Das im zweijährigen Turnus stattfindende International Symposium on Place Names (ISPN) wurde unter Leitung von Prof. Herman Breyer ausgerichtet.
In zahlreichen Vorträgen wurde herausgearbeitet, welche hohe Bedeutung die Namengebung für Straßen, Schulen und andere öffentliche Einrichtungen für die Identitätsstiftung besitzen kann. Ein weiterer Aspekt, der in vielfältiger Weise diskutiert wurde, ist die Relevanz von Toponymen als Teil des historischen Erbes.
This paper evaluates trills [r] and their palatalized counterparts [rj] from the point of view of markedness. It is argued that [r]s are unmarked sounds in comparison to [rj]s which follows from the examination of the following parameters: (a) frequency of occurrence, (b) articulatory and aerodynamic characteristics, (c) perceptual features, (d) emergence in the process of language acquisition, (e) stability from a diachronic point of view, (f) phonotactic distribution, and (g) implications. Several markedness aspects of [r]s and [rj] are analyzed on the basis of Slavic languages which offer excellent material for the evaluation of trills. Their phonetic characteristics incorporated into phonetically grounded constraints are employed for a phonological OT-analysis of r-palatalization in two selected languages: Polish and Czech.
Este artigo aborda parte dos resultados de uma pesquisa mais abrangente que objetivou compreender (inter)relações que se estabelecem entre práticas de leitura e escrita em alemão e em português de crianças do Ensino Fundamental e o contexto de língua de herança em que estão inseridas. Quanto à dimensão teórica, o estudo filia-se à área da Linguística Aplicada em diálogo com a Educação em contextos interculturais. A pesquisa, de base qualitativo-interpretativista, teve como locus uma escola municipal, em zona rural do município de Blumenau, Santa Catarina. Quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos, foram utilizadas duas propostas de produção de narrativas escritas, uma em português e outra em alemão. Os resultados sugerem que (i) as crianças têm domínio restrito de uma estrutura narrativa e aplicam-na parcialmente nas produções em ambas as línguas; (ii) o vocabulário e as estruturas gramaticais são característicos das práticas linguageiras cotidianas; iii) os estudantes desconhecem ou não internalizaram regras ortográficas, especialmente da língua alemã. A partir dos resultados da pesquisa afirma-se a importância de se garantir, na educação formal, o aprendizado da língua de herança, ao lado do português, em contextos bi/multilíngues similares.
The complement structure of tough constructions containing VP complements with gap sites linked to the tough predicate subject has been subject to considerable discussion in the syntactic literature, with an apparent consensus that in "John is easy for us to please, for us" is a PP constituent which controls the subject specification of the following infinitival constituent. I reexamine the classical arguments for this position, including Bresnan's seminal 1971 paper which first argued for this control structure analysis, and argue that none of these arguments are empirically tenable. In all cases, data exist which convincingly undermine central claims or assumptions, and hence there turns out to be no convincing reason to prefer the control structure over the clausal analysis, introduced in Postal's 1971 monograph on crossover and defended in the Gazdar et al. monograph on generalized phrase structure grammar, in which for us to please is a clausal complement to easy. I then offer a number of arguments for the superiority of the clausal analysis, appealing to data from comparatives, parasitic gap constructions and extraposition. My claim that tough complementation of the kind alluded to is clausal must, if sound, be compatible with standardly assumed semantics for these constructions, in which the subject of the complement clause must also serve as an argument of the tough predicate — a conclusion seemingly at odds with a clausal complement syntax. The difficulty is that a constituent whose denotation is one of the terms in the relation denoted by the tough predicate must be retrieved from with a clause, where it is presumably inaccessible under normal Montegovian compositional assumptions. I offer further cross-linguistic evidence based on Guyanese Creole that such an apparent conflict between syntax and semantics is unavoidable, and then offer a syntactic solution, based on work by Detmar Meurers which posits a HEAD feature for verbs structure-shared with their SUBJspecification. This device, which also can be argued for in English on the basis of the Richard construction and several other phenomena, offers a way for information about the subject to be accessible to specifications of the selecting head in a way which compromises locality to the minimal extent possible.

