Speech-to-speech translation technology has difficulties processing elements of spontaneity in conversation. We propose a discourse marker attribute in speech corpora to help overcome some of these problems. There have already been some attempts to annotate discourse markers in speech corpora. However, as there is no consistency on what expressions count as discourse markers, we have to reconsider how to set a framework for annotating, and, in order to better understand what we gain by introducing a discourse marker category, we have to analyse their characteristics and functions in discourse. This is especially important for languages such as Slovenian where no or little research on the topic of discourse markers has been carried out. The aims of this paper are to present a scheme for annotating discourse markers based on the analysis of a corpus of telephone conversations in the tourism domain in the Slovenian language, and to give some additional arguments based on the characteristics and functions of discourse markers that confirm their special status in conversation.

Projekt sta financirala Ministrstvo za kulturo RS in Javna agencije za raziskovalno dejavnost RS.Ker gre za zelo pomembno tematiko, ki je neposredno povezana s skorajšnjim iztekom Resolucije o Nacionalnem programu za jezikovno politiko [2014][2015][2016][2017][2018] (ter posledično pripravo nove), in ker dikcija ankete (dalje Anketa o slovenščini) na več mestih zbuja pomisleke o rezultatih, ki jih bo dala, smo se člani ožjega uredniškega odbora revije Slovenščina 2.0 skupaj s tukajšnjimi soavtorji odločili za pisni odziv. Opozoriti namreč želimo strokovno javnost in državne ustanove, ki raziskavo financirajo, na nekatere metodološko, ideološko Slovenščina 2.0, 1 (2017)

V Ljubljani sta med 6. in 8. 11. 2019 potekala 54. srečanje in javni posvet ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe). Srečanje na temo Enojezično testiranje v večjezični realnosti: jezikovne ideologije in njihov vpliv na jezikovno testiranje sta organizirala Univerza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta in njen Center za slovenščino kot drugi in tuji jezik pri Oddelku za slovenistiko. V tem okviru je 8. 11. 2019 potekala okrogla miza (Bližnja) srečanja oblikovalcev jezikovne politike. Objavljamo zapis posnetka pogovora sodelujočih na dogodku.
