AMERICAN STUDIES CROSSROADS PROJECT PUBLICATIONS
Engines of Inquiry: Learning and Technology in American Studies
Video & Print Guide
Engines of Inquiry--A Video Tour, a multimedia companion to the
Crossroads print publication Engines of Inquiry: A Practical Guide for
Using Technology to Teach American Studies, is now available, and can
be purchased by itself or as a package with the print Guide.
Engines of Inquiry--A Video Tour provides an extensive overview of
approaches to using new technologies in the teaching of American
culture and history. A collection of diverse visual materials,
interviews, and footage of students and teachers engaged in learning
activities in the American Studies classroom, the videotape provides a
conceptual framework designed to aid teachers in thinking about the
possibilities for integrating technology into their curricula. This
video will be of interest for teachers in all areas of American
Studies, literature, history, and related interdisciplinary areas of
culture and history.
Engines of Inquiry: A Practical Guide for Using Technology to Teach
American Studies is a print companion to the Crossroads videotape. The
print Guide, 350 pages in length, is a teacher's guidebook,
containing practical and pedagogical information on the integration of
technologies into teaching and learning. The book contains more than a
dozen case study essays, numerous reflections from faculty in the
Crossroads Classroom Research project, sample assignments, and easy to
use, orienting information on the most common interactive
technologies, their technical and practical requirements, and their
uses in the classroom.
Engines of Inquiry--A Video Tour and Engines of Inquiry: A Practical
Guide for Using Technology to Teach American Studies can be purchased
together as a package or as separate publications.

American Studies Crossroads Project
Hosted by Georgetown University
Randy Bass, Project Director
The American Studies Crossroads Project is an international project on
technology and education focusing on the creation of resources to help
faculty incorporate the use of new media into the teaching of culture
and history.
Crossroads is sponsored by the American Studies Association and funded
with major grants from the US Department of Education's FIPSE program and
the Annenberg/CPB Project.

TIME MAP PHONOLOGY
Finite State Models and Event Logics in Speech Recognition
Julie Carson-Berndsen
University of Bielefeld, Germany
Time Map Phonology addresses key areas of sound structure at which the two
technologies of natural language processing and speech technology are
beginning to converge. Solutions are presented to the problems of how to
process words which have not been heard before and how to develop
fine-grained knowledge representation and processing techniques for
linguistic units smaller than the word. The solutions are based on a
careful comparison of linguistic theories and on the investigation of
computational techniques for the next generation of flexible spoken
language input and output devices. The approach has been fully implemented
for the vocabulary of German and subjected to quantitative evaluation.=20

EXPLORING TEXTUAL DATA

Researchers in a number of disciplines deal with large text sets requiring
both text management and text analysis. Faced with a large amount of
textual data collected in marketing surveys, literary investigations,
historical archives and documentary data bases, these researchers require
assistance with organizing, describing and comparing texts.=20
Exploring Textual Data demonstrates how exploratory multivariate
statistical methods such as correspondence analysis and cluster analysis
can be used to help investigate, assimilate and evaluate textual data. The
main text does not contain any strictly mathematical demonstrations, making
it accessible to a large audience. This book is very user-friendly with
proofs abstracted in the appendices. Full definitions of concepts,
implementations of procedures and rules for reading and interpreting
results are fully explored. A succession of examples is intended to allow
the reader to appreciate the variety of actual and potential applications
and the complementary processing methods. A glossary of terms is provided.=
