Markeninszenierung in Japan - zur narrativen Konstruktion der Lifestyle-Marken "Muji" und "Uniqlo"
(2020)
Die Einzelhandelsketten "Muji" und "Uniqlo" gelten als Musterbeispiele für international erfolgreiche Lifestyle-Marken aus Japan. Aus einer interdisziplinären Perspektive heraus identifiziert Christiane Rühle die Strukturen und Akteure dieser spezifischen Markeninszenierungen und arbeitet die dazugehörigen Positionen, Mittel und zentralen Motive heraus. Sie fragt im Kontext von unternehmensbezogener und nationalstaatlicher Imagebildung nach den Bezügen zwischen Konsum, Kultur und Identität und fokussiert dabei auf die Rolle, die privatwirtschaftliche Unternehmen innerhalb dieses Prozesses einnehmen.

Der Aufsatz sieht in Freuds Begriff des Unheimlichen einen Schlüssel zu seiner Poetik. Den Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchung bietet allerdings nicht seine bekannte Interpretation des Textes von E.T.A. Hoffmann, sondern die narrativen Elemente des Textes, in denen er auf indirekte Weise Aufschluss über seinen Begriff der Psychoanalyse gibt. Als Theorie und Praxis der Dichtung ist Freuds Aufsatz über Das Unheimliche nicht nur eine Theorie ein wichtiger Bestandteil seiner Poetik.
This thesis aims to investigate the linguistic influence of the Malay language including Indonesian and Javanese on the Thai language of Thailand. Up to the present, there has been only one thorough investigation on Malay loans in Thai that has also examined the tones resulting from Malay borrowings, which is a dissertation from 1997. ...
Sentences with doubly center-embedded relative clauses in which a verb phrase (VP) is missing are sometimes perceived as grammatical, thus giving rise to an illusion of grammaticality. In this paper, we provide a new account of why missing-VP sentences, which are both complex and ungrammatical, lead to an illusion of grammaticality, the so-called missing-VP effect. We propose that the missing-VP effect in particular, and processing difficulties with multiply center-embedded clauses more generally, are best understood as resulting from interference during cue-based retrieval. When processing a sentence with double center-embedding, a retrieval error due to interference can cause the verb of an embedded clause to be erroneously attached into a higher clause. This can lead to an illusion of grammaticality in the case of missing-VP sentences and to processing complexity in the case of complete sentences with double center-embedding. Evidence for an interference account of the missing-VP effect comes from experiments that have investigated the missing-VP effect in German using a speeded grammaticality judgments procedure. We review this evidence and then present two new experiments that show that the missing-VP effect can be found in German also with less restricting procedures. One experiment was a questionnaire study which required grammaticality judgments from participants without imposing any time constraints. The second experiment used a self-paced reading procedure and did not require any judgments. Both experiments confirm the prior findings of missing-VP effects in German and also show that the missing-VP effect is subject to a primacy effect as known from the memory literature. Based on this evidence, we argue that an account of missing-VP effects in terms of interference during cue-based retrieval is superior to accounts in terms of limited memory resources or in terms of experience with embedded structures.
We tested the hypothesis that phonosemantic iconicity––i.e., a motivated resonance of sound and meaning––might not only be found on the level of individual words or entire texts, but also in word combinations such that the meaning of a target word is iconically expressed, or highlighted, in the phonetic properties of its immediate verbal context. To this end, we extracted single lines from German poems that all include a word designating high or low dominance, such as large or small, strong or weak, etc. Based on insights from previous studies, we expected to find more vowels with a relatively short distance between the first two formants (low formant dispersion) in the immediate context of words expressing high physical or social dominance than in the context of words expressing low dominance. Our findings support this hypothesis, suggesting that neighboring words can form iconic dyads in which the meaning of one word is sound-iconically reflected in the phonetic properties of adjacent words. The construct of a contiguity-based phono-semantic iconicity opens many venues for future research well beyond lines extracted from poems.
Le genre des questions-et-réponses dans la littérature grecque chrétienne se laisse mieux comprendre si l'on le définit comme une série de questions-et-réponses, présentées comme telles (et non comme des lettres ou des dialogues, par exemple) abordant des sujets variés et qui ne se réduisent pas à une seule catégorie de contenu (exégèse biblique ou explications scientifiques, par exemple). Ainsi restreint, le genre des questions-et-réponses dans la littérature grecque chrétienne connaît sa période la plus faste aux Ve-VIIIe s. dans des milieux monastiques ouverts sur les problèmes et les interrogations du monde. Ce genre, d'une grande souplesse et d'une grande vitalité, permet de traiter des questions d'une façon plus accessible et plus libre qu'il ne serait possible de le faire dans une homélie ou un traité théologique.
