    • Workshop „Einfach schwierig?“ ('Simply difficult? Complexity and simplicity in scientific language')

      The aim of the interdisciplinary workshop of the Research Group "Language" is to shed light on the possibilities of complex and simple communication in science.

    • Interdisciplinary workshop "language use in science and humanities"

      In this workshop we want to try a little experiment “on our own” and compare scientific texts from different subjects to see how they use language to present scientific results. We are not concerned with an exact linguistic description of individual phenomena, but rather with our spontaneous impressions: How do texts from other disciplines affect us, which stylistic features surprise or irritate us, what seems familiar to us? What linguistic means do the articles use to present their problem/question? What is considered as 'fact' in each case? How is the argumentation made?

    • Unspoken

      Under the title "Ungesagtes" ("Unspoken"), the five articles and one discussion deal with aspects that one would tend to contrast with and deduct from the ideal of objectivity of science as "subjective" parts. On the one hand, it is about what the researching subject brings into the scientific work in often subtle ways: own views, emotions, values, personal beliefs. On the other hand, the influence of everything subjective on human behavior is itself also a topic of research.

    • Metaphern als Erkenntnisinstrument – eine linguistische Perspektive auf Metaphern der A/Symmetrie

      Kolloquium „A/Symmetrie — Interdisziplinäre Perspektiven“

      In ihrem Vortrag wirft Constanze Spieß aus einer kognitionslinguistischen Perspektive einen Blick auf theoretische Aspekte des Metaphernbegriffs. Es werden verschiedene Erscheinungsformen der A/Symmetrie-Metapher in öffentlichen Diskursen und deren kommunikative Funktionalität thematisiert.

    • A conversation analytical approach to A/Symmetries

      Colloquium „A/Symmetry — interdisciplinary Perspectives“

      In Conversation Analysis (CA), various a/symmetries are considered as an inherent part of interaction. In asymmetric interaction, the division of communication labour is uneven and the linguistically more competent participants carry the responsibility of taking the conversation forward. This might be a challenge especially for the more competent language users, who often seek advice on how to deal with the asymmetry. In Finland, guidelines for spoken Easy Language have been developed to support more competent speakers and to raise their language awareness.

    • Workshop „Israel-Related Anti-Semitism”

      How can Israel-related anti-Semitism be recognised? What distinguishes it from legitimate criticism of Israeli policy? And how should comparisons and exaggerations be dealt with, especially in light of German history? Members of Die Junge Akademie would like to address these questions in a workshop. Speeches by experts from anti-Semitism research, linguistics, sociology and political science will serve as a basis.

    • Workshop "Mental Images in the Middle Ages and Neuroscience - New Perspectives"

      As part of the project "Lucid Dreaming, Now and Then", medievalist Racha Kirakosian (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and Hamburg Institute for Advanced Study) is organising an internal workshop on "Mental Images in the Middle Ages and Neuroscience - New Perspectives".

      The ability to see images before "the inner eye" was theoretically discussed in scholastic writings in the Middle Ages as well as critically presented in literary texts. Mental images such as visions, daydreams and sleep dreams played an important role in epistemological processes, religious experiences and artistic arguments for the question of finding and representing truth. Despite their importance for the historical understanding of the human brain, however, medieval concepts of "inner vision" remain under-researched. Can current findings from the neurosciences help to open up the medieval sources in a new way? And, conversely, can ideas from the Middle Ages inspire innovative experiments in the field of neuropsychology? The Hamburg workshop will address these questions by bringing together scientists from the relevant fields for an interdisciplinary discussion.

    • Colloquium „Doing Asymmetry“

      Bettina M. Bock and Thorsten Merl are organising the colloquium "Doing Asymmetry: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Verbal Behaviour and Pedagogical Practice".

      On four dates, researchers will talk about the concept of asymmetry from linguistic, educational and sociological perspectives. What theoretical foundations and what implicit semantics exist in the disciplines, and in what way are they compatible with each other?

    • Image / Language

      Science is inconceivable without language. But what about images? In six articles, the new Junge Akademie Magazin explores this question from different perspectives. Additionally, the poster page poses the question, solely through pictures, of what influence such simple images as emojis have on our ideas of science and of scientists.
