Sowohl international als auch national ist erkennbar, dass Länder in Bereichen Wirtschaft, kommunikative und informative Technologien, Politik, Bildung und Gesellschaft in unterschiedlicher Art und Weise mit kulturellen bzw. interkulturellen Tendenzen konfrontiert sind. Diese Tatsachen reflektieren somit, dass Gesellschaften immer mehr mit interkulturellen Herausforderungen in Kontakt kommen. Interkulturelles Lernen, Interkulturalität und interkulturelle Kompetenz enthalten gleichfalls im gegenwärtigen und modernen Fremdsprachenunterricht eine bedeutende Rolle und ein wichtiges Aufgabenfeld.

Am stärksten vertreten sind in dieser Ausgabe die deutsch-türkische Interkulturalität und Intermedialität: Der erste Beitrag befasst sich mit der muslimischen Präsenz in Deutschland, wobei der Kern der Untersuchung ein muslimisch-deutsches Problem darstellt, welches ein Dauerbrenner in den öffentlich geführten (medialen) Debatten über Migrations- und Integrationspolitik in Deutschland ist. Der zweite Beitrag befasst sich mit den intertextuellen Bezügen, die Sabahattin Alis Roman Kürk Mantolu Madonna zu Leopold von Sacher-Masochs Novelle Venus im Pelz aufweist. Die autobiographische Erfassung der türkischen Schriftstellerinnen Halide Nusret Zorlutuna, Ismet Kür und Sevim Belli bildet das Thema des letzten Beitrags.
Im Bereich der deutschsprachigen Literatur werden eine Ode von Gottfried Herder einerseits und ein Gedicht von Christa Peikert-Flaspöhlers andererseits thematisiert.
Translationswissenschaftlich ist der Beitrag, der sich zum Ziel setzt, die vier verschiedenen türkischen Übersetzungen des phantastischen Kinderbuches "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" miteinander zu vergleichen.
Im Bereich der Erziehungswissenschaft haben wir uns mit einer bereits viel diskutierten Problematik unseres Fachbereichs zu befassen: Die Fehleranalyse bzw. Fehlerursachen der schriftlichen Aufgaben von türkischen Deutschlernenden in der Vorbereitungsklasse.
Im Rezensionsteil tragen Buchbesprechungen zur deutschsprachigen und zur Migrantenliteraturforschung einerseits und zur didaktischen und zur Sprachwissenschaft andererseits bei, wobei die Besprechung der Festschrift für Prof. Dr. Yılmaz Özbek besondere Beachtung finden wird.
Ein detailliert informierender Workshopsbericht über das laufende Forschungsprojekt "Deutsche und Türkische Stereotype im Vergleich", das im Rahmen des deutsch-türkischen Wissenschaftsjahres vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) gefördert wird, schließt die vorliegende Ausgabe ab.
O presente trabalho discute diferentes estratégias de retextualização no processo de tradução de um texto acadêmico, especialmente no caso de transposição de um gênero mais próximo à oralidade a outro, mais próximo da escrituralidade. A edição crítica em português que incorpora estas estratégias de retextualização é desenvolvida tomando como base não só a primeira edição do manual didático-científico Textlinguistik de Eugenio Coseriu, fixada em alemão por Albrecht a partir de gravações em áudio de aulas ministradas por Coseriu em 1977/78, como também as edições em italiano e espanhol. Neste trabalho, diferentes estratégias de verbalização que permitem o deslocamento do texto em direção à escrituralidade são ilustradas e fundamentadas teoricamente, segundo os pressupostos teóricos do modelo de Tradições Discursivas, de base coseriana, que entende a língua como um diassistema de textos e variedades linguísticas localizadas no contínuo de oralidade e escrituralidade.
In German, female and male first names are strictly segregated: there are two big inventories with the only purpose to separate women and men. Unisex names are extremely seldom. If they are chosen, they have to be followed by a sex-specific middle name (e.g. Kim Uwe, Kim Annette). If we look at the phonological components of first names, i.e. at their sounds, we can state that male and female names became more similar over the last decades. Whereas in the 1950's, typical first names such as Katharina and Rolf diverged considering their phonic inventory considerably, today, many girls are named Leah and Lara and many boys Noah and Luca. These names share nearly the same sounds, they consist of two syllables and are stressed on the first one. If we look behind the scenes, it becomes clear that the officially required onomastic separation of the two sexes is undermined. In this paper, I will present a socalled phonetic gender score for German first names for the first time (see also Schmidt-Jüngst in this volume). It allows for measuring a degree of femaleness and maleness of names. In a second step, it will be asked whether unofficial names such as pet names, which are not obliged to mark sex also tend to be gendered or if they disobey the gender barrier. It will be shown that the most intimate names are not interested in stressing the denoted person's sex. In contrast to first names, pet names tend to be maximally de-gendered.
U radu se donose rezultati deskriptivnog terminološkog opisa istraživanja provedenog na jednojezičnom korpusu predmetnog područja znanosti o kršu. Semaziološki orijentiranim pristupom provodi se distribucijska analiza terminoloških jedinica i njihovih supojavnica u diskursu. Oslanjajući se na leksičko-gramatički model, kreiraju se pojmovne klase na temelju dvojnosti sintagmatskih i paradigmatskih relacija. U opisu sintagmatskih jedinica posebna se pozornost posvećuje ulozi pridjevskih riječi kao kvalifikatora, ali i nositelja specijaliziranog značenja. Aktivna uloga pridjeva prikazuje se metodom parafraziranja značenja s obzirom na klase pojmova koje pridjev determinira. Analiza pridjeva u terminološkim sintagmama upućuje na višedimenzionalno dinamično strukturiranje pojmovnih struktura specijaliziranog područja znanja.

Die vorliegende Ausgabe bietet ganz interessante Beiträge aus verschiedenen Fachbereichen der Germanistik. Diese Beiträ ge beziehen sich auf folgende Themenbereiche: Thomas Bernhards schwarzes Humor, Else Lasker - Schülers Briefe und Alfred Döblins Montagetechnik und terminologische Entwicklung des Deutschen im Bereich der ästhetisch - plastischen Chirurgie. Der Fachbereich "Erziehungswissenschaft" wird von drei BeiträgerInnen vertreten: Es geht hier einerseits um Untersuchung der Selbsteinschӓtzungen der angehenden türkischen Deutschlehrer in Bezug auf die Schreibkompetenz und andererseits um interkulturelle Kompetenz und deren Vermittlung im DaF - Bereich. Der Beitrag über "Sprachlogik, Sprachgefühl und Sprachkompetenz" scheint im Hinblick auf Vermittlung der sprachlichen Fӓhigkeiten weitere Diskussionen zu provozieren, indem er neue Impulse für türkische Sprachkomparatisten setzt. Das Defizit an interkulturellen Beitrӓgen in dieser vorliegenden Ausgabe wird einigermassen kompensiert durch drei Rezensionen vorerst zu Rauf Ceylans Buch "Türkensiedlung" , dann zu einem Sammelband mit neuen Forschungsbeiträ gen zum Werk Feridun Zaimoglus und zuletzt zu einigen Literaturübersetzungen in der Türkei. Die Ausgabe 2015/2 wird abgerundet mit Berichten über den X. Internationalen Kongress der Germanisten Rumäniens und den XIII. Kongress der Internationalen Vereinigung für Germanistik (IVG) "Germanistik zwischen Tradition und Innovation" in Shanghai. Die Germanistik hat dieses Jahr mit dem IVG Kongress in Shanghai einen ihrer Höhepunkte erlebt. Erfreulicherweise wurde auch die türkische Germanistik mit zahlreichen Mitgliedern des GERDERs vertreten. Darüber können Sie sich mittels der Kongressberichte in unserer Ausgabe ausführlich informieren.
Present conditions are affecting the educational process and as a result of these changes restructuring these processes is essential. There is no doubt that in teaching foreign languages in general and in particular German as a foreign language, one of the prerequisites to gain for providing a qualified German language teaching is the training of qualified and well equipped German teachers. In this context one of the substantial competences in the training process is the linguistic competence. It is aimed that at the end of their study period, German language teacher candidates should have the ability of using the German language in written and spoken area and creating models for their prospective students.
Despite the new technological developments writing has not lost its importance; on the contrary, ist importance has been increasing day by day. German teacher candidates should be trained to be able to express themself written as well as verbally to respond to their students' writing needs. For this reason students who graduated from the German Language Teaching Department of Hasan Ali Yücel Faculty of Education of Istanbul University in 2013-2014 academic year were asked to evaluate their writing competence.
The self assessments results of the candidate teachers are going to be compared with the results of the writing competence part of the Goethe Zertifikat C1 examination. The aim is to determine proficiency in the duration of 4 years. The results also constitute the scientific basis of curricular discussions in the field of writing courses of the German Language Teaching Department.
When becoming integrated into the German vocabulary, foreign words reflect paradigmatic changes regarding orthography, grammar as well as semantics. In this context, German orthography is also highly determined by orthographic codification, which continues to influence the development of spelling to the present day. This study compares digital linguistically annotated corpora containing texts written by professional as well as non-professional writers; these corpora contain several billion foreign words (of Greek, Latin and French origin, and in the second part of the study of English/American and Italian origin), studied over a period of 20 years following the German orthographic reform of 1996. The results may potentially help the official regulations to adapt to the spelling practices observed – either by describing the rules more precisely or by proposing possible spelling variants or eliminating those which are not in common use. The study may also help to support correct lexicographic codification in dictionaries.
The First World War brought devastating consequences for German linguistics. Formerly one of the most prestigious foreign languages taught at schools and universities outside Germany, after the war German disappeared from almost all curricula abroad. Furthermore, it proved impossible to establish a structuralist school (such as the Prague school) in Germany. The article suggests that this was neither due to the long tradition of the Jungian grammarians nor due to the Nazis' official condemnation of structuralism as being incompatible with the ideology of the state. It is shown that such a development should instead be attributed to the so-called "Krieg der Geister" ("war of the intellect"), which remained present even after the military peace (1918) amid a feeling of national insecurity. The article concludes that such a nationalistic social and political environment proved to be fertile ground for Whorfianism, and the influence of the so-called 'Sprachinhaltsforschung' prevailed towards structuralism.
