TY - JOUR A1 - Haldenwang, Sigrid T1 - Ein Bedeutungsvergleich – zum Verb „heischen“ im Hochdeutschen, in den rheinischen Mundarten und im Siebenbürgisch-Sächsischen T2 - Germanistische Beiträge N2 - The meaning of the verb „heischen“ occurs in standard German in special context only, especially in poetic language. In some Rhenish idioms of the German language space this lexeme is documented with the same meaning as in the Transylvanian Saxon idiom. Notable is the meaning “to woo”, “to ask for the bride’s hand” and idioms with a special wording that is specific to the Transylvanian-Saxon idiom only. This case study exemplifies how Transylvanian Saxon, removed from the German language space, is handling the linguistic thesaurus brought over centuries ago via emigration from the old country and how it adds its own meanings through a mixture and balance of language, a phenomenon specific to the colonial idioms.
