This paper tries to give a definition of stereotype and prejudice, taking as a base definitions from Cognitive and Social Psychology and Linguistics. The author comes to the conclusion that stereotypes and prejudice are natural mental stages, necessary for the processing of cognitive input. As a part of human cognition, prejudice must be prevented from becoming socially dangerous. It has to be diminished and modificated by personal contact between individuals of different cultures.
Beginnen möchte ich mit einigen allgemeinen Überlegungen zum Verhältnis von Genus und Sexus. Wie allgemein bekannt ist, handelt es sich beim Genus, dem GRAMMATISCHEN GESCHLECHT um eine Klassifikation von Ausdrücken, insbesondere Substantiven, während Sexus für eine naturgegebene Unterscheidung, das NATÜRLICHE GESCHLECHT steht. In Saussurescher Terminologie ist Genus eine Klassifikation von SIGNIFIANTS, Sexus dagegen eine Klassifikation von SIGNIFIES.
This paper deals with the linguistic situation of the European Union, especially considering the role played by the German language. Beginning with some general remarks on the historical mechanisms that may influence the relative importance of a given language on a global scale, the history of the German language is discussed with the aim of explaining its present situation as the language with the greatest number of native speakers in Europe. which, at the same time, plays a relatively unimportant role in international communication.