The article describes the role of German as a working language and official language of the European Union. It also focuses on issues associated with the notion of an 'overarching' language of general use: especially in the field of law, each language reflects the specific legal and administrative traditions of the society in which it developed, meaning that different languages frequently lack precise one-to-one equivalents for particular legal concepts. Finally, the author assesses the 'economic value' of several European languages as proposed by Ulrich Ammons, demonstrating that German plays a leading role in this regard.
Flashmob, App, E-Bike, Gendermainstreaming, bloggen, skypen, gefaked/gefakt, geliked/gelikt, Coffee-to-go, Latte macchiato, Gnocchi, Yallah, Shisha oder Sushi – die beherrschenden Fremdwörter aus Wissenschaft und Alltag der Gegenwartssprache im 21. Jahrhundert sind englischen Ursprungs, im letzten Jahrzehnt auch zunehmend aus anderen modernen europäischen und außereuropäischen Sprachen entlehnt. Die Entlehnungsbedingungen dieser Wörter unterscheiden sich damit grundsätzlich von den Gegebenheiten, die für die Integrationsentwicklungen bei Gräzismen und Latinismen sowie für Gallizismen bestimmend waren. Während die Fremdwörter aus den drei bis ins 20. Jahrhundert hinein wesentlichen Gebersprachen über Jahrhunderte hinweg in mehreren Phasen schrittweise Eingang in die deutsche Sprache fanden und dabei durch einen kontinuierlichen, wenn auch nicht immer widerspruchsfreien Prozess orthografischer Normierung begleitet wurden, erfolgte die Übernahme einer Vielzahl von Anglizismen und anderer Neologismen erheblich schneller im Rahmen umfassender Internationalisierung und Globalisierung von Sprache und Gesellschaft. Die entlehnten Wörter bezeichnen zum allergrößten Teil neue Phänomene, Wortbedeutungen oder Sachverhalte, sie sind Indizien für fundamentale gesellschaftliche Veränderungen, die einen grundlegenden Sprach- und schließlich auch Schreibwandel zur Folge haben. Im Gegensatz zum Umfeld früherer Entlehnungen bieten normierende Texte wie Grammatiken oder Wörterbücher daher zunächst noch keine orthografische Orientierung. Stattdessen gewinnt das Internet, bestimmt von professionellen wie auch informellen Schreibern, sowohl als Bezugsquelle von Informationen als auch als Orientierungsrahmen für die Schreibung neuer Wörter eine immer stärkere Bedeutung. Anglizismen spielen dabei eine Sonderrolle: Sie werden sowohl von englischen als auch von deutschen Quelltexten aus rezipiert und zum Teil in ihrem gebersprachlichen graphemischen Status übernommen, zum Teil modifiziert.
The article starts by giving a brief survey of the current state of German-Czech and Czech-German lexicography in the field of learners' dictionaries. It then continues with a metalexicographic examination of two translational dictionaries published since 2000. Attention focuses on the ways in which each team of authors addresses some basic metalexicographic problems in the introductory texts. The article then explores the methods of description used for fixed lexical phrases, which are critically analyzed (using as an example the dictionary entry for the lemma Kopf (head).
Türkiye ile Almanya arasında siyasi, ekonomik, bilimsel, ticari, kültürel ve daha birçok alanda yoğun bir işbirliği söz konusudur. Ayrıca Almanya’da yaklaşık üç milyon Türkiye vatandaşı yaşamakta ve Türkiye'ye uzun yıllardır en fazla yabancı turist Almanya'dan gelmektedir. Bütün bu nedenlerden dolayı Almanca konuşabilmek Türkiye'de farklı sektörlerden birçok iş kolunda çalışanlarda aranan bir nitelik haline gelmiştir. Turizm bu sektörlerin başında gelmektedir. Turizm çalışanlarının ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda kurslarda, ilgili fakülte ve yüksekokullarda mesleki Almanca dersleri verilmektedir. Mesleki Almanca öğretimi için bilinen dil öğretim yöntemleri kullanılmakla birlikte, ilgili meslek kolunun gerektirdiği dilsel beceriler göz ününde bulundurularak farklı yöntem ve tekniklerden de yararlanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada turizm mesleki dili tanımlanıp, örneklerle açıklanmış ve yabancı dil öğretim yöntemlerinin özellikleri açıklanarak, turizm için mesleki Almanca bilgi ve becerilerini kazandırmadaki yeterliliği üzerine bir tartışma yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada herhangi bir örneklem grubu üzerinde deney veya gözlem yapılmaksızın, konuyla ilgili yapılan çalışmalar, öğretmen ve öğrenci görüşleri dikkate alınmıştır.
Mehrsprachigkeit wird heute in vielen Kontexten diskutiert und unter verschiedenen Aspekten erforscht. Vor allem im Zuge der gegenwärtigen Migrationsbewegungen und der steigenden privaten und professionellen Mobilität wird unsere Gesellschaft immer häufiger vor neue Aufgaben und Herausforderungen gestellt. Dem Fremdsprachenunterricht kommt in diesem Kontext eine große Bedeutung zu.
Nach einer kurzen Einführung in die grundlegenden bildungspolitischen Ziele zur Förderung individueller bzw. gesellschaftlicher Mehrsprachigkeit auf europäischer Ebene wird in diesem Beitrag der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit die neuen Erkenntnisse der Mehrsprachigkeitsforschung sich im Zweitsprachunterricht effizient einsetzen lassen und zur Förderung einer mehrsprachigen Kompetenz beitragen können.
The early acquisition of Greek compounds by two monolingual Greek girls aged between 1;8 and 3;0 years is studied in a usage-based theoretical framework. Special importance is attached to the morphological structure of Greek compound types occurring in child speech and child-directed speech. Greek nominal compound formation does not consist in the mere juxtaposition of words or roots, but involves stems as well as a compound marker. Major questions addressed are the transparency of compounds and productive nominal compound formation. Evidence for productivity of nominal compound formation has been found with only one of the two girls. In contrast to other languages, neoclassical nominal compounds by far exceed endocentric subordinative ones tokenwise in Greek child speech and child-directed speech providing evidence of entrenchment rather than productivity.
In a cross-linguistic comparison it is shown that, in spite of the fact that both Standard Modern Greek and German are rich in nominal compounds, their number is much more limited in Greek than in German child speech. An explanation for this apparent paradox is provided by an onomasiological approach to lexical typology based on a sample list of nominal compounds occurring in German child language and their Greek translational equivalents. It has been found that while use of nominal compounds is common in colloquial German including child-centered situations, it is more typical of Greek formal than colloquial registers.
Viele gegenwartssprachliche Grammatiken sprechen nicht mehr von starken Verben, sondern von unregelmäßigen. Diese Verben werden denn auch nicht mehr in Ablautreihen ("AR") oder, genauer, in Alternanzmuster eingeordnet, sondern alphabetisch aufgelistet. Types und Tokens kommen damit in Deckung, jedes Verb scheint ein eigener Type zu sein. Zumindest interessiert es nicht mehr, ob es hier übergreifende Muster gibt. Das hat gravierende Folgen: Die starken Verben werden als letzte erratische Brocken eines einstigen Gebirges begriffen, die ungeordnet in der Landschaft herumliegen und noch nicht von der Welle der (regelmäßigen) schwachen Verben erfasst wurden, dem aber entgegenblicken. Klassenstatus erlangen nur die schwachen Verben, allenfalls noch die Modalverben.

This article is a linguistic study of David Bellos’ indirect translation of Ismail Kadare’s The File on H (1997), a novel first published in 1980-1981 in the Albanian literary review Nëntori, and translated into English on the basis of Jusuf Vrioni’s French version, Le Dossier H (1989). Also called "double", "mediated" or "second-hand", indirect translation is an understudied phenomenon, often criticised by scholars because of its greater distance to the original. Cay Dollerup (2000: 23), for example, argues that the grammatical structure of the mediating language (ML) obscures the distinctions made in the source language (SL), and that possible "mistakes" in the ML may be repeated in the target language (TL). Do fidelity and loyalty to the author become weakened in Bellos’ indirect translation? To what extent is such weakening discernible linguistically? And does this particular case of indirect translation reveal notable patterns or recurring types of linguistic shifts between ST and TT? Showing that some of the features specific to Kadare’s Albanian writing are tempered in the doubly-translated English text, yet highlighting that similar shifts occur in the three language directions involved, this article demonstrates that changes between ST and TT may occur in indirect translation regardless of the strategies adopted by MT – thus challenging the hypothesis that linguistic shifts in indirect translation follow a single or consistent pattern.
Causative, which is analyzed in the context of voice, differs widely in Turkish and German languages. A causative can be obtained nearly from each verb in Turkish language while this category is not productive in German Language. Like prefixes, which are of great importance in German language, the causative has the same significance in Turkish language. Causatives can be divided into three: a) lexical causative, causative existing in words' own meaning; for instance, there exists such a relationship between the words "slide" and "fall"; b) morphological causative consists of morphemes (öl-dür-t-mek); c) whereas, the context is important for the operant causative. When we say “It smells gas in here’ it may have been intended to open a window and we can make it done. There is a direct connection between the causative and causality. Because, in causative instead of doing something directly, it may be caused to be done or occurred. The notion of causative in German has been reviewed in the semantic context at a low degree. This is because of the fact that, morphological causative verbs are fewer and new causative voices can't be formed. However, this issue has been handled in a very detailed manner especially at morphological level in Turkish language. There is even fine detail under the title causative itself. The most important characteristic of causative is to change the combination value of the verbs. However, the relation between causative and passive is just the opposite of this and asymmetric. Structures having semantic similarities with causatives and named as Funktionsverbgefüge (put into practice = apply) in German exist. Reciprocal voices and reflexive voices, the most important voices of Turkish language, generally allow the formation of causative verb.
