The present paper aims to analyse the linguistic forms and the discourse strategies used in the written press of the 1950’s in order to unmask the political class enemy and thus to support and validate the political power. The cited examples are taken from the newspaper Neuer Weg and the newspaper Scînteia, which report in many editions show trials of persons who are considered by the political authority to belong to the group of class opponents, those persons being presented in the journalistic texts as class enemy. The language use shows aggressiveness and virulence, schematized linguistic constructions and repetitions, while certain specific features can be identified at lexical, morphosyntactical and pragmatic level. The authoress takes the theoretical stance of sociolinguistics and pragmalinguistics in assessing language facts.

The bilingual phraseography with German contains significant shortcomings regarding both the conceptional orientation of the dictionary and the structure of the dictionary articles. The present paper reflects upon the relevance of certain criteria that are decisive for the quality of a dictionary and aims at showing to what extent the description of the selected phraseologisms is adequate with regard to potential users and the specifics of phraseological phenomena.
The article deals with place names/toponyms in Slovene and German, two languages that were in contact since the 8th century. Local names of geographical features are endonyms and differ from the foreign names (exonyms) for the same feature. Since both languages existed at the same territory because of the political reasons, the Slovene ethnic territory was under a strong influence of German language. Because of that German has a lot of german exonyms for Slovene geographical features and the Slovene language has a lot exonyms for geographical features on german territory. For the bilingual region of Austria where a small Slovene minority lives the bilingual endonyms are typical. The pairs of German and Slovene bilingual toponyms were generated also for international regions. The author discusses the types of bilingual geographical names. The knowledge of such bilingual place names is relevant for many issues such as translation and intercultural linguistics.
The DACH concept is meant to offer both german teachers and german learners a theoretical approach for introducing information about german culture and civilization during language classes. It is based on the idea of pluricentricity, meaning that german language is definded on a cultural level by all places where it is spoken, considering Germany, Austria and Switzerland as it main centers. In the following article various course books and exam training materials are beign analysed with the intent to depict the way this concept is transfered from theory into practice.
Using literature in culture and civilization classes enables the contact to foreign culture. Literature does not merely copy reality, but has its own rules of story telling, its own way of changing the perspective on reality, of correcting cliches, in omitting something, so as for the reader to become curious and fill in these „gaps”. In this paper, a fragment from a novel shows how a german businessman arriving in interbellic Romania finds that time is measured differently in those two countries.
This paper is a comparative imagological analysis of the novels Die Schrift des Freundes (1998) by Barbara Frischmuth and Über Land (2016) by Hannah Dübgen. It aims to examine the direct communication with the stranger because the discussion with the stranger includes the discussion with the Self. The encounter with other religions and cultures opens up new ways for the self, to understand one’s own self from different angles. In this context, this study is to analyze the two novels with respect to interpretive models of experiencing the strangeness by Ortfried Schäffter and tries to answer the question about the influence of the stranger on the Self and the complementarity between them.
