Redensarten sind für die Deutsch als Fremdsprache Studierenden im hohen Grad interpretationsbedürftig. Auch der Muttersprachler braucht für sie häufig eine nähere Erklärung, die im vorliegenden Fall formal (Redensart veraltet und wegen antisemitischer Sicht nicht verwendbar) und inhaltlich (Zusammenhänge, die kaum einer ahnt) sein muss. Redensarten können einen weitreichenden kulturellen Hintergrund haben und sie sind selbst, entsprechend analysiert, Quelle zur Sprach- und Kulturgeschichte. Die Redensart "... wie in der Judenschule" verrät uns zudem überraschenderweise etwas über die Frühform literarischer Entwicklung im Kulturprozess von der Mündlichkeit zur Schriftlichkeit.
"Great technology, football and ..." : Malaysian language learners' stereotypes about Germany
(2014)
This study focuses on stereotypes about Germany, its culture and people, held by learners of German in a big public university in Malaysia. It examines not only the stereotypical representations of the target language country but also assesses its favourability and salience, which has not been done previously. The findings revealed that the students' stereotypes about Germany were varied and diverse. Also, they were overwhelmingly positive. The top three salient categories of images about Germany were related to technology, famous personalities – for the most part football players and scientists – and cars. The findings also indicated that very few references had been made to German culture and to its great cultural figures. The results of the present study suggest that students could benefit from a wider and deeper exposure to German culture in the language classroom.
"Jelen přeplotil skok" : kontrastiver Vergleich von Wortspielen und idiomatischen Wortverbindungen
(2014)
The article presents some of the outcomes of the contrastive comparison of the Czech original text and its German translation. It tries to show some hidden implications as well as many other peculiarities of wordplay and idiomatic phrases that a reader of the translated text may be deprived of.
The unique situation in which job seekers and employers find themselves results in the necessity to formulate and accept refusal letters. Employers frequently express their emotions in such letters. They are, however, in the form of clichés which apparently do not contain any genuine emotions. The subject of this analysis is genuine German refusal letters collected in the years between 2000 and 2012. Our objective is to indicate the types of emotions verbalized in the analyzed text type and to present the linguistic means utilized to express those emotions.
Unter medizinischer Kommunikation werden verschiedene Kommunikationstypen zusammengefasst: Dazu gehören zum einen Gespräche von Medizinern mit Krankenkassen und Verwaltungen, zum anderen öffentliche Diskurse zu Gesundheit und Krankheit. Die linguistische Forschung hat sich zunächst mit der medizinischen Fachsprache, wie z. B. der Verständlichkeit von Beipackzetteln, beschäftigt. Seit den 1970er Jahren steht das Gespräch zwischen Arzt und Patient im Vordergrund (z. B. Brünner 2005). Gisela Brünner betritt mit ihrem umfassenden Buch Gesundheit durchs Fernsehen vor diesem Hintergrund Neuland. Es bietet einen innovativen Einblick in die Vermittlung medizinischer Informationen und gesundheitlichen Rats in Gesundheitssendungen. Brünners Untersuchungen zeigen, wie die Experten-Laien-Kommunikation abläuft und welche Strategien zur Erklärung und Veranschaulichung verwendet werden. Die Monographie kann somit an der Schnittstelle von Experten-Laien-Kommunikation und linguistischer Medienanalyse eingeordnet werden. ...
O objetivo principal deste artigo é apresentar uma visão geral dos resultados obtidos em uma pesquisa empírica envolvendo aprendizes adultos de alemão como língua estrangeira com conhecimentos prévios de inglês. O foco deste artigo recai sobre os processos envolvidos no ensino/aprendizagem de terceiras línguas, levando-se em consideração que a língua alemã é comumente aprendida como uma segunda língua estrangeira após o inglês. Os principais questionamentos da pesquisa estão baseados em processos de transferência positiva, bem como na interferência linguística observada em um grupo de 50 aprendizes de alemão dos níveis A1 a B1 do Quadro Europeu Comum de Referência para as Línguas. Ao que concerne a relação entre as línguas alemã e inglesa, a afirmação de que o inglês exerce um papel importante na aprendizagem de alemão pôde ser confirmada, sendo o parentesco etimológico entre as duas línguas um dos mais importantes fatores para se determinar a ocorrência de influência interlinguística. Por outro lado, a interferência linguística resultante da coexistência de ambas as línguas demanda o desenvolvimento de uma didática do plurilinguismo que compreenda métodos alternativos para o ensino/aprendizagem de alemão como segunda língua estrangeira no Brasil.
