Congratulations to Miriam Butt! The project leader of our Project D02 “Visual Analytics for Linguistic Representations” has been successful with her application for a new Collaborative Research Center. For the next four years, the German Research Foundation (DFG) will fund the SFB 1760: "Silence, Noise and Signal in Language".

In the new SFB, Miriam Butt, who is the speaker of the Collaborative Research Center, and her research team at the University of Konstanz will investigate the systematics behind the occurrence and effect of ‘silence’ and ‘noise’ as fundamental parts of human speech. Furthermore, they aim to develop an interpretation algorithm for these linguistic elements.