Abnormitäten oder Analogien bei Übersetzungen deutscher und türkischer Nebensatzkonstruktionen
(2016)
Jede Sprache hat ihre eigene grammatikalische Struktur und dementsprechend unterscheidet sich auch der Aufbau der Sätze. Was in der Grammatik als ein Teilsatz bezeichnet wird, ist ein Nebensatz, welcher in jeder Sprache seine eigene Struktur besitzt. Diese strukturellen Merkmale, Unterschiede und Ähnlichkeiten im Deutschen und im Türkischen werden in dieser Arbeit dargestellt und miteinander verglichen. In dieser Arbeit werden die deutschen Nebensatzarten samt den dazugehörigen Beispielen dargestellt. Nach denselben Gesichtspunkten werden auch die jeweiligen türkischen Übersetzungen wiedergegeben. Diese Aufteilung soll als Mittel zum Zweck der übersichtlicheren Darlegung der Nebensätze und zur Erklärung der Übersetzungsmöglichkeiten dienen. Es ist klar, dass eine konkrete Übersetzung mehr oder weniger angleichend bzw. mehr oder weniger verfremdend erscheint, welche auf Varietät der Zielsprache zurückzuführen ist. Die Gegenüberstellung zwischen von Grund aus unterschiedlichen Sprachen scheint in erster Linie in Bezug auf den Wortschatz (z. B. kulturspezifische Begriffe) und Redeweisen getroffen worden zu sein. Sie ist jedoch auch für den grammatikalischen Bereich relevant. Nach diesem Exkurs werden einige deutsche Märchen mit ihren türkischen Übersetzungen verglichen und analysiert
Die multilinguale Gesellschaft ist längst schon keine bloße Utopie mehr, in vielen Teilen Europas und der Welt existiert sie bereits oder bildet sich immer stärker heraus. In unserer sechsten Ausgabe der REAL haben wir uns dieses Themas angenommen und es von unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln und germanistischen Perspektiven aus betrachtet.
O presente artigo advoga a necessidade de um trabalho voltado para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de autonomia que possam contribuir para a conscientização de estudantes de Alemão como Língua Estrangeira (ALE), em contexto universitário, sobre sua importância no processo de aprendizagem. Para tal, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa junto a estudantes de graduação em Letras, Português-Alemão, de uma Universidade no Rio de Janeiro, com vistas a se verificar a influência do uso de recursos metodológicos como consultoria individual e diário de aprendizagem sobre sua percepção acerca de aspectos relacionados a aprendizado autônomo e centralidade do aprendiz no processo de aprendizagem/aquisição de ALE. Assim, nesse trabalho, serão discutidos não somente os resultados dessa pesquisa, mas também serão apresentados os principais pressupostos teóricos que balizaram a análise dos dados.
The Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (MAIN) was designed in order to assess narrative skills in children who acquire one or more languages from birth or from early age. MAIN is suitable for children from 3 to 10 years and evaluates both comprehension and production of narratives. Its design allows for the assessment of several languages in the same child, as well as for different elicitation modes: Model Story, Retelling, and Telling. MAIN contains four parallel stories, each with a carefully designed six-picture sequence. The stories are controlled for cognitive and linguistic complexity, parallelism in macrostructure and microstructure, as well as for cultural appropriateness and robustness. The instrument has been developed on the basis of extensive piloting with more than 550 monolingual and bilingual children aged 3 to 10, for 15 different languages and language combinations. Even though MAIN has not been norm-referenced yet, its standardized procedures can be used for evaluation, intervention and research purposes. MAIN is currently available in the following languages: English, Afrikaans, Albanian, Basque, Bulgarian, Croatian, Cypriot Greek, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Icelandic, Italian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Standard Arabic, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Welsh.
The Shared Task on Source and Target Extraction from Political Speeches (STEPS) first ran in 2014 and is organized by the Interest Group on German Sentiment Analysis (IGGSA). This volume presents the proceedings of the workshop of the second iteration of the shared task. The workshop was held at KONVENS 2016 at Ruhr-University Bochum on September 22, 2016.
As in the first edition of the shared task the main focus of STEPS was on fine-grained sentiment analysis and offered a full task as well as two subtasks for the extraction Subjective Expressions and/or their respective Sources and Targets.
In order to make the task more accessible, the annotation schema was revised for this year’s edition and an adjudicated gold standard was used for the evaluation. In contrast to the pilot task, this iteration provided training data for the participants, opening the Shared Task for systems based on machine learning approaches.
The gold standard1 as well as the evaluation tool2 have been made publicly available to the research community via the STEPS’ website.
We would like to thank the GSCL for their financial support in annotating the 2014 test data, which were available as training data in this iteration. A special thanks also goes to Stephanie Köser for her support on preparing and carrying out the annotation of this year’s test data. Finally, we would like to thank all the participants for their contributions and discussions at the workshop.
NLP4CMC III : 3rd workshop on natural language processing for computer-mediated communication
(2016)
The present paper reports the first results of the compilation and annotation of a blog corpus for German. The main aim of the project is the representation of the blog discourse structure and relations between its elements (blog posts, comments) and participants (bloggers, commentators). The data included in the corpus were manually collected from the scientific blog portal SciLogs. The feature catalogue for the corpus annotation includes three types of information which is directly or indirectly provided in the blog or can be construed by means of statistical analysis or computational tools. At this point, only directly available information (e.g., title of the blog post, name of the blogger etc.) has been annotated. We believe, our blog corpus can be of interest for the general study of blog structure or related research questions as well as for the development of NLP methods and techniques (e.g. for authorship detection).
Embora a linguagem oral seja fundamental em nossas vidas, pois é por intermédio dela que expressamos nossos sentimentos, pensamentos, desejos, experiências e construímos conhecimento, pouco se fala sobre ela na educação infantil. Nesse sentido, amparados na teoria dos gêneros textuais, na perspectiva do interacionismo sociodiscursivo (ISD) (BRONCKART 2012; SCHNEUWLY/ DOLZ 2013), elaboramos uma sequência didática (SD) com base em dois contos de animais. Por meio dessa proposta intervencionista buscamos aprimorar a ordem do ensino e aprendizagem em um contexto escolar composto por crianças de faixa etária entre 03 e 04 anos de idade, os quais estão inseridos na rede particular de ensino. Para este artigo intentamos descrever e avaliar as configurações da SD elaborada, bem como analisar a presença de capacidades de linguagem. Além disso, apresentaremos resultados parciais das produções orais dos alunos. Ao analisarmos a SD, verificamos a predominância das capacidades de significação (15%) e das capacidades linguístico-discursivas (12,5%). Além disso, constatamos que a SD provê atividades para as produções orais das crianças, tendo em vista que os dois contos escolhidos e as atividades os envolvem emocionalmente, psicologicamente, bem como cognitivamente. Além de recontar a história, os alunos passaram a utilizar o vocabulário e até determinadas expressões em seu cotidiano
Este trabalho tem como objetivo refletir acerca do ensino da língua alemã em escolas públicas com foco na promoção do letramento crítico. Para tanto, partimos da definição de Letramento e de Letramento Crítico, articulando o último com as atividades desenvolvidas por graduandos em Letras-alemão no âmbito do Programa Institucional de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) - subprojeto Letras-alemão - em duas escolas estaduais do interior paulista. As reflexões apresentadas basearam-se nos planejamentos e nos diários reflexivos dos licenciandos e nas percepções da coordenadora do subprojeto. Os resultados apontam para o potencial do ensino de alemão em escolas públicas brasileiras, não apenas para a aprendizagem de um novo idioma, mas também para uma formação crítica e cidadã dos alunos.
This article analyzes the dynamics of fictional dialogue in three short stories by the Finnish author Rosa Liksom. These stories are constructed almost entirely of dialogue, with minimal involvement on the part of the narrator. We adopt two different approaches to dialogue. First, we analyze dialogue from a micro level, as interaction between the characters within the storyworlds, then from a more holistic perspective, paying attention to how dialogue contributes to the rhetorical structure and ethical interpretation of the stories. We show that resorting mainly to dialogue as a narrative mode works as a way of depicting tensions between Liksom’s characters, and between them and the surrounding fictional world. This, in turn, engages the reader in an interpretative process to understand the story’s logic both within the fictional worlds and on the level of communication between the implied author and the authorial audience.
Thomas Mann’s Der Tod in Venedig (1912) owes much of its fame in English to a translation from 1928 by Helen Tracy Lowe-Porter. The novella however has in fact been translated many times – first by Burke (1924, with a revised edition following in 1970), and, after Lowe-Porter, by Luke (1988), Koelb (1994), Appelbaum (1995), Neugroschel (1998), Chase (1999), Heim (2004), Doege (2007) and Hansen & Hansen (2012). Most of these versions are neither known to readers nor discussed in academic literature. This paper, which comes as part of a larger study on linguistic creativity in Der Tod in Venedig, focuses on the use of neologisms by Mann and what happens to them in (re)translation. Relying on a digital corpus composed of the complete set of English retranslations and a corpus-based methodology, the paper argues that, despite the extended time period between the publications and different translation conditions, neologisms are treated uniformly by the translators. Mann’s coinages are nearly always obliterated through normalisation and, if preserved, demonstrate less creativity overall than in the ST, raising questions about the Retranslation Hypothesis (RH) which proposes that early TT versions tend to domesticate while later ones increasingly foreignise.
C’est trop auch! the translation of contemporary French literature featuring urban youth slang
(2016)
The French post-colonial novel has recently been witnessing the emergence of urban youth language or français contemporain des cités (Goudaillier 2001). This linguistic variety allows underprivileged youths from multi-ethnic suburbs to rebel against authority by deliberately violating standard language norms. Its characteristics include frequent lexical input from immigrant languages, in particular Arabic and English, and the use of verlan at the morphological level, with the latter involving a form of back slang using syllabic inversion, which can be recurrently applied to heighten its coding function. In view of the social rejection of this ‘antilanguage’ (Halliday 1978), it has had difficulty penetrating into literature. However, this is now beginning to change, with urban youth discourse appearing in a number of novels, mostly by young ‘post-migration’ writers (Geiser 2008), such as Faïza Guène, Insa Sané and Rachid Djaïdani. While this language variety has mainly been dealt with by sociolinguists, some of the novels concerned are now crossing borders, and a multi-disciplinary approach to this phenomenon is now called for, combining linguistic, literary and translatological tools.
The transfer of this heterolingual genre does indeed raise a number of issues. For example, if we assume that translation is a cultural-political practice (Venuti 2008), what options do translators have to convey the resistant discourse of young immigrant slang users? How will the relationship between language use and social identity manifest itself in the target text? And how can a contrastive linguistic analysis of the features of urban youth language help to resolve translation problems? I will draw on a corpus of French and Dutch novels as well as some translations from French in an attempt to answer these questions.
This article approaches literary translation from a contact-linguistic perspective and views translation as a language contact situation in which the translator "moves" between the source and target language. The study touches upon the possible linguistic effects of the source text on the translated text and relates the translation-mediated cross-linguistic influence to other language-contact situations. The study investigates the use of Finnish passive in a corpus of literary texts consisting of Finnish translations from Estonian and German and comparable non-translated Finnish literary texts. The translated texts are compared with non-translated ones by using corpus-linguistic tools, and the results are related to a previous contact-linguistic study on the use of the Finnish passive in spoken interviews of Finnish migrants in Estonia. The main objective is to test methodological tools that could be used for this kind of comparative purposes.