This article presents an analysis of the police television series A Touch of Frost (Yorkshire Television, 1992) and the crime novels by Rodney Wingfield upon which it is based.
In order to analyse the way the protagonist, Inspector Jack Frost, is characterised in either version, data is drawn from the pilot episode of the series and Wingfield’s debut novel Frost at Christmas (1984). Wingfield was less than impressed with television’s version of Frost, stating, ‘He just isn’t my Frost’. The rationale for this article is to apply established models in stylistics to investigate the differences between the original and the adaptation. A core motivation for stylistics is to ‘support initial impressions in various extracts’ readings’ and to ‘describe the readers’ response with some precision’ (Gregoriou 2007: 19); this article therefore offers a close linguistic explanation for an author’s dissatisfaction with the adaptation of his own work. The famously reticent Wingfield did not elaborate in detail on why he disapproved of the television version of Frost, although several critics observed that Wingfield felt television had ‘softened’ his creation. This article contends that ‘softness’ is represented in language through politeness strategies adopted by speakers whilst impoliteness represents the ‘tougher’ speech of Wingfield’s original iteration of Jack Frost. In order to demonstrate this contention, this study will analyse pragmatic elements of the dialogue of both novel and television versions of Frost through the analytical framework for impoliteness developed by Culpeper (1996; 2010). This framework will be integrated into the model for analysing the elements of narrative outlined by Simpson and Montgomery (1995), in turn suggesting an elaboration of this model. In investigating whether television’s Jack Frost is ‘softer’ than the character envisaged by Wingfield, free direct speech and accompanying physical behaviour in novel and television adaptation are analysed, focussing on whether the perceived softness of the latter has been partly achieved by making the speech of Frost less impolite on television.
Combining the methods of linguistics and literary criticism, this article takes a fresh look at two texts that have been analysed ad nauseam: Henry James’s The Portrait of a Lady and Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence. I use James’s late style as a touchstone to compare and contrast the two texts. Analysing syntax by means of close textual analysis of the novels’ opening paragraphs as well as their metaphorical language, and employing the corpus analysis programme AntConc to survey the entire texts, I aim to show that James’s 1880 text anticipates his late style and Wharton’s 1920 text appropriates it to suit her own agenda. However, in respectively anticipating and appropriating this style, James and Wharton create different effects. James intensifies his female protagonist’s ‘world of thought and feeling’ (Eliot 1963: 56), creating a fictional world with literary equality for both genders, while Wharton subverts gender roles in a scathing critique of Gilded Age society, which did not allow for this other ‘world of thought and feeling’. In addition to positioning both novels as feminist, this article compares Wharton’s writing to James’s, but without presupposing the latter’s influence on the former. Instead, acknowledging the fluidity of style, I aim to put forward a convincing case that there are subtle differences that make these authors’ styles Jamesian and Whartonian, respectively.
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.
Die vorliegende Untersuchung behandelt ein spezifisches Problem aus dem Bereich des Bruchunterrichts, nämlich das Problem der Bezeichnungsweise sogenannter „gemischter Zahlen“. Wir werden – nach der Klärung der Terminologie – zunächst die relevanten Daten vorstellen, die wir den Bruchalben von Schüler(innen) einer 6.Klasse entnommen haben (Abschnitt 3). Nach der Darstellung des Fehlerphänomens werden wir dann die kognitiven Fehlerursachen analysieren:2 Die aufgefundenen Normabweichungen werden als Folge eines spezifischen „Interpretationsproblems“ diskutiert, das wir mithilfe linguistischer Analysen auf verbalsprachliche Parallelen der betreffenden Bruchzahlbezeichnungen mit Anzahlangaben zurückführen (Abschnitt 4); auf dieser Basis skizzieren wir Vorschläge für den Mathematikunterricht, die zur Bewältigung des diskutierten Problems beitragen sollen (Abschnitt 5).
