U ovome se radu opisuju glagoli negativnoga transfera kao zaseban sintaktičko-semantički razred u hrvatskome jeziku. Glagoli negativnoga transfera, primjerice glagol uzeti, kodiraju transfer nekoga predmeta između dviju osoba na obratan način od prototipnih dvoprijelaznih glagola poput dati. Naglasak se u opisu stavlja na povezanost semantičkih obilježja pojedinih glagola s njihovim sintaktičkim izrazom. Pokazuje se da odabir sintaktičkoga izraza kod glagola negativnoga transfera uvelike ovisi o tome implicira li radnja glagola neku šteta ili ne. Posebno važno mjesto u radu dano je opisu u hrvatskome inače slabo proučavanoga dativa štete. Opisana je njegova uloga u izražavanju implikacije štete, a njegova su glavna obilježja zatim povezana s većopisanim obilježjima drugih značenja dativa.
U radu su prikazani refleksi praslavenskih naglasnih tipova imenica a-deklinacije u mjesnom govoru Dolnje i Gorenje Mraševo, koji pripada skupini dolenjskih narječja slovenskoga jezika. Opisan je i naglasni sustav navedenoga govora s naglaskom na nizu oblika u kojima se pojavljuje postpraslavenski novi cirkumfleks. Povijesnojezična analiza naglasnih tipova imenica a-deklinacije donosi neke važne spoznaje za naglasni sustav slovenskoga jezika. U govoru dolazi do analognoga podudaranja samoglasnika praslavenskoga naglasnog tipa a, s imenicama praslavenskoga naglasnog tipa b i to refleksa imenica s praslavenskim dugim samoglasnikom u jedinom/zadnjem slogu osnove, što je posljedica prenošenja naglaska na dužinu. Novost predstavlja analogija u instrumentalu množine. Kod nekih je imenica praslavenskoga naglasnog tipa c očuvano povlačenje cirkumfleksa na dužinu uz proklitike (mr. na glàːvo, na nùːge). Došlo je također i do podudaranja imenica praslavenskoga naglasnog tipa b, koje imaju u jedinom/zadnjem slogu osnove praslavenski kratki samoglasnik ili poluglas, s imenicama praslavenskoga naglasnog tipa c, koje imaju u jedinom/zadnjem slogu osnove praslavenski kratki samoglasnik ili poluglas.
U radu se donose rezultati istraživanja provedenoga na korpusu reklamnih tekstova te radijskih i televizijskih spotova prikupljenom od 2009. do 2013. godine. U središtu zanimanja su rječotvorbeni postupci kojima se reklamne poruke oblikuju. Analizom je utvrđeno da se radi stvaranja efekta začudnosti u primatelja poruke primjenjuju netipični tvorbeni postupci kao što su grafoderivacija i stapanje. S obzirom na njihovo mjesto u leksičkome sustavu, takve su tvorenice poseban tip prigodnica, tzv. reklamni okazionalizmi.
In a recent article of major importance (2013), Tijmen Pronk has treated the accentuation of l-participles of the type neslъ in western South Slavic. Pronk points out correctly that Dybo’s law did not shift the accent onto final jers, e.g. in *kòņь, *bòbъ, and that the short vowel was preserved in Slovak osem < *òsmь, oheň < *ògņь, mohol < *mòglъ. Contrary to what Pronk claims, Slovene nę́sǝlis the phonetic reflex of *néslъ < *neslъ̀, Slovak niesol. The Slovene doublets (v)ǫ̑gǝl < *ǫ̀glь and (v)ózǝl < *ǫ̀zlъ suggest an earlier paradigm with vǫ̑- < ǫ̑- in the nom.sg. form and ó- < *ǫ̀- in the oblique cases. The vowel of ógǝnj < *ògņь also stems from the oblique cases. The expected neo-circumflex in the nom.sg. form is actually attested in rę̑bǝr < *rèbrь beside rę́bǝr with the reflex of Stang’s law from the oblique cases. There is no reason to assume that the accent was not retracted at an early stage in *neslъ̀, nor is there any reason to assume that Dybo’s law shifted the accent to the final jer in *dòbrъ and *sèdmь, as Pronk claims.
Although it is a generally acknowledged fact that Neo-Latin consists of a set of linguistic varieties, there is a short supply of research into its linguistic diversification, especially in non-literary texts. One of the characteristical text classes within Neo-Latin tradition are canonical visitations, a special type of ecclesiastical administrative texts, produced extensively after the Council of Trent in all parts of Europe that had Roman Catholic hierarchical structures. The present paper analyses the language of three canonical visitations written in 18th century Diocese of Senj and Modruš (Krbava) and tries to recognise linguistic peculiarities that could prove to be distinguishing properties for canonical visitations and similar texts.
U uvodu rada diferenciraju se morfološka (i „pravomorfološka”) i pravopisna norma, pri čemu se govori i o svojevrsnome paradoksu pravopisne norme. Metodom komparativne i kontrastivne analize u središnjem se dijelu rada raščlanjuju neki relevantni morfološki aspekti koji sudjeluju u definiranju pravopisnih načela i pravopisnih pravila. Cilj je rada osvješćivanje teorijsko-metodoloških aspekata kojima se naznačuju vidovi svojevrsna preklapanja morfologije i pravopisa, i to kroz prizmu hrvatske pravopisne norme, ali i norme nekih slavenskih jezika. U skladu s tim u zaključku se progovara o povezanosti pravopisne norme s morfološkom normom, odnosno kako posebnosti morfološke norme postaju pitanje pravopisne norme.
U članku se analiziraju pojedina značenja perceptivnih glagola vidjeti i gledati u hrvatskome jeziku te njihova vidska obilježja. Glagol vidjeti u značenjima fizičke percepcije funkcionira u rečenici kao svršeni i kao nesvršeni glagol. Glagol gledati u značenju fizičke percepcije u rečenici funkcionira kao prototipni nesvršeni glagol, dok njegov svršeni parnjak pogledati funkcionira kao prototipni i kao neprototipni svršeni glagol, ovisno o značenju.
Rad je nastavak istraživanja nazivlja za rodbinske veze u hrvatskome jeziku. Promatra rodbinsko nazivlje u čakavskome narječju hrvatskoga jezika, i to samo za jednu rodbinsku vezu u značenju ‘sestrina kći’. Narječna građa ekscerpirana je iz upitnika za Hrvatski jezični atlas prikupljenih na teritoriju čakavskoga narječja i dostupnih dijalektnih rječnika čakavskih govora. Usto, donose se potvrde iz povijesnih rječnika koje su uspoređene s hrvatskim standardnim jezikom. Pronađeni su sljedeći nazivi: bratučeda, nećakinja, neputa, nevoda, nevča, sestrična…
U radu su prikazana dosadašnja istraživanja u području statističke analize teksta, s posebnim naglaskom na razvoj formula čitkosti. Pored teorijskog objašnjenja čitanja, razumijevanja i čitkosti, prikazani su rezultati analize korpusa tekstova na engleskom i hrvatskom jeziku. Na kraju, preporučuje se formula čitkosti za hrvatski jezik, modificirana prema Fleschovoj formuli za engleski jezik, koja se može koristiti kao objektivni pokazatelj za grubu procjenu težine teksta na hrvatskom jeziku.
U ovome će se radu dati uvod u optimalnosnu teoriju (engl. Optimality Theory, Prince i Smolensky 1991/1993, 2004), jednu od najznačajnijih suvremenih teorija jezika. Iako uživa najveći ugled među fonolozima, prikazat će je se kao opću jezičnu teoriju s naglaskom na njezinu primjenu u fonologiji. Prikazat će se kontekst njezina nastanka s obzirom na tada vodeću generativnu fonološku teoriju i naravnu fonologiju te će se predstaviti njezino polazište i ciljevi. Objasnit će se temeljni pojmovi optimalnosne teorije (ograničenja, obilježenost, vjernost, optimalnost) i pretpostavljeni model gramatike (input, output, generator, evaluator) te će se uvesti u princip jezične analize u njezinu teorijskom okviru, a analiza će se oprimjeriti na dvjema fonološkim pojavama – jednačenju šumnika po zvučnosti u suglasničkome skupu i obezvučivanju na kraju riječi.
Croatian negative indefinite expressions, or the so-called ni-words, are complex forms made by adding the prefix ni- to simple forms of indefinite pronouns. The Croatian standard norm prescribes that in prepositional phrases involving negative idefinite pronouns (the so-called ni-pronouns), the negative element ni should be separated from the pronoun and put in front of the preposition. However, in everyday communication one may often notice the use of the word order P + negative indefinite pronoun, and this word order has also made its way into newspapers and other media. This paper attempts to determine whether there is a significant difference in meaning between the order ni + P + indefinite pronoun and the order P + negative indefinite pronoun to account for such a change in language. We also analyze the frequency of use of these two different word orders in the Croatian National Corpus, examining eleven most frequent prepositions and six simple indefinite pronouns.
U hrvatskom crkvenoslavenskom jeziku postpozicija pridjeva smatra se manje obilježenom od antepozicije, a rezultat je utjecaja grčkoga i latinskoga jezika, s kojih su se tekstovi prevodili. Stoga je cilj ovoga istraživanja, koje je provedeno na građi Rječnika crkvenoslavenskoga jezika hrvatske redakcije, bio utvrditi čimbenike koji utječu na odabir antepozicije pridjeva. Razmotreni su ovi čimbenici: pridjevni vid i s njim povezani kratki i dugi pridjevski oblici, tvorbeno značenje pridjeva, ustaljeni izrazi (imena, nazivi), višečlane skupine, razbijanje imenske skupine, koordiniranje atributa, odnos imenske skupine prema ostatku rečeničnoga ustrojstva, usporedne sintaktičke strukture, stilističko variranje reda riječi u skupini.
U ovome se radu nastoji prikazati položaj nekih promjenljivih i nepromjenljivih nenaglasnica u kajkavskome književnom jeziku i u suvremenim kajkavskim govorima u odnosu na kajkavsku gramatičku normu. Istraživanje nenaglašenih rečeničnih sastavnica u kajkavskome narječju temelji se na rezultatima ankete provedene u svibnju i lipnju 2012. godine na Učiteljskome fakultetu u Zagrebu, Odsjeku u Čakovcu te, prema dijalektološkim kriterijima, na odabranim starijim ispitanicima.