In addition, the study approaches the question whether translation as a type of language contact affects the use of the Finnish passive in a similar way as an oral language contact situation. All in all, the study shows that there are some features that differentiate the investigated literary translations from non-translated Finnish texts but the evidence is not unambiguous. The article discusses the possible reasons for the mainly non-conclusive results of the analysis and points out factors that should be taken into account in future studies, such as the size of the sub-corpora and the possibly biased text or genre specific stylistic characteristics. The methodology clearly has to be adjusted and more in-depth methods developed in order to acquire a fuller picture of the Finnish passive in literary texts and to confirm what is author, translator, genre or source-language specific in the use of the Finnish passive.
Smith (1968) argues that poems may end with formal changes which produce an experience of closure in the reader. I argue that formal changes do not directly cause an experience of closure. Instead, changes in poetic form always demand increased processing effort from the reader, whether they involve new forms, shifts from more to less regular form, or from less to more regular form. I use relevance theory (Sperber and Wilson 1995) to argue that the increased processing effort encourages the reader to formulate rich and relevant thoughts, including the thought "this poem has closure". Closure is thus the content of a thought rather than a type of experience. I further argue that "closure" is a term whose meaning cannot be fully understood, which makes the thought "this poem has closure" into a schematic belief of the kind which Sperber shows has great richness and productivity. This is one of the reasons that the thought "this poem has closure" achieves sufficient relevance to justify the effort put into processing the end of the poem.
This article explores the uses and functions of dialogue in Frank McCourt’s memoir Angela’s Ashes. Taking conversational dialogue and fictional dialogue as points of comparison, the article argues that dialogue in autobiographical writing is essentially constructed, albeit not in the same way as fictional dialogue is. Dialogue as a means of dramatisation raises questions regarding factuality and fictionality. In McCourt’s memoir, dialogue is shown to serve numerous functions: characterisation and stereotyping; selfpositioning and indirect stance-marking; the creation of verisimilitude, humour and reader involvement.
The article deals with Finnish translations of varieties of spoken language in fiction from the late 19th century to the beginning of the 2000s. It presents the central findings of a comprehensive study on the changes and developments of translational norms in Finnish literature. The study is based on a corpus consisting of 200 literary works (the original and its translations are counted as one work), representing various genres: literary fiction, young-adult fiction, as well as genre fiction (romance and crime). During this 100-year period, the use of colloquial variants in translations has strongly increased, influenced by the changing literary and linguistic norms of original Finnish literature. The norms of different literary genres, however, vary, and rich, non-standard variation can be found in translated works from different periods.
Several translation scholars have recognised translation as a form of discourse mediation or discourse presentation (see, for example, Mossop 1998). In line with this, "universals" of translation have also been re-framed in the larger context of discourse mediation, as mediation universals rather than something strictly translationspecific (Ulrych 2009). In the present article, this line of enquiry is developed by comparing some of the alleged universals of translation, namely standardization and explicitation, with insights from literary and narratological studies on the nature of discourse presentation. The notion of reportive or interpretative interference (Sternberg 1982) and Fludernik’s (1993) claim that all represented discourse is typical and schematic in nature seem to bear curious resemblance to the notion of standardization or normalization, posited as a possible universal of translation (Mauranen & Kujamäki 2004). Drawing on the results of my earlier research (Kuusi 2011), I present examples of free indirect discourse (FID) used in Dostoevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment with their translations into Finnish. Analyzing the translations, I demonstrate how in
translations, the narratological and literary-theoretical notions of reportive interference and typification/schematization coincide with the translation-theoretical notions of explicitation and standardization.
The article addresses the question of who reports the dialogue in fictional texts featuring an unreliable narrator. Since no human being can remember and reproduce lengthy conversations accurately, some narrative theorists attribute direct speech representation to the author instead of the character narrator. This means that the speech of other characters may be reported reliably even if the narrator is totally unreliable. The narrator’s version of the events may then be contradicted by others, which allows the reader to perceive his biases. However, Kazuo Ishiguro’s An Artist of the Floating World illustrates the fact that direct speech reports, too, can be distorted by the narrator’s subjectivity, especially his emotions. In Ishiguro’s novel, the narrator’s grief and depression lead him to misremember and invent past conversations. Following Meir Sternberg, the article argues that the reliability of speech reporting in unreliable narration must be determined on a case-by-case basis. The text must signal that the narrator’s speech reporting is unreliable. In the absence of a signal, the reader is supposed to disregard any deviations from verbatim reproduction and to accept the transgression of the limits of human memory.
Metaphors we may not live by
(2016)
Metaphors We Live By created an immediate stir in 1980, and it continues to spur interest in cognitive linguistics, cognitive stylistics, and metaphor theory. This article uses both collocations and random samples of words used in conceptual metaphors to search for corpus evidence of the pervasiveness of conceptual metaphor that was unavailable to Lakoff and Johnson. Some metaphors, such as TIME IS MONEY, are pervasive in giant natural language corpora. Others, such as MORE IS UP, are frequent in clearly and consciously metaphorical forms, but relatively rare in the basic forms that would clearly show that we use metaphor to understand more abstract concepts in terms of concrete ones. Some, including ARGUMENT IS WAR, that Lakoff and Johnson discuss throughout their book, are poorly represented. Some gaps in evidence probably result from multiple ways of expressing a complex conceptual metaphors, but others suggest that intuitive plausibility is an insecure basis for argument.
This special issue is devoted to a cross-disciplinary investigation of a specific literary phenomenon, fictional dialogue. Fictional dialogue is used to refer to passages of character-character conversation within a literary text. More specifically, the articles of the issue deal with fictional dialogue as a narrative mode in prose fiction. The issue aims to engender an appreciation and a better understanding of the workings of dialogue by drawing on the insights and methods from both literary studies and linguistics. These methods include a rhetorical-ethical approach to narrative, cognitive and “natural” narratology, the study of everyday conversational storytelling, and Conversation Analysis (CA). Combining these methods helps us to understand that while dialogue is a central means to depict character-character relationships it also serves other levels of communication in a narrative and thus contributes to the reader's comprehension of the narrative design's rhetorical and ethical dimensions. The articles also suggest that while understanding dialogue depends partly on the reader’s experiences of real-life conversation, the interpretation of dialogue is determined by the overall design of a literary text and the historically changing conventions.
This special issue of the International Journal of Literary Linguistics offers seven state-of-the-art contributions on the current linguistic study of literary translation. Although the articles are based on similar data – literary source texts and their translations – they focus on diverse aspects of literary translation, study a range of linguistic phenomena and utilize different methodologies. In other words, it is an important goal of this special issue to illuminate the current diversity of possible approaches in the linguistic study of translated literary texts within the discipline of translation studies. At the same time, new theoretical and empirical insights are opened to the study of the linguistic phenomena chosen by the authors of the articles and their representation or use in literary texts and translations. The analyzed features range from neologisms to the category of passive and from spoken language features to the representation of speech and multilingualism in writing. Therefore, the articles in this issue are not only relevant for the study of literary translation or translation theory in general, but also for the disciplines of linguistics and literary studies – or most importantly, for the cross-disciplinary co-operation between these three fields of study.
The common theme that all these articles share is how the translation process shapes, transfers and changes the linguistic properties of literary texts as compared to their sources texts, other translations or non-translated literary texts in the same language and how this question can be approached in research. All articles provide new information about the forces that direct and affect translators’ textual choices and the previously formulated hypotheses about the functioning of such forces. The articles illustrate how translators may perform differently from authors and how translators’ and authors’ norms may diverge at different times and in different cultures. The question of how translation affects the linguistic properties of literary translations is approached from the viewpoint of previously proposed claims or hypotheses about translation. In the following, we will introduce these viewpoints for readers who are not familiar with the recent developments in translation studies. At the same time, we will shortly present the articles in this issue.
This article analyzes the representation of linguistic variation in the Finnish translations of four Swedish coming-of-age stories depicting migrant or minority perspectives: Mikael Niemi’s 2000 Popular Music from Vittula, Jonas Hassen Khemiri’s 2003 Ett öga rött, Marjaneh Bakhtiari’s 2005 Kalla det vad fan du vill, and Susanna Alakoski’s 2006 Svinalängorna. Through an analysis of speech and thought representation techniques and focalization, the article explores the role played by literature and translation in the materialization of dialects and sociolects as bounded entities. The paper argues that linguistic and social hybridity, on which the reception of minority and migrant literatures often focuses, is accompanied by the reification of new varieties conceived as authentic expressions of migrant and minority experience. Literature and translation are active agents in such processes, which are largely based on cultural, discursive, and cognitive constraints that condition the interpretation of each text.
Children’s interpretations of sentences containing focus particles do not seem adult-like until school age. This study investigates how German 4-year-old children comprehend sentences with the focus particle ‘nur’ (only) by using different tasks and controlling for the impact of general cognitive abilities on performance measures. Two sentence types with ‘only’ in either pre-subject or pre-object position were presented. Eye gaze data and verbal responses were collected via the visual world paradigm combined with a sentence-picture verification task. While the eye tracking data revealed an adult-like pattern of focus particle processing, the sentence-picture verification replicated previous findings of poor comprehension, especially for ‘only’ in pre-subject position. A second study focused on the impact of general cognitive abilities on the outcomes of the verification task. Working memory was related to children’s performance in both sentence types whereas inhibitory control was selectively related to the number of errors for sentences with ‘only’ in pre-subject position. These results suggest that children at the age of 4 years have the linguistic competence to correctly interpret sentences with focus particles, which–depending on specific task demands–may be masked by immature general cognitive abilities.
Der Band 'Standardvarietät des Deutschen' ist das Produkt einer gelungenen Parallelaktion: hervorgegangen aus zwei gleichzeitig geführten Seminaren an der Universität Regensburg und an der Karls-Universität Prag, versammelt er neun ausgewählte Aufsätze von Studierenden der Germanistik zum Problem der Standardvarietät des Deutschen aus soziolinguistischer Perspektive.
