The German news magazine DER SPIEGEL interviewed me about Texas German culture, language, and history, for a special issue on German-American history. Click here for the story.

New article published! Together with Collin Baker (UC Berkeley) and Josef Ruppenhofer (FernUniversitaet in Hagen), I published a paper “FrameNet at 25” in the latest issue of the International Journal of Lexicography.

Back in Chongqing (this time virtually)! Today, I presented a talk “Learning and teaching words in the foreign language classroom with semantic frames: The German Frame-based Online Lexicon (G-FOL).” The online talk was part of the Advanced Lectures in Cognitive Linguistics hosted by the College of International Studies at Southwest University.

New publication: “Zur Dokumentation und Erforschung deutschsprachiger Pressetexte in Texas: Welchen Einfluss hatte das Standarddeutsche auf das Texas-Deutsche?” In C. Foeldes (ed.), Auslandsdeutsche Pressesprache in Europa, Asien und Nordamerika, 301-320. Berlin/Boston: De Gruyter. (Hans C. Boas & Ekaterina Levina). Click [ here ] for PDF.
