Project title: Compounds and Collocations in German and Slovak

Implementation period: 07/2024 - 06/2026

Position: Principal Investigator

Compounding is the most productive word formation mechanism in German. In Slovak, compounds are much less frequent. For the translation of German nominal compounds into Slovak, the most common form is what is called a collocation. The non-head in German is rendered by a relational adjective, a genitive noun or a prepositional expression. This situation raises different questions depending on whether it is considered from the German or from the Slovak perspective. When we start from German, the main question is which construction will be used in Slovak. When we start from Slovak, the main question is how to distinguish the instances corresponding to a compound in German from the ones where the same construction is used purely syntactically. This amounts to the question of whether a concept is named or a descriptive expression is formed. The aim of this project is to find factors that can be used to predict with a reasonable accuracy how these questions can be answered in individual cases. The methodology in the project will be based on the analysis of existing resources and extensions from corpora. We have access to lists of compounds and collocations and to large corpora for both languages. We will start by selecting a noun in German and its translation in Slovak and analyse the compounds in German and the collocations in Slovak they are a part of. By classifying the compounds and collocations in terms of various semantic criteria, we discover correlations between the two languages, which we formulate as a hypothesis. On the basis of the predictions that evolve from this hypothesis, further nouns will be chosen, so that the predictions can be tested and the hypothesis adapted as necessary. In this way, we will gradually develop a system of relevant factors that can be used in the development of teaching materials and as a resource for translation.

Project title: A corpus-based crosslinguistic comparison of deverbal nouns with international suffixes.

Implementation period: 01/2021 - 12/2023

Position: Principal Investigator

This project aimed to investigate the formation of certain types of deverbal nouns in English, Slovak, and German. In exploring the mechanisms involved in their formation, particular attention will be paid to the position of suffixes derived from Latin -ation and its language-specific correlates in the project languages. Nouns with this suffix appear in a range of languages and show the effects of the interaction of word formation and borrowing. The primary aim of the project was to find out how, for each of the languages in the project, the formation of deverbal nouns with -ation and competing word formation formatives is influenced by properties of the language system. Quantitative data were collected from large corpora and available derivational databases for the project languages. On the basis of these language-specific results, we arrived more general conclusions about how linguistic mechanisms are exchanged among selected European languages.

Project title: Adaptive matrix tests in audiometry and perceptual phonetics.

Implementation period: 01/2021 - 12/2023

Position: Deputy of Principal Investigator

This scientific project aims to create a database of sentence tests generated on the basis of adaptive test matrices, which represent a modern and widely used principle in the creation of audiometric tests. Adaptive test matrix and sentences made of it possess a few significant advantages in comparison to sentence test databases that are used conventionally. The advantages include zero predictability of phrase content, almost infinite number of tests, thanks to a vast database - 100 000 test units. Moreover, the tests are widely accepted among medical practitioners, patients and linguists. The tests based on adaptive test matrices allow us to check and compare therapeutic approaches worldwide and the results are accepted throughout scientific communities as well as the third sector. Tests results in the native language can serve to improve therapeutic processes at ORL clinics. These advantages were published in recommendations made by the ICRA Working Group and ISO 8253-3:2012 standard.

Project title: Research into extralinguistic factors of word-formation and word-interpretation.

Implementation period: 07/2017 - 06/2021

Position: member of research team

The project aimed to examine both the formation and meaning predictability of novel complex words with regard to a selected sociolinguistic factor (age of language speakers) and with regard to a psycholinguistic factor of creative abilities of language speakers. This sort of psycholinguistic aspect of the formation and meaning predictability of novel complex words has not yet been studied either in word-formation or in word-interpretation, not to speak of its comprehensive analysis in an integrated formation-interpretation research project. The project was interdisciplinary and combined research methods of linguistics, sociolinguistics and psychology. The main aim of the project was to determine the correlation between psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic factors with regard to word-formation and word- interpretation.

Project title: Comparative Research of the Distinctive Features of Phonemes in Slovak, English and German.

Implementation period: 01/2016 - 12/2018

Position: member of research team

The project aimed at the search of connections between sound units of the phonological and phonetic degree of abstraction from the point of view of their relevance in the functioning of the acoustic signal in the complex connection of individual degrees of communication. The project concentrated on the sound system of present-day Slovak, English and German, reinforcing general-linguistic and comparative theoretical research. The link between phonetic and phonological parts of the signal was verified on the basis of the latest methods of experimental phonetics with an emphasis on the perception component of the acoustic signal. The research (not carried out before) focused on the sound properties of the three languages with a device by which sound chains can be calibrated. These were used in the perceptional verification of experimental results of measuring periodicity, sonority, voice and harmonicity of the speech signal.