In the present paper, we concentrate on (selected) Bantu and Nilotic bare-passive strategies and lay out the basis for a typology of transitive passive constructions in these languages. We argue that bare-passives constitute an optimal strategy to change prominence relations between arguments, in languages that strongly hold to the default mapping between the highest thematic role available and the grammatical subject (i.e. Spec,TP). The Nilotic and Bantu languages discussed here differ in their way of satisfying this default mapping. In particular, impersonal bare-passives satisfy it by resorting to an agentive place-holder (an indefinite subject marker) and realizing the logical agent as a lower thematic/semantic role (e.g. instrument or locative). Left-dislocation and so called 'subjectobject' reversal bare-passives realize the default matching between agent and subject in a more straightforward way, but locate the patient in a higher argument position within the inflectional domain (Spec,TopP). As argued in Hamlaoui and Makasso (2013) and Hamlaoui (2013), and in line with Noonan (1977), the present languages display a clauseinternal split between subjecthood (being the grammatical subject in Spec,TP) and topicality (being the subject of the predication, in an inflectional-domain internal Spec,TopP).
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.
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.
This article deals with the topic of dyslexia in adults and its consequences for learning German during university studies; the author explores the extent to which an optimized German text influences understanding. The results of research on dyslexia and psycholinguistic research on text understanding show that depending on the text structure and the simplicity of the linguistic means used, different levels of text understanding may be expected. The main tool of the research is text optimization based on a practical application of the "Hamburg concept of understandability", involving four text properties which make the text understandable to different extents.

Pogled u radom ispunjen život Bratoljuba Klaića pokazuje širinu njegovih interesa i pobuđuje na misao o tom što bi hrvatsko jezikoslovlje moglo napraviti da je djelovalo u povoljnijim uvjetima. Svakako je književnost i kazalište izrazito privlačilo našeg proučavatelja, osobito hrvatska književnost, grčka i rimska, pa je prirodno njegovo sudjelovanje u ediciji Pet stoljeća hrvatske književnosti. Među hrvatskim piscima davnih stoljeća osobito su ga zanimali Hanibal Lucić, Petar Hektorović, Marin Držić i Ivan Gundulić, ali se je pozabavio i komedijom Ljubovnici, kao i novijim piscima Šenoom, Matošem, Ujevićem, Krležom, Kolarom i drugima. Znatnu je pozornost posvetio i folkloru tumačeći njegove jezične značajke. Na zanimljiv način bavio se je akcentom, osobito kad je riječ o akcentu starih pisaca hrvatskih i o naglasku u njihovim suvremenim izvedbama. Bratoljub Klaić bio je jedan od znanstvenika što su hrvatsku književnost tumačili kao prirodnu cjelinu pisaca raznih stoljeća, iz raznih predjela i različitih dijalekatnih osobina.
U radu se ukratko prikazuje Klaićev opis bizovačkoga govora i podjela donjopodravskih govora na dva međusobno ponešto različita tipa: valpovački akcenatski tip govora – okolica Bizovca do Donjega Miholjca – i šaptinovački akcenatski tip – od Donjega Miholjca prema Virovitici. Obilježja bizovačkoga govora uspoređuju se s govorom Podravskih Podgajaca.
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.
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).
Irene Heim in unpublished work proposed a new syntax-semantics interface for propositional attitude reports based on an ontology without transworld individuals, but counterpart functions instead. We show that the approach can capture the 'de re'/'de dicto' distinction, but makes different predictions from accounts with transworld individuals. Specifically, the account uses a non-invertible counterpart functions: a single individual in an alternative world can be the counterpart of many individuals of the real world. The directionality of counterpart functions predicts that a 'de dicto' interpreted DP cannot be an argument of a 'de re' interpreted predicate. We show that the predicted restriction is corroborated by existing work on restrictions on 'de re' interpretation. The derivation of constraints on 'de re' interpretation argues empirically for the counterpart ontology and Heim’s implementation thereof.
Das hethitische Phonem /xw/
(2014)
In the Hittite phonological system there was a labialized velar fricative /xw/ beside the plain velar fricative /x/ parallel to the opposition between the velar stops /kw/ and /k/. The frequent syllable /xwa/ was spelled either hu-(u) or hu-wa. Evidence from the frequency of words with initial hu in the lexicon, from spelling variations and from ablaut alternations is presented to demonstrate the existence of /xw/. It is suggested that Hittite /xw/ regularly corresponds to the reflexes of *w in the non-Anatolian Indo-European languages.