U prilogu je riječ o raspoređivanju suznačnih riječi, i to zamjenica i priloga (upitnih i odnosnih), čestica i veznika, u rečenicama ili surečenicama. To su riječi koje služe za povezivanje surečenica u sastavu nezavisnosloženih i zavisnosloženih rečenica (konjunktori i subjunktori) ili za povezivanje rečenica na razini teksta (konektori), za izražavanje raznolikih modalnih značenja, za označavanje upitnosti, za isticanje, za poticanje, za nijekanje i sl. Takve se riječi dijele u dvije skupine s obzirom na to mogu li funkcionirati i kao članovi rečeničnoga ustrojstva (zamjeničke riječi) ili ne mogu (ostala vezna sredstva i čestice). Riječi iz ove druge skupine mogle bi se (bar sa sintaktičkoga stajališta) nazvati suznačnima u užem smislu. Osobita će se pozornost posvetiti raspoređivanju suznačnih riječi ili spojeva koji, čiji, i, ni, niti, a, ali, ili, što, samo što, da, zar, zar da, kao da. Bit će također riječi i o raspoređivanju suznačnih (zamjeničkih) riječi u situacijama u kojima te riječi dolaze u funkcijama koje međusobno kolidiraju, npr. u funkciji subjunktora i u funkciji nesročnoga atributa, npr. To su pravila primjena kojih zahtijeva punu koncentraciju. odnosno To su pravila kojih primjena zahtijeva punu koncentraciju.
Iako je riječ o srodnim jezicima sa slobodnim redom riječi, hrvatski i poljski standardni jezik razlikuju se u obveznom redu riječi, između ostalog i u pozicioniranju klitika; hrvatski pokazuje tendenciju slijediti tzv. Wackernagelovo pravilo, dok u poljskom jeziku po tom pitanju vlada puno veća sloboda. U ovom radu iznosim rezultate analize pogrešaka u redu riječi u hrvatskom jeziku koje su u pisanim radovima činili studenti kroatistike s dvaju sveučilišta u Poljskoj. Pretpostavka temeljena na teoriji usvajanja stranog jezika bila je da su pogreške rezultat negativnog prijenosa iz materinskog jezika. No tijekom analize pojavila se potreba za daljnjim i detaljnijim istraživanjem (iako je indikativna, analiza pogrešaka daje tek djelomičan uvid u problematiku) kojim bi se preciznije ustanovili razlozi negativnog prijenosa. Na samom kraju navodim pedagoške implikacije ovog i potencijalnih budućih istraživanja navedene problematike.
Polazeći od teorije paralelne arhitekture koja sve jezične razine smatra generativnima, u radu se iznose rezultati istraživanja suodnosa između reda riječi, tj. reda rečeničnih sastavnica na sintaktičkoj i na fonološkoj razini, i informacijske strukture kao sastavnice rečenične gramatike. Analiza u kojoj je informacijska struktura ravnopravna razina, a ne izvanjska, pragmatički uvjetovana sastavnica, omogućuje semantički informirano tumačenje varijacija u redu riječi u hrvatskom jeziku. Istraživanje rezultati kojega se iznose metodološki predstavlja premošćivanje jaza između formalnih i funkcionalnih pristupa. Kao primjer se uzima hrvatski, koji se tradicionalno smatra jezikom u kojem je red sintaktičkih komponenata (relativno) slobodan, dok se za položaj klitika u njemu smatra da je (relativno) ograničen. Na brojnim primjerima u radu pokazuje se kako klitike i grozdovi klitika svojim smještajem unutar linearnog rečeničnog ustrojstva ne predstavljaju nepravilnost sustava, nego oblik dinamiziranja rečeničnoga sadržaja koji izvorni govornici prihvaćaju kao otvorenu mogućnost. U dosadašnjim su se istraživanjima takvoj analizi postavljale dvije ključne prepreke. Prva se tiče bavljenja isključivo tzv. „neutralnim”, kontekstualno neuvjetovanim tipovima rečenica, dakle onima koje uglavnom odgovaraju na pitanje O čemu se radi? Druga se tiče nedostatka empirijskih istraživanja, kako korpusnih, tako i psiholingvističkih, kojima se otvara potpuno nov uvid u jezičnu strukturu i istančane mogućnosti njezine izražajnosti na informacijskoj razini. U radu se bavim obama uočenim problemima.
В докладе рассматривается употребление глаголов mít/иметь/имам с учетом изменения их значения в результате изменений порядка слов и с учетом вопросительных предложений. Особенно интересным оказалось употребление глагола mít в чешском языке, т.к. порядок слов в чешском предложении определяет в каком значении он употреблен – поссессив- ном или модальном. Рассматриваются случаи типа Proč to má dělat? Má to proč dělat?, когда порядок слов в чешском определяет совершенно раз- ные эквиваленты на болгарском и на русском языках. При том значение во втором случае тоже трудно однозначно интерпретировать как поссес- сивное или грамматикализованное. На фоне употребления этих глаголов со значениями поссессивными, экзистенциальными, грамматикализованными и фразеологизованными оказывается, что модальное значение чешского глагола mít в вопросительных предложениях прямо зависит от порядка слов. В переводах на болгарский и на русский языки значение чешских выражений однозначно определяется их модальным или пос- сессивным соответствием как б. трябва / има или р. должен / есть.
U radu se razmatraju strukturna svojstva i distribucija parentetičkih izraza s glagolima govorenja u hrvatskome jeziku. Noseći izraz u koji je umetnut parentetički izraz s glagolom govorenja najčešće je rečenica, a znatno rjeđe koja druga sintaktička skupina. Distribucija je parentetičkoga izraza pritom prilično slobodna. Smještanje parentetičkoga izraza obično poštuje granice maksimalnih projekcija. Iskazi koji sadrže parentetičke izraze s glagolima govorenja mogu se semantički podijeliti u dvije skupine, na one usmjerene prema govorniku i one usmjerene prema subjektu. Čimbenici su koji u hrvatskom jeziku određuju je li iskaz usmjeren prema govorniku ili prema subjektu: smjer pronominalizacije, inverzija subjekta i predikata, različito ponašanje u dosegu niječnice i različita intonacija. Da parentetički izrazi tvore s nosećim izrazom jednu sintaktičku cjelinu potvrđuje, osim utjecaja dosega niječnice, i asimetrija u odnosu zamjenica i kvantifikatora te sličnosti takvih iskaza s posebnim pitanjima, odnosno s wh-pomicanjem: fakultativnost inverzije subjekta i predikata uvjetovana pragmatičkim čimbenicima, dalekometna ovisnost te slično ponašanje glede otočnih ograničenja. Heterogeno ponašanje dviju vrsta iskaza upućuje na to da vjerojatno imaju različitu unutarnju strukturu. Autor zaključuje da razlika nije u tome kako je parentetički izraz uklopljen (spojen) u noseći izraz, nego samo u unutarnjoj strukturi parentetičkoga izraza. U iskazima usmjerenim prema subjektu na mjestu objekta parentetičkoga glagola spojena je kopija nosećega izraza, a u onima koji su usmjereni prema govorniku na tom je položaju samo prazni operator OP koji je pomaknut na položaj specifikatora i koindeksiran s nosećim izrazom. Budući da za primjere usmjerene prema subjektu nije prikladan opis s pomoću operacije pomakni, autor kao alternativu predlaže pretpostavku da je riječ o eliptičnim iskazima u kojima je poništena dopumbena rečenica parentetičkoga glagola koja je identična nosećemu izrazu.
U ovome se radu bavimo formom i funkcijom poštapalica u razgovornom bosanskom jeziku s obzirom na njihovu pozicijsku valentnost u konstrukcijskim komunikacijskim jedinicama (TCU). Poštapalice zauzimaju periferno mjesto u formalno-gramatičkim modelima i najčešće se analiziraju sa stilskog ili sociolingvističkog aspekta, pri čemu se njihova uporaba ne preporučuje, jer se smatraju obilježjem lošeg govornog stila i nepotrebnim dodatcima u govoru. Ovdje ih promatramo s aspekta njihove uporabe pri organizaciji i konstrukciji komunikacijskih cjelina i tvrdimo da su poštapalice neophodni konverzacijski elementi čija funkcija proizlazi iz elementarnih mehanizama konverzacijske razmjene definiranih u Sacks et al. (1974) – potrebe da se pri konverzaciji umanje praznine i simultani govor. Analiza obuhvaća oko 550 poštapalica izdvojenih iz korpusa (Kurtić et al. 2012) koji se sastoji od audio-vizualnog zapisa razgovora četiriju govornika bosanskog jezika (oko četiri sata snimljenog materijala). Služeći se metodološkim okvirom konverzacijske analize, opisat ćemo različite funkcije poštapalica, čime ćemo nastojati revidirati tvrdnje da su poštapalice smetnja u konverzaciji.
U radu se račlanjuje odnos reda riječi i negacije u hrvatskome crkvenoslavenskome jeziku. Prvi se vid toga odnosa tiče položaja niječnih izraza ne, ni i bez. U zadanome korpusu oni stoje ispred, odnosno lijevo od jezične jedinice koju niječu. Jedinica ispred koje se niječni izraz nalazi nije nužno glagol, pa ni finitni glagolski oblik. Položaj niječnih izraza povezan je i s razlikom, odnosno s utvrđivanjem razlike između sastavničke negacije, kao negacije nepredikatne sastavnice, i rečenične negacije, negacije predikata. Konačno, o redu riječi ovisi hoće li se ili neće provesti niječno slaganje. U hrvatskome je crkvenoslavenskome jeziku provođenje niječnoga slaganja djelomično (ne i proizvoljno), a ovisi o tome na kojemu se mjestu u rečenici nalazi niječna zamjenica ili prilog.
Složeni glagolski predikat u hrvatskom kajkavskom književnom jeziku sa stajališta reda riječi
(2014)
U radu se donosi raščlamba reda riječi u rečenicama sa složenim glagolskim predikatom.1 Na korpusu tiskanih tekstova na hrvatskom kajkavskom književnom jeziku utvrđuje se redoslijed sintaktičkih jedinica složenoga glagolskog predikata, mjesto složenoga glagolskog predikata u rečenici te njegov suodnos s drugim rečeničnim dijelovima.
Ovaj se rad bavi položajem zanaglasnica u kontekstu njegove obrade u nastavi hrvatskoga jezika u srednjim školama. S obzirom na to da pisani korpus pokazuje velika odstupanja od klasičnoga tumačenja Wackernagelova pravila (Peti-Stantić 2007), htjele smo ovu pojavu istražiti u kontekstu odnosa nastavnika hrvatskoga jezika prema poučavanju pravila o položaju zanaglasnica. Dosadašnji radovi u ovome području pokazuju različite težnje. Dok većina suvremenih gramatika (Babić i dr. 2007, Barić i dr. 2005, Težak i Babić 1994) staje u prilog prozodijskome tumačenju Wackernagelova pravila, prema kojemu se zanaglasnica uvrštava iza prve naglašene riječi u rečenici, neki suvremeni jezikoslovci (Peti-Stantić 2002, 2002a, 2006, 2007) zagovaraju sintaktičko tumačenje ovoga pravila u hrvatskome jeziku, prema kojemu se zanaglasnice smještaju iza prve naglašene sintaktičke jedinice. Ovi drugi svoje tvrdnje podupiru neskladom između propisanih pravila i stvarne uporabe, tj. korpusa, a naše se istraživanje bavi sličnim problemom – odnosom između načelnih i praktičnih elemenata poučavanja ovoga pravila. Ispitivanje predodžbe nastavnika o pravilu o položaju zanaglasnica u hrvatskome jeziku te prakse poučavanja toga pravila otkrilo je da nastavnici daju prednost prozodijskom tumačenju Wackernagelova pravila, no nisu skloni ispravljanju učenika koji ga drugačije primjenjuju.
