Der Besuch von Sheila Gondar Tubío (Universität Leipzig) am Institut für galicische Sprache (ILG, USC) bot uns die Gelegenheit, institutionelle Beziehungen zu stärken und Erfahrungen auszutauschen. Gleichzeitig konnten wir das EMJM-EMLex-Programm und das ILG als eines seiner Praktikumszentren vorstellen.

Drei Studierende der Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani-Kohorte mit der Heimuniversität Universität Hildesheim haben im Wintersemester ein spannendes Projekt umgesetzt:
Larissa Ferreira, Miguel Lopez und Elena Andreeva haben einen Podcast über ihr Studium an der Universität Hildesheim und das EMLex-Programm allgemein erstellt.

One of our teachers, Rufus Gouws, reports why he recommends EMLex.

After the opening day, with the participation of authorities, Tinatin Margalitadze (director of EMLex at Ilia State University), and Idalete Dias (director of EMLex at Universidade do Minho and organizer of the summer semester), the Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani students participated in a joint activity with Idalete Dias. They visited Guimarães, the birthplace of Portugal.

The inaugural session of the 2nd semester of EMLex will take place on 25 February in the ELACH Auditorium (Escola de Letras, Artes e Ciências Humanas - UMinho) and will feature an opening lecture by Professor Tinatin Margalitadze of Ilia State University on the Georgian lexicographer Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani, after whom this edition of the Master's is named. There will also be presentations of projects developed by EMLex alumni.

One of our alumni, Chenlu Yu, reports why she recommends EMLex.

Take a look at the video and guess what language she is speaking!

On January 22, FAU-EMLex had the opportunity to visit the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in Munich – and with it, the office of the renowned Bayerisches Wörterbuch (Bavarian Dictionary). This remarkable dictionary project was launched over 100 years ago, and our visit provided fascinating insights into its ongoing development.

One of the highlights was watching the team at work as they compiled dictionary entries. From traditional handwritten index cards to modern digital data entry, the process seamlessly blends historical lexicography with contemporary methods.

We are sending off the first year FAU-EMLex students for the summer term. They will soon be leaving for Braga to study at the Universidade do Minho! 

We are looking forward to it and we wish them a pleasant stay in Portugal!