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.
"You don’t mind my calling you Harry?" : Terms of address in John Updike’s "Rabbit" tetralogy
(2020)
This paper examines the use of address terms in John Updike’s Rabbit tetralogy (Updike 1995). The first part of the analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the great variety of terms used to address the protagonist, Harry Angstrom, in the decades covered by the novels. The second part focuses on two important side characters, Reverend Eccles and Harry’s mother-in-law. It demonstrates how address term usage with these two characters reflects ongoing changes in their relationship with Harry. The main aim of the paper is to demonstrate the potential of fictional data for the study of address terms and, in return, to capture the manifold functions of address terms as a literary device in fiction.
The research focuses on the narrative verbalization of mental reactions to the official announcement of 9 November 1989 stating that citizens of the GDR were henceforth permitted to travel to the West. This announcement differs from the type of unexpected information which is readily believable and comprehensible, to which we respond with interjections (change-of-state tokens: oh, ach, ach so) and certain formulations (das glaub ich, ich verstehe). Respondents from both East and West Berlin represented in the "Wende-Korpus" reacted from the cognitive perspective with mistrust and incomprehension, and from the emotional perspective with surprise, which was reflected both in syntactic structure and in the frequent use of metaphors. The report was more frequently interpreted as a joke than as a real event.
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.
Anhand einer vergleichenden Analyse von DaF-Lehrwerken aus dem Bereich "Wirtschaftsdeutsch" und "Berufsdeutsch" wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern sich gemeinsprachliche und fachsprachliche Lehrwerke voneinander unterscheiden. Dabei werden nicht nur Unterschiede bzw. Gemeinsamkeiten sichtbar gemacht, sondern auch Probleme aufgezeigt, die sich aus den besonderen Anforderungen an Fachsprachenlehrwerke ergeben. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung weisen darauf hin, dass sich fachsprachliche Lehrwerke zumeist vor allem idealtypisch von gemeinsprachlichen unterscheiden, in der konkreten Umsetzung sind die Unterschiede bisweilen marginal.
Linguistic research and linguistic activism have resulted in key changes to official language use. However, revisions remain contested and many English and German speakers continue to employ male generic terms. In this article I explore whether the encounter with sex-/gender-neutral terminology in June Arnold's novel 'The Cook and the Carpenter' can prompt readers to review their language use and consider alternatives. Based on narrative research, my premise is that fiction can create familiarity with new terms, which is the first step toward wider linguistic change. I frame my investigation with Wittgenstein's notion that "to imagine a language means to imagine a form of life", and put it to the test with a discourse analysis of English and German reader responses. The results of my study show that Arnold's novel stimulates fruitful debate around the issue of linguistic representation. Based on my findings, I propose to integrate literary texts which engage with the issue of sex/gender and language into educational settings to further promote neutral/inclusive language use.
Der vorliegende Beitrag prüft, ob der „Sprachinsel“-Ansatz wirklich geeignet ist, das Problem „Realitätsbereich Deutsch als Minderheitensprache“ sachangemessen zu erkennen, zu erfassen, zu thematisieren, zu beschreiben, zu interpretieren und zu bewerten, indem er verdeutlicht, dass die Metapher der ‘Sprachinsel’ heute mindestens in zweifacher Hinsicht keinen optimalen Ordnungs- und Erklärungsansatz bereitstellen kann. Erstens, weil das derzeitige Kommunikationsprofil von Minderheitengemeinschaften und das aktuelle Gesicht dieser Sprachvarietäten nicht mehr durch eine insulare Abgeschiedenheit, sondern vielmehr durch Zwei- und Mehrsprachigkeit und Sprachen- bzw. Kulturenkontakte bestimmt werden. Zweitens, weil die sog. metaphorischen Konzepte bei der wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnis eine wesentliche Rolle spielen. Daher wäre ein Untersuchungsansatz produktiv, welcher der besonderen aktuellen Dynamik der für die Minderheiten meist charakteristischen mehrsprachigen bzw. mehrkulturigen Konfigurationen und den sprachlichen bzw. kulturellen Austauschprozessen explizit Rechnung trägt. In diesem Zusammenhang wird hier eine interkulturelle (oder transkulturelle) Linguistik als mögliches Paradigma vorgeschlagen.
