The subject of this article is to research the Turkish and Turkey’s image presented in the coursebooks teaching German as a foreign language. From this point of view, most of the coursebooks produced with the aim of teaching German as a foreign language in the last 20-25 years have been examined, how these coursebooks present the Turks and Turkey’s image has been determined, and thus the Turkish image in the coursebooks has been summed up under four headings.
This is a linguistic study in which applied discourse analysis is used. It is functional comparison of argument examples, such as ‘Mesela’, ‘Örneğin’ and ‘Beispiel’, ‘Beispielsweise’ in authentic discourse texts. It has been observed wether both languages show the same function or not.
In this study, the student mistakes, in the collaborative writing project, will be discussed. The texts written in the computer lab are sent to the instructor through internet and the teacher underlines the mistakes made by learners and sends the texts back to the students. The students get feedback both from teachers and from peers when they are writing and correcting their mistakes. Since the learners are either in their preparatory or 1st year, the common mistakes made by the students are incorrect structure usage, inappropriate linguistic use, overgeneralizations or mother tongue transfers. These errors result from their limited foreign language knowledge.
Literaturwissenschaft und Translation : die Notwendigkeit translationswissenschaftlicher Theorien
(2010)
Translation activity has been the analyzing object of various disciplines, particularly Linguistics and Literature for centuries. The attempts of these disciplines to explain translation activity have always been inadequate. Holmes has drawn the attention to these problems by his paper which he has delivered at a congress in 1972 and emphasized the necessity of a new discipline. In the light of these developments, translation studies emerged in 70's and brought along many discussions. These discussions have revolved around the attempts of literature and lingusitics to explain translation activity. Starting question of our study is as follows; "Do the literary theories adequate enough to justify translation activities?" As an answer to our prompting question, this study aims to verify that literary theories are inadequate to explain and justify translation activity.
Despite the everyday presence of disasters in the media and a growing number of disaster movies made in Germany, there is only a small amount of disaster literature in contemporary German writing. This article aims to explore, how disasters are enacted in different ways in contemporary novels, film and media in German language by comparing Frank Schätzing’s beststeller “Der Schwarm”, Tomas Glavinic’s “Die Arbeit der Nacht” and the movie “Die Sturmflut.”
The "Turkish book" (Türckenbüchlein) took a place in the german literature, especially at the 16 th. century. War between these two cultures, has been one of the main elements determining for the image of the Turks in this age. These books, about the cruelties of the Turks, make the Christian society brave and call them to fight against the Turks. This article aims to illustrate the function of the books on the basis of representative exemples as Johannes Brenz and Bernhardin Türck.
Frauen- und Männerstimmen in Medien (Moderatorinnen und Moderatoren in Rundfunk und Fernsehen)
(2010)
Just 30 % of the effect of female and male speakers are activated by the lexems and sentences. 70 % are activated by paraverbal and extraverbal constituents. A deep voice is associated with authority and objectivity. We can realise this phenomenon at male voices. Women never reach such a deepness in their voices Their voice is sensed more expressive and it activates stereotypes like „emotional“ and „trivial“. The contents of female speakers are not taken as seriously as the contents of male speakers.
Türkische Germanistik: Alternativen für eine realitätsnahe, inhaltliche und methodische Gestaltung
(2010)
It seems that philologies function as the centers for teaching foreign language from the angle of society. Although this kind of idea is not totally true, some problems in practice take attention. Theoretical knowledge is given in the linguistics and literature classes, but analytical and critical suggestions are rarely made in the lectures. This situation creates a contradiction between the students and the transfer of scientific idea and knowledge. If the lessons are not student-centered they will not motivate students. Shortly, the relation between theory and practice should take its place in teaching.
For making students think critically in literature and linguistics classes, from the respect of method and content, the subjects in the lessons should be questioned and discussed. But historical prejudices belonging to cultures should not be evaluated radically. Turkish Germanistics should be shaped in the respect of theory and content by thinking globally but not violating the essential principles of germanistics.
The article shows that Heinrich Rückert is one of the most interesting voices within the corpus of texts showing German encounters with Islam in the 19th century. While actual reflections on the European and American relation to Islam are largely influenced by a point of view stressing a “Clash of Civilisations” (Samuel Huntington), especially after 9/11, Rückert's occupation with the texts and poems of Mevlana Rumi shows that the humanistic and poetic implications of Rumi’s work helped Rückert to find a poetic language that placed itself in the tradition of Goethes’s “West-östlicher Divan” and a German pantheism that is to be seen in the context of the “Spinoza renaissance” at the beginning of the 19th century. Islamic culture is in Rückert’s work a part of the heritage of mankind and of a humanism that goes far beyond the limits of eurocentrism.
During 1933 and 1939, the Swiss author, journalist and photographer Annemarie Schwarzenbach visited the so-called »Orient« four times. In the intellectual history of the West this part of the world was considered the topography of the »Other«. So the model of dichotomy between the two sexes, predominating the society of the 19th century, got an equivalent outside. A male and strong Europe was opposed to a female and weak East so that the »Orient« became the embodiment of challenging sexuality and devoted feminity. First Schwarzenbach regarded Turkey just as one station of the first and last journey on her way to Persia and Afghanistan, but in her texts it turns out to be a country, which is characterized by a male force („eine männliche Kraft“). Turkey’s female inhabitants get a specific role: They are the standard according to which women from other countries are described. For the European protagonists Turkey is the starting point of their search to a border („Schwelle“) to cross. This process also shifts the established borders of hegemonic discourses. Categories like »me« versus »the other« or »own« versus »strange« become deconstructed for the benefit of polyphonic concepts of identity, which in turn include breaks and contradictions. Thus the literary subject moves between finding and dissolving itself. The article demonstrates that Schwarzenbach´s texts about Turkey include writing techniques that evolve different processes regarding the identity of gender and culture.