Auch Bücher aus dem Bereich der Sprachwissenschaft können faszinieren. Bei Uwe Hinrichs' "MultiKultiDeutsch" (2013) handelt es sich um ein solches Buch, das sowohl Experten, die sich aus beruflichen Gründen mit der deutschen Sprache beschäftigen als auch Leser, die sich aus bloßem Interesse dieser Lektüre widmen, von der ersten Seite an zum Weiterlesen einlädt.
Die Erforschung von Ausdrucksmitteln der Emotionalität ist bereits vor einigen Jahrzehnten ins Zentrum des Interesses der Linguistik gerückt, sie bietet aber weiterhin offene Forschungsfragen, insbesondere in Verbindung mit der jüdischen Emigration und der narrativen Gestaltung des Erlebten. Der im Jahre 2016 in Würzburg erschienene Band 'Emotionsausdruck und Erzählstrategien in narrativen Interviews. Analysen zu Gesprächsaufnahmen mit jüdischen Emigranten' leistet einen Beitrag zur Erforschung des Verhältnisses zwischen Sprache, Emotion und jüdischer Emigration bzw. Flucht in den 1930er Jahren von Mitteleuropa nach Palästina.

This paper focuses on passages of interpreting/translation in four novels written by Bosnian novelists (Ivo Andrić, Dževad Karahasan, Saša Stanišić). It seeks to answer the following questions: How do the characters of the interpreters/translators represent their cultural background? Does the immediate situation (e.g. a situation of threat or violence) influence their verbal behaviour? Is the literary description a metaphorical one in order to symbolize the inadequacy and even the failure of interpreting/translation? How do the interpreters/translators in the novels attempt to bridge the gap between different cultures?
Çeviri eyleminin yüzyıllarla ifade edilen ve Milattan önceki devirlere kadar uzanan tarihine karşın çeviri etkinliğinin öğretilebilir bir olgu olarak ele alınması, bilindiği üzere yeni bir konudur. Bu öğretme işinin eğitme biçimiyle ele alınıp üniversiter eğitim modelleri ile ele alınması ise, görece çok daha yeni bir görüngüdür. Türkiye'de de son birkaç on yıldır çeviri eğitimi veren akademik birimlerin varlığı ile konu tamamı ile akademik mecraya taşınmış ve tartışılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu tartışmalar ise, akademik çeviri eğitimi yoluyla oluşturulması ve/veya geliştirilmesi amaçlanan 'çeviri edinci' kavramı üzerinden yürütülmektedir. Çeviri edinci, akademik çeviri eğitimi açısından merkezi bir konu olarak değerlendirilebilir. Çünkü 'çeviri edinci'nin nasıl tanımlandığı, verilen eğitimin içeriğini ve usulünü belirleyebilecek denli temel bir sorgulamadır. Bu çalışmada 'çeviri edinci' kavramı tanımlanmaya çalışılacak, buradan hareketle akademik çeviri eğitiminin koşulları ve çevirmenin öznitelikleri içeriklendirilmeye çalışılacaktır.
Bu çalışmada öğrencilerin öğrenmiş oldukları dilbilgisel yapıyı nasıl işlevsel hale getireceği, pasif halde bulunan dilbilgisel yapının nasıl aktif hale getirileceği teorik ve deneysel bağlamda incelenmiştir. Tek tip pasif alıştırmaların yerine aktif alıştırma tiplerinden seçenek sunularak öğrencilerin bu bilgiyi, dört beceriye aktarımı mümkün kılınmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada dört beceri birbirinden soyutlanmış biçimde değil bütünleştirici şekilde ele alınmıştır.
Bu çalışmada deneysel yöntemin 'kontrol gruplu öntest ve sontest deney' deseni kullanılmıştır. Hem nitel hem de nicel boyutları içeren karma bir çalışmadır. Çalışmada eylemsel ve üretimsel yöntemlerin kullanıldığı deney grubundaki öntest ve sontest puanları arasındaki başarı farkının; geleneksel yöntemin uygulandığı kontrol grubundaki başarı farkından anlamlı derecede fazla olduğu görülmüştür (F(1,48)=366,149; p<0,001). Buradan hareketle deney grubundaki öğrencilerin daha fazla ilerleme gösterdiği ve başarılı oldukları sonucuna varılmıştır.
Dilbilgisi dersinin iletişimsel yetinin geliştirilmesi için bir araç olduğu görüşü deneysel ve uygulamalı olarak araştırılmıştır. Yaratıcı, eyleme ve öğrencilerin üretimine dayalı bir dilbilgisi dersi geliştirilerek geleneksel dilbilgisi dersine alternatif ders modelleri geliştirilmiştir.
Kadınlar ve erkekler yapısal farklılıkları dışında birçok açıdan ayrılıklar göstermektedir. Bu ayrılıklar sadece fiziki görünüşte, giyimde, hareketlerde değil, genel olarak davranış, uygulama, düşünme, alışkanlıklar ve dil gibi alanlarda da görülebilmektedir. Ayrıca kadın ve erkeğe sahip oldukları biyolojik cinsiyetleri haricinde toplumsal roller de yüklenmektedir. Bu roller de kadın ve erkek arasında mevcut olan farklılıkların toplumsal açıdan etkileşime girmesini sağlamaktadır. Toplumsal etkileşimler kadınlarla erkeklerin dillerinde de gözlemlenebilmektedir. Dil, bu durumda biyolojik cinsiyet ve toplumsal rol etkileşimlerinin bir arada bulunduğu bir öğedir. Aynı dili konuşmalarına, dilin aynı sözcükleri ve kurallarını kullanmalarına rağmen, kadınların dilleri ile erkeklerin dilleri arasında farklılıklar bulunmaktadır. Genel olarak deskriptif - analitik yöntemle ilerleyecek olan bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye'deki kadın dili araştırmalarına göz atmaktır. Çalışmanın kuramsal kısmında, Türkiye'de yapılmış olan kadın dili araştırmalarına değinilerek hangi durumda olduğunun gözden geçirilmesi düşünülmektedir. Dünyada kadın ve erkek dili ile ilgili çalışmalara 20. yüzyıl başlarında ağırlık verilmiştir. Bu çalışmalar sadece içeriksel değil, aynı zamanda sözlüksel, retorik ve sözdizimsel bağlamda da gerçekleştirilmiştir. Özellikle Almanya’da oldukça geniş bir araştırma alanı olan bu konunun, Türkiye'de bu kadar geniş çapta ele alınmadığı görülmektedir. Çalışmanın uygulama bölümünde medyadaki kadın dili ele alınacaktır. Bu kısımda medya metinleri değerlendirilerek söz konusu metinlerdeki kadın dili incelenecektir. Kadın dili değişkeninin görsel medyada hangi özellikleri ile ortaya çıktığı, ne şekilde gözlemlenebildiği gerek içeriksel, gerekse sözlüksel, retorik ve sözdizimsel bağlamda incelenecektir.
Almanca dilbilgisinde tümcenin temel öğeleri genellikle eylem temel alınarak yapılır. Türkçe dilbilgisi için bu durum sözde kalmaktadır. Çünkü öğeler genellikle eylemin birleşim değeri göz önünde bulundurulmadan, o anda tümcede rastlantısal olarak bulunan öğeler olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Dolayısıyla, nitel araştırma yöntemiyle internetten ve basılı dokümanlardan elde edilen verilerin yorumlanmasıyla oluşan bu makalede, birleşim değeri çerçevesinde değerlendirme yapılmış olup eylemin gerektirdiği öğeler buna göre ele alınmalıdır. Diğer bir sorun da, Almanca dilbilgisi bağlamında üzerinde genel anlamda uzlaşılan, ancak Türkçede tartışmalı olan nesne terimi ve kavramıdır. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada genel anlamda nesne kavramından yola çıkılarak sonilgeçli nesne kavramına gelinecektir. Amaç, Türkçe - Almanca nesne türlerini karşılaştırmak değil, Türk dili bağlamında “nesne”nin daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlamak için Almancadan da örnekler vermektir. Nesne teriminin Türkçede Akkusativobjekt ile sınırlı tutulmasının yanlış olduğu ve çıkma durumu nesnesi, bulunma durumu nesnesi, sonilgeçli nesne gibi terimlerin dilbilgisel bir gerçek olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu bağlamda Türkçede eyleyen (Aktant) olarak sonilgeçli nesne (Postpositionalobjekt) gerektiren eylemler olduğu saptanmıştır.
İkinci dil öğrenme yaşına ilişkin tartışmalar sürerken, birçok gelişmiş ülkede olduğu gibi ülkemizde de anaokulundan itibaren yabancı dil öğretimi gerçekleştirilmektedir. Yabancı dil öğreniminde, görsel-işitsel araç kullanarak dile ait konuşma seslerinin ve sözcüklerin doğru telaffuzunu duymak, doğru telaffuz edebilmek ve dilin ait olduğu kültürü tanımak çok önemlidir. Erken yaşta yabancı dil öğrenimine bu açıdan yaklaşıldığında dil öğreniminde yabancı bir dile ve kültüre ait çizgi filmlerin yeri, üzerinde durulması gereken bir konu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, okul öncesi dönem çocuklarının yabancı dil öğreniminde çizgi filmlerin yeri incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda, yabancı dil öğrenme yaşı, yabancı dil öğretim yöntemleri kuramsal açıdan ele alınmış; çizgi filmlerin yabancı dil öğrenimindeki yeri üzerinde durularak, ne tür çizgi filmlerin erken yaşta yabancı dil öğreniminde daha etkin ve yararlı olduğu ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.
In 2015, the last work of Günter Grass appeared: Vonne Endlichkait (On Finiteness). This offers the opportunity to recall the highly personal style of this great German author. The whole book can be described as an artistic triad, consisting of short prose pieces, poems and drawings, most of them dealing with old age and death. The following linguistic and literary aspects are dealt with: genres and text types, the semiotic relations between prose, poetry and drawings, allusions to poets and philosophers, the representation of spoken and dialect German, syntactic constructions, semantics, and especially metaphorical processes. Finally, the article discusses some stylistic features which are typical of Grass's writing.