Im Rahmen eines umfangreichen Projekts zu Übersetzungsmöglichkeiten der deutschen Modalverben ins Portugiesische – und nachdem wir schon den Fall sollen behandelt haben (siehe Hörster/Athayde/Carecho 2011) – stellen wir in dieser Studie einige wesentliche Ergebnisse unserer Untersuchung bezüglich des Modalverbs müssen dar. Ziel unserer Arbeit war nicht die semantische und pragmatische Beschreibung der einzelnen Modalverben, ein Thema, das immer wieder im Mittelpunkt der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion steht. Vielmehr war es unsere Absicht, einen Beitrag zur zweisprachigen Lexikografie, zur Fremdsprachendidaktik und vor allem zur Übersetzungsdidaktik zu leisten.
Neste trabalho são abordados aspectos históricos e semânticos dos termos "doutor" (port.) – "Doktor" (alem.), que apresentam matizes bastante diferenciados nas duas culturas respectivas. Primeiramente é considerado o desenvolvimento do termo "doutor", desde suas origens latinas até o seu uso hodierno em português, em que o termo passa a ser utilizado também como forma respeitosa de tratamento. O uso dessa forma de tratamento para certas categorias profissionais no Brasil é, então, contrastado com a situação vigente na Alemanha, levando-se em conta a legislação e a jurisprudência em ambos os países. As particularidades do tratamento de doutor em cada uma das duas culturas, sobretudo na área do direito, são ilustradas com exemplos. Ao final, são tecidos breves comentários sobre a relevância teórica e prática do assunto para a tradução.
Köşker 2015 yılında yayımlanan "Yabancı Dil Öğretiminde Kültür Aktarımı: Fransız Dili Örneği" başlıklı makalesinde geçmişten günümüze süregelen hedeflerin aksine dil öğrenmenin temel amacının artık öğrenilen dili konuşan kişilerle yazılı veya sözlü iletişim kurabilmek olduğunu belirtmiş, ancak Zeuner (1997) gibi o da konuşma ve anlama üzerine kurulu yazılı ve sözlü iletişim yetisini kullanabilmek için sadece dilbilgisi kurallarını bilmenin yetmediğini, bunun yanı sıra etkileşime girilen kişilerin yaşadıkları topluma ilişkin kültürel değerler hakkında da bilgi sahibi olmak ve dili konuşanların sözel olmayan mesajlarını da anlamak gerektiğini vurgulamıştır. Köşker ve Zeuner'in bu görüşlerinden hareketle bu çalışmada Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı Talim ve Terbiye Kurulu Başkanlığının 2016-2017 öğretim yılından itibaren 5 (beş) yıl süreyle ders kitabı olarak kabul ettiği ve okullarda 2016-2017 eğitim-öğretim yılında yaygın olarak kullanılan Türkiye'de hazırlanmış ve basılmış olan Schritt für Schritt Deutsch Ortaöğretim A1.1 Düzeyi Almanca Ders Kitabı (Çelen Öztürk, 2016) içerdiği kültürel öğeler bakımından Tomková'nın (1992) ve Arıkan ve Saraç'ın (2010) geliştirmiş oldukları ölçütler doğrultusunda mercek altına alınmış ve veriler betimsel analiz yöntemi ile çözümlenerek, yorumlanmıştır. Veriler, Schritt für Schritt Deutsch Ortaöğretim A1.1 Düzeyi Almanca Ders Kitabında hedef dilin konuşulduğu ülkenin günlük yaşamına ve kültürüne ilişkin Türkçede 'Ülke Bilgisi' olarak karşılık bulan Landeskunde kavramı bağlamında coğrafi, tarihsel, sayısal, istatistiksel