Sintaksa se u ranom jezičnom razvoju povećanjem kronološke dobi mijenja i usložnjava. Različitim teorijskim modelima pokušava se opisati razvoj sintakse, ali i put kojim dijete od najranijih iskaza dolazi do kompetencije odraslog govornika. Slijedeći navedenu misao, Tomasello (2006) je ponudio opis gramatičkih struktura ranih višečlanih iskaza kojim prikazuje put usložnjavanja sintakse iskaza, od jednočlanih i višečlanih iskaza (kombinacije riječi, pivot-sheme, konstrukcije zasnovane na čestici) do apstraktnih konstrukcija. Posebno su za opis ranog razvoja sintakse važne dvije kategorije konstrukcija, pivot-sheme (engl. pivot schemes) i konstrukcije zasnovane na čestici (engl. item-based constructions). Pivot-sheme definirane su kao dvočlane konstrukcije u kojima postoji ‘stalni’ element koji se nadopunjava novim elementima. Konstrukcije zasnovane na čestici od pivot-konstrukcija razlikuje veća sloboda u leksičkom izboru te prikladna uporaba gramatičkih kategorija (uporaba morfologije i reda riječi). Ovim se istraživanjem željelo provjeriti uklapaju li se hrvatske dvočlane glagolske konstrukcije u uobičajene podjele pivot-konstrukcija i konstrukcija zasnovanih na čestici i kakav je njihov red riječi s obzirom na tipološke karakteristike, odnosno morfološku razvedenost i relativno slobodan red riječi hrvatskoga jezika. Istraživanjem su obuhvaćeni dvočlani glagolski iskazi u Hrvatskom korpusu dječjeg jezika (HKDJ – Kovačević 2002). Izdvojene su i opisane pivot-konstrukcije te njihov put prema sintaktički složenijim oblicima, konstrukcijama zasnovanima na čestici. Rezultati hrvatskih dvočlanih iskaza upućuju na vrlo ranu uporabu gramatičkih morfema što nije u skladu s istraživanjima provedenima u engleskom jeziku. Nadalje, definicija pivot-shema samo se djelomično može primijeniti na iskaze pronađene u HKDJ-u. Hrvatske pivot-konstrukcije sadrže specifične morfološke i sintaktičke veze, različite od potpunoga gramatičkog sustava odraslih govornika, ali nedvojbeno s pripadajućim značenjima. Istraživanje je pokazalo da tipološke osobine određenog jezika utječu na razvoj sintakse pri usvajanju jezika te potiču ranu pojavu složenih gramatičkih elemenata.
U bosanskom, hrvatskom i srpskom jeziku, s fleksibilnim (gotovo slobodnim) redom riječi, prijedložno-padežni izrazi s mjesnim značenjem popunjavaju funkciju mjesnog adverbijala (kada se odnose na predikat), ali stoje i kao dopuna imenskoj riječi (kada se u atributskoj funkciji odnose na supstantiv), što može dovesti do mogućih dvosmislenih izraza, i/ili potpuno gramatički nepravilnih kombinacija, zavisno od reda riječi, odnosno zavisno od pozicije takvih konstrukcija u rečenici. U ovom radu daju se neki primjeri nepravilnog rasporeda riječi, odnosno primjeri s pogrešnom pozicijom rečeničnih elemenata, konkretno mjesnog adverbijala, što rezultira ambigvitetnim (dvosmislenim) konstrukcijama s prijedložno-padežnim izrazima. Vidjećemo da je u bosanskom, hrvatskom i srpskom jeziku ova pojava često prisutna, a naročito zapažena u govornom jeziku i kolokvijalnom diskursu, ili na primjerima žurnalističkog stila (diskursa). Moguće rješenje kojim bi se izbjegao ambigvitet vezan za prijedložno-padežne izraze s mjesnim značenjem jeste dosljedno poštivanje pravila o osnovnom redu riječi koje mjesni adverbijal postavlja u postverbalnoj poziciji i ne uz neku imensku riječ.
Obligatory control refers to the relation of obligatory coreference between one of the arguments in the matrix clause and an unexpressed argument of the subordinate infinitive. This paper provides examples of subject and object control in Croatian that reveal significant differences between these two constructions. Subject control is understood as a purely syntactic relation, while the analysis of object control requires the introduction of semantic macroroles. The two constructions are therefore based on different basic principles, which results in various asymmetries with regard to restrictions on possible syntactic realizations. Moreover, the limitations on scope interpretation of temporal adverbs resulting from word order changes in object control constructions suggest that the two verbs in object control might form a tighter unit than those in subject control constructions.

U radu se promatra i analizira red riječi u rečenici u hrvatskim anonimnim komedijama u prozi nastalim u 17. stoljeću na dubrovačkom području. Rezultati se analize uspoređuju s redom riječi potvrđenim u onodobnom književnom jeziku. Sinkronijskom su prikazu pridružene i usporedbe s rezultatima istraživanja Laznibata o dubrovačkim arhivskim spisima 17. i 18. stoljeća i I. Lovrić Jović o dubrovačkim oporukama iz istog tog razdoblja, dok je dijakronijski pregled napravljen usporedbom s Rešetarovim istraživanjima jezika Ranjinina zbornika i Držićeva jezika, s istraživanjem frančezarija 18. stoljeća I. Lovrić Jović te s Budmanijevim istraživanjem devetnaestostoljetnoga dubrovačkoga govora. Posebna se pozornost posvećuje poretku zanaglasnica, koji je, kao što je bilo očekivano, uglavnom stariji pa zamjenička zanaglasnica prethodi glagolskoj, no ovisno o smješnici, potvrđena su i brojna odstupanja.
The paper considers the interdependence between word order, congruence and formal cases – the means which, together with lexical meaning and formal class markers, explicate the concrete syntactic relations in a sentence. There are languages (including the Slavic ones) in whose structure congruence is very important. They may or may not possess formal cases. Even if they have no formal cases their word order is relatively free due to the compensatory role of congruence, which is often, but not always, able to eliminate potential ambiguity in the sentence, assisted to a certain extent by animacy, definiteness, pronoun duplicates of the objects and extra-linguistic knowledge (and Modern Bulgarian is good enough to illustrate this). At the same time, even in congruence languages with formal cases there are strict word order rules. In both kinds of congruence languages the violation of these rules can make a sentence utterly unintelligible (the last is exemplified by a couple of lines from Spanish and Ukrainian poetry).
U redu riječi prijedlozi imaju relativno stalno mjesto po kojemu su i nazvani – predlažu se ispred riječi na koju se odnose. U gramatikama se još spominje i postpozicija, kad prijedlozi dolaze iza riječi na koju se odnose (svemu unatoč...). U ovom radu prijedlozi se ne promatraju na morfološkoj razini, dakle na razini jedne riječi, nego se promatraju kao funkcionalna skupina koja uključuje i višerječne prijedložne izraze. Analizom su obuhvaćene i sveze riječi, odnosno koligacije temeljene na gramatičkoj uvjetovanosti sastavnica, a koje tvore jednu značenjsku cjelinu. Ta dva metodološka pomaka u percepciji prijedloga i u percepciji riječi pokazuju da se prijedlog može naći i u drugim pozicijama te se u radu analizira gdje se sve u rečenici mogu naći prijedlozi.
Tema je našega rada položaj zamjeničkoga pridjeva sam uz naglašeni oblik povratne zamjenice (sebe) unutar konstrukcija s pravim povratnim glagolima. U tim konstrukcijama zamjenički pridjev sam može biti u akuzativu ili u nominativu (hvalim sam sebe / hvalim samog sebe). Poznato je svojstvo zamjeničkoga pridjeva sam da u pojačajnome značenju najčešće slijedi iza lične zamjenice, ali prethodi imenicama (On sam to radi. / Sama Marija to radi.). Cilj je ovoga istraživanja utvrditi koji mu je neobilježeni položaj uz povratnu zamjenicu te ponaša li se drukčije s obzirom na red riječ kad je u nominativnome ili u akuzativnome obliku.
O kognitivnim temeljima položaja modifikatora, determinatora i kvantifikatora u imenskoj sintagmi
(2014)
U središtu je pozornosti ovoga rada redoslijed pridjevnih (premodifikacijskih), determinacijskih te kvantifikacijskih sastavnica višestrukosloženih imenskih sintagmi u hrvatskom jeziku. Metodologijom kognitivne gramatike (Langacker 1987, 1991, Taylor 2002, Radden i Dirven 2007) na nekoliko se tipičnih primjera najprije objašnjavaju značenjski aspekti koji uvjetuju neutralan redoslijed njihovih sastavnica, a zatim se preispituje manja ili veća neovjerenost pojedinih konstrukcija pri promjeni redoslijeda sastavnica. Ključnim semantičko-pragmatičkim čimbenikom koji uvjetuje veću ili manju ovjerenost takvih konstrukcija, a uvjetovanu promjenom redoslijeda sastavnica, smatra se referencija odnosno ‘usidrenje’ (engl. grounding) koja se odnosi na uspostavljanje „mentalnoga kontakta” sudionika govornoga čina s referentom imenske sintagme. S obzirom na to posebna se pozornost posvećuje značenjskim razlikama između elemenata referencije – determinatora, relativnih i neodređenih apsolutnih kvantifikatora – te pridjevnih premodifikatora i određenih apsolutnih kvantifikatora (brojeva) koji to nisu.
