The term directive speech act is being used in a more narrow sense than intended by Searle (1975).Dramatic plays are used as data source for the original language and the translation into the other language. The four texts are Brechts “Mutter Courage und Ihre Kinder“, Dürrenmatts „Die Physiker“, Osbornes „Look Back in Anger“, and Leighs „Abigail‘s Party“.The central questions of this study are: Which forms are available in each language? Which specific function does a form fulfill in the system of each language? How do forms correspond across languages?In general, realizations as regular sentences, irregular sentences and non-sentences are possible. In the case of regular sentences, the subcategories imperative, declarative, yes-no interrogative, and wh-interrogative are possible in both languages. German also offers the adhortative and the infinitive. There are remarkable differences in terms of frequencies for these types.In general, German and English behave rather similar in their use of the clause types. The detailed qualitative description of specific examples constitutes the main part of the analysis and answers the following questions: which forms occur as equivalences? Under which conditions can declaratives and interrogatives be used directively?Non-sentences also play an important role. Formal categories, however, are not helpful; hence the utterances were grouped according to functional aspects. These are: propositional content, relationship between speaker and hearer, and illocutionary force. AU - Freudinger, Markus ID - 46140 TI - Syntactic perspectives on directive speech acts : a contrastive study ER - TY - CONF AB - The conceptual condensability of technical terms permits us to use them as effective queries to search scientific databases. However, authors often employ alternative expressions to represent the meanings of specific terms, in other words, Terminological Paraphrases (TPs) in the literature for certain reasons. In this paper, we propose an effective way to retrieve “de facto relevance documents” which only contain those TPs and cannot be searched by conventional models in an environment with only controlled vocabularies by adapting Predicate Argument Tuple (PAT). The experiment confirms that PAT-based document retrieval is an effective and promising method to search those kinds of documents and to improve terminology-based scientific information access models.

We therefore use so-called domain-dependent data (D³) completely based on language-specific key expressions and HTML patterns to recognize every single event given on the investigated web page. One of the most remarkable advantages of our method is that it does not require any additional classification steps based on machine learning algorithms or keyword extraction methods; it is a so-called one-step mining technique. Moreover, another important criteria is that our system is robust to DOM and layout modifications made by web designers. Thus, preliminary experimental results are provided to demonstrate proof-of-concept of such an approach tested on websites in the German opera domain. Furthermore, we could show that our proposed technique outperforms other data record mining applications run on event sites.

Since many businesses are moving to online communities as a means of communicating directly with their customers, social media has to be explored as an additional communication channel between individuals and companies. While the English-speaking consumers on Facebook are more likely to respond to communication rather than to initiate communication with an organisation, some German companies already have regularly updated Facebook pages for customer service and support, e.g. Telekom. Therefore, the idea of classifying and evaluating public comments addressed to German companies is based on an existing demand. In order to maintain an active Facebook wall, the consumer posts have to be categorised and then automatically assigned to the corresponding business processes (e.g. the technical service, shipping, marketing, accounting, etc.). This service works like an issue tracking system sending e-mails to the corresponding person in charge of customer service and support. That way, business process management systems which are already used to e-mail communication can benefit from social media. This allows the company to follow general trends in customer opinions on the Internet; moreover it facilates the recording of two-sided communication for customer relationship management and the company’s response will be delivered through consumer’s preferred medium: Facebook.
