Abstract

Wer philosophiert, der argumentiert. Dabei hält sich das erstaunliche Vorurteil, daß beim philosophischen Argumentieren einfach nur die formale Logik auf die Themen der Philosophie anzuwenden sei. Aber mit Logikkenntnissen allein ist es nicht getan. Das spannende und aufregende Denkabenteuer philosophischen Argumentierens beginnt jenseits des bloß Formalen. Holm Tetens legt ein Buch vor, das in die Eigenheiten philosophischen Argumentierens ganz von den inhaltlichen Themen und Problemen der Philosophie her einführt. Dabei kommt die formale Logik durchaus zu ihrem Recht, indem zu Anfang ihre Prinzipien und die Technik ihrer Anwendung vorgestellt werden. Ansonsten ist das Buch aber so untechnisch geschrieben, daß man ihm auch ohne tiefere Logikkenntnisse gut folgen kann. Für jeden, der sich für die Philosophie interessiert, sei er Anfänger, Laie oder bereits gut mit ihr vertraut, hält dieses Buch eine Fülle an Informationen und provokanten Denkanregungen bereit.

Abstract

Dieses Lehrbuch bietet eine umfassende Einführung in Grundlagen und Methoden der Computerlinguistik und stellt die wichtigsten Anwendungsgebiete in der Sprachtechnologie vor. Es richtet sich gleichermaßen an Studierende der Computerlinguistik und verwandter Fächer mit Bezug zur Verarbeitung natürlicher Sprache wie an Entwickler sprachverarbeitender Systeme. Nach einem Überblick über Aufgaben und Ziele der Computerlinguistik werden die erforderlichen theoretischen Grundlagen zur Logik, den Formalen Sprachen und statistischen Verfahren ausführlich und beispielbezogen erläutert. Es schließt sich eine Darstellung der verschiedenen Methoden für die Verarbeitung auf den linguistischen Beschreibungsebenen an. Dabei werden zunächst die grundlegenden Begriffe und Konzepte der Phonetik, Morphologie, Syntax, Semantik sowie der Pragmatik vermittelt und darauf aufbauend die Prinzipien der sprachtechnologischen Umsetzung behandelt. Der letzte Teil des Buchs gibt einen Überblick über die sprachtechnologischen Anwendungen in der Praxis und zeigt anhand einer Vielzahl konkreter Fragestellungen - von Spracherkennung über Sprachsynthese, Information Retrieval bis hin zu Dialogsystemen und automatischer Übersetzung - das Zusammenwirken der einzelnen Methoden auf. "Durch dieses Handbuch wird für den deutschsprachigen Raum eine empfindliche Lücke geschlossen. Es umfasst die relevanten Aspekte computerlinguistischer Grundlagenwissenschaft und sprachtechnologischer Anwendung in eindrucksvoller Breite und auf aktuellem Stand" [Manfred Pinkal]

Es richtet sich gleichermaßen an Studierende der Computerlinguistik und verwandter Fächer mit Bezug zur Verarbeitung natürlicher Sprache wie an Entwickler sprachverarbeitender Systeme. Nach einem Überblick über Aufgaben und Ziele der Computerlinguistik werden die erforderlichen theoretischen Grundlagen zur Logik, den Formalen Sprachen, der Graphentheorie, den statistischen Verfahren sowie der Texttechnologie beispielbezogen erläutert. Es schließt sich eine Darstellung der verschiedenen Methoden für die Verarbeitung auf den linguistischen Beschreibungsebenen an. Dabei werden zunächst die grundlegenden Begriffe und Konzepte der Phonetik und Phonologie, Morphologie, Syntax, Semantik sowie der Pragmatik vermittelt und darauf aufbauend die Prinzipien der sprachtechnologischen Umsetzung behandelt. Die drei letzten Teile des Buchs geben Überblicke über die verwendeten sprachtechnologischen Informationsquellen, die vielfältigen Anwendungen in der Praxis sowie über Evaluationsverfahren für sprachverarbeitende Systeme. Anhand konkreter Fragestellungen - von der Entwicklung von Korrekturprogrammen über das Informationsmanagement bis zur Maschinellen Übersetzung - wird das Zusammenwirken der einzelnen Methoden aufgezeigt. Für die dritte Auflage wurden sämtliche Kapitel überarbeitet und aktualisiert sowie zum Teil zu eigenständigen, neuen Kapiteln zusammengeführt. Insbesondere trägt die dritte Auflage der rasanten Entwicklung in der Computerlinguistik und Sprachtechnologie durch eine stärkere Fokussierung auf statistische Grundlagen und Methoden Rechnung. "Durch dieses Handbuch wird für den deutschsprachigen Raum eine empfindliche Lücke geschlossen. Es umfasst die relevanten Aspekte computerlinguistischer Grundlagenwissenschaft und sprachtechnologischer Anwendung in eindrucksvoller Breite und auf aktuellem Stand." [Manfred Pinkal]

