Es handelt sich fast um einen sprachhistorischen Topos, wenn davon die Rede ist, dass sich das Deutsche von einer synthetischen zu einer analytischen Sprache entwickelt habe, oder zumindest zu einer analytischeren - oft hat man das Englische im Blick, das den isolierenden Sprachen nahestehen soll. Die Darstellungen zur deutschen Sprachgeschichte sind voll von diesem Topos, und anscheinend ist dieses Konzept intuitiv so eingängig, dass kaum hinterfragt wird, was man denn genau unter synthetischen bzw. analytischen Strukturen zu verstehen habe.
Als Reaktion auf das Unidirektionalitätspostulat in der Grammatikalisierungsforschung sind in jüngerer Zeit einige Beiträge entstanden, die sich mit gegenläufigen Prozessen befassen (in diesem Band etwa die Beiträge von Trost, Simon und Wischer). Solche gegenläufige Entwicklungen ("De-Grammatikalisierungen") finden sich in Harnisch (2004) zusammengestellt. Quer zu dieser Achse verläuft die zwischen Lexikalisierung (als Prozess der Demotivierung und Desegmentierung einstiger Wortbildungsprodukte) und Delexikalisierung (als Prozess der Resegmentierung und Remotivierung), die unter dem Stichwort "Volksetymologie" oder "sekundäre Motivation" bekannter sein dürfte (vgl. ungar. talpas - nhd. Toll-patsch; hierzu s. Abb. 1 in Harnisch 2004: 211, die sich hier als Abb. 3 wiederfindet). In diesem Bereich sind auch die uns interessierenden Erweiterungen von Familiennamen auf -er zu -ert anzusiedeln (Schreiner zu Schreinert). Dabei wird der morphologische Status von -ert zu klären sein.
This article adresses one function of dialects showing their importance of controlling everyday language. On the example of Low German, a vernacular spoken in Northern Germany, the function of identity is shown and explained. Firstly the understanding of biography is given, followed by an overview about the research undertaking about biographical studies in linguistics, especially in dialectology and Low German philology. The main part concerns the exemplary analysis of an interview of a dialect speaker. The aim of the article is to show in detail the identity function of dialects and the chances qualitive methods can contribute to linguistic researches.
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.
The paper sketches out the framework of a transcultural model of language learning and teaching. In doing so it illuminates linguistic, psycholinguistic, hermeneutical und didactic aspects of the complex field of language learning rather than limiting itself to discussing mere methodological phenomena. The paper argues that the language learning and teaching profession can only advance by taking transcultural concepts of language acquisition, of linguistic systems, of language processing and of media use into account and by integrating them into a coherent system of language didactics.
To reach even language users not acquainted to the use of grammars the Institut für Deutsche Sprache in Mannheim (Germany) looked for new way to handle grammatical problems. Instead of confronting users with abstractions frequent difficulties of German grammar are introduced in form of exemplary questions like „Which form should be used or preferred: Anfang dieses Jahre or Anfang diesen Jahres?” Looking through the long list of such questions even laymen may find solutions of grammatical problems they might not be able to formulate as such.
The interest of this work devotes itself to the repeating linguistic actions of the students in the DaF conversation lessons. Repetitions in the lesson discourse are functionally different than repetitions in the daily discourse. The support of repetitions by the students in the class discourse is tried to be demonstrated here on the basis of examples. Recordings from the DaF conversation lessons were transcribed and reconstructed according to Hiat. The kinds of the repetitions and their functions in these DaF conversation lessons are limited with this study. The findings of the study should be concerned consciously in order to accomplish a better understanding and reacting to these repeating actions of the students like inquiry, correction, confirmation, precautionary self-control, verification and confirmation in the conversation lessons –most of which are accomplished by the students for a certain aim however unconsciously.
Integration and social advancement in our time without a solid language skills are no longer possible. What has not been done for decades, they now try through the integration abroad and in Germany make up very successful. But German is unfortunately only the first, though perhaps the most important step for a successful integration. The next question should now be: Lack of integration in spite of good knowledge of German - why?
