2009, The Amsterdam Circle for Law & Language, dr. R.G.F. Winkels and ir.drs. E. de Maat
The Leibniz Center for Law develops computer models of statutes as well as methods in order to make the 'translation' from legal language to computer language increasingly automated. A trustworthy, neutral interpretation of the legal text, without added details, is here of great importance. In the presentation the speakers will explain these 'translation'-methods and their 'technical' approach to legal interpretation with examples from various areas of law.

24 May 2009, When are you musical?, Henkjan Honing
(Dutch only)
Een klasgenoot die
altijd uit de maat klapt, een tante die vals zingt of een buurjongen
die jengelt op zijn gitaar. Dit zijn mensen bij wie muzikaliteit ver te
zoeken is, zou je zeggen...Of toch niet?
Tijdens deze kinderlezing op zondag 24 mei in science center NEMO laat dr. Henkjan Honing de kinderen zelf ervaren wat muzikaliteit betekent. Herken je een liedje nog als het ritme wordt aangepast? Hoor je het als muziek in de verkeerde toonsoort wordt gespeeld? Met geluidsfragmenten en filmpjes laat Honing zien dat je ook muzikaal kunt zijn zonder zelf een instrument te spelen.
