The IMFS Interdisciplinary Study 2/2013 contains speeches of Michael Burda (Humboldt University ), Benoît Coeuré (European Central Bank), Stefan Gerlach (Bank of Ireland and former IMFS Professor), Patrick Honohan (Bank of Ireland), Sabine Lautenschläger (Deutsche Bundesbank), Athanasios Orphanides (MIT) and Helmut Siekmann as well as Volker Wieland.
In these volumes, we are very pleased to present a collection of papers based on talks and posters at Sinn und Bedeutung 22, which took place in Berlin and Potsdam on September 7-10, 2017, jointly organized by the Leibniz-Centre for General Linguistics (ZAS) and the University of Potsdam.
SuB22 received 183 submitted abstracts. Out of these, the organizing committee selected 39 oral presentations in the main session, 4 oral presentations in the special session ‘Semantics and Natural Logic’, and 24 poster presentations. There were an additional 6 invited talks. In total, 58 of these contributions appear in paper form in the present volumes.

The Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (MAIN) is a theoretically grounded toolkit that employs parallel pictorial stimuli to explore and assess narrative skills in children in many different languages. It is part of the LITMUS (Language Impairment Testing in Multilingual Settings) battery of tests that were developed in connection with the COST Action IS0804 Language Impairment in a Multilingual Society: Linguistic Patterns and the Road to Assessment (2009−2013). MAIN has been designed to assess both narrative production and comprehension in children who acquire one or more languages from birth or from early age. Its design allows for the comparable assessment of narrative skills in several languages in the same child and in different elicitation modes: Telling, Retelling and Model Story. MAIN contains four parallel stories, each with a carefully designed six-picture sequence based on a theoretical model of multidimensional story organization. The stories are controlled for cognitive and linguistic complexity, parallelism in macrostructure and microstructure, as well as for cultural appropriateness and robustness. As a tool MAIN had been used to compare children’s narrative skills across languages, and also to help differentiate between children with and without developmental language disorders, both monolinguals and bilinguals.
This volume consists of two parts. The main content of Part I consists of 33 papers describing the process of adapting and translating MAIN to a large number of languages from different parts of the world. Part II contains materials for use for about 80 languages, including pictorial stimuli, which are accessible after registration.
MAIN was first published in 2012/2013 (ZASPiL 56). Several years of theory development and material construction preceded this launch. In 2019 (ZASPiL 63), the revised English version (revised on the basis of over 2,500 transcribed MAIN narratives as well as ca 24,000 responses to MAIN comprehension questions, collected from around 700 monolingual and bilingual children in Germany, Russia and Sweden between 2013-2019) was published together with revised versions in German, Russian, Swedish, and Turkish for the bilingual Turkish-Swedish population in Sweden. The present 2020 (ZASPiL 64) volume contains new and revised language versions of MAIN.
These proceedings, also online available as No. 46 in the ZAS Papers in Linguistics series under http://www.zas.gwz-berlin.de/index.html?publications_zaspil have resulted from the International Conference "Focus in African languages" held October 6-8, 2005 at the Zentrum für Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS) in Berlin. The conference was cooperatively organized by the latter, together with the Collaborative Research Center (Sonderforschungsforschungsbereich) 632, generously funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). It was the first conference bringing together colleagues working on this topic from all over the world in such scale.
Even though this volume contains only ten contributions out of the 35 papers presented at the conference, it displays the wide range of approaches, subjects and languages studied in the field of information structure in African languages. The collection thus reflects the synergetic atmosphere of the conference.
In the name of all organizers (Laura Downing, Ines Fiedler, Katharina Hartmann, Brigitte Reineke, Anne Schwarz, Sabine Zerbian, Malte Zimmermann) we would like to take this opportunity to thank the participant reviewers and student assistants for their contributions by which the conference became such a fruitful forum for inspiring and seminal studies in this field. Also special thanks for their effort in copy editing to our research assistants Lars Marstaller and Paul Starzmann.