Na tragu učenja praške funkcionalne (aktualne) rečenične perspektive o osnovnom i aktualiziranom redu riječi razmatrat će se redoslijed sastavnica u složenim strukturama (subordiniranima i koordiniranima). U prvome redu zanimat će nas poredak surečenica (klauza) u sastavu zavisnosložene rečenice. Postavlja se naime pitanje čime sve može biti uvjetovana anteponiranost zavisne surečenice (tzv. inverzija), i to u različitim tipovima tekstova odnosno komunikacijskim situacijama (npr. u akademskom/ znanstvenom i/ili predavačkom diskursu, potom u privatnim razgovorima itd.). U tu svrhu pozornost ćemo obratiti na primjere poput ovih: Kao što je naslovom najavljeno, bavit ćemo se složenim rečenicama.; Kako bismo ubrzali objavljivanje zbornika, želja nam je što prije skupiti radove.; Kao što je prethodno rečeno, nastava počinje u listopadu.; Ako ne prekineš s glupostima, odlazim!; Dok ne ispraviš jedinice, ništa od izlazaka! i sl. Što se pak nezavisnosloženih rečenica tiče, ponajprije ćemo se suočiti s pitanjem utvrđivanja primarnog redoslijeda sastavnica (Sjedim i razmišljam. ili Razmišljam i sjedim.), da bismo potom pokušali utvrditi moguće razloge remećenja toga redoslijeda (npr. Umro – brao trešnje i pao sa stabla. prema Popeo se, brao trešnje, pao sa stabla, umro.). Naposljetku budući da pristajemo uz gledište da se već složena rečenica može smatrati činjenicom teksta (J. Silić), ali i zbog toga što se aktualizirani red riječi/komponenata ostvaruje upravo u (kon)tekstualno uključenoj rečenici, u svjetlu ćemo novije lingvistike teksta (R. de Beaugrande i W. Dressler) o redoslijedu komponenata promišljati kao o kohezivnom sredstvu.
Uvod
(2014)
U radu se preispituju granice frazema s obzirom na tvorenice kao frazemske sastavnice (krenulo je niz brdo (nizbrdo) što, ići na ruku (naruku) komu) ili samostalne jedinice (bogtepitaj, budibogsnama, kvragu) koje prema postojećoj frazemskoj definiciji ne ulaze u frazeološki fond. Posebna se pozornost poklanja frazemskim polusloženicama kao novoustanovljenoj skupini frazema prema frazemskome opsegu (amo-tamo, brže-bolje, danas-sutra, rak-rana, više-manje, zbrda-zdola). Istraživanje je utemeljeno na korpusu hrvatskih pravopisa od Partaša do Babića i Moguša, hrvatskim općim i frazeološkim rječnicima te elektroničkom korpusu Hrvatska jezična riznica Instituta za hrvatski jezik i jezikoslovlje.
The article gives an overview of the most important linguistic publications on the Burgenland Croatian dialects so far and concludes that our picture of these dialects is still far from complete. Two examples are given of unsolved questions that illustrate why a more complete picture than we have at the moment is necessary. The author wishes to point out that good quality linguistic fieldwork in this region deserves higher priority than it is given now, especially since the dialects are dying out so fast.

U radu se analizira metoda opisa tvorbe pridjeva u Grammatik der illyrischen Sprache (Wien, 1854.) Andrije Torkvata Brlića i u Slovnici Hèrvatskoj za gimnazije i realne škole (Zagreb, 1859.) Antuna Mažuranića. Modeli se opisa tvorbe pridjeva propituju s obzirom na tvorbene načine te pripadajuće im sufikse i tvorbene preoblike. Dobiveni se rezultati analize uspoređuju sa suvremenim pristupima gramatičkim tvorbenim opisima pridjeva u hrvatskome jeziku.
Autor, motiviran ponajprije poznatom pretpostavkom o tome da je Marko Marulić možda studirao pravne znanosti, prvo daje pregled dosadašnjih ograničenih pokušaja da se govori o pravnoj terminologiji u Marulićevu opusu na hrvatskom jeziku. Poslije se, s obzirom na to da se u prikazanoj literaturi katkada implicira (ali i eksplicira) da se Marulić koristi tim terminima zato što je bio pravnik, pretragom spomenutog opusa u potrazi za potencijalnim pravnim terminima pokušava utvrditi može li se takvo razmišljanje bolje potkrijepiti ili pak opovrgnuti. Na kraju se raspravlja o metodološkim problemima, ograničenjima, ali i mogućnostima poboljšanja takvih filoloških istraživanja.
U novoštokavskim se govorima još uvijek dobro čuvaju ostatci starih naglasnih paradigama te su terenskim istraživanjem u govoru Komazina prikupljene imenice o-osnovâ muškoga roda. U članku se iznosi trenutačno stanje i opisuju promjene koje su zahvatile sve naglasne paradigme. Potvrđena je tendencija prelaska nekih imenica iz n. p. A u n. p. B, dok u množinskim oblicima nisu zabilježene sekundarne promjene naglaska. Staro stanje, pomičnost naglaska i preskakanje na proklitiku čuva se u n. p. C, no u množini se širi nepomičan naglasak na prvome slogu. Većina imenica n. p. B mno¬žinu ujednačava prema n. p. C, dok obrnut utjecaj nije zabilježen, a na n. p. A je neznatan. Donose se primjeri koji upućuju na moguće postojanje sinkronijske n. p. D.
U ovome se radu obrađuju naglasne značajke u govorima i toponimiji Zažablja i Popova. U prvome se dijelu rada iznose bitne fonološke, morfološke, sintaktičke i leksičke značajke obrađenoga područja te ga se uspoređuje s drugim štokavskim govorima. U središnjemu se dijelu rada obrađuju mjesne naglasne osobitosti, primjerice naglašivanje starih i suvremenih posuđenica, razlikovna uloga naglaska te odrazi praslavenskih naglasnih paradigma. U završnome se dijelu iznose i neke naglasne razlike u mjesnim govorima, poglavito s obzirom na narodnosnu pripadnost.
U ovome radu autor će, na osnovu vlastitih istraživanja, pokušati dati sumaran prikaz akcenatskih svojstava govora otoka Iža, smještenog u zadarskom arhipelagu. Namjera mu je smjestiti iški govor i akcenatski sustav među drugim čakavskim otočkim govorima, dati fonetski i fonološki opis pojedinih akcenata i potkrijepiti ih primjerima koje je čuo od iških govornika i, konačno, pokušati utvrditi fonološki status čakavskog akuta u iškome govoru. Budući da su istraživanja bila ograničenoga karaktera, ovaj rad nije zamišljen kao konačan opis, već kao polažišna točka za buduća istraživanja koja je potrebno izvršiti na osnovu kojih će se moći napraviti što iscrpniji i potpuniji opis iškoga govora i akcenatskoga sustava.
U članku je riječ o sklonidbi i naglasku imenica srednjega roda o-sklonidbe u mjesnom govoru sela Jevšček pokraj Livka (općina Kobarid, Slovenija), koji pripada nadiškomu dijalektu slovenskoga, i to sa sinkronijskoga i dijakronijskoga aspekta. S aspekta jezikoslovnoga opisa prikazani su nastavci i njihova distribucija s obzirom na osnovu te naglasni tipovi i njihove paradigme. U jezičnopovijesnome dijelu određuje se povijesni izvod pojedinih nastavaka i naglasnih tipova. Opisani oblici i naglasni sustav postavljaju se u širi slovenski i slavenski kontekst.
The article analyzes the accentuation of western South Slavic l-participles of verbal stems ending in an occlusive that are formed by adding the formant *-l- directly to the stem, e.g. *nes-lъ, Croatian nȅsao, Slovene nesel. Data from Slovene, Čakavian, Kajkavian and Štokavian dialects are compared and discussed against the background of late Proto-Slavic and early dialectal accentual and phonological changes. The operation of accentological changes such as Dybo’s law, Stang’s law and the rise of the neocircumflex, as well as the reduction of weak jers caused alternations in tone, vowel-length and position of the ictus. These alterations could be analogically eliminated or extended at different times and in different areas during the linguistic history of western South Slavic, thus causing the rise of some of the earliest isoglosses in the area in which western South Slavic is spoken.
Ovaj rad predstavit će akcentuaciju, podrijetlo i distribuciju naglasaka u kajkavskim govorima istočne ludbreške Podravine. Prozodija ludbreških govora naselja istočno od Ludbrega, u smjeru Ludbreg – Legrad, nije prikazana u dosadašnjim istraživanjima mjesnih govora toga kraja pa je cilj ovoga rada opisati sadašnje stanje koje se zbog utjecaja medija i migracija stanovništva mijenja, a jedna od očekivanih promjena u razvoju fonoloških sustava mjesnih govora gubljenje je oprjeke po kvantiteti. Istraživanja će se nadovezati na dosad provedena istraživanja fonoloških sustava govora ludbreške Podravine.
Tema članka je naglasak i-glagolâ u govoru mjesta Banjole (oko 6 km južno od Pule), koji pripada premanturskoj skupini govorâ jugozapadnoga istarskog dijalekta. Ta je skupina govora zanimljiva jer se odlikuje nekim obilježjima tipičnima za štokavsko narječje (npr. nastavak -ā u Gmn.) te vjerojatno predstavlja ostatak prijelaznih južnočakavsko-zapadnoštokavskih govora, donesen u Istru tijekom seobâ u 16. i 17. st. Naglasni se sustav tih govora i u općim crtama donekle razlikuje od onoga ostalih JZ istarskih govora; npr. naglasak se tu povlači na prethodni slog u većem broju okolinâ, čuva se preskakanje naglaska na prednaglasnice i sl., zbog čega se oni, uz ostalo, i svrstavaju u zasebnu skupinu.
Kada je riječ o naglasku i-glagolâ, stanje je u raznim slavenskim govorima raznoliko i složeno. Opis situacije u govoru Banjolâ dopunit će sliku dobivenu istraživanjima drugih slavenskih govorâ te pripomoći rekonstrukciji naglaska toga glagolskog tipa u općeslavenskom.
U članku se opisuje naglasak imenica u govoru mjesta Kali na otoku Ugljanu. Uvodni dio rada čini kraći prikaz kaljskih glasova i deklinacije kaljskih imenica, jezgru čini pregled kaljskih imeničkih naglasnih paradigama te naglaska imenica s prefiksima i sufiksima, a na kraju se nalaze popis češćih kaljskih imenica i kraći kaljski tekst kao primjer govora.

Franz Kafkas Äußerungen zu seiner angeblichen Unmusikalität sind in der Kafka-Forschung hinlänglich bekannt. Weniger erforscht ist, wie diese spezifische Unmusikalität mit Kafkas poetologischem Konzept zu vereinen ist. Die Auffassung von Musik in seinen Texten, wie zum Beispiel in 'Josefine, die Sängerin' oder 'Das Volk der Mäuse', im Schluss des Romanfragments 'Der Verschollene' und in seinen Briefen und Tagebucheintragungen, verdeutlicht, dass er ein ganz anderes Verständnis von Musik hatte als etwa sein musikalischer Freund Max Brod. Vor dem Hintergrund von Brods Übersetzungsarbeit am Libretto von Leoš Janáčeks 'Jenůfa (Ihre Ziehtochter)' und von der Einführung der Oper auf die internationale Szene wird ein Zusammenhang zwischen Musikalität und Kafkas Auffassung von Literatur hergestellt.
