Subject: e-learning for German language
I am a graduating student and I am looking for e-learning used for the
"learning" and teaching of the German language. I know that it is more
likely to find the English language, but I thought you can help me in
finding something.
I will then examin the software used to make it. My "thesis paper" is about
computer linguistic, that's is why I subscribed to "Humanist".
Thank you
Cristina Varisco

Subject: doing the ethnography
In the application of computing to research in the humanities, it is often
said that minds change as a result. After all the silt, twigs, sand and
pebbles of the dawn-of-a-new-consciousness sort have been washed away,
nuggets of gold remain. Scholars whom one trusts attest to their minds
having been changed -- and not so much about computing in isolation as
about their own fields of study. Anyone who has done such research will not
find their statements at all difficult to believe. But one must move on
from belief, at least we must, to the details. So how is this done?
It seems obvious to me that ethnographic studies need to be done of work in
collaborative humanities computing projects to get at the details of this
claimed and believed metanoia. *How* are minds changed? In what
*particulars*? What *exactly* tends to induce the change? Is this a
permanent flip, a phase in a flip-flop or the making of a new mind that
co-exists alongside the old one, creating a useful double vision? What are
we leaving behind, making obscure by passing over the cognitive digital
threshold? And so on.
Comments?
Yours,

Subject: Sonarant consonant tendencies in Turkic languages
Dear Humanist colleagues, I have computed several Turkic languages (among
them Tatar, Turkish, Turkmen, Bashkir, Jakut, Shor, Altaj-Kizhi, Azeri,
Tuvinian, etc.). I discovered that by the Chi-squire criterion the sonorant
consonants occur at the end of the word (Auslaut) more than at the
beginning of the word (Anlaut). It is usually several times greater. I
wonder if it is the same in other world languages? I mean if the tendency
of the greater occurence of sonorants at the end of the word is usual for
other language families. I plan to verify it on the texts of the
Tungus-Manchurian, Paleo-Asiatic, Indo-European, Finno-Ugric, Samoyedic and
Finno-Ugric language families. I am writing an article on the use of the
sonorant consonants at the beginning and end of the word in Turkic and the
other languages. please, advise me in what journal I may get it published.
Looking to hearing from you to