vs. gibi bilgilere yer verildiğini, bunun ötesinde öğrencilerin hedef dil kültürel öğeleri görmelerini ve duymalarını ve bu yolla zihinlerinde hayal edebilmelerini sağlayan ve kendi kültürü ile hedef dilin kültürünü karşılaştırabileceği ve empati kurabileceği düzenlemelere gidildiğini, ancak gerek 'Kültürlerarasılık' kavramı bağlamında yapılması öngörülen etkinliklerin gerekse ‘Ülke Bilgisi’ olarak karşılık bulan Landeskunde kavramı bağlamında sunulan coğrafi, tarihsel, sayısal, istatistiksel vs. gibi bilgilerin sayıca oldukça sınırlı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Araştırma kitapta yabancı olanı doğru anlayabilmek için mutlaka bilinmesi gereken hedef dilin konuşulduğu ülkeye has kültürel değerlere çok az değinildiğini ve erek dili konuşanların sözel olmayan mesajlarını da anlayabilme becerisini de geliştirecek türde düzenlemelere gidilmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymuştur.
Spielfilme als dominante Ausdrucksform kultureller Identität sind ein modernes, motivierendes, emotional ansprechendes und effizientes (ergänzendes) Lehr- und Lernmedium im Sprachunterricht, dass die Lernenden in "realistisch wirkende Kommunikation" und aktuelle Landeskunde einführt sowie interkulturelle kommunikative Kompetenz entwickelt. Das Interesse der Deutschlernenden an Spielfilmen ist groß und vor allem auf das Erleben authentischer Sprache in realen Situationen, auf den Alltag und die zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen in deutschsprachigen Ländern ausgerichtet. In der Mehrzahl der außeruniversitären DaF-Programme in Malaysia ist das Medium Film trotz aller theoretischen Einsichten seitens der Lehrenden noch immer unterrepräsentiert und beschränkt sich zumeist auf reine Unterhaltung bzw. auf die Vermittlung von landeskundlichen Aspekten. Die Ursachen liegen in der fehlenden Aus- und Fortbildung im Bereich Filmarbeit im Fremdsprachenunterricht und der sich daraus ergebenden Unsicherheit der Lehrkräfte bei der zielgerichteten Implementierung filmischer Textsorten im Unterricht. Hinzu kommen ein stark prüfungszentrierter, traditionell grammatikorientierter Unterricht sowie Zeitmangel, aber auch das Desinteresse vieler Lehrender an der aufwändigen didaktisch-methodischen Vorentlastung und Nachbereitung einer Filmvorführung. Lediglich in den BA-German Programmen werden Filme in verschiedenen Kursen zur Vermittlung von Sprache, Landeskunde, Geschichte, Literatur, Kunst und zum fremd- und eigenkulturellen Vergleich eingesetzt. Am German-Malaysian-Institute dienen deutsche Spielfilme vor allem der interkulturellen Vorbereitung künftiger Studierender ingenieurswissenschaftlicher Programme an deutschen Fachhochschulen.
Besides some well-established forms like autoritär 'authoritarian'; humanitär 'humanitarian'; new coinages ending with -itär can be found in German. These adjectives are closely related to nouns ending with -ität. From an etymological point of view; these formations are morphologically transparent. Not only are the adjectives new; but -itär emerges as a new suffix.
"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.
