„Football“, „soccer“ in British terms, is the most famous sport of the world. The history of the football goes back to the ancient times. In this article, the football terms used in Germany and Turkey are handled together with the historical development of football. Various differences and similarities between these terms and their features are also demonstrated.
In order to disseminate the information in newspapers, one of the instruments that increase sharing of knowledge in the globalizing world, at the international level, it is obligatory to translate texts from the source language to other languages. However, there are some criteria taken into account in order to transfer the information to a large target audience during the preparation of news. These criteria should also be taken into consideration while translating this kind of texts. Especially in the translation of news texts that are oriented towards the target audience and that address the knowledge/ interest levels of the target audience, the decisions and approaches of the translator are determining. In this study, the discussion will be based on what kind of knowledge the journalists/ translators who translate news texts should have. In this context, an analysis will be carried out regarding which factors have had a determining role in the translation of news in Turkish as source language into German to be used in a German newspaper.
Liebesbriefe von Kindern, Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen : eine Textsorte im lebenszeitlichen Wandel
(2003)
Das Alter als soziolinguistische und – mit Bezug auf die Historizität des sozialen Alltags – als sozialhistorische Grösse ist in seiner Wirkung auf die Gestaltung des Liebesbriefs wenig offensichtlich. Unbestritten dürfte aber wohl sein, dass nicht alterslose Menschen einander Liebesbriefe schreiben. Und – Alter prägt, wie dies die hier vorliegende empirische Analyse zeigen wird, die Textsorte Liebesbrief vielleicht stärker als gemeinhin angenommen. Bereits die Briefstellerliteratur der Jahrhundertwende zeigt deutlich eine Altersspezifik der Sprache des Liebesbriefs. ...
Der Liebesbrief des 20. Jahrhunderts ist Ausdruck einer konkreten lebensweltlichen und historisch zu verortenden Praxis der Liebeskommunikation. Liebesbriefe sind Brautbriefe, Liebesbekenntnisse, Berichte aus dem Alltag, Soldatenbriefe, Vereinbarungen von Treffen, E-Mail-Korrespondenzen, Flirtbriefe und Zettelchen – es gibt eine reiche Palette an Funktionen und Typen. Im Hinblick auf eine Geschichte des Liebesbriefs im 20. Jahrhunderts zeigte sich, dass im Liebesbrief neben der Liebeserklärung auch „Beziehungsarbeit“ und besonders aber die Konstruktion von Intimität eine zentrale Rolle spielt. Die Kritik an der Sprache der Liebe und des Liebesbriefs (des 19. Jahrhunderts) kann bereits in den 1920er Jahren beobachtet werden. Zu einem Codewechsel kommt es in Briefen der 1960er Jahre. Die Schriftlichkeit des Liebesbriefs entfernt sich allmählich von einer ausschließlichen Schreibschriftlichkeit. Der Liebesbrief wird mehr und mehr zu einem Sprache-Bild-Text. Die neuen Medien der Liebesschriftlichkeit zeigen eine Mediatisierung auch im Bereich des Liebesdiskurses: neben neuen Liebesbrieftypen, wie dem Flirtbrief, bilden sich neue Liebesbeziehungstypen heraus. Darüber hinaus fungieren die neuen Medien immer schon selbstreflexiv als Metakommunikatoren der Modernität.
In this paper I will present some empirical studies concerning a linguistic construction called binomials, e.g. auf und ab (‚up and down‘). Binomials consist of two coordinated elements in a fixed order ‚A and B‘, whereas empirically the reversed order ‚B and A‘ is rarely found and, asked for acceptability judgements, native speakers tend to reject it. In two corpus studies hypotheses on phonological principles responsible for the ordering of the constituents are tested. Furthermore I present a pseudoword experiment with German native speakers and Russian and Turkish learners of German as a second language. Results are discussed in the framework of optimality theory.
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.
German dialects vary in which of the possible orders of the verbs in a 3-verb cluster they allow. In a still ongoing empirical investigation that I am undertaking together with Tanja Schmid, University of Stuttgart (Schmid and Vogel (2004)) we already found that each of the six logically possible permutations of the 3-verb cluster in (1) can be found in German dialects.
This paper is part of a research project on OT Syntax and the typology of the free relative (FR) construction. It concentrates on the details of an OT analysis and some of its consequences for OT syntax. I will not present a general discussion of the phenomenon and the many controversial issues it is famous for in generative syntax.
This paper aims to determine and classify by syntactic criteria, the functions of reflexivity (reflexive pronoun kendi) in Turkish, in contrast to German.
Reflexivity in Turkish can be expressed by synthetic elements such as affixes, but also by an analytical element – the reflexive pronoun kendi. And in German it is formed by the reflexive pronoun sich. The reflexive pronoun sich in German used both in anaphorical and lexical functions, which can be distinguished from each other by certain criteria.
