In der vorliegenden Studie wird die Textsorte ‚didaktisch angelegter fachsprachlicher Text‘ einer korpusbasierten Analyse unterzogen, wobei die Perspektive 'Autor - Text' und Prozesse der Informationsübertragung im Vordergrund stehen. Die theoretische Grundlage bilden zwei Ansätze der Pragmasyntax: (1) Der Ansatz 'Attention-Information-Flow' (vgl. SCHULZE 2004: 549f.) beruht auf dem Gedanken, dass der Textproduzent die Informationen versprachlicht, die seine Aufmerksamkeit anziehen. (2) Das Konzept 'Grammatik der Szenen und Szenarien' (vgl. SCHULZE 1998: 435ff.) bezieht sich auf die Strategien der Versprachlichung, dank derer der Autor für wichtig gehaltene Informationen vermitteln kann. Die Ergebnisse der Korpusanalyse bilden ein Tableau mit Eigenschaften der zu erforschenden Textsorte und die Beschreibung ihrer Auswirkung auf Textgestaltungsprozesse unter dem Aspekt einer effizienten Informationsvermittlung.
The article analyses three texts which address the same subject (the definition of the word Wort) and aims to demonstrate that it is not only the topic that plays a crucial role in creating the macrostructure and microstructure of a text, but also the communicative situation. The article explores what differences there are in the selection of linguistic means when the same content is being expressed in texts intended for communication at various levels of specialization, and which communication strategies the authors of the texts choose in connection with the text's genre, their intentions and (above all) the communicative situation.
Some students evidently find it difficult to paraphrase the content of a text (particularly a specialist or professional text) after reading it. This inability may have a negative impact on their performance when writing Bachelor theses or when studying in general. This paper therefore addresses the question of how to help students of German develop the important competency of paraphrasing and summarizing the content of texts. The starting point was a small-scale research project conducted among students at the Department of German Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Ostrava; the results of the research were analyzed to identify the main problems encountered by students when carrying out these tasks. This analysis forms the basis for an overview of strategies and methods which can be practised by students when paraphrasing and summarizing the content of texts. The article systematizes the key processes and operations for paraphrasing and summarizing with reference to the theoretical literature. The article seeks to contribute to the discussion of a broad range of methods that can be used to help improve the quality of foreign language studies and the study of specialist and professional language
