Abstract:

At the time of this application, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak has already put tremendous strain on many countries' citizens, resources, and economies around the world. In many countries that are deeply affected by the medical crisis, the presence of the immigrants is essential in key sectors supposed to provide a reaction against the pandemic, as well as in those areas responsible for the respective nation’s recovery and development on the long term. Our project proposes a mixt approach (both quantitative and qualitative) regarding the migration phenomenon in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, from the perspective of its impact upon the mobility intentions of the European citizens. Our research endeavor aims at providing a documented answer to the question: How has the pandemic influenced migration intentions in Europe?, by conducting a case study regarding the mobility intentions of young Romanian university graduates, aged up to 25 years. Our research targets two separate dimensions: 1. Changes regarding the intention of mobility and 2. Changes regarding the choice of the host country in the context of the medical crisis. Relying its methodological approach on in-depth interviews and questionnaire-based surveys, the CO-MIB project aims at contributing, through its expected outcomes, to a better understanding of the dynamic relation between the intention to emigrate and the restrictions imposed because of the pandemic, contributing thus to the elaboration of better national and European policies in the field.

Abstract:

The ReTeRom complex project brings together, as partners, 4 Romanian institutions with experience in Romanian written/spoken language processing and in the development of language enabled applications. These institutions agreed to achieve knowledge transfer, to reciprocally grant access for own resources and tools and, more importantly, to work together for the unification and improvement of the existing resources and tools, for the development of integrated platforms for acquisition, processing and maintaining of bimodal (text- speech) data. The project will offer to interested third parties a scalable solution for the development of commercial applications.

The main objectives of the ReTeRom complex project are: a) the development of a bimodal aligned corpus (text-speech) of a very high quality and large size – Project 1; b) the development of an integrated and configurable advanced technological platform (machine learning based) which will ensure the standardized processing of the bimodal corpus, processing which will be adapted for the training needs of speech processing systems – Project 2; c) the development of an integrated and configurable interface for automatizing the appropriate annotation of acoustic data. The high quality of automatic annotation of speech raw resources is the only rationale modality to extend in the future the bimodal corpus – Project 3; d) the development of an integrated and configurable platform for high quality and expressivity text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) in Romanian language - Project 4. The high quality of the bimodal corpus will be ensured not only by very accurate tools, but also by a careful validation (and correction, when necessary) by the human experts in the consortium’s teams. The results obtained in the 4 projects will be used for training speech processing systems (ASR and TTS) for the Romanian language. The ASR and TTS will be tested and evaluated on unseen data (not used in the training).

Abstract:

Linguist Mircea Seche’s study, Outline of History of the Romanian Lexicography (1966-1969), presents an image of the development of multilingual lexicography from origins (1687) and until the years of volumes publication (1966, 1969). The project, with a predominant metalexicografical character, proposes the monographic research of Romanian multilingual dictionaries, given the doubling of works in the last half century, on the coordinates: history and typology. The end concrete result will be an analytical and critical bibliography, preceded by an introductory theoretical chapter on the historical development and typological classification. The concrete objectives of the project are: bibliographic documentation, systematization and interpretation of factual material, setting stages of dictionaries development and typological classification criteria, drafting micromonographs and introductory chapter. Measurable objectives are: communication of partial results of the project through papers at national and international scientific events in the country and abroad; publication of partial results as articles in scientific journals indexed in international databases; organizing workshops. Research will be conducted in three stages: 1. organization and bibliographic documentation, 2. drafting of presentation texts, 3. revision of materials. To achieve the objectives of the proposed project will work an interdisciplinary team with complementary skills.

