This paper reports the results of a corpus investigation on case conflicts in German argument free relative constructions. We investigate how corpus frequencies reflect the relative markedness of free relative and correlative constructions, the relative markedness of different case conflict configurations, and the relative markedness of different conflict resolution strategies. Section 1 introduces the conception of markedness as used in Optimality Theory. Section 2 introduces the facts about German free relative clauses, and section 3 presents the results of the corpus study. By and large, markedness and frequency go hand in hand. However, configurations at the highest end of the markedness scale rarely show up in corpus data, and for the configuration at the lowest end we found an unexpected outcome: the more marked structure is preferred.
Spinnenbrille, Dog-Cam und Gassi mit Ziege : Reflexionen über ein tierlinguistisches Projektseminar
(2022)
In her article, "Spinnenbrille, Dog-Cam und Gassi mit Ziege: Reflexionen über ein tierlinguistisches Projektseminar" ("Spider-Glasses, Dog-Cams, and Walkies with a Goat - Reflections on a Project Seminar on Animal Linguistics"), Pamela Steen describes a linguistics seminar that she taught in the summer semester of 2020 at the University of Koblenz-Landau. The author offers a general classification of pragmatic linguistics in HAS in order to justify its categorization as a sub-discipline of cultural animal studies. Steen pays special attention both to the creative methods participants use to incorporate animal perspectives into their research and to the aspect of empathy for animals. This aspect is not only a central linguistic feature but also relevant to the researcher's perspective. A particularly sophisticated method of empathizing with animals are the "spider glasses" developed by a student of Steen's seminar, Katharina Anna-Lena von Werne. In excerpts from her research report, von Werne describes how she sees the world "through the eyes of a spider" and what personal changes this has brought about for her in relation to nonhuman animals.

The present issue grew out of two sources. The main one was the workshop on Adding and Omitting (A & 0) held during the DGfS Conference organized in Konstanz at the beginning of 1999 by our ZAS project on Syntax der Fokusbildung. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together people working on topicalization (addition of expressions, in a sense) and ellipsis (omission, i.e. deletion of linguistic material) and their relations and interaction. Since the workshop was very successful and met with a great deal of interest on the part of both participants and outsiders, we decided to collect and publish the papers that were presented. Towards the end of 1999, a follow-up workshop on Ellipsis and Information Structure was organized by Kerstin Schwabe and Susanne Winkler (Tübingen). The papers given at this second meeting were supposed to be an integral part of the publication as well. More and more people got involved, further developing our common understanding of the topic phenomenon, so that there was too much material for a single volume. We therefore decided to split the enterprise into two volumes. The ellipsis papers are to be published by 'Benjamins' this year in Interpreting Omitted Structures.
In diesem Aufsatz wird das Studienfach Linguistik für Business (L4B) als Beispiel für eine praxis- und arbeitsmarktorientierte Studienrichtung mit dem primären Ziel der Vermittlung fachsprachlicher Kenntnisse und fachkommunikativer Kompetenzen dargestellt. Insbesondere wird auf die Frage eingegangen, welche für das wirtschaftliche Umfeld charakteristischen Merkmale als Konstitutiva bei der Gestaltung von berufs- und praxisorientierten Studienfächern Berücksichtigung finden sollten. Dem folgt die Besprechung gewählter Didaktisierungsvorschläge innerhalb einer exemplarischen Lehrveranstaltung aus dem Studienprogramm des Studienfachs Linguistik für Business, welche im Besonderen zur Entwicklung fachkommunikativer Kompetenzen als Antwort auf die fachspezifischen Herausforderungen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt geeignet sind.
Einführung
(2000)
Der vorliegende Band setzt im Anschluss an den Band ZAS Papers in Linguistics 14 (1999) die Vorpublikation von Arbeiten fort, die innerhalb oder im Umkreis des von der DFG geförderten Projekts "Schnittstellen der Semantik: Kopula-Prädikativ-Konstruktionen" am ZAS entstanden sind. Das Rahmenthema, wie es in ZAS PIL 14 einleitend knapp umrissen wurde, wird derzeit im Projekt in drei Untersuchungssträngen bearbeitet.
This paper deals with a series of semantic contrasts between the copula "be" and the preposition "as", two functional elements that both head elementary predication structures. It will be argued that the meaning of "as" is a type lowering device shifting the meaning of its complement NP from generalized quantifier type to property type (where properties are conceived as relations between individuals and situations), while the copula "be" induces a type coercion from (partial) situations to (total) possible worlds. Paired with van der Sandt's 1992 theory of presupposition accommodation, these assumptions will account for the observed contrasts between "as" and "be".
In this study the relationship between NLP and Linguistics has been investigated. Korzybski, who is interested in the neurological aspect of language puts forth that an artificial identification has been established due to verb “to be”. The notion he developed because of this connection forms the basic idea of NLP. What Chomsky’s studies contribute to NLP are “surface - deep structure” in Generative Transformational Grammar approach. According to this we express what we utter in daily speech with surface structure, but we make them meaningful with deep structure. NLP has transformed this knowledge into various techniques and practices for a more effective communication and happier life.
In den schriftlichen Äußerungen der Wirtschaftsstudenten kommen wiederholt lexikalische Fehler vor. Sie werden im vorliegenden Artikel zusammengefasst, kommentiert und analysiert. Sie gehen größtenteils auf die Interferenz des Tschechischen zurück. Sie kommen vor allem bei polysemen Wörtern im Tschechischen, bei Wörtern mit unterschiedlicher semantischer Kombinierbarkeit in beiden Sprachen, festen Wortverbindungen, präpositionalen Wendungen und Fremdwörtern vor. Dabei konzentrieren wir uns auf Fehler, die mehrfach festgestellt wurden. Weniger häufig oder gelegentlich vorkommende Fehler, die der Peripherie unseres Corpus angehören, wurden außer Acht gelassen.
