U radu se analiziraju odrazi praslavenskoga jata u bačko-srijemskom rusinskom jeziku. Ako zanemarimo nekoliko primjera s odrazom a, odraz je jata u rusinskom jeziku dvojak - i i e, s otprilike podjednakom zastupljenošću. Poredbeno-povijesnom analizom može se ustvrditi da njihova distribucija ovisi o kvantiteti staroslovačkog e, u koji su se stopili praslavenski *e i *ě. Pojedine nepodudarnosti mogu se objasniti posuđivanjem iz srpskog ili ukrajinskog, odnosno rusinskom tendencijom generaliziranja produljenog samoglasnika iz oblika nominativa jednine.
The focus of this paper is the perspectivization of thematic roles generally and the recipient role specifically. Whereas perspective is defined here as the representation of something for someone from a given position (Sandig 1996: 37), perspectivization refers to the verbalization of a situation in the speech generation process (Storrer 1996: 233). In a prototypical act of giving, for example, the focus of perception (the attention of the external observer) may be on the person who gives (agent), the transferred object (patient) or the person who receives the transferred object (recipient). The languages of the world provide differing linguistic means to perspectivize such an act of giving, or better: to perspectivize the participants of such an action. In this article, the linguistic means of three selected continental West Germanic languages –German, Dutch and Luxembourgish– will be taken into consideration, with an emphasis on the perspectivization of the recipient role.
If we want to develop a semantic analysis for explicit performatives such as I promise you to free Willy, we are faced with the following puzzle: In order to account for the speech act expressed by the performative verb, one can assume that the so-called performative clause is purely performative and provides the illocutionary force of the speech act whose content is given by the semantic object denoted by the complement clause. Yet under this perspective, the performative clause that is, next to the performative verb, the indexicals I and you that refer to the speaker and to the addressee of the utterance context is semantically invisible and does not contribute compositionally its meaning to the meaning of the entire explicit performative sentence. Conversely, if we account for the truth conditional contribution of the performative clause and deny that the meaning of the performative verb is purely performative, then we have to find a way to account for the speech act expressed by the performative verb. Of course, there is already the widely accepted and very appealing indirectness account for explicit performative utterances developed by Bach & Harnish (1979). Roughly, Bach and Harnish solve this puzzle in deriving the performativity by means of a pragmatic inference process. According to them, the important speech act performed by means of the utterance of the explicit performative sentence is a kind of the conventionalized indirect speech act. However, the boundary between semantics and pragmatics can be drawn in many various ways. Therefore, I think there could be other perspectives regarding the interface between the truth-functional treatment of the declarative explicit performative sentences and the speech acts performed with their utterances and which are expressed by the performative verbs. Hence, this thesis consists in the experiment to develop a further analysis and to check out its consequences with respect to the semantics and pragmatics of explicit performative utterances and the new interface emerged. Briefly, the experiment runs as follows: First, I develop an analysis for explicit performative sentences framed by parenthetical structures such as in (1)(a). In a second step, this parenthetical analysis is applied to the proper Austinian explicit performative sentences in (1)(b). (1) a. Tomorrow, I promise you this, I will teach them Tyrolean songs. b. I promise you that I will teach them Tyrolean songs. To analyze at first explicit performatives framed by parenthetical structures bears the convenience that we are faced with two utterances of two main clauses. In (1)(a) there is the utterance of the host sentence Tomorrow I will teach them Tyrolean songs, and the utterance of the explicit parenthetical I promise you this, where the demonstrative this refers to the utterance of Tomorrow I will teach them Tyrolean songs. Since speakers perform speech acts with utterances of main clauses, I assume that the meaning of the explicit parenthetical I promise you this specifies that the actual illocutionary force of the utterance of Tomorrow I will teach them Tyrolean songs is the illocutionary force of a promise. Hence, instead of deriving an indirect illocutionary force by means of a pragmatic inference schema, we can deal with an ordinary direct speech act that is performed with the utterance of the host sentence. This kind of analysis stresses the particular discourse function of explicit performative utterances. Performative verbs are used whenever the contextual information is not sufficient to determine the illocutionary force of the corresponding implicit speech act. The resulting consequences of the parenthetical analysis are interesting since they cast a different light on performative verbs. Surprisingly, the performative verbs are not performative at all. They do not constitute the execution of a speech act, but are execution supporting. Instead of constituting the particular illocutionary force, they merely specify the illocutionary force of the utterance of the host sentence. For instance, the speaker utters the explicit parenthetical I promise you this for specifying what he is simultaneously doing. Hence the speaker does not succeed in performing the promise simply because he is uttering I promise you this. Rather, by means of the information conveyed by the utterance of I promise you this, the potential illocutionary forces of the utterance of the host sentence are disambiguated. Thus, it is not the case that explicit parentheticals are trivially true when uttered. Their function is more complex. Their self-verifying property (‘saying so makes it so’) is explained by means of disambiguation. Furthermore, according to the parenthetical analysis, instead of being purely performative, the performative verbs contribute compositionally their meanings to the truth conditions of the entire explicit performative sentence. Together with its consequences, this analysis is applied to the proper Austinian performatives, which display subordination. I assume that regardless of their structure, explicit performatives always semantically and pragmatically behave as the parenthetical analysis predicts.
Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt zunächst einen Überblick über die sprachwissenschaftlichen Zugänge zur Onomatopöie und den derzeitigen Forschungsstand. Danach wird dargestellt, dass Onomatopoetika insbesondere für den Sprachvergleich ein lohnendes, aber bislang noch unzureichend behandeltes Forschungsthema darstellen. Dabei zeigen sich zahlreiche Fragestellungen, die auch für die Sprachdidaktik relevant sind. Auf dieser Grundlage zeigt der Beitrag, wie und warum Onomatopoetika sprachdidaktisch nutzbringend thematisiert werden können.
The article aims to give an overview about the application of Optimality Theory (OT) to the domain of pragmatics. In the introductory part we discuss different ways to view the division of labor between semantics and pragmatics. Rejecting the doctrine of literal meaning we conform to (i) semantic underdetermination and (ii) contextualism (the idea that the mechanism of pragmatic interpretation is crucial both for determining what the speaker says and what he means). Taking the assumptions (i) and (ii) as essential requisites for a natural theory of pragmatic interpretation, section 2 introduces the three main views conforming to these assumptions: Relevance theory, Levinson’s theory of presumptive meanings, and the Neo-Gricean approach. In section 3 we explain the general paradigm of OT and the idea of bidirectional optimization. We show how the idea of optimal interpretation can be used to restructure the core ideas of these three different approaches. Further, we argue that bidirectional OT has the potential to account both for the synchronic and the diachronic perspective on pragmatic interpretation. Section 4 lists relevant examples of using the framework of bidirectional optimization in the domain of pragmatics. Section 5 provides some general conclusions. Modeling both for the synchronic and the diachronic perspective on pragmatics opens the way for a deeper understanding of the idea of naturalization and (cultural) embodiment in the context of natural language interpretation.
The main concern of this article is to discuss some recent findings concerning the psychological reality of optimality-theoretic pragmatics and its central part – bidirectional optimization. A present challenge is to close the gap between experimental pragmatics and neo-Gricean theories of pragmatics. I claim that OT pragmatics helps to overcome this gap, in particular in connection with the discussion of asymmetries between natural language comprehension and production. The theoretical debate will be concentrated on two different ways of interpreting bidirection: first, bidirectional optimization as a psychologically realistic online mechanism; second, bidirectional optimization as an offline phenomenon of fossilizing optimal form-meaning pairs. It will be argued that neither of these extreme views fits completely with the empirical data when taken per se.
In this paper, we outline the foundations of a theory of implicatures. It divides into two parts. The first part contains the base model. It introduces signalling games, optimal answer models, and a general definition of implicatures in terms of natural information. The second part contains a refinement in which we consider noisy communication with efficient clarification requests. Throughout, we assume a fully cooperative speaker who knows the information state of the hearer. The purpose of this paper is not the study of examples. Our concern is the framework for doing these studies.
Papers on pragmasemantics
(2009)
Optimality theory as used in linguistics (Prince & Smolensky, 1993/2004; Smolensky & Legendre, 2006) and cognitive psychology (Gigerenzer & Selten, 2001) is a theoretical framework that aims to integrate constraint based knowledge representation systems, generative grammar, cognitive skills, and aspects of neural network processing. In the last years considerable progress was made to overcome the artificial separation between the disciplines of linguistic on the one hand which are mainly concerned with the description of natural language competences and the psychological disciplines on the other hand which are interested in real language performance.
