A phonestheme can be situated somewhere between a morpheme and a sound symbolic unit as well as between single-language and widespread appearance. Very often, phonesthemes are defined statistically. Consonant clusters like "gl-" appear in many words with certain aspects of meaning like "glint, glimmer, glitter". These cases seem to be restricted to individual languages or language families and resemble morphemes. A natural or iconic relationship between form and meaning is not obvious. Several authors, however, include sound symbolic phenomena with implicit natural features such as "i" for small things. This is a very widespread phenomenon and an example for some natural link between form and meaning. The article pleads for a two-fold definition and two types of phonesthemes. Further discussion takes into account the idea of an interrelation between increasing iconicity and higher diffusion as exemplified by the phonesthemes.

Lexical categories and processes of category change. Perspectives for a constructionist approach
(2017)
This paper revisits the notions of lexical category and category change from a constructionist perspective. I distinguish between four processes of category change (affixal derivation, conversion, transposition and reanalysis) and demonstrate how these category-changing processes can be analyzed in the framework of Construction Grammar. More particularly, it will be claimed that lexical categories can be understood as abstract instances of constructions (i.e., form-function pairings) and category change will be assumed to be closely connected to the process of constructionalization, i.e., the creation of new form-meaning pairings. Furthermore, it will be shown that the constructionist approach offers the advantage of accounting for the variety of input categories (ranging from morphemes to multi-word units) as well as for some problematic characteristics related to certain types of category change, such as context-sensitivity, counterdirectionality and gradualness of the changes.
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.
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.
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.
We analyze English and Greek nominal synthetic compounds like truck driver and truck driving from a syntactic perspective couched within Distributed Morphology. We derive the main differences between the two languages from the different morphosyntactic status of the non-head nouns, which are roots in Greek but categorized words in English.
Este trabalho teve a intenção de investigar sobre o processo de tomada de decisão quanto às funções comunicativas das partículas modais (doravante PM), frente a diferentes contextos. Nesse sentido, aplicamos um questionário online em alemão. Para a coleta de dados foi solicitado a 62 participantes alemães nativos e não nativos que selecionassem dentre um conjunto de orações (contendo ou não PMs) as que proporcionariam interpretações adequadas para contextos pré-estabelecidos. Os resultados apontam que os participantes nativos tiveram maior facilidade em selecionar as opções esperadas nas tarefas apresentadas, porém as reflexões sobre as decisões tomadas foram desafiadoras para ambos os grupos. Portanto, a análise de dados indica deficiências na compreensão da função e complexidade modal das PMs. Assim, além de investigar as decisões tomadas pelos dois grupos, procuramos oferecer ferramentas para o ensino das PMs em aulas de alemão.
This paper discusses aspects of direct speech in James Joyce’s story "The Sisters". The story is often analyzed with special attention to the gaps and ellipses in the utterances, which are usually read as omissions, evasions, or uncomfortable silences, and thus as indicative of some transgressive behaviour of the dead priest who is at the centre of the dialogues. In this article we explore the hypothesis that the utterances in question show features that are quite common in natural spoken language and thus may also be read as literary techniques to create authentic oral discourse. This hypothesis is not intended to invalidate previous interpretations, but to introduce an additional aspect of interpretation that has been neglected so far. In the context of a literary work, features of natural spoken language acquire new meaning, and the very attempt to narrow the gap between literary and natural spoken language appears as inauthentic, ominous and as an artistic strategy to express the unspeakable. The story thus evokes suspicion and a feeling of eeriness while also offering narrative and linguistic information that allows for a more empathic assessment of the characters. We use quantitative methods of analysis and linguistic data from corpora of (authentic) spoken language to substantiate our hypothesis. As "The Sisters" is a rather short story and the present study is, in several respects, exploratory, our claims and hypotheses need to be confirmed and validated by more exhaustive research into Joyce’s major works.
The present study investigates the representation of non-standardised varieties of English in literary prose texts. This is achieved by creating and annotating a corpus of literary texts from Scotland, West Africa, and Southeast Asia. The analysis addresses two major topics. Firstly, the extent of representation reveals clearly distinct feature profiles across regions, coupled with varying feature densities. Feature profiles are also relevant to individual characters, as certain traits such as social status, ethnicity, or age can be signalled by linguistic means. The second topic, accuracy of representation, compares the features observed in literary texts with descriptions of the actual varieties, and suggests that representations of varieties may differ from their real-life models in the sense that highly frequent features may be absent from texts, while less frequent but more emblematic ones, or even invented ones, may be used by authors to render a variety of English in their texts.