Noch vor 1900 wurde der Begriff 'Hermetismus' aus den spätantiken Geheimlehren auf die Literatur übertragen - um bald danach in der sog. hermetischen Lyrik eine negative Etikettierung zu erhalten. Vor allem die Dichter, die sich einer Poetik der Unverständlichkeit bedient haben, wurden somit kritisiert und zurückgewiesen. Dabei wurde oft übersehen, dass diese Unverständlichkeit keineswegs eine eitle Machart selbstbewusster Dichter war, sondern eine innere Notwendigkeit. Am Beispiel dessen, wie Paul Celan (1920–1970) und Nelly Sachs (1891–1970) die Shoah lyrisch verarbeiteten, sollen Gründe für die Wahl der hermetischen Ausdrucksweise gefunden werden: eine zu komplexe und widersprüchliche Wirklichkeit, die Angst vor der Gefährdung durch eine verständliche Aussage oder die Entscheidung für das 'offene Kunstwerk' mit beliebig vielen möglichen Interpretationen.
"wir haben ein land aus worten." In Semier Insayif Roman 'Faruq' (2009) geht es um Worte und Erinnerungen, um das (Nicht-)Sprechen-Können und darum, Sprache und Gedächtnis zu verlieren. Es geht um das Schreiben, Sprechen und Rezitieren im Bereich des Dazwischen von Sprachen und Kulturen. Ausgehend von der Perspektive des Ich-Erzählers im Text entfalten sich die Nuancen und Facetten des Lebens als Geschichten, als Texturen der Erinnerung und als eine Art Sprach- und Klanggewebe. Bezugnehmend auf eben diese poetischen und rhetorischen Aspekte des Textes wird eine Lektüre unternommen, die auf postkolonialen und dekonstruktiven Ansätzen wie auch auf Gedächtnistheorien basiert. Die Lektüre versucht sowohl auf die Anforderungen und Besonderheiten des Textes in allen Facetten des Dazwischens zu reagieren als auch jene Perspektiven zu ergründen, die für die zeitgenössische Entwicklung der sogenannten Migrationsliteratur signifikant sind.
Angekommensein ist Unterwegssein : zur Neudeutung der Begriffe 'Flucht' und 'Wohnen' bei Fred Wander
(2014)
Der Aufsatz untersucht die literarisch-philosophischen Voraussetzungen von Fred Wanders Prosaschriften, insbesondere seinen Hotelromanen. Ausgangspunkt des Beitrags ist Wanders Autobiographie 'Das gute Leben' (2006), mit besonderem Augenmerk auf das Adjektiv 'gut' und dessen kontextueller Bedeutung. Sein Verständnis von 'gut' weist auf die Notwendigkeit einer neuen Ethik für die Überlebenden des Naziterrors hin, die sich teils mit Adornos Ethik-Begriff der 'Minima Moralia', teils mit Heideggers Kritik des Humanismus deckt. Vor allem die Begriffe 'Flucht' und 'Wohnen' - bei Wander jeweils als 'gelassenes Ausweichen' ebenso als 'Haus-Hotel-Metapher' dargestellt - tragen zu einer neuen Bestimmung von Wanders Ethik-Begriff bei, die allen Menschen helfen soll, vergangenes und gegenwärtiges Unheil zu überleben.
Die Feminisierung der Migration ist trotz ihrer verspäteten öffentlichen Wahrnehmung kein neues Phänomen: Seit den Anfängen der Arbeitsmigration immigrierten Frauen nicht nur als 'Anhängsel' ihrer Männer, sondern auch selbständig in die deutschsprachigen Länder. In der Öffentlichkeit werden sie bis heute, von stereotypen medialen Zerrbildern beeinflusst, als Opfer wahrgenommen, als die fremde Frau, die sprach- und chancenlos ist. Der Beitrag untersucht vor diesem Hintergrund und am Beispiel von Julya Rabinowichs Roman 'Die Erdfresserin' (2012) die weibliche Identitätssuche unter den Bedingungen der nicht-privilegierten Formen der Migration nach Österreich und im Spannungsfeld von Ethnizität, Kultur, Geschlecht und Klasse.
Der Beitrag widmet sich den genderspezifischen Aspekten angesichts des Terrors und Totalitarismus in den Romanen 'Studenten, Liebe, Tscheka und Tod' (1931) von Alja Rachmanowa und 'Spaltkopf' (2008) von Julya Rabinowich. Anhand zweier Figuren - Griselda Nikolajewna (Rachmanowa) und Ada/Rahel (Rabinowich) - werden ganz unterschiedliche Verhaltensmuster weiblicher Gewaltopfer aufgezeigt: politische Verblendung und krankhaftes Morden, also Gewalt gegen andere (Griselda Nikolajewna) und Scham, Verdrängung und Verfälschung der eigenen Identität - Gewalt gegen sich selbst (Ada/Rahel). Von zentraler Bedeutung ist dabei die von beiden Frauen geteilte Gewalterfahrung in der Begegnung mit dem Fremden: Während Griselda Nikolajewna von ihrem chinesischen Ehemann misshandelt und halbtot verprügelt wurde, musste das kleine jüdische Mädchen Rahel zuschauen, wie sein Vater von Antisemiten umgebracht wurde.
Dieser Beitrag setzt sich mit der wenig bekannten Schriftstellerin Viktorija Kocman und ihrem Werk auseinander. Kocman gehört zur jüngeren Generation der auf Deutsch schreibenden ImmigrantInnen aus dem ehemaligen Jugoslawien. Die gebürtige Belgraderin beschäftigt sich in ihren Texten mit Migration und den Jugoslawienkriegen. Der Aufsatz gliedert sich in drei Teile: Der erste Teil stellt mit einem Fokus auf die eigenen Erfahrungen der Migration und des Sprachwechsels die Autorin vor. Im darauffolgenden Teil werden die einzelnen Publikationen in chronologischer Reihenfolge kurz präsentiert, kategorisiert sowie Kocman im literarischen Feld positioniert. Der abschließende Teil nimmt eine thematische Analyse des Werkganzen vor, wobei das entworfene Wien-Bild, die Ost-West-Dichotomie, das Thema der Zugehörigkeit sowie der Umgang mit dem Fremden hinsichtlich des Eigenen untersucht werden.
Dieser Beitrag stellt das sowohl auf Serbisch als auch auf Deutsch verfasste Werk von Ivan Ivanji vor und bezieht es auf Fragestellungen zur trans- bzw. interkulturellen Literatur. Als Schwerpunkt dabei wird die Konstruktion von kultureller Identität untersucht, die seinem Werk zugrunde liegt. Ivanji zeichnet ein transkulturelles Bild seiner Herkunftsregion Banat und thematisiert Mehrsprachigkeit als Normalität. Doch das Werk entzieht sich weitgehend einer Einordnung in Kategorien der sogenannten Migrations- bzw. interkulturellen Literatur. Nicht einmal eindeutig beantwortet werden kann, ob Ivanji in seiner Muttersprache schreibt. Die Texte verzichten auf eine verfremdende Einarbeitung der Mehrsprachigkeit und auf Distanz zur und Brüchen mit der deutschen literarischen Tradition. Manche Schwierigkeiten der Begrifflichkeiten und Kategorien wie 'Migrations-' oder 'interkulturelle Literatur' können so mit einer Betrachtung von Ivanjis Werk sichtbar gemacht werden.
Spätestens im Zuge der postkolonialen Theorie wurde auch in den Literaturwissenschaften eine Sichtweise auf Interkulturalität etabliert, die sich von Essentialismen und Dichotomien verabschiedet hat und kulturelle Identität nicht als starres Konstrukt, sondern allenfalls als das vorübergehende Resultat beständiger Prozesse des Aushandelns und der selektiven Aneignung versteht. Ort dieser Aushandlung ist nach Homi K. Bhabha der dritte Raum (third space), der als Schwellenraum zwischen Identität und Differenz gegen die Vorstellung scharf gezogener Grenzen opponiert. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird der Versuch unternommen, die vielfältigen Motive und Strukturelemente des Hybriden und Monströsen im Roman 'Terminifera' (2007) von Michael Stavarič im Kontext neuerer Ansätze der Interkulturalitätsforschung als Zeichen individueller Identitätsbildung jenseits binärer Ordnungssysteme (neu) zu interpretieren.

Anhand von zwei auf Deutsch verfassten essayistischen Texten von Jiří Gruša - 'Beneš als Österreicher' (2012) und 'Die Gebrauchsanweisung für Tschechien und Prag' (2003) - wird gezeigt, wie die Konzepte von Nationalgeschichte und Nationalliteratur an ihre Grenzen gebracht werden können: Durch vervielfältigende, ironisierende und verdichtende Verfahren werden nationale Selbst-Behauptungen entstellt, sowie die Konstitution und Funktion kollektiver Identitätsnarrative ausgestellt. Während in der Gebrauchsanweisung ausgerechnet ein 'pluralis nationalis' die Selbstvergewisserungen subvertiert, zeigt sich im bzw. durch den Beneš-Essay, wie die Erzählungen der Figur Beneš die Geister der Nation scheiden. Insofern werden die beiden Texte als Beispiele dafür gelesen, wie durch Schreibstrategien, aber auch angesichts editionsgeschichtlicher Zusammenhänge sowie im Hinblick auf die Rezeption eindeutige Zuweisungen zu einer Nationalliteratur oder Nationalgeschichte in Frage gestellt werden.
Background & Aims: Simeprevir is an oral, once-daily inhibitor of hepatitis c virus (HCV) protease NS3/4A. We investigated the safety and efficacy of simeprevir with peg-interferon α-2a and ribavirin (PR) in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial of patients with HCV genotype 1 infection who relapsed after previous interferon-based therapy.
Methods: Patients were assigned randomly (2:1) to groups given simeprevir (150 mg, once daily) and PR (n = 260) or placebo and PR (n = 133) for 12 weeks. Patients then were given PR alone for 12 or 36 weeks (simeprevir group, based on response-guided therapy criteria) or 36 weeks (placebo group).
Results: Simeprevir and PR was significantly superior to placebo and PR; rates of sustained virologic response 12 weeks after planned end of treatment (SVR12) were 79.2% vs 36.1%, respectively (43.8% difference; 95% confidence interval, 34.6–53.0; P < .001). Among patients given simeprevir, 92.7% met the response-guided therapy criteria and were eligible to complete PR at week 24; of these, 83.0% achieved SVR12. HCV RNA was undetectable at week 4 in 77.2% of patients given simeprevir and 3.1% given placebo. On-treatment failure and relapse rates were lower among patients given simeprevir and PR than those given placebo and PR (3.1% vs 27.1%, and 18.5% vs 48.4%, respectively). Patients given simeprevir did not have adverse events beyond those that occurred in patients given PR alone. Most adverse events were grades 1/2; the prevalence of anemia and rash was similar in both groups. Patients in both groups reported similar severity of fatigue and functional impairments during the study, but duration was reduced among patients given simeprevir.