Some students evidently find it difficult to paraphrase the content of a text (particularly a specialist or professional text) after reading it. This inability may have a negative impact on their performance when writing Bachelor theses or when studying in general. This paper therefore addresses the question of how to help students of German develop the important competency of paraphrasing and summarizing the content of texts. The starting point was a small-scale research project conducted among students at the Department of German Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Ostrava; the results of the research were analyzed to identify the main problems encountered by students when carrying out these tasks. This analysis forms the basis for an overview of strategies and methods which can be practised by students when paraphrasing and summarizing the content of texts. The article systematizes the key processes and operations for paraphrasing and summarizing with reference to the theoretical literature. The article seeks to contribute to the discussion of a broad range of methods that can be used to help improve the quality of foreign language studies and the study of specialist and professional language
The papers here were selected from presentations made at the 24th Annual Conference of the Linguistic Association of Nigeria (LAN) which held at Bayero University Kano.

Im Zentrum von Jacques Derridas Aufsatz zu der Frage, was eine relevante Übersetzung sei, steht ein Zitat aus Shakespeares Kaufmann von Venedig. Was geschehen muss, wenn der Schuldner, der sein eigenes Fleisch als Pfand der Schuld angegeben hat, die Schuld nicht begleichen kann, das zeigt Shakespeares Drama mit einer überraschenden Wende.
Die richtige Verwendung des Konjunktivs bereitet vielen Deutschlernern/innen Schwierigkeiten. Um diese Schwierigkeiten nachvollziehen zu können, ist es wichtig, die Besonderheiten des deutschen Konjunktivs zu kennen. Darum wird in diesem Aufsatz zuerst der Modus Konjunktiv von den anderen beiden Modi des Deutschen, dem Indikativ und dem Imperativ, abgegrenzt, und herausgestellt, worin sich die Modi des Deutschen unterscheiden. Anschließend werden Besonderheiten des Konjunktivs als einem Mittel der Modalität dargestellt. Sodann wird im Einzelnen dargestellt, welche Funktionen Konjunktiv I und II übernehmen können. Der Aufsatz schließt mit einer Diskussion über das Unterrichten des Konjunktivs im DaF-Unterricht.
The present study aims to investigate how foreign language learners at the German for Academic Purposes (GAP) program at a Brazilian federal university interact in their mother tongue about their motivations to learn a foreign language as well as their motivations to participate in study abroad programs. Data were collected using focus group methodology with three focus groups of six students each (A1, A2 and B1 levels). We chose to analyze the A1 group. We conducted metaphor-led discourse analysis of the data in order to examine metaphors and metonymies, which emerged in the focus group interactions. We were able to identify the presence of systematic metaphors such as learning is hard work and learning is jumping hurdles, intertwined with conceptual metaphors such as education is a journey and difficulties are weights, which point at the motivation for learning verbalized by Brazilian foreign language learners who took part in the study.
Im Rahmen dieser Studie wurden jeweils ein türkischer und deutscher Gebrauchs-und Informationstext und einige Sätze von literarischen Texten mit Hilfe der Online-Übersetzungsprogramme "google translate", "Babylon", "Almanca Sözlük" und "İngilizceturkce.gen" übersetzt und überprüft, ob, wenn man die Texte in der Zielsprache mit den Ausgangstexten vergleicht, syntaktische und semantische Fehler aufträten und welche der Online-Übersetzungsprogramme beim Übersetzen zuverlässig sind.
Die Daten haben dargelegt, das bei der Sprachkombination Deutsch-Türkisch/Türkisch-Deutsch Gebrauchstexte und Informationstexte, auch wenn sie einige syntaktische und semantische Fehler beinhalten, im Ganzen und Großen in die Zielsprache richtig transferiert werden, wobei literarische Texte einen höheren Anteil an Fehlern beinhalten. Laut der Untersuchungsergebnisse sollten die übersetzten Texte zur Sicherheit immer von jemand Fachkundigem gelesen werden, da beim Übersetzen von ganzen Sätzen bzw. Textpassagen aus der türkischen Sprache ins Deutsche und umgekehrt aus der deutschen Sprache ins Türkische der Sinn nicht immer erfasst wird.
Zur Kontrolle könnten außerdem noch übersetzte Passagen mit verschiedenen Programmen stückweise mehrmals oder in eine Drittsprache z. B. ins Englische übersetzt werden. Bei feststehenden Aussagen bzw. Ausdrücken hingegen ist ein hohes Maß an Aufmerksamkeit erforderlich.
Der Faktor 'Sommerferien' beim Übergang von der
Vorbereitungsklasse in die Deutschlehrerausbildung
(2016)
Die Eingangssprachkenntnisse der Studierenden des Studiengangs 'Lehramt für Deutsch als Fremdsprache' an der Universität Trakya unterscheiden sich bei der Aufnahme des Fachstudiums von den Ergebnissen der Sprachstandprüfung, die am Ende der einjährigen Vorbereitungsklasse durchgeführt wird. Dieser Ausgangspunkt scheint auch für Abteilungen anderer Universitäten der Fall zu sein, die sich im gleichen Umfang befinden. Diesbezüglich ist es Ziel dieses Beitrags, den Faktor 'Sommerferien' bei diesem Übergang deskriptiv aufzudecken. Die Fragestellung, wie die Lernenden ihre Sommerferien bezüglich des Deutschlernens verbracht haben, war dabei entscheidend. Um eine Antwort darauf zu bekommen, wurden Lernende zu dem Faktor 'Sommerferien' mittels qualitativer Erhebungsmethode befragt. Die Resultate wurden mit Lernstrategien angeknüpft. Aus der Forschung resultierten zwei Ansätze: Erstens sollten einige Konzepte entwickelt werden, damit die Lernenden ihre Deutschkenntnisse während ihrer Sommerferien kontinuierlich weiterentwickeln. Zweitens sollten einige Maßnahmen getroffen werden, womit DaF_Lernende ihre gelernten Deutschkenntnisse wenigstens stabil halten können.
Bu çalışmada Türkiye'de ilköğretim kurumlarından itibaren en az bir yabancı dil öğretilmesine rağmen neden Ölçme Seçme ve Yerleştirme Merkezi (ÖSYM) tarafından hazırlanan, uygulanan ve değerlendirilen sınavlarda birçok kişinin istenilen başarıya ulaşamadığı, özellikle dört yıl yabancı dilde eğitim alan Almanca öğretmenlik lisans mezunu öğretmen adaylarının Öğretmenlik Alan Bilgisi Testinden neden istedikleri sonuçları elde edemedikleri araştırılmış, sınavlara girenlerin sınav sorularını ne ölçüde doğru cevaplandırdıkları veya sorulara cevap verirken neden hata yaptıkları sorularına cevap aranmıştır. Araştırmaya ilişkin veriler rastgele seçilen ÖSYM'nin hazırlamış olduğu sınavlardan alınan örnek sorulardan oluşturulan bir örnek sınavın Trakya Üniversitesi lisans öğrencilerine uygulanması suretiyle toplanmış, okuduğunu anlama, çeviri gibi birçok soru tipinde iyi sonuçlar elde edilmesi ancak dilbilgisine ilişkin soruların çok azının doğru cevaplandırılması sonucunda araştırma cevap şıkları arasında en az bir adet bağlaç bulunan sorular ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Bağlaçlar üzerine yapılan inceleme, ÖSYM tarafından hazırlanan ve uygulanan sınavlarda günlük yaşamda sık kullanılan bağlaçların yanı sıra çok nadir kullanılan bağlaçlara da yer verildiğini ve sorulara doğru cevap verebilmek için lisans süresince kullanılan dilbilgisi kitaplarındaki konuları tekrar etmenin yeterli olmayacağı, merkezi sınavlarda yer alan soruları doğru cevaplandırabilmek için özellikle şıklarda yer alan uygun bir kelime ile tamamlanması gereken cümlelerin anlamlarının çok iyi anlaşılması ve bunun için de çok geniş bir kelime hazinesine sahip olunması ve öte yandan bağlaçların üstlenebilecekleri tüm işlevlerini ve anlamsal ve sözdizimsel özelliklerini bilmek gerektiğini ortaya koymuştur. Ancak Almanca Öğretmenliği lisans eğitimi süresince kullanılan dilbilgisi kitapları incelendiğinde, bunlarda her bir bağlaca yer verilmediği gibi bağlaçların sunuluş biçiminde de farklılıkların olduğu ve her kaynakta bağlaçların her bir anlamsal ve sözdizimsel özelliğine yer verilmediği, bu nedenle Almanca öğretmen adaylarının sınavlarda başarılı olmak için lisans süresince aldıkları eğitimin yanı sıra mutlaka daha başka kaynaklardan da aydalanarak bireysel olarak ek çalışmalar yapmaları gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
Ich spreche im Folgenden über ein Thema, das 'Hermeneutik nach Luther' heißen soll. Als Hermeneutik verstehe ich dabei im Anschluss an Friedrich Schleiermacher - also im Anschluss an einen protestantischen Theologen, der seine eigene Hermeneutikkonzeption vorwiegend mit Bezug auf die Auslegung des Neuen Testamentes entwickelt hat, das heißt in einem dezidiert christlichen und zugleich mehrfachen, noch näher zu klärenden nach-Luther'schen Sinn - die "Kunst des Verstehens". Die Bestimmung verdeutlicht, dass das Verstehen nichts Selbstverständliches ist. Verstehen versteht sich nicht von selbst. Es muss selbst verstanden werden. Hermeneutik bezeichnet nach diesem Verständnis eine Aufgabe, und zwar, wie Schleiermacher zu betonen nicht müde wird, eine niemals abgeschlossene, immer weiter fortzusetzende Aufgabe.
Beim Gebrauch einer Fremdsprache durch Anfänger handelt es sich offensichtlich um "Spielarten interkultureller Kommunikation" (FÖLDES 2007: 614). Eine bezüglich der arabischen Auslandsgermanistik ergiebige Auseinandersetzung mit der Schreibfertigkeit gelingt erst, wenn interkulturelle und handlungsorientierte Aspekte zusammen und sprachkomparatistisch berücksichtigt werden. Davon ausgehend lässt sich dann erklären, inwieweit mögliche differente Verhaltens- und Handlungsmuster in der deutschen und der arabischen Sprach- bzw. Kulturgemeinschaft das Schreiben in der deutschen Sprache beeinflussen. Neben Faktoren im sprachsystematischen und lexikalisch-semantischen Bereich lässt sich dies im pragmatischen Bereich an zwei Parametern des kommunikativen Verhaltenstyps (Grad der Expressivität sowie der der Ritualisierung) untersuchen. Mögliche differente Verhaltens- bzw. Handlungsweisen werden hier anhand von arabischen Germanistikstudierenden geschriebener Aufsätze bzw. E-Mails diskutiert.