The Contrastive Analysis of Romanian and Spanish Intonation. A Sociolinguistic Approach Call name: Projects for Young Research Teams - RUTE -2014 call

Abstract:

This research is meant to analyse the state of sociolinguistic research and methodology in Romanian and Spanish intonation. During the last few decades, the interest in describing and modeling intonation has steadily grown, both from a theoretical and an experimental perspective. With this research we aim to fill a gap in the recent literature about the intonation models in both languages, which has largely concentrated on the analysis of read data, by placing particular emphasis on the challenges posed by the analysis of spontaneous speech working with researchers with first-hand experience of most intonation methodology from different foreign universities (University of Oviedo, of Vigo and of Zurich). This research is an approach of sociolinguistic research and methodology in intonation. Although the variationism methodology has long been applied to the description of language variation, it seems that both languages intonation has not developed a very fruitful research. However, it is going through its first tentative stages in Spanish language: Moreno-Fernández 1998; Martín-Butragueño 2006,2011,2014; López-Bobo&Cuevas-Alonso 2014; and some in Romanian: Tiugan 1977, Panaite&Turculeţ 2011.

Although some previous studies, which attempted to explain the intonation from a sociolinguistic perspective, were based on such methodology, in some cases, the techniques used might have been not appropriate.In this context, an attempt at a wider, more comprehensive study seems relevant.

Abstract:

The project develops a new type of electronic product with a high impact in education and tourism. The main users envisioned are high school pupils/students or tourists visiting Romania. The technology makes heavy use of natural language processing, web cartography, web mapping, mixed reality techniques and ambient intelligence/ubiquitous computing. The project invents a continuous self-sustained activity combining research, education and industry. The language research feeds tools and applications targeting toponyms contained in educational and touristic materials, localising them on 2D and 3D hypermaps and putting them in correlation with the reader’s location and related data. The toponyms can be supplemented with different type of information, diagrams or any graphic related materials. If the school book covers the topic of physical geography, the localisation on a general map will be supplemented with thematic maps (geologic, landform, climate maps), and associated thematic information. As for the tourist guide, up-to-date information regarding the planning of the trip, accommodation, etc., which is not covered by the guide will be displayed on the map.

A number of applications and web services will be built on top of the processed texts, some offered to the data providers with the intention to help them augment the number of consumers of those books. A MappedBook is a book connected with locations/events in the real or virtual world and sensible to the instantaneous location (as seized by the mobile/tablet) of a reader. The information made available could possibly be different depending on the moment and the place the reader happens to be. For instance, if the user reads in the guide about a museum and her/his momentary place happens to be in its proximity, the system will try to find out from the web the museum’s open hours. Then, in case there is still time for a visit, it will signal the user about this possibility. Moreover, with the help of mixed reality technologies, the user’s tablet or smart phone will act as a window through which she/he can see, superposed on an image captured from the real world, the position of different targets.

The providers of primary textual data are media players and editing houses, which, based on written agreements, shall contribute their linguistic resources (electronic forms of manuals and travelling guides) to the partners in this project.

Abstract:

Pe fondul intensificării mobilității umane în lumea contemporană, migrația a devenit una dintre cele mai disputate teme, atât la nivelul instituțiilor și al politicilor internaționale, cât și la nivelul discursului public. Provocările fenomenului migraționist sunt extrem de complexe, migrația fiind un proces trans-istoric, cu implicații profunde la nivel politic, economic, social, religios și cultural.

Proiectul MIG-RoBe propune o cercetare calitativă privind efectele socio-culturale ale fenomenului migraționist, prin analiza situației imigranților români din Belgia. Conform statisticilor, anul trecut în Belgia existau 1.195.122 de străini, la o populaţie totală de 11.099.554. Tendinţa este una de creștere, îndeosebi după ridicarea ultimelor restricţii de pe piaţa muncii. România înregistrează cea mai ridicată rată de creștere a migrației în Belgia: astfel, dacă în 2001 trăiau în Belgia 2.391 de români, în 2015 numărul lor a crescut la 65.768 (de 27 de ori în ultimii 14 ani!).

Propunând o abordare interdisciplinară, proiectul MIG-RoBe vizează elaborarea unui răspuns fundamentat științific privind impactul migrației la nivelul statutului economic și cultural, al identității lingvistice și religioase ale imigranților români din Belgia. Rezultatele proiectului vor contribui la înțelegerea superioară a dinamicii relațiilor dintre condiția de migrant și statutul socio-cultural al acestuia, precum și la ameliorarea politicilor naționale și europene privind fenomenul migraționist.
