Iako se prevedenicama aktiviraju vlastite izražajne mogućnosti jezika, one su također predmet purističkih reakcija. Cilj je rada analizirati latentni utjecaj engleskoga jezika na različite jezične razine kao pojavu koja je prisutna u hrvatskome i u drugim europskim jezicima. Primjeri pokazuju da se radi o rasprostranjenoj pojavi koja proizlazi iz doslovnoga i nemarnoga prijevoda, nepoznavanja norme vlastitoga jezika i pomodnoga slijeda engleske jezične norme.
Leksikografska obradba polisemnih naziva (na primjeru naziva društvenih znanstvenih disciplina)
(2009)
U radu se razmatra problem obradbe polisemnih naziva u općim i terminološkim rječnicima u hrvatskom jeziku na primjeru nazivlja društvenih znanstvenih disciplina. Nazivi iz rječničkoga korpusa (terminoloških i općih rječnika) uspoređuju se s potvrdama naziva u publicističkome funkcionalnom stilu (korpus Hrvatske jezične riznice), a posebno se analiziraju primjeri determinologizacije u publicističkome funkcionalnom stilu. Provedenom je analizom potvrđena sustavnost obradbe polisemnih naziva u općim i terminološkim rječnicima, ali su potvrđene i određene pogreške u obradbi naziva u općim rječnicima (netočno definirana značenja ili izostavljena pojedina česta značenja). U skladu s provedenom analizom daje se i prijedlog obradbe naziva u općem i terminološkom rječniku te se izdvajaju načela koja su bitna pri strukturiranju definicija u općim i terminološkim rječnicima u hrvatskome jeziku.
We show that loanword adaptation can be understood entirely in terms of phonological and phonetic comprehension and production mechanisms in the first language. We provide explicit accounts of several loanword adaptation phenomena (in Korean) in terms of an Optimality-Theoretic grammar model with the same three levels of representation that are needed to describe L1 phonology: the underlying form, the phonological surface form, and the auditory-phonetic form. The model is bidirectional, i.e., the same constraints and rankings are used by the listener and by the speaker. These constraints and rankings are the same for L1 processing and loanword adaptation.
Přìspěvek se zaměřuje na metaforiku a idiomatiku jako jazykové prostředky, které vyjadřujì emocionalitu, konkrétně emoci "láska". Na přìkladech z publicistických recenzì filmů, pojednávajìcìch o lásce (romantická komedie, milostná romance, manņelské drama) autorka článku postihuje typické metafory a (metaforické) idiomy, které recenzenti vyuņìvajì k výkladu obsahu, filmových obrazů i k hodnocenì filmů na téma "láska".
V této práci jsou analyzovány a srovnávány metaforické koncepty v německých a albánských idiomech, které jsou spojeny s 'rukou'. Studie těchto somatismů je provedena na základě teorie konceptuálnìch metafor autorů Lakoffa a Johnsona. Jednotlivé koncepty jsou vńak klasifikovány na základě nadřazených konceptů, které se v obou jazycìch vyskytujì. 'Ruka' se objevuje v metaforických vyjádřenìch např. jako symbol kontroly, moci, vlastnìka, nadřazenosti, činnosti, lidských vztahů, ochrany a dalńìch. V práci jsou dále rozebìrány jednotlivé koncepty těchto somatismů, jako např. Spojenì morálnìho a čistoty: mìt čisté ruce – saubere Hände haben.
Mjesni govor Kacane
(2009)
U članku su prikazane alijetetne, alteritetne te arealne jezične značajke mjesnoga govora Kacane, koja teritorijalno pripada Gradu Vodnjanu. Prema rezultatima istraživanja, taj idiom pripada jugozapadnome istarskom ili štakavsko-čakavskome dijalektu. Jezične značajke Kacane jednake su jezičnim značajkama susjednih Orbanića i drugih dosad istraženih govora Marčanštine te onih južne podskupine barbanskih mjesnih govora, što navodi na zaključak da se krak govora takvih jezičnih značajki proteže dalje prema zapadu.
Experimental data shows that adult learners of an artificial language with a phonotactic restriction learned this restriction better when being trained on word types (e.g. when they were presented with 80 different words twice each) than when being trained on word tokens (e.g. when presented with 40 different words four times each) (Hamann & Ernestus submitted). These findings support Pierrehumbert’s (2003) observation that phonotactic co-occurrence restrictions are formed across lexical entries, since only lexical levels of representation can be sensitive to type frequencies.
