Ich bin seit Oktober 2011 DFG Heisenberg-Stipendiatin und Projektleiterin des DFG-Einzelprojekts Distributionelle Ansätze für die Modellierung von semantischen Beziehungen sowie Projektleiterin des Teilprojekts D6 Lexikalisch-semantische Faktoren in der Ereignisinterpretation im SFB 732.

Frühere Zugehörigkeiten:
Forschung

My work applies data-intensive, statistical methods to linguistic questions, with a focus on the syntax-semantics interface and lexical-semantic phenomena. As a main challenge I consider the linguistic and cognitive plausibility of the approaches with respect to the tasks.

The topics of my research include grammar development, corpus-based lexical acquisition, and the application to lexicography; the automatic induction of semantic classifications, the compositionality of German multi-word expressions, the evaluation of corpus-based semantic knowledge, and cognitive feedback (mainly with respect to associations) to semantic relations.

Ressourcen

  1. Empirical Lexical Information

    Based on manually developed grammars and statistical parsers, we acquired various types of lexical information from German and English corpora.



  2. Associations

    We have collected associate responses and created association norms for various types of stimuli.

  3. Software



  4. Information Resources for Computational Linguistics (mainly in German)