This special issue of the ZAS Papers in Linguistics contains a collection of papers of the French-German Thematic Summerschool on "Cognitive and physical models of speech production, and speech perception and of their interaction".
Organized by Susanne Fuchs (ZAS Berlin), Jonathan Harrington (IPdS Kiel), Pascal Perrier (ICP Grenoble) and Bernd Pompino-Marschall (HUB and ZAS Berlin) and funded by the German-French University in Saarbrücken this summerschool was held from September 19th till 24th 2004 at the coast of the Baltic Sea at the Heimvolkshochschule Lubmin (Germany) with 45 participants from Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy and Canada. The scientific program of this summerschool that is reprinted at the end of this volume included 11 key-note presentations by invited speakers, 21 oral presentations and a poster session (8 presentations). The names and addresses of all participants are also given in the back matter of this volume.
All participants was offered the opportunity to publish an extended version of their presentation in the ZAS Papers in Linguistics. All submitted papers underwent a review and an editing procedure by external experts and the organizers of the summerschool. As it is the case in a summerschool, papers present either works in progress, or works at a more advanced stage, or tutorials. They are ordered alphabetically by their first author's name, fortunately resulting in the fact that this special issue starts out with the paper that won the award as best pre-doctoral presentation, i.e. Sophie Dupont, Jérôme Aubin and Lucie Ménard with "A study of the McGurk effect in 4 and 5-year-old French Canadian children".
Mit umfassenden rechtlichen Regelungen zur Zulassung und Anwendung von chemischen Pflanzenschutzmitteln wurde in Deutschland schon früh versucht, diesen Risiken zu begegnen. Nicht zuletzt in den aktuellen Debatten um Pestizidrückstände in Obst und Gemüse wurde aber auch immer wieder deutlich, dass sich der Zielkonflikt zwischen Anwendungsinteressen und Schutzanforderungen rechtlich nicht vollständig lösen lässt. Im Zentrum des vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung geförderten, transdisziplinären Projekts start2 stand daher die Frage: Wie können ergänzend zu rechtlichen Maßnahmen bei der Zulassung Risiken als Folge der bestimmungsgemäßen Anwendung von Pflanzenschutzmitteln weiter und nachhaltig vermindert werden?
Die vorliegende Handreichung gibt konkrete Antworten auf diese Frage. Im Zentrum steht dabei der Ansatz, Risikominderung mehr als bisher in gemeinsamer Verantwortung aller beteiligten gesellschaftlichen Akteure zu betreiben. Damit dies gelingt, muss den einzelnen Akteuren nicht nur aufgezeigt werden, welche Möglichkeiten sie haben, durch ihr Handeln einen wirksamen Beitrag zu dieser Aufgabe zu leisten. Die Handlungsmöglichkeiten der verschiedenen Akteure sollten sich überdies zu einer wirksamen Gesamtstrategie verbinden lassen. start2 hat zu diesem Zweck drei Handlungsfelder untersucht, deren Zuschnitt sich am Lebenszyklus eines Pflanzenschutzmittels ausrichtet: „Entwicklung von Pflanzenschutzmittelwirkstoffen“, "Landwirtschaftliche Pflanzenschutzpraxis“ und „Gewässer und Trinkwasserschutz“.
Die Handreichung richtet sich an Entscheidungsträgerinnen und Entscheidungsträger in Betrieben, Organisationen, Verwaltung und Politik (siehe auch den Lesehinweis auf der folgenden Seite). Sie gibt Informationen und konkrete Empfehlungen, wo neue Handlungsmöglichkeiten ansetzen und wo in der Praxis bereits umgesetzte Maßnahmen weiterentwickelt werden können. In einzelnen Fällen sind die vorgeschlagenen Handlungsmöglichkeiten zur Risikominderung auf den besseren Umgang mit besonders gefährlichen Stoffen zugeschnitten. Im Fokus des Projekts standen dabei Pflanzenschutzmittel, die möglicherweise Gesundheitsschäden auslösen können, indem sie auf das Hormonsystem wirken...