Den Bemühungen um einen fachübergreifenden Fremdsprachenunterricht liegen die Richtlinien der europäischen Sprachbildungspolitik zu Grunde, wobei in der Tschechischen Republik diese Tendenzen im Zusammenhang mit der Lehrplanreform in Betracht gezogen werden. Der Unterricht von Sachfächern in der Fremdsprache wird schon an einigen Bildungseinrichtungen durchgeführt. Der Beitrag befasst sich mit Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des fachüberschreitenden Fremdsprachenlernens und -lehrens. Es wird sowohl der lerntheoretische als auch der unterrichtspraktische Hintergrund eines solchen Unterrichts analysiert. Im Weiteren wird versucht, aus den bereits gesammelten Erfahrungen bestimmte Perspektiven für die kommende Entwicklung herauszuarbeiten.

Negation und Modalität
(2009)
Der vorliegende Artikel behandelt die Problematik der Negation im Rahmen der Modalität. Die Aufmerksamkeit richtet sich auf formale und inhaltliche Aspekte der Negation auf dem modalen Feld. Nach dem Vergleich der Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten der Negation im Deutschen und Slowakischen werden die Auswirkungen der Negation auf die semantische Ebene der Modalverben (weiter nur MV) in beiden Sprachen konkret behandelt. Es gibt mehrere Verfahren zur Skopusfestlegung des Negators. Im Artikel wird ein Modell präsentiert, das die Diskrepanz zwischen der oberflächlichen und tatsächlichen Negation in beiden Sprachen zeigt.
U radu se analizira položaj i sudbina jadertinskog, autohtonoga zadarskog romanskog idioma, pripadnika dalmatske, odnosno iliroromanske skupine romanskih jezika. Čitavo XIV. stoljeće vrijeme je najbolje potvrđenosti, ali i neumitnog propadanja jezične strane autohtonoga zadarskog romanstva: nikada prije i nikada poslije toga vremena na tako jasan i očit način prisutan u privatnim i javnim ispravama, jadertinski se u njima pojavljuje već duboko venecijaniziran, poklapajući se više-manje s jezičnim modelom koji se u novoj talijanskoj literaturi naziva volgare venezianeggiante. Analizirajući jezik zadarskih inventara, oporuka, pisama i cedulja iz XIV. st., u potpunosti pisanih na lokalnome romanskom idiomu, autor nestanak autohtonih jadertinskih jezičnih značajki promatra u kontekstu procesa jezične konvergencije – polaganog i sigurnog približavanja mletačkim jezičnim modelima.
Neologismus in Pressetexten
(2009)
Im Kontext der Untersuchung stelle ich mir [...] diese grundsätzlichen Fragen:
1) Wie verhält sich der Neologismus in Pressetexten?
2) Welche sind seine Eigenschaften in Pressetexten:
a) Kommt es zu Bedeutungsveränderungen?
b) Kommt es zu Veränderungen der Gebrauchssphäre?
c) Trägt der Neologismus eine Bewertung?
d) Kommt er in bestimmten Genres/Textsorten vor?
Mit diesen Fragestellungen befasse ich mich in erster Linie im Zusammenhang mit den Neologismen der 90er Jahre. Hier interessierte mich vor allem, ob sich diese Lexeme nach dem ungefähr zehn- bzw. fünfzehnjährigen Abstand immer noch im aktiven Sprachgebrauch befinden bzw. befanden. Von dieser Grundvoraussetzung wickelten sich die oben aufgeführten Fragestellungen zum Neologismus in den Pressetexten ab.
Ever since the discovery of neural networks, there has been a controversy between two modes of information processing. On the one hand, symbolic systems have proven indispensable for our understanding of higher intelligence, especially when cognitive domains like language and reasoning are examined. On the other hand, it is a matter of fact that intelligence resides in the brain, where computation appears to be organized by numerical and statistical principles and where a parallel distributed architecture is appropriate. The present claim is in line with researchers like Paul Smolensky and Peter Gärdenfors and suggests that this controversy can be resolved by a unified theory of cognition – one that integrates both aspects of cognition and assigns the proper roles to symbolic computation and numerical neural computation.
