• Northeastern Illinois University Foundation grant for fieldwork on the morphosyntax of Hoocąk (Winnebago), a North American Indian language of the Siouan family, January-June 1996.
• Grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG (German Research Society) for linguistic fieldwork on the morphosyntax of Hoocąk (Winnebago) in Mauston, WI (at the Hoocąk Language Division) in the USA, August-November 1997.

• May 2003 – April 2008, director of the DOBES project “Documentation of the Hoocąk language” (together with Prof. Christian Lehmann, University of Erfurt). It is part of the DOBES funding initiative of the Volkswagen Foundation (approximately 300.000 Euro plus a 50.000 Euro extension in the fourth year of the project). This project with three scientific assistants included the preparation of a representative digital corpus of texts from audio and video recordings, a dictionary, a sketch grammar, and teaching materials. Audio and video recordings are digitized, transcribed, grammatically annotated by means of morpheme by morpheme glosses, and translated. Since all documentation is digital, software such as praat (transcription), shoebox (grammatical and lexical annotation, dictionary), and ELAN (XML based simultaneous representation of audio and video recording plus all annotations) was used plus a number of task specific programs and scripts which were prepared by the members of the Hoocąk documentation team. The project comprised intense fieldwork by the key participants of the project; the PI (Helmbrecht) conducted four at least month-length fieldwork trips to the Hoocąk Indians in Wisconsin in 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007 ; (cf. the websites of a) the documentation project at the University of Erfurt, and b) and c) the DOBES website at the MPI Nijmegen:

• March 2010, participant in the European Academic Exchange Program (ERASMUS) for docents with the University of York, Great Britain. Fellowship at the Linguistic Department of the University of York.
• Since April 2013, three year research project funded by the German Research Society (DFG, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) with a budget of approx. 130.000 Euros. The goal of the project is the development of a corpus-based descriptive grammar of Hoocąk.

Prof. Dr. Johannes Helmbrecht

Mit großer Trauer müssen wir Ihnen mitteilen, dass unser Lehrstuhlinhaber, Herr Professor Dr. Johannes Helmbrecht, am 05.05.2024 nach kurzer, schwerer Krankheit verstorben ist.

Herr Professor Helmbrecht hatte seit 2007 den Lehrstuhl für Allgemeine und Vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft inne und war in fachlicher und menschlicher Hinsicht das Herz der AVS.

Bis zuletzt war er ein engagierter Vorgesetzter, Wissenschaftler, Dozent und Kollege, der sich für die Belange seines Lehrstuhls, der Fakultät und der Universität stets einsetzte.
Durch seine freundliche und warmherzige Art und seine große Hilfsbereitschaft wurde er von seinen Mitarbeitenden, Kollegen und Kolleginnen, sowie den Studierenden sehr geschätzt. Er wird uns allen sehr fehlen.

Ab der kommenen Woche wird es eine Möglichkeit geben, sich in einem Kondolenzbuch einzutragen. Genauere Hinweise werden rechtzeitig hier auf der Homepage bekannt gegeben.

Im Namen des gesamten Lehrstuhls wünschen wir seiner Familie viel Kraft und Stärke für diese schwere Zeit.

Für Herrn Professor Dr. Johannes Helmbrecht wurde ein digitales Kondolenzbuch angelegt. Sie finden es hier.