Transdisciplinary research is research not only on, but also for and, most of all, with practitioners. In the research framework of transdisciplinarity, scholars and practitioners collaborate throughout research projects with the aim of mutual learning. This paper shows the value transdisciplinarity can add to media linguistics. It does so by investigating the digital literacy shift in journalism: the change, in the last two decades, from the predominance of a writing mode that we have termed focused writing to a mode we have called writing-by-the-way. Large corpora of writing process data have been generated and analyzed with the multimethod approach of progression analysis in order to combine analytical depth with breadth. On the object level of doing writing in journalism, results show that the general trend towards writing-by-the-way opens up new niches for focused writing. On a meta level of doing research, findings explain under what conditions transdisciplinarity allows for deeper insights into the medialinguistic object of investigation.
Vom 16. bis 18. März 2017 fand am Institut für Germanistik der Universität Wroclaw eine internationale sprachwissenschaftliche Konferenz statt. Die Tagung mit dem Rahmenthema 'Intra- und interlinguale Zugänge zur deutschen Phraseologie und Parömiologie' wurde vom Lehrstuhl für Angewandte Linguistik des Instituts für Germanistik der Universität Wroclaw in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Institut für Slawistik (FR Westslawistik) der Universität Leipzig veranstaltet.
The aim of the present paper is to highlight some aspects of bilingualism in a German minority language community located in the South of Brazil. Based on ethnographic research methods, the study describes language use in face-to-face interactions between bilingual students and their teacher in a monolingual primary school, focusing on Portuguese-German code-switching from a socio-functional perspective. The results suggest that code-switching should not be associated with language deficit, but with the bilingual discourse since the phenomenon could be seen both as a relevant conversational strategy as well as a significant learning resource among bilingual children.

"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.

"Back to basics" : a cognitive analysis of conversion de-adjectival nominalisation in English

"Ausgangssperre light" und "digitales Semester" – Wortgruppenlexeme zwischen Lexikon und Syntax
(2022)
In recent years, the relation between lexicon and syntax as distinct domains has been questioned repeatedly. For all languages under discussion word-like examples that do not fit the category word have been found, so that the boundary between lexical unit and syntactic unit becomes leaky. Furthermore, relative borderlines vary from language to language. One of the problematic domains are phrasemes (phraseological units). This article concentrates on German multi-word lexemes which are very similar to compounds in respect to structure, semantics, and cognitive aspects (rechter Winkel 'right angle'). Though mostly neglected or treated peripherally, this group is not exactly small, and patterns are productive – in contrast to the rest of phrasemes. We argue in favor of a transition between words and phrases and gradient distinctions between categories and a position of the problematic examples close to compounds and rather not among phrasemes. Finally, we look at how theoretical approaches deal with the problem.
Using arguments based on the data on verb agreement (pronominalization) in Tibeto-Burman, LaPolla 1989 (see also LaPolla 1992) argues that Proto-Tibeto-Burman should be reconstructed as a language with no inflectional morphology. In that paper it is argued that the Proto-Tibeto- Burman system of grammatical relations1 was closer to the typical 'role-dominated' (Van Valin & Foley 1980) Burmese-Yipho system (epitomized by Lahu—see Matisoff 1973). That is, a system where there is no definable 'subject' or 'direct object'; a system where semantic and pragmatic principles govern the organization of discourse, not syntactic functions. In this paper we look at the nature of 'objects' in Tibeto-Burman languages, and here also find support for this view of Proto-Tibeto-Burman grammatical relations. From a survey of ninety-five reliable grammars or descriptions of languages in the Tibeto-Burman family, I found eleven languages with no nominal object marking, twenty languages with nominal morphology consistently marking the patient as object, regardless of clause type, and sixty-four languages with a type of marking where the patient in monotransitve clauses is often or always marked with the same postposition as the goal or beneficiary (dative) in ditransitve clauses. This type of marking is discussed in Dryer 1986 as Primary Object marking. I argue that this type of marking in the Tibeto-Burman languages reflects the semantically based nature of grammatical relations in Proto-Tibeto-Burman.

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.
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.