The overall goal in this contribution is to discuss formal systems that are suitable for grounding the formal basis for such a unified theory. It is suggested that the instruments of modern logic and model theoretic semantics are appropriate for analyzing certain aspects of dynamical systems like inferring and learning in neural networks. Hence, I suggest that an active dialogue between the traditional symbolic approaches to logic, information and language and the connectionist paradigm is possible and fruitful. An essential component of this dialogue refers to Optimality Theory (OT) – taken as a theory that likewise aims to overcome the gap between symbolic and neuronal systems. In the light of the proposed logical analysis notions like recoverability and bidirection are explained, and likewise the problem of founding a strict constraint hierarchy is discussed. Moreover, a claim is made for developing an "embodied" OT closing the gap between symbolic representation and embodied cognition.
The aim of this paper is to address two main counterarguments raised in Landau (2007) against the movement analysis of Control, and especially against the phenomenon of Backward Control. The paper shows that unlike the situation described in Tsez (Polinsky & Potsdam 2002), Landau's objections do not hold for Greek and Romanian, where all obligatory control verbs exhibit Backward Control. Our results thus provide stronger empirical support for a theoretical approach to Control in terms of Movement, as defended in Hornstein (1999 and subsequent work).
Nominalization in Rawang
(2009)
The main tenet of the present paper is the thesis that nominalization – like other cases of derivational morphology – is an essentially lexical phenomenon with well defined syntactic (and semantic) conditions and consequences. More specifically, it will be argued that the relation between a verb and the noun derived from it is subject to both systematic and idiosyncratic conditions with respect to lexical as well as syntactic aspects.
Prefácio Estas notas gramaticais têm a sua origem num encontro de trabalho que teve lugar em Maio de 2002 na Localidade de Ntete, Distrito de Balama, na Província de Cabo Delgado. O ensino foi dirigido pelo linguista dr. Oliver Kröger. Marcaram presença o Presidente da Localidade de Ntete, o José Maninga, o Mwene Mphicimu, o Mwene Kotope, Líder Comunitário Akhulapa, Jacob Celestino Rahisse, Francisco Amimo Pihali, Benjamin Fernando Liua e dr. John David Iseminger. A elaboração deste esboço gramatical foi realizada num seminário linguístico nas instalações da Sociedade Internacional de Linguística em Nampula onde também fez parte o Arlindo de Sousa Hermínio. O que se procura nesta modesta contribuição ao ambiente sociocultural da nossa província é uma abordagem ao sistema gramatical de makhuwa-imeetto. Não é uma gramática completa, pois, é uma breve introdução. Mas o nosso desejo é que esta pequena obra seja útil aos que estão envolvidos na elaboração da literatura em makhuwa-imeetto e o seu ensino nos vários projectos de alfabetização na língua materna em Cabo Delgado. Queremos agradecer o Senhor Oliver Kröger pela iniciativa, apoio e desenvolvimento desta obra. dr. John David Iseminger Março ao ano 2009
This paper aims to contribute to the rich discussion that has been developed in this journal throughout previous editions. Many authors have already written here about their considerations and praxis regarding bilingualism, bilingual contexts and bilingual education from different perspectives. Thus, this paper also brings to discussion aspects of the education in bilingual settings in Brazil, where people speak Portuguese and a variety of German basis called Hunsrückisch as their mother tongue. Moreover, this paper aims to be an account of results from different researches, which deal with the advantages of speaking dialect to learn standard German and the prejudices, learners coming from minority languages confront.
Este artigo apresenta um estudo quantitativo do uso dos modos Konjunktiv e Indikativ no discurso indireto no alemão. Através da análise de um corpus de 400 textos online do gênero notícia de jornal, descrevem-se fatores que influenciam a escolha do modo do discurso indireto. Para a realização deste estudo partiu-se das seguintes hipóteses: a escolha do modo do discurso indireto pode ser influenciada pelo tipo de verbo do discurso citante (sagen/dizer, erklären/explicar), pela posição deste (antes ou depois do discurso citado), pelo tempo verbal do verbo finito do discurso citante, tipo de verbo do discurso citado (regular, irregular, auxiliar), se a oração subordinada é introduzida ou não por conjunção, grau de inserção da oração subordinada e distância entre discurso citante e discurso citado.