In diesem Beitrag geht es zunächst um den aktuellen Stand der Forschung über das Verhältnis von Sprache und Emotionen mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Untersuchungen zum Deutschen und Tschechischen. Anschließend werden einige Teilaspekte des Themas behandelt: die Unterscheidung zwischen emotionsausdrückender und emotionsbezeichnender Lexik, die Rolle der bildlichen Sprache sowie das Verhältnis vom Sprachübergreifenden und Einzelsprachlichen bei der Verbalisierung von Emotionen. Abschließend wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Konsequenzen die im Rahmen eines Projektes ermittelten Gemeinsamkeiten, Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede bei der Versprachlichung von Emotionen im Deutschen und Tschechischen für die Behandlung emotionsrelevanter Lexik im DaF-Unterricht bei tschechischen Muttersprachlern haben können.
Der wissenschaftliche Artikel ist eine Textsorte, die weltweit und zahlreich von der scientific community produziert und rezipiert wird. Doch obwohl es sich um eine international bekannte und häufig verwendete Textsorte handelt, zeichnen sich wissenschaftliche Artikel je nach Herkunft und Sprache durch zahlreiche Unterschiede aus. In diesem Beitrag folgt auf eine kurze Darstellung von Unterschieden deutscher und tschechischer wissenschaftlicher Artikel eine kontrastive Betrachtung der Fußnoten innerhalb dieser Texte. Interessant ist diesbezüglich nicht nur, welche unterschiedlichen Typen von Fußnoten in deutschen und tschechischen wissenschaftlichen Artikeln Verwendung finden, sondern auch, inwiefern die sprachlichen Merkmale der Fußnoten denen der Texte selbst entsprechen bzw. von ihnen abweichen.
Werbung stellt in einer von Globalisierung und Transkulturalität geprägten Welt ein Phänomen dar, das nicht nur omnipräsent ist und uns mit Glücksversprechen und Idealbildern in Plastik(-schein-)welten verführt, sondern zunehmend als populäre Form der Kunst gepriesen wird, deren Wirkung durch ausgefeilte Formen der Rhetorik sowie eine suggestive bzw. manipulative Bildersprache gekennzeichnet ist. Fach- und insbesondere Fremdsprachen bilden einen wesentlichen Bestandteil im sprachlichen und stilistischen Repertoire der Werbesprache. Der Beitrag gliedert sich denn auch in zwei Abschnitte: Im ersten Teil der Untersuchung wird das sprachliche und stilistische Repertoire (Fachsprachen, Jugendsprache, Dialekt, Fremdsprachen (Anglizismen) der Werbesprache dargestellt. Der zweite Teil der Untersuchung beinhaltet eine exemplarische Analyse von türkischen und deutschen bzw. deutschsprachigen Werbeanzeigen im Hinblick auf die Verwendung von Anglizismen.
Im Jahre 1864 haben die Türken angefangen, die deutsche Sprache in den Schulen zu erteilen, nach der Ausrufung der Republik Türkei in 1923 wurde Deutsch als Fremdsprache außerhalb von Ankara, Istanbul und Izmir auch in den Provinzstädten Kastamonu und Sivas als Fachunterricht eingeführt. In der Universität Istanbul wurde im Jahre 1933 durch Mitglieder des Lehrkörpers Einwanderer aus Deutschland die Abteilung für Deutsche Sprache und Literatur an der Philosophischen Fakultät eröffnet. Die vielfältigen Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und der Türkei sind von großer Bedeutung und haben Einfluss auf die Entwicklung des Deutschen als Fremdsprache in den Lehrplänen. Seit dem Studienjahr 2001-2002 nimmt das Deutsche als zweites Pflichtfach in den Gymnasien seinen Platz ein. Der Fernunterricht geht seit 1728 kontinuierlich weiter und die Bürger in den Entwicklungsländern profitieren von den Vorteilen des Fernunterrichts. in der Geschichte geht der Fernunterricht in der Türkei zurück bis 1927. In diesem Artikel werden die Möglichkeiten für das Lernen des Deutschen als Fremdsprache durch Fernunterricht erklärt.
In the present research a pronunciation training, which was implemented within the scope of the seminar "Reading skills II", is being discussed. Turkish students in their first year, studying German Language Teaching at Uludağ University participated in this research. After a theoretical grounding, the conception of the pronunciation training and how it was implemented in the seminar will be introduced. The aim of this study is to examine, how the detected phonetic problems of the students can be eliminated through a targeted pronunciation training and how it can be perceived by the students. Orientated on the Qualitative Evaluation by Kuckartz et al. (2007) the analysis has been carried out. Therefore a questionnaire and a group-interview have been applied. Considering the evaluated results, possible perspectives for the specific field of research and teaching practice have been presented.
Adjektivbildungen mit unterschiedlichen Suffixen sind im Deutschen häufig, aber der differenzierte Gebrauch entspricht gewollten Bedeutungsunterschieden. Diese Bildungen scheinen keiner durchgehenden Systematik entsprechen zu wollen, sondern gehorchen in ihrer möglichen Verwendung der Konvention, der herrschenden Übereinkunft über den Alltagssprachgebrauch. Diesen muss man jeweils am Einzelbeispiel erlernen. Das Eindringen in das Verständnis solcher Möglichkeiten verfeinert das Sprachgefühl in erheblichem Maß. Solches kann man auch in den Unterricht einbringen.
Das Ziel dieser Arbeit war es herauszufinden, welche Angstgefühle die DaF-Lernenden, die die deutsche Sprache innerhalb und außerhalb des deutschsprachigen Raums lernen, in Gesprächssituationen erleben. In diesem Zusammenhang wurden zwei verschiedene Probandengruppen ausgewählt und Online-Befragungen erstellt, um genauer zu untersuchen, ob es zwischen diesen Gruppen signifikante Unterschiede gibt. Die Ergebnisse, die aus der Datenauswertung erfolgen, sind für beide Lernergruppen verschieden. Nach den untersuchten Sprechtendenzen verhält sich die Gruppe aus der Türkei als eine meist affektiv eingestellte Gruppe, die beim Sprechen zurückhaltend handelt. Dagegen zeigt die Gruppe aus Deutschland tendenziell weniger Zurückhaltung gegenüber dem Sprechen in Bezug auf die emotionalen bzw. kognitionalen Einstellungen. In Bezug auf unterrichtsbezogene Sprechangst ist zu bemerken, dass die meisten Lernenden von beiden Gruppen häufig die gleiche Meinung vertreten.
Although students make a great effort to learn a foreign language, it is an undeniable fact that they have some difficulties of understanding during communication. One of the prominent reasons of this situation is their having lack of vocabulary rather than grammar knowledge. This situation also effects the motivation of students in the process of learning negatively. Especially, words that have morphological similarities, but semantically different ones cause a problem in the process of learning, which can not be overcome without getting help professionally. The morphological similarities of the words lead students fail to understand different meanings of these kinds of words. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to investigate the words which cause difficulties because of the morphological similarities for the students to learn. As the study handles the subject in this concrete perspective, it contributes to the teachers having problems in teaching aforementioned difficult words.
Literatur- und Fremdsprachendidaktik : zur Rolle des Theaters im Deutschunterricht in Burkina Faso
(2017)
Die Verwendung der Belletristik im Fremdsprachenunterricht trägt dazu bei, sprachliche und kulturelle Kompetenzen zu erwerben. Da die Sprechfertigkeit eine der sechs Grundkompetenzen im DaF-Unterricht ist, ist ihr Erlernen eine grundlegende und unverzichtbare Aufgabe im Fach "Deutsch als Fremdsprache" in und außerhalb Deutschlands. Deshalb versucht dieser Aufsatz, die Potenziale des Theaters auszuloten, um diese Grundkompetenz bei den Deutschlernenden in Burkina Faso zu entwickeln. Es geht also darum, die Möglichkeiten des Theaters als literarische fiktionale Gattung beim Spracherwerb der burkinischen Deutschlernenden zu bestimmen. Darüber hinaus wird dargestellt, inwiefern ein Theaterstück in einer "classe de première" bzw. einer 11. Klasse Unterrichtsgegenstand sein sollte und literaturdidaktisch aufbereitet werden kann. Dafür werden Theorien und Methoden der Theaterdidaktik sowie der rezeptionsästhetischen Literaturdidaktik verwendet und an einem Beispiel illustriert.
Das Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, die Notwendigkeit der Aussprachevermittlung in der Deutschlehrerausbildung an brasilianischen Hochschulen zu unterstreichen. Der Beitrag präsentiert zuerst eine Diskussion über die Rolle der Aussprachvermittlung im Fremdsprachunterricht in den Zeiten nach dem Gemeinsamen Europäischen Referenzrahmen. Darüber hinaus wird der Begriff Akzent sowie dessen Einfluss bzw. Relevanz beim Erlernen einer Fremdsprache thematisiert. Anschließend werden einige Herangehensweisen vorgeschlagen, um die Phonetikarbeit an brasilianischen Hochschulen konsequent durchzuführen.
Die linguistic landscapes als alltägliches Phänomen vermitteln neben der unmittelbaren Konfrontation mit der gesellschaftlichen Wirklichkeit auch Einblicke in die spezifischen, kulturell vorstrukturierten Kommunikationssituationen, die auch für den Fremdsprachenunterricht interessante Impulse bieten können. Der Beitrag befasst sich mit den linguistic landscapes als wissenschaftlichem Paradigma in seinen verschiedenen Erscheinungsformen. Besonderes Augenmerk wird dabei auf das aktuelle Paradigma gelegt, das auch für das Forschungsfeld des Fremdsprachenlernens und -lehrens eine erweiterte empirische Basis schafft. Im Anschluss daran wird das sprachdidaktische Potential von Sprachlandschaften fokussiert, indem auf die sprachliche Vielfalt eingegangen wird, die in der Stadt Brünn überall im öffentlichen Raum feststellbar ist. Das Projekt "Linguistic landscapes von Brünn (Brno)" spiegelt nicht nur die Sprachkontakte und die Sprachenpolitik in diesem Raum wider, sondern macht auch die hier ablaufenden Kulturkontakte transparent und zeigt, wie der öffentliche Raum als Diskursplattform genutzt wird.
