Copilots for Linguists : AI, Constructions, and Frames
AI can assist the linguist in doing research on the structure of language.This Element illustrates this possibility by showing how a conversational AI based on a Large Language Model (AI LLM chatbot) can assist the Construction Grammarian, and especially the Frame Semanticist.An AI LLM chatbot is a text-generation system trained on vast amounts of text.To generate text, it must be able to find patterns in the data and mimic some linguistic capacity, at least in the eyes of a cooperative human user.The authors do not focus on whether AIs “understand” language.Rather, they investigate whether AI LLM chatbots are useful tools for linguists.They reframe the discussion from what AI LLM chatbots can do with language to what they can do for linguists.They find that a chatty LLM can labor usefully as an eliciting interlocutor, and present precise, scripted routines for prompting conversational LLMs.

Digital Cultural Heritage
This book provides an overview of various application spheres and supports further innovations needed in information management and in the processes of knowledge generation.The professions, organizations and scientific associations involved are unusually challenged by the complexity of the data situation.Cartography has always been the central field of application for georeferencing digital cultural heritage (DCH) objects.It is particularly important in enabling spatial relation analysis between any number of DCH objects or of their granular details.In addition to the pure geometric aspects, the cognitive relations that lead to knowledge representation and derivation of innovative use processes are also of increasing importance.Further, there is a societal demand for spatial reference and analytics (e.g. the extensive use of cognitive concepts of "map" and "atlas" for a variety of social topics in the media).There is a huge geometrical-logical-cognitive potential for complex, multimedia, digital-cultural-heritage databases and stakeholders expect handling, transmission and processing operations with guaranteed long-term availability for all other stakeholders.In the future, whole areas of digital multimedia databases will need to be processed to further our understanding of historical and cultural contexts.This is an important concern for the information society and presents significant challenges for cartography in all these domains. This book collects innovative technical and scientific work on the entire process of object digitization, including detail extraction, archiving and interoperability of multimedia DCH data.

What is a minimal pair and why do linguists love them?
A minimal pair is a pair of words that differ by only one sound in the same position, such as "cat" and "bat." Linguists love minimal pairs because they help to identify and analyze the phonemes of a language. By comparing minimal pairs, linguists can determine which sounds are distinctive in a language and which ones are not, which is crucial for understanding the phonological system of a language.

Cultural Heritage and Mass Atrocities
A pathbreaking call to halt the intertwined crises of cultural heritage attacks and mass atrocities and mobilize international efforts to protect people and cultures. Intentional destruction of cultural heritage has a long history.Contemporary examples include the Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan, mosques in Xinjiang, mausoleums in Timbuktu, and Greco-Roman remains in Syria.Cultural heritage destruction invariably accompanies assaults on civilians, making heritage attacks impossible to disentangle from the mass atrocities of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing.Both seek to eliminate people and the heritage with which they identify.Cultural Heritage and Mass Atrocities assembles essays by thirty-eight experts from the heritage, social science, humanitarian, legal, and military communities.Focusing on immovable cultural heritage vulnerable to attack, the volume's guiding framework is the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), a United Nations resolution adopted unanimously in 2005 to permit international intervention against crimes of war or genocide.Based on the three pillars of prevent, react, and rebuild, R2P offers today's policymakers a set of existing laws and international norms that can and--as this book argues--must be extended to the protection of cultural heritage.Contributions consider the global value of cultural heritage and document recent attacks on people and sites in China, Guatemala, Iraq, Mali, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, Syria, and Yemen.Comprehensive sections on vulnerable populations as well as the role of international law and the military offer readers critical insights and point toward research, policy, and action agendas to protect both people and cultural heritage.A concise abstract of each chapter is offered online in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish to facilitate robust, global dissemination of the strategies and tactics offered in this pathbreaking call to action. The free online edition of this publication is available at getty.edu/publications/cultural-heritage-mass-atrocities.Also available are free PDF, EPUB, and Kindle/MOBI downloads of the book.

Cultural Heritage and the Future
Cultural Heritage and the Future brings together an international group of scholars and experts to consider the relationship between cultural heritage and the future. Drawing on case studies from around the world, the contributing authors insist that cultural heritage and the future are intimately linked and that the development of futures thinking should be a priority for academics, students and those working in the wider professional heritage sector.Until recently, the future has never attracted substantial research and debate within heritage studies and heritage management, and this book addresses this gap by offering a balance of theoretical and empirical content that will stimulate multidisciplinary debate in the burgeoning field of critical heritage studies. Cultural Heritage and the Future questions the role of heritage in future making and will be of great relevance to academics and students working in the fields of museum and heritage studies, archaeology, anthropology, architecture, conservation studies, sociology, history and geography.Those working in the heritage professions will also find much to interest them within the pages of this book.

How widespread is the assumption among linguists and social researchers that women speak a different language that men have to translate?
The assumption that women speak a different language that men have to translate is not widespread among linguists and social researchers. In fact, this assumption is often seen as a stereotype and is not supported by empirical evidence. Instead, researchers recognize that differences in communication styles and language use between men and women are influenced by a complex interplay of social, cultural, and individual factors. While there may be some differences in the ways men and women communicate, these differences are not typically framed as women speaking a completely different language that men must translate.