The semantics and pragmatics of natural language is a research topic that is asking for an integration of philosophical, linguistic, psycholinguistic aspects, including its neural underpinning. Especially recent work on experimental pragmatics (e.g. Noveck & Sperber, 2005; Garrett & Harnish, 2007) has shown that real progress in the area of pragmatics isn’t possible without using data from all available domains including data from language acquisition and actual language generation and comprehension performance. It is a conceivable research programme to use the optimality theoretic framework in order to realize the integration.
Game theoretic pragmatics is a relatively young development in pragmatics. The idea to view communication as a strategic interaction between speaker and hearer is not new. It is already present in Grice' (1975) classical paper on conversational implicatures. What game theory offers is a mathematical framework in which strategic interaction can be precisely described. It is a leading paradigm in economics as witnessed by a series of Nobel prizes in the field. It is also of growing importance to other disciplines of the social sciences. In linguistics, its main applications have been so far pragmatics and theoretical typology. For pragmatics, game theory promises a firm foundation, and a rigor which hopefully will allow studying pragmatic phenomena with the same precision as that achieved in formal semantics.
The development of game theoretic pragmatics is closely connected to the development of bidirectional optimality theory (Blutner, 2000). It can be easily seen that the game theoretic notion of a Nash equilibrium and the optimality theoretic notion of a strongly optimal form-meaning pair are closely related to each other. The main impulse that bidirectional optimality theory gave to research on game theoretic pragmatics stemmed from serious empirical problems that resulted from interpreting the principle of weak optimality as a synchronic interpretation principle.
In this volume, we have collected papers that are concerned with several aspects of game and optimality theoretic approaches to pragmatics.
Parsing coordinations
(2009)
The present paper is concerned with statistical parsing of constituent structures in German. The paper presents four experiments that aim at improving parsing performance of coordinate structure: 1) reranking the n-best parses of a PCFG parser, 2) enriching the input to a PCFG parser by gold scopes for any conjunct, 3) reranking the parser output for all possible scopes for conjuncts that are permissible with regard to clause structure. Experiment 4 reranks a combination of parses from experiments 1 and 3. The experiments presented show that n- best parsing combined with reranking improves results by a large margin. Providing the parser with different scope possibilities and reranking the resulting parses results in an increase in F-score from 69.76 for the baseline to 74.69. While the F-score is similar to the one of the first experiment (n-best parsing and reranking), the first experiment results in higher recall (75.48% vs. 73.69%) and the third one in higher precision (75.43% vs. 73.26%). Combining the two methods results in the best result with an F-score of 76.69.

U ovome se radu nastoji dati pregled mnogobrojnih i raznolikih odraza svetačkog imena Ivan u hrvatskome antroponimijskom fondu s osobitim naglaskom na područje južne Dalmacije (uključujući Boku kotorsku) i Donje Hercegovine. U uvodnome se dijelu rada donose odrazi hebrejskoga muškog osobnog imena Jehochánán u raznim indoeuropskim i neindoeuropskim jezicima, potom se tumači postanje hrvatskoga svetačkog imena Ivan i njegovi odrazi u hrvatskome antroponimijskom fondu s posebnim naglaskom na sličnosti i razlike s antroponimijskim fondovima bliskih južnoslavenskih jezika.
A cognição pode ser definida como um processo de aquisição de conhecimento que tem como material a informação do meio em que vivemos e o que já está registrado na nossa memória. Este processo envolve percepção, atenção, memória e ação, e nem sempre acontece de forma consciente. Mais do que simplesmente a aquisição de conhecimento, é um processo de conversão de tudo o que é captado pelo aprendiz de acordo com sua identidade e suas experiências. Com base nesse conceito, propõe-se um modelo teórico para o processamento cognitivo relacionado à produção em língua estrangeira, fundamentado em teorias recentes da neurociência sobre memória, aprendizagem e processamento de representações de seqüências freqüentes na língua (chunks) e ilustrado com dados referentes ao alemão como língua estrangeira. Como resultado, nota-se que o conhecimento teórico sobre a língua estrangeira e a capacidade de utilizá-la são habilidades complementares que interagem na aprendizagem da mesma, mas como saberes distintos, e não estágios do mesmo conhecimento determinados pelo tempo de aprendizagem ou armazenamento na memória, como sugerem alguns teóricos da área.
