Charlotte Schubert , Sven-Philipp Brandt (Hrsg.)
Digital Classics Books, Band 1
Der vorliegende Sammelband vereint verschiedene Aufsätze, die mit den Methoden des Textmining Iamblichs Protreptikos analysieren und dadurch neue Erkenntnisse für den Forschungsdiskurs über dessen Zusammenhänge mit dem aristotelischen Protreptikos und mit den Werken Platons liefern.
Iamblichs Protreptikos befasst sich mit der Lehre des Pythagoras und setzt sich zu diesem Zweck mit den philosophischen Strömungen der klassischen Zeit auseinander. Entsprechend viele Zitate jener Philosophen sind in diesem Werk zu finden. Die hier verwendeten Textminingtools des Portals eAQUA sind die Zitatanalyse und die Kookkurrenzanalyse. Beide Tools geben einen vielversprechenden Einblick in die Zitationspraxis Iamblichs.

In preparation, you might like to read Iliad 4.1–421 and Odyssey 11.225–332, as well as the first chapter of Homer’s Thebes on the Center for Hellenic Studies website.

Joel Christensen

Joel Christensen is Associate Professor and Chair in the Department of Classical Studies at Brandeis University. He taught previously at the University of Texas at San Antonio (2007-2016). He received his BA and MA from Brandeis (’01) in Classics and English and his PhD in Classics from New York University (2007) where he also received an Advanced Certificate in Poetics and Theory.

Professor Christensen has been a Fellow at the Center for Hellenic Studies (2013) and has received the Society for Classical Studies’ Award for Excellence in Teaching at the Collegiate Level (2013). In addition to articles on language, myth and literature in the Homeric epics, he has published A Beginner’s Guide to Homer (One World, 2013) and also Homer’s Thebes (CHS, 2019) with Elton T. E. barker as well as A Commentary on the Homeric Battle of Frogs and Mice (Bloomsbury, 2018) with Erik Robinson.

Elton T. E. Barker

“I’m a Reader in Classical Studies, having joined The Open University as a Lecturer in July 2009. Before then, I had been a Tutor and Lecturer at Christ Church, Oxford (2004-9), and also lectured at Bristol, Nottingham and Reading.

“I came to Classical Studies late – my “A” levels were in English, Geography and Mathematics. I studied Classical Civilisation at the University of Leeds, and went on to do a Masters in Greek Civilisation there, and then, in order to learn the languages, a further Masters in Greek and Latin at Ohio State University in the USA. For my PhD, I studied in Cambridge (Pembroke College), where I investigated representations of verbal contest – or agon – in different ancient Greek genres, under the supervision of Simon Goldhill and Paul Cartledge.

“I have been a Junior Research Fellowship at Wolfson College, Cambridge (2002-4) and a Visiting Fellow at Venice International University (2003-4). From 2012-2013 I had a Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers awarded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for research at the Freie Universität Berlin and the University of Leipzig. I have been awarded a Graduate Teaching Award from Pembroke College (Cambridge) and twice won awards from the University of Oxford for an Outstanding Contribution to Teaching.”

Classics in the Classroom

Classics in the Classroom
As part of the extensive outreach and public-engagement programme of the Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology of the University of Birmingham, the project aims to provide teachers with educational materials which will be closely related to the content of the OCR Classics specifications and will be freely available online. The first pack of materials presented here is dedicated to the Late Roman Republic, a subject covered in both the A-Level Classical Civilisation syllabus and the A-Level Ancient History syllabus, and has been prepared by Dr Hannah Cornwell and Ben Salisbury (PhD Candidate), both experts in the field. The pack contains a series of videos as well as notes to teachers, slides and workbooks for pupils, all of which are downloadable and ready to use in the classroom. 
What is unique with this initiative is that the content of the material was not only designed for teachers, but also decided by teachers. Talking into account a large number of answers given by Ancient History and Classical Civilisation teachers to an online questionnaire, Dr Cornwell and Mr Salisbury created educational materials suited specifically to the teachers’ needs and purposes. It is with great enthusiasm therefore that we now publicly share this material. We are hopeful that it will be of use to both teachers and pupils!

Latin and Arabic: Entangled Histories

Latin and Arabic: Entangled Histories
Daniel G. König (Ed.)  
Heidelberg Studies on Transculturality
  Latin and Arabic
As linguistic systems comprising a large variety of written and oral registers including derivate “languages” and “dialects,” Latin and Arabic have been of paramount importance for the history of the Euromediterranean since Antiquity. Moreover, due to their long-term function as languages of administration, intellectual activity, and religion, they are often regarded as cultural markers of Europe and the (Arabic-)Islamic sphere respectively. This volume explores the many dimensions and ramifications of Latin-Arabic entanglement both from macro-historical as well as from micro-historical perspectives. Visions of history marked by the binary opposition of “Islam” and “the West” tend to ignore these important facets of Euromediterranean entanglement, as do historical studies that explain complex transcultural processes without giving attention to their linguistic dimension.