Conclusions: In a phase 3 trial of patients who had relapsed after interferon-based therapy, the addition of simeprevir to PR was generally well tolerated, with an SVR12 rate of 79.2%. Most patients (92.7%) receiving simeprevir were able to shorten therapy to 24 weeks. ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT01281839.
In many markets, design is one of the key factors in determining a product’s success. The present research offers insights into the role of design for the success of cars, and offers procedures to measure the quality of the designs objectively. The authors show that visual design plays a major role in a product’s success in the automobile market. In the study, two visual design aspects were already sufficient to significantly improve traditional sales forecasting models for cars. Visual prototypicality and visual complexity both had a positive impact on sales, and designs that were perceived as both prototypical and complex were the ones that displayed the best results. Most design evaluation used to be based on subjective measures, but the researcher applied a new, objective procedure to measure prototypicality and complexity. While the latter was detected by the disk space needed by the compressed image file, the new approach for measuring prototypicality was even more sophisticated. It relied on the technique of image morphing. Morphing is a technique that allows the construction of a visual synthesis – or average picture – from a number of individual pictures. Once a car morph is developed, one can determine the visual similarity of different car models to the morph in order to obtain its prototypicality. In principle, this procedure can be automated completely, and including a large number of versions is possible. These measures therefore seem suitable for supporting design decision processes in practice.
OBJECTIVES: Outcome of aortic valve replacement may be influenced by the choice of bioprosthesis. Pericardial heart valves are described to have a favourable haemodynamic profile compared with porcine valves, although the clinical notability of this finding is still controversially debated. Herein, we compared the long-term results of two commonly implanted bioprosthesis at a single centre.
METHODS: All consecutive patients undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement with either a Carpentier-Edwards Magna pericardial prosthesis or a Medtronic Mosaic porcine prosthesis between 2002 and 2008 were analysed regarding preoperative characteristics, short- and long-term survival, valve-related complications and echocardiographic findings.
RESULTS: The Medtronic Mosaic was implanted in 163 patients and the Carpentier-Edwards Magna in 295 patients. The sizes of implanted valves were 22.4 ± 1.5 mm for the Mosaic and 21.8 ± 1.8 mm for the Magna (P = 0.001). The long-term survival rate was 76 and 56% after 5 and 10 years for the Medtronic Mosaic, which was comparable with the Carpentier-Edwards Magna (77 and 57%; P = 0.92). Overall long-term survival was comparable with an age- and sex-matched Austrian general population for both groups. Valve-related adverse events were similar between groups. The postoperative mean transvalvular gradient was significantly increased in the Mosaic group (24 ± 9 mmHg vs 17 ± 7 mmHg; P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Both types of aortic bioprostheses offer excellent results after isolated aortic valve replacement. Despite relevant differences in gradients, long-term survival was comparable with the expected normal survival for both bioprostheses. Patients with a porcine heart valve had a higher postoperative transvalvular gradient.
The paper is aimed at contributing to an empirically grounded understanding of the psychosocial dynamics that underlie the relation between heteronormative images of masculinity, internalized heterosexism and health behavior of gay men in the global North. It is based on a qualitative interview study that focuses on the consequences of the internalization of dominant images of masculinity for the identity constructions of gay men and their HIV-related sexual risk behavior in Germany. In the paper it will be argued that 1) the tension between the authoritative image of masculinity that is determined by heteronormative discourses one the one hand and the gendered self-image that is shaped and threatened by connotations of a non-masculine homosexuality on the other constitutes a decisive issue of gay identity constructions, 2) a higher sexual risk behavior can be understood as a possible consequence of the internalization of masculine images and its impact on the self-esteem, if the self-image does not match the male ideal, and 3) this may include a paradoxical desire for the imagined masculinity that is experienced as violent with regard to one’s own psychodynamics. Finally, perspectives on gay masculinities that may transgress dominant heteronormative modes of subjectification are discussed.
CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) represent a specialized subpopulation of T cells, which are essential for maintaining peripheral tolerance and preventing autoimmunity. The immunomodulatory effects of Tregs depend on their activation status. Here we show that, in contrast to conventional anti-CD4 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), the humanized CD4-specific monoclonal antibody tregalizumab (BT-061) is able to selectively activate the suppressive properties of Tregs in vitro. BT-061 activates Tregs by binding to CD4 and activation of signaling downstream pathways. The specific functionality of BT-061 may be explained by the recognition of a unique, conformational epitope on domain 2 of the CD4 molecule that is not recognized by other anti-CD4 mAbs. We found that, due to this special epitope binding, BT-061 induces a unique phosphorylation of T-cell receptor complex-associated signaling molecules. This is sufficient to activate the function of Tregs without activating effector T cells. Furthermore, BT-061 does not induce the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. These results demonstrate that BT-061 stimulation via the CD4 receptor is able to induce T-cell receptor-independent activation of Tregs. Selective activation of Tregs via CD4 is a promising approach for the treatment of autoimmune diseases where insufficient Treg activity has been described. Clinical investigation of this new approach is currently ongoing.
Brain activity reveals exquisite coordination across spatial scales, from local microcircuits to brain-wide networks. Understanding how the brain represents, transforms and communicates information requires simultaneous recordings from distributed nodes of whole brain networks with single-cell resolution. Realizing multi-site recordings from communicating populations is hampered by the need to isolate clusters of interacting cells, often on a day-to-day basis. Chronic implantation of multi-electrode arrays allows long-term tracking of activity. Lithography on thin films provides a means to produce arrays of variable resolution, a high degree of flexibility, and minimal tissue displacement. Sequential application of surface arrays to monitor activity across brain-wide networks and subsequent implantation of laminar arrays to target specific populations enables continual refinement of spatial scale while maintaining coverage.
Generating functionals may guide the evolution of a dynamical system and constitute a possible route for handling the complexity of neural networks as relevant for computational intelligence.We propose and explore a new objective function, which allows to obtain plasticity rules for the afferent synaptic weights. The adaption rules are Hebbian, self-limiting, and result from the minimization of the Fisher information with respect to the synaptic flux. We perform a series of simulations examining the behavior of the new learning rules in various circumstances.The vector of synaptic weights aligns with the principal direction of input activities, whenever one is present. A linear discrimination is performed when there are two or more principal directions; directions having bimodal firing-rate distributions, being characterized by a negative excess kurtosis, are preferred. We find robust performance and full homeostatic adaption of the synaptic weights results as a by-product of the synaptic flux minimization. This self-limiting behavior allows for stable online learning for arbitrary durations.The neuron acquires new information when the statistics of input activities is changed at a certain point of the simulation, showing however, a distinct resilience to unlearn previously acquired knowledge. Learning is fast when starting with randomly drawn synaptic weights and substantially slower when the synaptic weights are already fully adapted.
Polo-like kinase 1 regulates the stability of the mitotic centromere-associated kinesin in mitosis
(2014)
Proper bi-orientation of chromosomes is critical for the accurate segregation of chromosomes in mitosis. A key regulator of this process is MCAK, the mitotic centromere-associated kinesin. During mitosis the activity and localization of MCAK are regulated by mitotic key kinases including Plk1 and Aurora B. We show here that S621 in the MCAK’s C-terminal domain is the major phosphorylation site for Plk1. This phosphorylation regulates MCAK’s stability and facilitates its recognition by the ubiquitin/proteasome dependent APC/CCdc20 pathway leading to its D-box dependent degradation in mitosis. While phosphorylation of S621 does not directly affect its microtubule depolymerising activity, loss of Plk1 phosphorylation on S621 indirectly enhances its depolymerization activity in vivo by stabilizing MCAK, leading to an increased level of protein. Interfering with phosphorylation at S621 causes spindle formation defects and chromosome misalignments. Therefore, this study suggests a new mechanism by which Plk1 regulates MCAK: by regulating its degradation and hence controlling its turnover in mitosis.
Global Governance ist in: Klingt neuartig, global ist eigentlich auch alles und wer will sich schon vorwerfen lassen, noch im „methodologischen Nationalismus“ verhaftet zu sein? Dies ist überspitzt formuliert, doch wie sich zeigte nicht ganz unberechtigt. Nichtsdestotrotz waren die OrganisatorInnen des ersten Weltkongresses der International Association of Political Science Students (IAPSS) wohl selbst überrascht als zur Tagung mit dem Titel „The Limits of Global Governance“ rund 200 Anmeldungen von Studierenden kamen. In Thessaloniki, der europäischen Jugendhauptstadt 2014, wurde vier Tage über Global Governance debattiert und in den insgesamt sieben studentischen Panels, zahlreichen Vorträgen von etablierten WissenschaftlerInnen und weiteren Veranstaltungen zeigte sich vor allem die Vielfalt und Breite des Themas. Wir werden daher im Folgenden Schlaglichter auf interessante Veranstaltungen und Inhalte werfen und abschließend ein kritisch-konstruktives Fazit der Tagung ziehen.
Objective: To investigate the impact of HPV status in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), who received surgery and cisplatin-based postoperative radiochemotherapy.
Materials and methods: For 221 patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx, oropharynx or oral cavity treated at the 8 partner sites of the German Cancer Consortium, the impact of HPV DNA, p16 overexpression and p53 expression on outcome were retrospectively analysed. The primary endpoint was loco-regional tumour control; secondary endpoints were distant metastases and overall survival.
Results: In the total patient population, univariate analyses revealed a significant impact of HPV16 DNA positivity, p16 overexpression, p53 positivity and tumour site on loco-regional tumour control. Multivariate analysis stratified for tumour site showed that positive HPV 16 DNA status correlated with loco-regional tumour control in patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma (p = 0.02) but not in the oral cavity carcinoma group. Multivariate evaluation of the secondary endpoints in the total population revealed a significant association of HPV16 DNA positivity with overall survival (p < 0.01) but not with distant metastases.
Conclusions: HPV16 DNA status appears to be a strong prognosticator of loco-regional tumour control after postoperative cisplatin-based radiochemotherapy of locally advanced oropharyngeal carcinoma and is now being explored in a prospective validation trial.
Late stage cancer is often associated with reduced immune recognition and a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. The presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and specific gene-signatures prior to treatment are linked to good prognosis, while the opposite is true for extensive immunosuppression. The use of adenoviruses as cancer vaccines is a form of active immunotherapy to initialise a tumor-specific immune response that targets the patient’s unique tumor antigen repertoire. We report a case of a 68-year-old male with asbestos-related malignant pleural mesothelioma who was treated in a Phase I study with a granulocyte-macrophage colony‑stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-expressing oncolytic adenovirus, Ad5/3-D24-GMCSF (ONCOS-102). The treatment resulted in prominent infiltration of CD8C lymphocytes to tumor, marked induction of systemic antitumor CD8C T-cells and induction of Th1- type polarization in the tumor. These results indicate that ONCOS-102 treatment sensitizes tumors to other immunotherapies by inducing a T-cell positive phenotype to an initially T-cell negative tumor.