Tema je ovoga rada raščlamba kategorije prijelaznosti u hrvatskim gramatikama. Pri raščlambi je proučen odnos subjekta i (auto)objekta. Prikazan je način na koji je prijelaznost opisana u gramatikama te su obrađena ova pitanja: Kako prijelazni glagoli mogu postati neprijelazni i što se događa s njihovim značenjem? Kako gramatike dijele glagole prema prijelaznosti? Kako se tumači neprava povratnost? Što znači da radnja proizlazi sama od sebe? Na koji je način moguća dodatna interpretacija prijelaznosti kod pravih povratnih glagola s obzirom na razine proučavanja?
Red surečenica
(2009)
Pitanje reda surečenica u posljedičnim rečenicama, tj. mogućnost njihova premetanja (obrtanja), jedno je od onih nerijetkih pitanja u hrvatskome jezikoslovlju koje se smatra riješenim, a da se nitko njime nije valjano i sustavno bavio. Jednodušno se i beziznimno naime smatra da je red surečenica u posljedičnim rečenicama (i red surečenica u nekim drugim zavisnosloženim rečenicama) glavna surečenica – zavisna surečenica stalan i neobratljiv. Nije međutim točna tvrdnja da zavisnosložene rečenice za razliku od nezavisnosloženih mogu premetati red surečenica i da to ne vrijedi samo za posljedične i neke druge rečenice. Naime u nekim tipovima posljedičnih i drugih rečenica, pokazuje se to u ovome radu, zavisna surečenica može prethoditi glavnoj, tj. njezine sastavnice mogu zamijeniti mjesta.
This paper discusses the types of relative clause and noun complement structures found in the Rawang language, a Tibeto-Burman language of northern Myanmar, as well as their origin and uses, with data taken mainly from naturally occurring texts. Two types are preposed relative clauses, but in one the relative clause is nominalized, and in the other it is not. The non-nominalized form with a general head led to the development of nominalizing suffixes and one type of nominalized relative clause structure. As the nominalized form is a nominal itself, it can be postposed to the head in an appositional structure. There is also discussion of the Rawang structures in the context of Tibeto-Burman and the development of relative clause structures in the language family.

It appears that the complexity of Slavic historical accentology is prohibitive for most non-specialists in the field. It may therefore be useful to approach the subject from a number of different angles in order to render it more accessible to a wider audience. In the following I shall discuss the separate accent paradigms and their development from the Late Balto-Slavic system, which is structurally similar to that of modern Lithuanian, up to the end of the Proto-Slavic period, when the system resembled what we find in modern Serbo-Croatian. The numbering of the stages 1.0 through 10.12 is the same as in my earlier publications (1989, 2003, 2005, 2006a, 2008b). For the rise and development of the accentual system up to the end of the Balto-Slavic period I may refer to my discussion (2006b, 2008a) of Olander’s dissertation (2006). It resulted in a system of four major and two minor accent types.
Word formation in Distributed Morphology (see Arad 2005, Marantz 2001, Embick 2008): 1. Language has atomic, non-decomposable, elements = roots. 2. Roots combine with the functional vocabulary and build larger elements. 3. Roots are category neutral. They are then categorized by combining with category defining functional heads.
U radu se analiziraju računalni nazivi sa sufiksom/dočetkom -ware koji se pojavljuju u engleskome i hrvatskome jeziku. Za engleske nazive uspostavljaju se sinonimni nizovi mogućih hrvatskih istovrijednica koji se nastoje vrednovati s pomoću terminoloških načela. Hrvatske su istovrijednice prikupljene na internetu, ali su u analizu uključeni i prijedlozi studenata četvrte godine Fakulteta elektrotehnike i računarstva Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Pri analizi se vodilo računa i o razgraničenju standardnojezičnih naziva i žargonizama.
Horn's division of pragmatic labour (Horn, 1984) is a universal property of language, and amounts to the pairing of simple meanings to simple forms, and deviant meanings to complex forms. This division makes sense, but a community of language users that do not know it makes sense will still develop it after a while, because it gives optimal communication at minimal costs. This property of the division of pragmatic labour is shown by formalising it and applying it to a simple form of signalling games, which allows computer simulations to corroborate intuitions. The division of pragmatic labour is a stable communicative strategy that a population of communicating agents will converge on, and it cannot be replaced by alternative strategies once it is in place.