Zieht man ein Fazit aus den verschiedenen Aspekten der Disziplinen Fremdsprachenerwerb, Musikerziehung und Interkulturelle Erziehung, führt dies zu interdisziplinären Überlegungen darüber, inwieweit sich eine Kooperation miteinander für jeden der Bereiche als sinnvoll erweist bzw. erweisen kann. Musik und Sprache haben sehr viel gemeinsam - beide sind nach einem Regelsystem konstruiert d.h. Wörter und Klänge werden zu größeren funktionellen Einheiten wie Sätzen und Phrasen zusammengefügt. Diese Regelsysteme bestimmen jeweils auch die Beziehungen ihrer einzelnen Teile zum Ganzen und bestimmte Abhängigkeiten der sprachlichen und musikalischen Elemente voneinander. Sie werden vom Menschen durch unbewusste Lernprozesse erworben. Der Beitrag stellt die Ergebnisse einer Studie dar, die an der Pädagogischen Fakultät Hradec Králové durchgeführt wurde und die sich dem Thema Musik im Fremdsprachenunterricht widmet. Es wurden ausgewählte Deutschlehrwerke analysiert und anschließend eine Umfrage unter Fremdsprachenlehrern durchgeführt. Musik im Fremdsprachenunterricht (FSU) zu verwenden, hat ein großes Potenzial. Deshalb sollte sie ein fester Bestandteil in jeder Phase des Fremdsprachenerwerbens sein.
In diesem Beitrag wird korpusbasiert, qualitativ und aus kontrastiver Sicht anhand ausgewählter Einzelbeispiele untersucht, welchen Beitrag die Frame-Semantik bei der Analyse konzeptueller Metaphern im aktuellen Migrationsdiskurs in der deutschen und italienischen Presse leisten kann. Sie macht es möglich, unterschiedliche Perspektivierungen bei der Betrachtung des Phänomens herauszukristallisieren, da semantische Frames ein facettenreiches Angebot für den Blickwinkel der Betrachtung bereitstellen. Auch Metaphern selbst besitzen diese Eigenschaft der Perspektivierung, vor allem auch solche, die charakteristisch für einen kulturspezifischen Kontext stehen. Zu den Möglichkeiten, die der Einsatz von Metaphern bietet, zählt vor allem der "Highlighting und Hiding"-Effekt (LAKOFF/JOHNSON 1980), indem Metaphern bestimmte Aspekte betonen oder verdunkeln. Um welche es sich dabei im Einzelnen handelt, hängt von mehreren Faktoren ab, wie zum Beispiel der politischen Orientierung von Journalisten oder Politikern oder der wirtschaftlichen Lage eines Landes.
Die Studie "Beziehung überschreibt Geschlecht. Zum Genderindex von Ruf- und Kosenamen" betrifft zum Teil den Beziehungstyp der Liebesbeziehung. Sie fragt danach, ob und wie die Geschlechtszugehörigkeit in Kosenamen - Namen, die eine Beziehung kodieren und Nähe signalisieren - markiert wird. Mit einem Genderindex, der auf Basis der statistisch relevanten phonologischen Unterschiede zwischen den 100 häufigsten Frauen- und Männerrufnamen der deutschen Bevölkerung gebildet wurde, reanalysiert sie eine vorhandene Erhebung von Kosenamen und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass Kosenamen auf der Basis von Rufnamen deutlich weniger geschlechtsmarkiert sind als die zugrunde liegenden Rufnamen. Dies interpretiert sie vorrangig als Zeichen einer besonders persönlichen, individualisierenden und dabei auch genderabstraktiven Wahrnehmung der benannten Person.

Alternância dativa sob a perspectiva da gramática de construções : uma análise do verbo senden
(2017)
Este trabalho apresenta uma análise da alternância dativa do verbo senden da língua alemã. Os pressupostos teóricos da Gramática de Construções postulados por GOLDBERG (1995) no que concerne aos bitransitivos e suas paráfrases preposicionais e a abordagem da sensitividade ao núcleo verbal de RAPPAPORT HOVAV E LEVIN (2008) são comparados e utilizados como ferramenta de análise do corpus.Por meio deles, analisa-se se as construções constituídas pelo verbo senden e o sintagma preposicional an denotam um evento de posse causada ou de movimento causado. Apresentam-se preceitos abordados por Adler (2011) em seus estudos sobre a alternância dativa na língua alemã, que auxiliam na distinção do evento denotado pela construção. Assim, a pesquisa realizada corrobora as reflexões da autora sobre a nova faceta da preposição an que aparece em verbos de transferência - o addressee-an, sustentando sua argumentação sobre o fato de que não são as variantes do objeto duplo (dativo), ou do sintagma preposicional (no caso, an) as responsáveis pelo evento denotado pela construção, mas sim os argumentos que a constituem. Essa pesquisa também propõe outro tipo de classificação para a análise de verbos da língua alemã que denotam eventos de transferência em orações destituídas de agente volitivo: evento causal como transferência (GOLDBERG 1995), no qual X CAUSA Y (AFETADO)A RECEBER Z (EFEITO).

Türkiye'de çevirmen yetiştiren kurumların sayısının hızla artmasına karşın, çevirmen adaylarının uygulamaya ilişkin yetkinliklerini artırmayı hedefleyen, nitelikli eserlerin çok az olması düşündürücüdür. Bunda, çeviribilimin nispeten genç bir bilim alanı olmasının yanı sıra, yabancı dil edincine öncelik verilmesinin ve çevirmen adaylarının çeviri edinçlerini çeviri yaparak geliştirecekleri yanılgısı (bkz. Hagemann/ Hönig 2011) önemli bir etkendir. Oysaki çevirmen adayının, metinleri çeviri odaklı çözümleyebilme yetisine sahip olması çok önemlidir. Yücel'in de belirttiği gibi, "Bu beceriyi ve bilinci geliştirmek için öğrencilerin, metinlerin nitelik ve işlevlerini bilmenin ötesinde bir metnin nasıl farklı biçimde çevrilebileceği becerisini kazanmaları gerekmektedir".
It has been noted (Perkins, 2009; Zwaan, 1999; Zwaan & Radvansky, 1998) that causality, character, location, and time are the four main aspects of narrative discourse, even if not attended to by listeners or readers in equal ways. For example, character is highly ranked, and the locational/spatial components have often been underestimated for English narratives (see Perkins, 2009, for a review). Relative to the ranking, there is no inherent reason why character needs to be highly ranked, and locational/spatial information is in fact important in English narrative discourse (Perkins, 2009). I instead suggest that there are linguistic and cultural factors in the ranking of these aspects of discourse. Specifically, I suggest that causality is (probably) the highest ranked component, in languages that have a ranking, with the other three elements being linked to causality more or less strongly, depending on linguistic and cultural factors; it is possible that some languages do not rank narrative elements or that some elements are ranked as highly as others. In English, the strongest link is between causality and character. However, this is not universal.
In a survey of fifty-eight languages from thirty language families, including an in-depth study of Hobongan, an Austronesian language spoken by approximately two thousand people on the island of Borneo that I am in the process of describing, it is found that there is a great deal of cross-linguistic variation, to the extent that it is possible that each logically possible combination of narrative elements is present in the world’s languages.
In jüngerer Zeit finden in der Sprachwissenschaft nach einer langen Phase der Zurückhaltung kulturwissenschaftliche Orientierungen wieder vermehrt Aufmerksamkeit. Dabei bleiben allerdings zwei Bereiche nach wie vor im Hintergrund, deren Relevanz gleichwohl außer Frage steht: die Interkulturalität in der Linguistik und die kulturwissenschaftlich-interkulturelle Fremdsprachendidaktik. Hier bestehen weiterhin zahlreiche offene Forschungsfragen. Aus diesem Grunde widmet sich Band 11 der Aussiger Beiträge gerade solchen sprach- und kulturübergreifenden Fragestellungen. Mehrere der in diesem Band präsentierten Beiträge sind insbesondere auf fremdsprachendidaktische Fragestellungen ausgerichtet, die immer von den spezifischen Bedingungen des kulturellen und sprachlichen Umfeldes abhängen. Hieraus resultieren differenzierte und aktuelle Forschungsanliegen und praxisorientierte Anforderungsprofile, die so in die Reflexion eingebunden werden. Das vorliegende Heft will so Anstöße für weitere Untersuchungen im breiten Spannungsfeld interkultureller Fragestellungen geben.

Abrupt switches between different tenses (past-to-present, present-to-past) are known from oral narratives and medieval literature in Romance languages, but there is little consensus about their function and interpretation. In this study, we combine corpus-linguistic tools with experimental methods and quantitative analysis to shed light on the use of tense switches in a medieval Icelandic prose text (Hrafnkels saga freysgoða). Specifically, we part-of-speech tagged all words in Hrafnkels saga freysgoða and then determined where verbs exhibit tense switches. In a second step, we had 19 subjects mark all parts in the saga they consider climactic so as to study the overall as well as subject-specific correlations between climaxness and tense switches. In the vast majority of subjects, we observe the expected correlation, and for most of these it is significant. We discuss the findings with regard to their implications for tense switching as a performative device and the position of sagas on an orality-literacy continuum.
In order to achieve the goals of social commentary and moral judgement pursued in her novels, Jane Austen describes and evaluates different aspects of her characters’ personalities: social attitude, intellectual qualities and moral traits (Lodge 1966). Mansfield Park (1814) is one of her novels in which this moral awareness is most acute. In order to construct a community of shared values with her readers, Austen skilfully alternates different points of view as sources of evaluation. We propose an analysis of the first chapter of Mansfield Park that addresses this dialogic dimension by focusing on the resources of engagement, the subsystem of Appraisal Theory with which speakers/writers express their commitment to the truth of a proposition and their willingness to open the negotiation space to other voices (Martin & White 2005: 97).
The linguistic subtlety and complexity of Jane Austen’s writing is a challenge to translators, who must try to identify all the concurrent interpretation possibilities and reproduce them in the target language. In this article we compare the English source text with various translations into Spanish, Catalan and German. Our analysis focuses on the lexicogrammatical realisations of engagement such as verba dicendi, epistemic expressions, lexical choices with a distinct attitudinal load, and also on the development of narration – as far as that is possible in a study centering on the first chapter –, since it is often the case that narrator stance is modified as the text unfolds.
We discuss fragments of narrator discourse, direct speech and indirect/free indirect speech and consider the advantages of the framework to uncover changes in the evaluative dimension of meaning that affect the readings the translations will afford in their target society, from character building to the articulation of points of view.
