The present essay outlines a project, which aims to catalogue and tap the potential of medieval German manuscripts in the collections of both church and secular libraries and archives in Romania. The project complements current efforts to catalogue and explore medieval German manuscripts in Eastern European countries. At the same time, the project prepares the ground for a regionally oriented literary history of Transylvania. Here, too, the aim is to build on current trends in medieval German studies in particular. Instead of a concept of literary history based almost exclusively on individual authors and their work, these trends advocate a literary historiography that turns to regional factors and manuscript transmission in describing literary activity in a particular area.
"Nur die oberflächlichen Eigenschaften dauern", so Oskar Wilde in seinen 'Sätzen und Lehren zum Gebrauch der Jugend': "Des Menschen tieferes Wesen ist bald entlarvt". Ausgehend von der These, dass der Poetik Jelineks ein "Lob der Oberfläche" eingeschrieben ist, möchte ich im folgenden die Rolle der Mode beleuchten, und zwar nicht nur als Oberflächenphänomen, sondern auch als Übergangsphänomen, das an der Schwelle zwischen Oberfläche und Tiefe in Erscheinung tritt.
Unsere Ausgangsthese ist, dass sich die unterschiedlichen methodischen Zuspitzungen und Richtungswechsel, die die Philologie seit ihrer disziplinären Ausdifferenzierung im 19. Jahrhundert erlebt hat, als Parametrisierung des Verhältnisses von Konjektur und Krux beschreiben lassen. Anders gewendet: Konjektur und Krux markieren die Grenzen eines epistemischen Bezirks, der von unterschiedlichen philologischen Methodenpolitiken konfiguriert wird. Die sich daraus ergebende "disziplinäre Matrix" an Verfahrensweisen, die den Anspruch erheben, 'Methode' zu sein, hat insofern politischen Charakter als die Entscheidung für bzw. gegen eine bestimmte Verfahrensweise implizit oder explizit ein Interesse verfolgt, das in aller Regel über das Anliegen einer bloßen Textrekonstruktion entschieden hinausreicht: Es geht darum, die Bedingungen festzulegen, unter denen eine philologische Aussage als 'wissenschaftlich qualifiziert' gelten darf.
Wir möchten im folgenden den Versuch unternehmen, das zu skizzieren, was wir die 'philologische Frage' nennen. Darunter verstehen wir die Frage nach dem epistemischen Status philologischer Theorie und der daraus resultierenden Praxis: Auf welche philologischen Traditionen und theoretischen Prämissen nehmen die hier versammelten Texte Bezug, in welchem Kontext stehen sie? Auf welche Ziele wird die philologische Tätigkeit hin ausgerichtet – wie wird das 'Erkenntnisinteresse' der Philologie definiert? Welches Autorschaftskonzept und welches Textverständnis werden zugrunde gelegt? Der Ausgangspunkt all dieser Fragen ist die etymologische Bedeutung des Begriffs „philologia“, gefasst als 'Liebe zum Wort'. Der Philologe ist demgemäß ein Wort-Liebhaber. Doch was heißt hier 'Liebe'? Und was ist überhaupt ein Wort?
Politeness has become a key qualification in intercultural competence and didactics. The paper presents parts of an empirical research of the development and shaping of verbal politeness in critical incidents investigating the way German and Turkish students of the German language deal with criticism and complimenting. The findings show that Turkish students of German as a foreign language avoid direct criticism and prefer manners considered to be polite in German. Complimenting is an expression of their own positive feelings and acts as “messages about oneself”, whereas the German students prefer “meritorious praise” referring to merits. The discriminating effects of migration within the Turkish students are smaller than expected perhaps because of the increase of transcultural knowledge. This should give new ideas for the didactics of politeness.
Even if translation has a long tradition within the conveyance of foreign languages, there has been a vehement discussion on its role since the 1970s – at least with respect to some languages, such as English. In the context of German as a foreign language this topic has been discussed only to some extent. With this in mind, the following article aims to examine the role of translation in the field of the German as a foreign language with specific focus on the advantages and limitations associated with its conveyance and the resultant consequences.
This study concentrates on the problems of subtitling, mainly focusing on compensating strategies in the context of its restrictions with respect to time and space. With the help of a corpus analysis, what kind of information is condensed in the subtitling and whether these reductions have a role on the reception of the film will be analysed with regard to the confrontation of 1119 translating segments.
This study examines the theory and practice of Kussmauls creative translating idea during the translating process of metaphors by Lakoff and Johnson. Creative translating could be functionalized for the process of literary translation. In this case it will be a vehicle for problem solving by the translation of the holistically metaphors defined by Lakoff/Johnson. These kinds of metaphors determine our live and are significant points of the language we use every day. Mostly they are very important for the receptively understanding of literary language and aims of the author and his text.
In terms of their functions and issues, the use of selection posters is possible in language teaching. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the didactic potential of selection posters in German language teaching. Because of this reason, with this study, it is tried to show that the selection posters can be dealt with as materials in the courses in German Language teaching, which can be used parallel to the needs and interests. Accordingly, the alternative ways or approaches are tried to be made concrete throughout the courses. Consequently, the selection posters constitutes a wide range in German language teaching in terms of local culture, vocabulary knowledge, the processes of linguistic studies, visualization, authenticity, actuality, and spoken and written studies.
Speakers of Russian from the former Soviet Union and speakers of Turkish form the two biggest groups of immigrants in Germany. There is a number of surveys, that focus on early second language acquisition of kindergarten and primary school children in these ethnic groups. In this article, I will discuss differences and similarities of the second language acquisition process, that Russian and Turkish speaking children go through. I will compare not only the interlingual development (pronunciation, lexicon, syntax and morphology) but also the sociocultural context. For this purpose the data of my case studies will be contrasted with the other research results.