O ensino/aprendizagem da metafonia do português como língua estrangeira por aprendizes alemães
(2009)
The present article deals with a phenomenon of the portuguese language which is well-known and yet rather neglected in brazilian schools as well as in schools abroad: metaphony. Since this regular vowel change is a phenomenon that foms part exclusively of speech and is not represented in writing, it constitutes a problem for foreign learners, in our case speakers of German. We therefore propose a strategy by the help of which the phenomenon of metaphony in Portuguese can be explained, based on analogies with a similar regular sound change in the German language, called Umlaut. Our study is based upon data collected among students at Christian-Albrechts-Universität in Northern Germany.
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 radu se raspravlja o prefiksu ne- u kajkavskome književnom jeziku. Proučavaju se rječotvorbeni procesi u kojima sudjeluje, tvorbeni načini u kojima se javlja te se ispituje njegova frekventnost u tvorbi pojedinih vrsta riječi. Istražuju se i rječotvorbene i semantičke veze tvorenica s predmetkom ne- i riječi koje su ih motivirale.
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.

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.
Manual development of deep linguistic resources is time-consuming and costly and therefore often described as a bottleneck for traditional rule-based NLP. In my PhD thesis I present a treebank-based method for the automatic acquisition of LFG resources for German. The method automatically creates deep and rich linguistic presentations from labelled data (treebanks) and can be applied to large data sets. My research is based on and substantially extends previous work on automatically acquiring wide-coverage, deep, constraint-based grammatical resources from the English Penn-II treebank (Cahill et al.,2002; Burke et al., 2004; Cahill, 2004). Best results for English show a dependency f-score of 82.73% (Cahill et al., 2008) against the PARC 700 dependency bank, outperforming the best hand-crafted grammar of Kaplan et al. (2004). Preliminary work has been carried out to test the approach on languages other than English, providing proof of concept for the applicability of the method (Cahill et al., 2003; Cahill, 2004; Cahill et al., 2005). While first results have been promising, a number of important research questions have been raised. The original approach presented first in Cahill et al. (2002) is strongly tailored to English and the datastructures provided by the Penn-II treebank (Marcus et al., 1993). English is configurational and rather poor in inflectional forms. German, by contrast, features semi-free word order and a much richer morphology. Furthermore, treebanks for German differ considerably from the Penn-II treebank as regards data structures and encoding schemes underlying the grammar acquisition task. In my thesis I examine the impact of language-specific properties of German as well as linguistically motivated treebank design decisions on PCFG parsing and LFG grammar acquisition. I present experiments investigating the influence of treebank design on PCFG parsing and show which type of representations are useful for the PCFG and LFG grammar acquisition tasks. Furthermore, I present a novel approach to cross-treebank comparison, measuring the effect of controlled error insertion on treebank trees and parser output from different treebanks. I complement the cross-treebank comparison by providing a human evaluation using TePaCoC, a new testsuite for testing parser performance on complex grammatical constructions. Manual evaluation on TePaCoC data provides new insights on the impact of flat vs. hierarchical annotation schemes on data-driven parsing. I present treebank-based LFG acquisition methodologies for two German treebanks. An extensive evaluation along different dimensions complements the investigation and provides valuable insights for the future development of treebanks.
Rječotvorni načini hrvatskoga jezika temelje se na ulančavanju morfema. U radu se opisuju tri tvorbena načina kojih nema u autohtonu, naslijeđenu hrvatskom leksiku – jedan koji se također temelji na morfemskoj raščlambi (infiksacija), dva kojima su temelji drugačiji (reduplikacija i leksička fuzija). Rad želi troje: i) istaknuti pojedine nedosljednosti postojećih opisa hrvatske morfologije, ii) opisati pojedinačne pozajmljene i domaće hrvatske lekseme i konstrukcije u kojima se o tim trima tvorbama može govoriti; iii) predvidjeti mogu li se neautohtoni tvorbeni načini i u kojoj mjeri importirati iz stranih jezika, danas ponajprije (jedino) engleskoga.
Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt eine linguistische Studie vor, die zwei nicht nah verwandte Sprachen auf dem Gebiet der Wortbildung vergleicht – das Deutsche und das Tschechische. Das Forschungsziel der Arbeit stellt die Untersuchung deutscher Determinativkomposita und der ihnen entsprechenden Wortbildungskonstruktionen im Tschechischen dar. Es wird eine relativ junge sprachwissenschaftliche Disziplin, die Korpuslinguistik, rein praktisch vorgestellt und die konkreten Ergebnisse der kontrastiven Untersuchung werden präsentiert.