U radu se analizira latinski sintaktički utjecaj pri uporabi zamjenica u Marulićevu i Kašićevu prijevodu popularnoga srednjovjekovnog djela De imitatione Christi. Istražuju se ova sintaktička svojstava zamjenica: izricanje pripadanja 3. licu s pomoću genitiva ličnih zamjenica za 3. lice, uporaba posvojne zamjenice za 1. i 2. lice u odnosu na povratno-posvojnu zamjenicu svoj, uporaba povratno-posvojne zamjenice svoj u odnosu na posvojne za 3. lice, uporaba lične zamjenice za 1. i 2. lice u odnosu na povratnu zamjenicu, uporaba odnosnih zamjenica na početku rečenice te množina srednjega roda pokaznih, relativne (koji) i neodređenih (sav, svaki) zamjenica u značenju jednine. Na temelju promatranih kategorija autorice nastoje utvrditi sličnosti i razlike tih dvaju proznih prijevodnih tekstova te objasniti prevoditeljski postupak.
Ključne riječi: De imitatione Christi ; Marko Marulić ; Bartol Kašić ; uporaba zamjenica ; sintaktičke prevedenice
U radu se opisuju sintaktičke funkcije participa prezenta aktivnog i participa preterita aktivnog I. u Katančićevu prijevodu Svetoga pisma (1831.). Posebno se istražuje participska konstrukcija apsolutni nominativ (particip u nominativu + ime u nominativu) te se utvrđuju njezine sintaktičke funkcije.
According to the metalexicographical theory, there are three main components in a semasiological dictionary: macro-, micro- and middles structure. The aim of this article is to describe and analyze the microstructure of three general semasiological dictionaries of the German language. As methodological framework, it takes in account the distinction between formal and semantic comment and between definition and density of the constant information program.
Ausgehend von den Zielen des Ausspracheunterrichts wird dargestellt, dass das Verstehen und Verstandenwerden in der Fremdsprache Deutsch gut entwickelte Aussprachefertigkeiten voraussetzt. Analysen an Deutschlernenden haben gezeigt, wo die Hauptschwierigkeiten liegen, diese werden im Beitrag aufgelistet. Um den oft schwierigen Lernprozess zu unterstützen und Lernende zu motivieren und zu sensibilisieren, können im Unterricht spielerische Übungen zu verschiedenen phonetischen Themen eingesetzt werden. Im Beitrag werden die Besonderheiten spielerisch angelegter, d.h. mit Spielelementen versehener Übungen erläutert und Beispiele für solche Übungen gegeben.
Sprachliche Erscheinungen wie Phraseologismen sind in mehrfacher Hinsicht von besonderer Bedeutung: Ermöglichen sie doch einerseits über ihre Herkunftsgeschichte häufig kulturhistorische Einblicke in die jeweilige Gesellschaft, die im Deutsch als Fremdsprache (DaF-)Unterricht vielfältig genutzt werden können. Andererseits werden diese Fertigteile nicht selten sprachspielerisch genutzt und erlauben dadurch Einblicke in den kreativen Umgang mit sprachlichen Mitteln: Sie lassen sich u.a. wortwörtlich lesen bzw. durch Modifikation, d.h. durch Abwandlung für textuelle Zwecke, abändern, wodurch sie ausgezeichnet zur Förderung von Sprachbewusstheit eingesetzt werden können. All dies kann auf der Folie des plurizentrischen Charakters der deutschen Sprache geschehen.
Im Zeitalter der Globalisierung ist die Migration zu einem Ereignis geworden, das immer mehr Menschen betrifft. So machen sich einige auf der Suche nach besseren Lebensbedingungen und aus Gründen der Selbstverwirklichung freiwillig auf den Weg in ein neues Land, während andere durch Krieg oder Armut zum Verlassen ihrer Heimat gezwungen werden. Im Zielland treffen die Migranten notwendigerweise auf andere Menschen, mit denen sie sich austauschen, mit denen sie kommunizieren müssen – möglichst im Medium der Sprache. In den meisten Fällen ist die Sprache des Ziellandes jedoch eine andere als die des Herkunftslandes, so dass eine längerfristige Migration häufig, allerdings in ganz unterschiedlichem Ausmaße, zur Mehrsprachigkeit der Migranten führt.