"Kapabel, miserabel, aimabel" : Funktionen der französischen Sprachelemente in Heinrich Heines Lyrik
(2014)
Durch das gesamte Werk Heinrich Heines ziehen sich fremdsprachige Einstreuungen, wobei diejenigen in französischer Sprache das größte Gewicht einnehmen. Nach einem Rekurs auf Heines biographische Situation und sein Verhältnis zur deutschen und französischen Sprache werden Form und Funktion der französischen Einsprengsel – vor allem Adjektive, substantivierte Verben und Interjektionen – in Heines lyrischen Texten untersucht. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele zeigt der Beitrag, dass die französischen Elemente offensichtlich bewusst eingesetzt wurden, um bestimmte semantische Strategien zu verfolgen. Dabei können vor allem sprach-spielerische und gesellschaftskritische Funktionen nachgewiesen werden.
Response to Kriticos et al.
(2014)
Various aspects of uncertainty have become topical in pest risk modelling discussions. A recent contribution to the literature sought to explore the effect of taxonomic uncertainty on modelled pest risk. The case study involved a high profile plant pathogen Puccinia psidii, which causes a major disease of plants within the Myrtaceae family. Consequently, the results and recommendations may attract a wide range of interest in the biosecurity and pest risk modelling communities. We found the study by Elith et al. (2013) included a number of methodological issues that limit some of the specific and general conclusions reached in the paper. We discuss these issues and the ensuing implications for biosecurity management. We also draw attention to the need for pest risk modellers and biosecurity managers to find ways to communicate more effectively. We urge modellers and managers alike to develop a better understanding of the challenges and limitations of modelling species potential distributions across novel climates, and to be able to appreciate the meanings and limitations of models framed in different ways.
This dataset represents a registry of species that are not native but recorded to live in the wild of at least one of the four countries that comprise the Two Seas Area, i.e. Great Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. For each of the 6,661 species, subspecies and hybrids listed, we provide detailed information on its status in each country, taxonomic affiliation and environment inhabited. The data were collected by review of 36 web- and print-based sources over an eight-month period. Further systematic scanning of three of the most relevant scientific journals, i.e. Neobiota, Aquatic Invasions and BioInvasions Records, recovered 19 additional relevant publications from which information was included in the registry. As a result, the registry will serve as a basis for developing effective, cross-boundary strategies to manage and control non-native species, which can have severe ecological and economic impacts. The registry can further be used as a general reference for both scientists and practitioners, as well as a tool to assess reliability and comprehensiveness of other well-known databases such as the DAISIE portal.
The article reviews distribution records of Deroceras invadens (previously called D. panormitanum and D. caruanae), adding significant unpublished records from the authors’ own collecting, museum samples, and interceptions on goods arriving in the U.S.A. By 1940 D. invadens had already arrived in Britain, Denmark, California, Australia and probably New Zealand; it has turned up in many further places since, including remote oceanic islands, but scarcely around the eastern Mediterranean (Egypt and Crete are the exceptions), nor in Asia. Throughout much of the Americas its presence seems to have been previously overlooked, probably often being mistaken for D. laeve. New national records include Mexico, Costa Rica, and Ecuador, with evidence from interceptions of its presence in Panama, Peru, and Kenya. The range appears limited by cold winters and dry summers; this would explain why its intrusion into eastern Europe and southern Spain has been rather slow and incomplete. At a finer geographic scale, the occurrence of the congener D. reticulatum provides a convenient comparison to control for sampling effort; D. invadens is often about half as frequently encountered and sometimes predominates. Deroceras invadens is most commonly found in synanthropic habitats, particularly gardens and under rubbish, but also in greenhouses, and sometimes arable land and pasture. It may spread into natural habitats, as in Britain, South Africa,
Australia and Tenerife. Many identifications have been checked in the light of recent taxonomic revision, revealing that the sibling species D. panormitanum s.s. has spread much less extensively. A number of published or online records, especially in Australia, have turned out to be misidentifications of D. laeve.
Non-neuronal acetylcholine plays a substantial role in the human skin by influencing adhesion, migration, proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes. These processes are regulated by the Mitogen-Activated Protein (MAP) kinase cascade. Here we show that in HaCaT keratinocytes all five muscarinic receptor subtypes are expressed, but M1 and M3 are the subtypes involved in mitogenic signaling. Stimulation with the cholinergic agonist carbachol leads to activation of the MAP kinase extracellular signal regulated kinase, together with the protein kinase Akt. The activation is fully dependent on the transactivation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which even appears to be the sole pathway for the muscarinic receptors to facilitate MAP kinase activation in HaCaT cells. The transactivation pathway involves a triple-membrane-passing process, based on activation of matrix metalloproteases, and extracellular ligand release; whereas phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, Src family kinases or protein kinase C do not appear to be involved in MAP kinase activation. Furthermore, phosphorylation, ubiquitination and endocytosis of the EGF receptor after cholinergic transactivation are different from that induced by a direct stimulation with EGF, suggesting that ligands other than EGF itself mediate the cholinergic transactivation.
Im Aufsatz versucht der Autor, nach einer textgestützten Interpretation von Martial II 51, zu zeigen, wie der Epigrammatiker die Fabel des augusteischen Historikers Livius vom Magen und den Gliedern (II 32,9ff.) in eine frivole Parodie überführt und sie zu einer witzigen und grotesken Karikatur verformt – ein spöttisches Spiel mit gattungs- und literaturgeschichtlichen Elementen.
Die bisher vorliegenden Lesungen einer fragmentarischen Weihinschrift aus Solothurn/Salodurum (CIL XIII 5170) müssen in einigen Punkten korrigiert werden. So ist die Lesung des Personennamens [O]pilius, Ma[o]pilius, Ma[ga]pilius oder Mapilius zu verwerfen. Wahrscheinlich führte der Dedikant der Inschrift den Namen M(arcus) A(urelius) [Ap]rilius. Das Gentilnomen Aprilius ist in den germanischen Provinzen und der Gallia Belgica mehrfach bezeugt.
In den römischen Grabinschriften 2. N. Nr.129 (Mittelstrimmig) und CIL XIII 6202 (Schwarzerden) sollte D•F zu d(e)f(unctis) bzw. d(e)f(uncto) aufgelöst werden und nicht zu D(ecimi) f(ilio) bzw. d(efuncto) f(ecit). Die Wendung defunctus kommt im gallisch-germanischen Raum vor allem in Bordeaux/Burdigala und im Gebiet von Trier/Augusta Treverorum vor.
It has become increasingly apparent over the last decades that cooking pottery played a considerable role as a trade commodity in ancient times, yet relatively little research has yet been done on this topic for its own sake. By taking a closer look at the cooking pottery found in Priene, a small city in southern Ionia re-founded in the middle of the 4th century BCE, we want to trace some of the broader developments within the cooking wares that were used over a period of roughly 300 years. The aim is not only to outline the general shapes that were in use over this period of time, but also to register if and how these shapes correlate with the different fabrics observed in Priene so far.
The title compound, [Li2(C25H23BN4OP)2], features a centrosymmetric dimeric complex. The four-memberered Li2O2 ring is exactly planar due to symmetry. The Li atom is four-coordinated by two O atoms and by two N atoms of two different pyrazole rings. The dihedral angle between two pyrazole rings bonded to the same B atom is 45.66 (9)°. The B—N—N—Li—N—N metalla ring adopts a boat conformation. The crystal packing is stabilized by van der Waals interactions only.
The structure of the title compound, C8H16N4, which consists of four fused seven-membered rings, has been redetermined at 173 K. This redetermination corrects the orientation of two H atoms, which were located at unrealistic positions in the original room-temperature study [Murray-Rust (1974[Murray-Rust, P. (1974). J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 2, pp. 1136-1141.]). J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 2, pp. 1136–1141]. The complete molecule is generated by -42m symmetry, with one quarter of a molecule [one N atom (site symmetry m), two C atoms (one with site symmetry m and the other with site symmetry 2) and two H atoms] in the asymmetric unit. No directional interactions beyond van der Waals contacts are apparent in the crystal structure.
In the title compound, C40H76Si, the Si atom is located on a special position of site symmetry -4. Thus, there is just a quarter of a molecule in the asymmetric unit. The C=C double bonds exhibit a trans configuration. The Si atom and the tert-butyl group are located on the same side of the plane formed by the C=C double bond and its four substituents. The crystal packing shows no short contacts between the molecules and despite the low crystal density (0.980 Mg m−3), there are no significant voids in the structure.
In the title compound, C19H24N2O2, a di-Mannich base derived from 2-methylphenol and 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane, the imidazolidine ring adopts a twist conformation, with a twist about the ring N—C bond [C—N—C—C torsion angle = −44.34 (14)°]. The two 2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzyl groups are located in trans positions with respect to the imidazolidine fragment. The structure displays two intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which each form an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O interactions with a bifurcated acceptor, forming a three-dimensional network.
In the title solvate, C14H12N2O·0.5C6H6, the complete benzene molecule is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre. The dihedral angle between the planes of the benzimidazole moiety and the phenol substituent is 75.28 (3)°. In the crystal, O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into parallel chains propagating along [100]. The molecules are further connected by C—H⋯π interactions.
Background: The invasive eel parasite Anguillicoloides crassus (syn. Anguillicola crassus) is considered one of the major causes for the decline of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) panmictic population. It impairs the swim bladder function and reduces swimming performance of its host. The life cycle of this parasite involves different intermediate and paratenic hosts. Despite an efficient immune system of the paratenic fish hosts acting against infections with A. crassus, levels of parasitized eels remain high in European river systems. Recently, the round goby Neogobius melanostomus (Gobiidae) has become dominant in many rivers in Europe and is still spreading at a rapid pace. This highly invasive species might potentially act as an important, so far neglected paratenic fish host for A. crassus.
Methods: Based on own observations and earlier single sightings of A. crassus in N. melanostomus, 60 fresh individuals of N. melanostomus were caught in the Rhine River and examined to assess the infection levels with metazoan parasites, especially A. crassus. Glycerin preparations were used for parasite identification.
Results: The parasite most frequently found in N. melanostomus was the acanthocephalan Pomphorhynchus sp. (subadult stage) which occurred mainly encysted in the mesenteries and liver. Every third gobiid (P = 31.7%) was infected by A. crassus larvae (L3) which exclusively occurred inside the acanthocephalan cysts. No intact or degenerated larvae of A. crassus were detected elsewhere in the goby, neither in the body cavity and mesenteries nor in other organs. Affected cysts contained the acanthocephalan larvae and 1-12 (mI =3) living A. crassus larvae. Additionally, encysted larvae of the nematode Raphidascaris acus were detected in the gobies, but only in the body cavity and not inside the acanthocephalan cysts.