Abstract

This book provides a coherent account of the theory of classification. It discusses the contributions made by theoreticians like E.C. Richardson, J.B. Brown, W. Hulme, W.C. Berwick Sayers, H.E. Bliss and S.R. Ranganathan. However, the theory put forward by S.R. Ranganathan predominates the whole book because his contribution is far more than anybody else's. Five major schemes - DDC, UDC, LCC, CC, and BC - have also been discussed. Library classification is a specialized area of study. In recent years, library classification has become a vast and complicated field of study using highly technical terminology. A special attempt has been made to provide descriptions as simple and direct as could be possible. To illustrate the theory of classification, large number of examples have been given from all major schemes so that an average student ould also grasp the concepts easily. This book has been especially written to meet the requirements of students, preparing for their library science, documentation, information science diplomas and degrees.

Abstract

A system of library classification that flashed across the inquiring mind of young Melvil Louis Kossuth Dewey (known as Melvil Dewey) in 1873 is still the most popular classification scheme.. The modern library classification begins with Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). Melvil Dewey devised DDC in 1876. DDC has is credit of 128 years of boudless success. The DDC is being taught as a practical subject throughout the world and it is being used in majority of libraries in about 150 countries. This is the result of continuous revision that 22nd Edition of DDC has been published in July 2003. No other classification scheme has published so many editions. Some welcome changes have been made in DDC 22. To reduce the Christian bias in 200 religion, the numbers 201 to 209 have been devoted to specific aspects of religion. In the previous editions these numbers were devoted to Christianity. to enhance the classifier's efficiency, Table 7 has been removed from DDC 22 and the provision of adding group of persons is made by direct use of notation already available in schedules and in notation -08 from Table 1 Standard Subdivision. The present book is an attempt to explain, with suitable examples, the salient provisions of DDC 22. The book is written in simple language so that the students may not face any difficulty in understanding what is being explained. The examples in the book are explained in a step-by-step procedure. It is hoped that this book will prove of great help and use to the library professionals in general and library and information science students in particular.

Rez. in: KO 31(2005), no.4, S.257-258 (B.H. Kwasnik): "According to the author, there have been many books that address the general topic of cataloging and indexing, but relatively few that focus solely an classification. This Compact and clearly written book promises to "redress the balance," and it does. From the outset the author identifies this as a textbook - one that provides theoretical underpinnings, but has as its main goal the provision of "practical advice and the promotion of practical skills" (p. vii). This is a book for the student, or for the practitioner who would like to learn about other applied bibliographic classification systems, and it considers classification as a pragmatic solution to a pragmatic problem: that of organizing materials in a collection. It is not aimed at classification researchers who study the nature of classification per se, nor at those whose primary interest is in classification as a manifestation of human cultural, social, and political values. Having said that, the author's systematic descriptions provide an exceptionally lucid and conceptually grounded description of the prevalent bibliographic classification schemes as they exist, and thus, the book Could serve as a baseline for further comparative analyses or discussions by anyone pursuing such investigations. What makes this book so appealing, even to someone who has immersed herself in this area for many years, as a practicing librarian, a teacher, and a researcher? I especially liked the conceptual framework that supported the detailed descriptions. The author defines and provides examples of the fundamental concepts of notation and the types of classifications, and then develops the notions of conveying order, brevity and simplicity, being memorable, expressiveness, flexibility and hospitality. These basic terms are then used throughout to analyze and comment an the classifications described in the various chapters: DDC, LCC, UDC, and some well-chosen examples of facetted schemes (Colon, Bliss, London Classification of Business Studies, and a hypothetical library of photographs).