Die drei Bereiche, die hier verglichen werden sollen, entsprechen in etwa der überkommenen Trias von Literatur, Musik und bildender Kunst, einer Gliederung, die im Medienzeitalters mit Videos, CDs, Installationen oder Happenings eigentlich obsolet ist. Allerdings geht es hier nur um die Eigenart der Zeichensysteme, auf denen die verschiedenen Bereiche beruhen, nicht um die Werke, die dadurch möglich werden, obgleich natürlich auch die Kunstwerke im emphatischen Sinn, die bedeutenden und die banalen, die großen und die misslungenen Gestaltungen nur möglich und verstehbar sind aufgrund der Zeichen, auf denen sie beruhen.
Mehrsprachigkeit und diversifizierte Fremdsprachenangebote werden in einem Atemzug genannt, wenn es darum geht, junge Menschen auf die sprachlichen Anforderungen in einem zusammenwachsenden Europa vorzubereiten. Es geht dabei nicht allein um das Erlernen des Englischen als weltweite 'lingua franca', sondern im Sinne europäischer Sprachenvielfalt, um Anreize für das Erlernen der Nachbarsprachen in Grenzregionen. Eine Besonderheit stellen in diesem Kontext Schulen dar, die unterschiedliche Nationalitäten einbinden. Dazu zählen Gymnasien mit bilingualen-binationalen Zweigen. Der deutsch-tschechische Bildungsgang am Friedrich-Schiller-Gymnasium Pirna, 30 km von der tschechischen Grenze entfernt, existiert bereits über 10 Jahre. Der folgende Beitrag möchte der Frage nachgehen, wie die Schüler auf die Teilnahme am bilingualen Sachfachunterricht vorbereitet werden und dazu auf Punkte zur Entwicklung einer Didaktik des bilingualen Unterrichts eingehen.
Sprachtechnologie für übersetzungsgerechtes Schreiben am Beispiel Deutsch, Englisch, Japanisch
(2009)
Wir [...] haben uns zur Aufgabe gesetzt, Wege zu finden, wie linguistisch basierte Software den Prozess des Schreibens technischer Dokumentation unterstützen kann. Dabei haben wir einerseits die Schwierigkeiten im Blick, die japanische und deutsche Autoren (und andere Nicht-Muttersprachler des Englischen) beim Schreiben englischer Texte haben. Besonders japanische Autoren haben mit Schwierigkeiten zu kämpfen, weil sie hochkomplexe Ideen in einer Sprache ausdrücken müssen, die von Informationsstandpunkt her sehr unterschiedlich zu ihrer Muttersprache ist. Andererseits untersuchen wir technische Dokumentation, die von Autoren in ihrer Muttersprache geschrieben wird. Obwohl hier die fremdsprachliche Komponente entfällt, ist doch auch erhebliches Verbesserungspotential vorhanden. Das Ziel ist hier, Dokumente verständlich, konsistent und übersetzungsgerecht zu schreiben. Der fundamentale Ansatz in der Entwicklung linguistisch-basierter Software ist, dass gute linguistische Software auf Datenmaterial basiert und sich an den konkreten Zielen der besseren Dokumentation orientiert.
Die kontrastive und didaktisch orientierte Sprichwortforschung ist bisher [...] stark vernachlässigt worden. Dieses Desiderat ist durch jüngste Untersuchungen, die empirischlinguistische, korpusbasierte, kontrastive und didaktische Gesichtspunkte einbezogen haben, deutlich zu Tage getreten ist (vgl. v.a. P. Ďurčo: Sprichwörter in der Gegenwartssprache, Trnava, 2005). Es gibt bisher keine statistisch relevanten empirischen Untersuchungen zum aktuellen Gebrauch und zur gegenwärtigen Kenntnis von Sprichwörtern bei den Sprachbenutzern. Und es sind folgerichtig bisher keine spezialisierten Sprichwortkorpora erstellt worden. Es fehlen ebenso moderne ein- bzw. zweisprachige Sprichwortlexika, die ausschließlich auf der Basis umfangreicher Korpusanalysen erstellt worden wären. Ungelöst scheint nach wie vor die Problematik einer theoretisch und funktional begründeten parömiologischen Äquivalenz zwischen verschiedenen Sprachen. Offen ist nicht zuletzt die Frage der kontrastiven Klassifikation und Differenzierung von Sprichwörtern aus linguistischer Sicht.