Conclusions: Based on our observations, we suggest that A. crassus might actively bypass the immune response of N. melanostomus by invading the cysts of acanthocephalan parasites of the genus Pomphorhynchus using them as "Trojan horses". Providing that eels prey on the highly abundant round goby and that the latter transfers viable infective larvae of A. crassus, the new paratenic host might have a strong impact on the epidemiology of A. crassus.
The late physicist Carl Sagan, whom I quote in the first part of my title, skillfully phrased the common sense view on evidence in the mature sciences. In linguistics, however, evidence has become a controversial issue, especially so when it comes to the investigation of less well studied languages. In this paper, I argue that Sagan's principle should be applied to linguistics. The growing accessibility of a wide array of experimental techniques and computational tools to analyze such data makes it feasible to back up extraordinary claims with evidence from a variety of sources. At the same time, it is in many cases possible to agree on what constitutes an ordinary claim and focus the extra effort on extraordinary claims. For non-controversial claims no more than the minimum effort to establish the claim and properly document the evidence is necessary.
Im Folgenden soll kurz geklärt werden, was Genus ist (Kap. 2) und – auch wenn diese Frage nicht mit unserem derzeitigen Wissen beantwortbar ist – woher Genus kommen könnte (Kap. 3). Hauptsächlich stellt sich jedoch die Frage: Was tun mit Genus, das heute das Endstadium einer langen Grammatikalisierung darstellt (Kap. 4)? Hier wird die wichtigste Antwort lauten: Genus hat eine neue, eine syntaktische Nutzung erfahren, indem es maßgeblich daran beteiligt ist, unsere berühmten Nominalklammern zu bauen (4.1). Außerdem gibt es weitere "Recyclingmöglichkeiten" von Genus, nämlich: a) Objekte, die Namen tragen, zu klassifizieren (die Kaiser Wilhelm), b) Beziehungen zwischen namentragenden und namenverwendenden Personen zu qualifizieren (der Peterle, das Anna) oder sogar c) Personen zu degradieren (das Merkel). Mit Punkt a) begebe ich mich in die Onomastik, mit Punkt b) in die Dialektologie, und mit Punkt c) werde ich mit der Genderlinguistik enden.
Mapping is an important tool for the management of plant invasions. If landscapes are mapped in an appropriate way, results can help managers decide when and where to prioritize their efforts. We mapped vegetation with the aim of providing key information for managers on the extent, density and rates of spread of multiple invasive species across the landscape. Our case study focused on an area of Galapagos National Park that is faced with the challenge of managing multiple plant invasions. We used satellite imagery to produce a spatially explicit database of plant species densities in the canopy, finding that 92% of the humid highlands had some degree of invasion and 41% of the canopy was comprised of invasive plants. We also calculated the rate of spread of eight invasive species using known introduction dates, finding that species with the most limited dispersal ability had the slowest spread rates while those able to disperse long distances had a range of spread rates. Our results on spread rate fall at the lower end of the range of published spread rates of invasive plants. This is probably because most studies are based on the entire geographic extent, whereas our estimates took plant density into account. A spatial database of plant species densities, such as the one developed in our case study, can be used by managers to decide where to apply management actions and thereby help curtail the spread of current plant invasions. For example, it can be used to identify sites containing several invasive plant species, to find the density of a particular species across the landscape or to locate where native species make up the majority of the canopy. Similar databases could be developed elsewhere to help inform the management of multiple plant invasions over the landscape.
The deregulation of Polo-like kinase 1 is inversely linked to the prognosis of patients with diverse human tumors. Targeting Polo-like kinase 1 has been widely considered as one of the most promising strategies for molecular anticancer therapy. While the preclinical results are encouraging, the clinical outcomes are rather less inspiring by showing limited anticancer activity. It is thus of importance to identify molecules and mechanisms responsible for the sensitivity of Polo-like kinase 1 inhibition. We have recently shown that p21Cip1/CDKN1A is involved in the regulation of mitosis and its loss prolongs the mitotic duration accompanied by defects in chromosome segregation and cytokinesis in various tumor cells. In the present study, we demonstrate that p21 affects the efficacy of Polo-like kinase 1 inhibitors, especially Poloxin, a specific inhibitor of the unique Polo-box domain. Intriguingly, upon treatment with Polo-like kinase 1 inhibitors, p21 is increased in the cytoplasm, associated with anti-apoptosis, DNA repair and cell survival. By contrast, deficiency of p21 renders tumor cells more susceptible to Polo-like kinase 1 inhibition by showing a pronounced mitotic arrest, DNA damage and apoptosis. Furthermore, long-term treatment with Plk1 inhibitors induced fiercely the senescent state of tumor cells with functional p21. We suggest that the p21 status may be a useful biomarker for predicting the efficacy of Plk1 inhibition.
The transcription factor Tal1 is a critical activator or repressor of gene expression in hematopoiesis and leukaemia. The mechanism by which Tal1 differentially influences transcription of distinct genes is not fully understood. Here we show that Tal1 interacts with the peptidylarginine deiminase IV (PADI4). We demonstrate that PADI4 can act as an epigenetic coactivator through influencing H3R2me2a. At the Tal1/PADI4 target gene IL6ST the repressive H3R2me2a mark triggered by PRMT6 is counteracted by PADI4, which augments the active H3K4me3 mark and thus increases IL6ST expression. In contrast, at the CTCF promoter PADI4 acts as a repressor. We propose that the influence of PADI4 on IL6ST transcription plays a role in the control of IL6ST expression during lineage differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. These results open the possibility to pharmacologically influence Tal1 in leukaemia.
Predominant polarity in bipolar disorder and validation of the polarity index in a German sample
(2014)
Background: A large number of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) can be characterized by predominant polarity (PP), which has important implications for relapse prevention. Recently, Popovic et al. (EUR NEUROPSYCHOPHARM 22(5): 339¿346, 2012) proposed the Polarity Index (PI) as a helpful tool in the maintenance treatment of BD. As a numeric expression, it reflects the efficacy of drugs used in treatment of BD. In the present retrospective study, we aimed to validate this Index in a large and well characterized German bipolar sample.
Methods: We investigated 336 bipolar patients (BP) according to their PP and calculated the PI for each patient in order to prove if maintenance treatment differs according to their PP. Furthermore, we analysed whether PP is associated with demographic and clinical characteristics of BP.
Results: In our sample, 63.9% of patients fulfilled criteria of PP: 169 patients were classified as depressive predominant polarity (DPP), 46 patients as manic predominant polarity (MPP). The two groups differed significantly in their drug regime: Patients with DPP were more often medicated with lamotrigine and antidepressants, patients with MPP were more often treated with lithium, valproate, carbamazepine and first generation antipsychotics. However, patients with DPP and MPP did not differ significantly with respect to the PI, although they received evidence-based and guideline-driven treatment.
Conclusion: The reason for this negative finding might well be that for several drugs, which were used frequently, no PI value is available. Nevertheless we suggest PP as an important concept in the planning of BD maintenance treatment.
Background: In this study, we examined patients who had non-progressive disease for at least 2 years after diagnosis of inoperable locoregional recurrent or metastatic breast cancer under continuous trastuzumab treatment. Our primary goal was to assess the long-term outcome of patients with durable response to trastuzumab.
Methods: 268 patients with HER2-positive inoperable locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer and non-progressive disease for at least 2 years under trastuzumab treatment were documented retrospectively or prospectively in the HER-OS registry, an online documentation tool, between December 2006 and September 2010 by 71 German oncology centers. The study end point was time to tumor progression.
Results: Overall, 47.1% of patients (95% confidence interval (CI): 39.9–54.1%) remained in remission for more than 5 years, while the median time to progression was 4.5 years (95% CI: 4.0–6.6 years). Lower age (<50 years) and good performance status (ECOG 0) at time of trastuzumab treatment initiation as well as complete remission after initial trastuzumab treatment were associated with longer time to progression. Interruption of trastuzumab therapy correlated with shorter time to progression.
Conclusions: HER2-positive patients, who initially respond to palliative treatment with trastuzumab, can achieve a long-term tumor remission of several years.
Zur Flora von Deutschland gehören sieben Arten der Wintergrüngewächse, die alle auch in Sachsen-Anhalt heimisch sind: Dolden-Winterlieb (Chimaphila umbellata [L.] BARTON), Einblütiges Wintergrün (Moneses uniflora [L.] A. GRAY), Birngrün (Orthilia secunda [L.] HOUSE), Grünblütiges Wintergrün (Pyrola chlorantha SW.), Mittleres Wintergrün (Pyrola media SW.), Kleines Wintergrün (Pyrola minor L.) und Rundblättriges Wintergrün (Pyrola rotundifolia L.). Im Mittelpunkt dieses Beitrages steht nur die aktuelle Verbreitung im Bundesland mit Bezug auf MTB-Q4, und zwar bezogen auf zwei Perioden von jeweils 10 Jahren: Nachweise im MTB-Q4 von 2005 bis 2014, sowie Nachweise im MTB-Q4 von 1995 bis 2004.
Die Mauerkronen der Nicolai-Kirche in Zerbst wurden im Jahr 2001 mit unterschiedlichen Methoden begrünt. Das Ziel dieser Maßnahmen war die Pufferung extremer Temperaturunterschiede, die häufig zu starken Schäden am Mauerwerk führen. In Vorbereitung von anstehenden Sanierungsmaßnahmen wurde der Artenbestand auf repräsentativen Abschnitten der Mauern erfasst. Auf diese Weise konnte ermittelt werden, welche Arten mit den extremen Standortbedingungen, wie Hitze, Trockenheit und große Temperaturunterschiede gut zurechtkommen und daher bei der Sanierung an Fehlstellen erfolgversprechend angesiedelt werden können.
Das Vorkommen von Bunias orientalis (Orientalische Zackenschote) konzentriert sich auf den Südwesten Sachsen-Anhalts. Bisher ist die Art vorrangig aus dem Straßenbegleitgrün bekannt, doch zunehmend kann das Einwandern in Halbtrockenrasen und Frischwiesen beobachtet werden. Ein Beispiel dafür ist die 2011 eingerichtete und ca. 24 ha große Ganzjahresstandweide bei Hainrode. 2013 konnten hier 58 Fundpunkte mit 644 Sprossen dokumentiert werden. Die Art wird von den weidenden Salers angenommen und verbissen. Das Abfressen führt zu geringeren Wuchshöhen und vermutlich ist die Reproduktion über Samen auch bei Neuaustrieb deutlich herabgesetzt. Es wird die Möglichkeit, mittels Beweidung der Südharzer Frischwiesen die weitere Ausbreitung von Bunias orientalis zu verhindern bzw. die Art über eine Beweidung zurückzudrängen, diskutiert.
