Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, our difference-in-differences estimates show that non-smokers' health improves, whereas smok...

A core assumption of keyphrase extraction is that a concept is more important if it is mentioned more often in a document. Especially in languages like German that form large noun compounds, frequency counts might be misleading as concepts “hidden” in compounds are not counted. We hypothesize that using decompounding before counting term frequencies may lead to better keyphrase extraction. We i...

The inventory of 15 German full vowels realized by speakers of Northern Standard German (NSG) and Austrian Standard German (ASG) is investigated acoustically.
