In diesem Open-Access Buch wird Hate Speech (oder synonym Hassrede) im Internet interdisziplinär diskutiert. Die Beiträge, die aus den Bereichen Linguistik, Sprachtechnologie, Informationswissenschaft und Politikwissenschaft stammen, beleuchten zentrale Fragen im Zusammenhang mit diesem Phänomen. Hierzu zählen aus sprachwissenschaftlicher Sicht zunächst die vielfältigen direkten und indirekten Erscheinungsformen von Hate Speech und ihre Rezeption. Aus informationswissenschaftlicher und computerlinguistischer Sicht wird der Forschungsstand in Bezug auf verschiedene maschinelle Verfahren zur automatischen Erkennung von Hate Speech wiedergegeben. Überdies wird erläutert, wie solche Verfahren evaluiert werden können. Daher stellt sich aus politikwissenschaftlicher Sicht nicht nur die Frage, wie digitale Hassrede derzeit reguliert wird und wie sich diese Regulierungsverfahren künftig entwickeln könnten, sondern auch, wie die automatische Erkennung reguliert werden müsste.

A hundred years have now gone by since in the midsummer of 1882 Pierre Duhem, a graduate of College Stanislas, completed with brilliant success his entrance exams to the Ecole Normale Superieure and embarked on his career as a theoretical physicist. His father, a textile salesman, hoped that Hierre would pursue a career in business, one of the few professional fields where perhaps he would not have succeeded. Not that young Duhem lacked sense for the practical. He could have easily made a name for himself as an artist had he developed professionally his skill to draw portraits and landscapes. His ability to make a point and his readiness to join in a debate, could have earned him fame as a lawyer. A potential actor was in sight when he entertained friends with mimicry. That as a student of physics he entered and stayed first in his class at the Ecole Normale, did not thwart his talents for the life sciences. No less a biologist than Pasteur tried to obtain Duhem for assistant. His command of Greek and Latin would have secured him a career as a classicist. He was a Frenchman, not to be met too often, whose rightful ad miration for and mastery of his native tongue, did not prove a barrier to the major modern languages. As one who taught himself the complex art of medieval paleo graphy, he could easily have mastered the many auxiliary sciences needed by a consummate historian."

When it first appeared, Dead on Arrival announced the emergence of a strong new voice in African - American verse. Fresh and unadorned, these poems were deeply rooted in Jaki Shelton Green's own life and family. It quickly sold out, and an augmented seconde edition was published in 1983. Over the past decade, as Green's audience has grown, Dead on Arrival sold out again, and both editions have become collector's items. Carolina Wren is pleased to reissue Dead on Arrival so that new readers may now see the development of Green's voice over two decades of poetic achievement.