U radu se analiziraju hrvatski pridjevi Vranciceva rjecnika nastali izvodenjem i slaganjem. Jedan broj pridjevskih tvorenica baštinio je Vrancic iz starohrvatske književnosti, koje su poslužile istodobno kao model za leksikografove znatno brojnije samostalne tvorbene zahvate. S obzirom na specifican put nastanka petojezicnoga rjecnika u clanku se pridjevske izvedenice promatraju u cjelini Vranciceva leksikografskoga pristupa. Posebna je pozornost upravljena suodnosu tvorbe i znacenja.
U radu se na temelju vlastitih terenskih istraživanja i literature prikazuje suglasnički sustav južnomoslavačkih kajkavskih govora, njegov inventar, distribucija i podrijetlo, na primjeru triju govora – Kutinskoga Sela, Osekova i Okešinca. Prikazuju se zajedničke i razlikovne značajke triju navedenih govora. Južnomoslavački kajkavski govori pripadaju južnomoslavačkomu ili donjolonjskomu dijalektu.
Das 23 Seiten umfassende Tagebuch von Stefan Cordines befindet sich im Staatsarchiv Leutschau (Štátny archív v Levoči; Fonds "Zbierky rôznej proveniencie", sign. 143). Die Handschrift ist in korrekter deutscher Sprache geschrieben worden, nicht in Form aktueller tagtäglicher Aufzeichnungen, sondern zusammenhängend offensichtlich auf der Grundlage anderweitiger Notizen. [...] Im Folgenden werden aus dem Tagebuch von Stefan Cordines Textstücke in der ursprünglichen Sprachform der Handschrift abgedruckt, die für die Regionalgeschichte von Interesse sind. Das jeweilige Datum stammt aus den Tagebucheintragungen.
Stečaj je interdisciplinarno područje na kojemu se susreću prije svega ekonomisti i pravnici, odnosno u širemu smislu ekonomski i pravni sustavi razmišljanja i izražavanja. Štoviše, Wood upravo stečajni zakon smatra konačnim testom je li pravosuđe uopće pravedno. U ovome se radu analiziraju nesuglasice oko temeljnih naziva koji se upotrebljavaju u stečajnome pravu. Te je nazive potrebno analizirati, razjasniti, i predložiti rješenje kako bi postigli suglasje oko naziva koji se ne bi redefinirali pri svakoj izmjeni Stečajnog zakona. U trenutku kad se brojni zakoni izmjenjuju zbog usklađivanja s propisima Europske unije, a ti zakoni definiraju naše društvo i odnose, važno je razlučiti pojmove u stečajnome postupku. Budući da je hrvatski Stečajni zakon 1990-ih “prepisan” iz njemačkog izvornika, učinjen je ne samo legislativni već i kulturni i jezični prijenos. Usmjerenost na njemački uzor dovela je do toga da su uz pravna rješenja nekritički prevedeni i temeljni nazivi stečajnoga postupka te je zaboravljeno kako valja pozitivno diskriminirati materinski jezik i, kad god je to moguće, koristiti se uobičajenim hrvatskim riječima, osobito nazivima. U radu se prikazuje sukob temeljnih naziva stečajnog postupka i daju argumenti za uporabu osnovne leksičke jedinice na ovom području – naziva stečaj.
Der vorliegende Artikel befasst sich mit der Problematik der Informationsvermittlung im Un-terricht und präsentiert die Ergebnisse meiner Forschungstätigkeit, die ich im Rahmen meiner zukünftigen Dissertation durchgeführt habe. Den Ausgangspunkt bildet eine Korpusanalyse, die die empirischen Daten liefert und im Zusammenhang mit dem entsprechenden theoretischen Hintergrund ihre Interpretation ermöglicht. Dies führt zur Aufstellung einer Typologie von Texten gegebener Art, deren Schwerpunkte auf den kognitiven und didaktischen Aspekten liegen und auf diese Weise mehr Licht in die Prozesse der Informations-vermittlung rücken. Die Betrachtungsperspektive, die dabei im Forschungsinteresse steht, bildet die Beziehung Textverfasser – Text ab. Die Stellungnahme zu der oben angeführten Problematik ist mit der Bestimmung der Zielsetzung der Forschungstätigkeit und zugleich mit der Festlegung des entsprechenden theoretischen Hintergrundes und methodischen Vorgehens verbunden.