Nous présentons ici différents algorithmes d’analyse pour grammaires à concaténation d’intervalles (Range Concatenation Grammar, RCG), dont un nouvel algorithme de type Earley, dans le paradigme de l’analyse déductive. Notre travail est motivé par l’intérêt porté récemment à ce type de grammaire, et comble un manque dans la littérature existante.
In this paper, we argue that difficulties in the definition of coreference itself contribute to lower inter-annotator agreement in certain cases. Data from a large referentially annotated corpus serves to corroborate this point, using a quantitative investigation to assess which effects or problems are likely to be the most prominent. Several examples where such problems occur are discussed in more detail, and we then propose a generalisation of Poesio, Reyle and Stevenson’s Justified Sloppiness Hypothesis to provide a unified model for these cases of disagreement and argue that a deeper understanding of the phenomena involved allows to tackle problematic cases in a more principled fashion than would be possible using only pre-theoretic intuitions.
The present study argues that variation across listeners in the perception of a non-native contrast is due to two factors: the listener-specic weighting of auditory dimensions and the listener-specic construction of new segmental representations. The interaction of both factors is shown to take place in the perception grammar, which can be modelled within an OT framework. These points are illustrated with the acquisition of the Dutch three-member labiodental contrast [V v f] by German learners of Dutch, focussing on four types of learners from the perception study by Hamann and Sennema (2005a).
Verbalaktion ist Körperaktion : Bemerkungen zur metaphorischen Konzeptualisierung von Sprechakten
(2009)
Tento článek pojednává o konceptuální metafoře "slovní jednání je tělesné jednání". Autor poukazuje na to, že se jedná o strukturní metaforu, spočívající za porozuměním řeči. Článek se skládá z pěti částí. Nejprve jsou prezentovány cíle a metody teorie řečových aktů (kapitoly 1-3). Za nejdůležitější je považována analýza některých slov a frází: také idiomy (kapitola čtvrtá) patří k těm vyjádřením, ve kterých se očekává výskyt konceptuálních metafor. Analýza metafory zmíněné v titulu a výhled tvoří čtvrtou cast článku (kapitoly 6 a 7). V poslední kapitole jsou prezentovány výsledky.
Eigennamen vereinen viele Besonderheiten auf sich. Dazu gehört, dass wir im Fall der Rufnamen (= Vornamen) direkten und freien Zugriff auf ein riesiges Nameninventar haben, d. h. Eltern können ihr Kind, linguistisch betrachtet ein neues Referenzobjekt, mit einem (oder mehreren) Namen eigener Wahl versehen. Darin sind sie heute vollkommen frei, d. h. die Namen werden fast nur noch nach Geschmack (Wohlklang/Euphonie, Harmonie zum Familiennamen etc.) ausgesucht. Diese sog. freie Namenwahl ist noch nicht sehr alt, etwa gut 100 Jahre. Bis ins 19. Jh. hinein galt (mehr oder weniger) die sog. gebundene Namenwahl, d.h. die Nachbenennung der Kinder nach Familienangehörigen, nach Paten, nach Heiligen, nach Herrschern und anderen Personen.
In diesem Artikel wird erstmals der Wandel der phonologischen und prosodischen Strukturen der deutschen Rufnamen seit 1945 bis heute (2008) bezüglich der Kennzeichnung von Sexus beziehungsweise Gender untersucht. Auf der Grundlage der 20 häufigsten Rufnamen wird gezeigt, wie weibliche und männliche Namen sich diachron im Hinblick auf ihre Sonorität, die verwendeten Vokale (besonders im Nebenton), Hiate, Konsonantencluster, die Silbenzahl und das Akzentmuster verändern. Das wichtigste Ergebnis ist, dass heute die Rufnamen beider Geschlechter strukturell so ähnlich sind wie nie zuvor. Damit hat sich seit dem 2. Weltkrieg eine Androgynisierung vollzogen.
West Slavic accentuation
(2009)
At the time of the earliest reconstructible dialectal divergences, which belong to the Late Middle Slavic period of my chronology (stages 7.0 - 8.0 of Kortlandt 1989a, 2003, 2008), the West Slavic languages represented the most conservative part of the Slavic dialects (cf. Kortlandt 1982b: 191 and 2003: 231).

Předmětem článku je analýza struktury německých párových spojení (binominálních dvojic, binominálů), pro něž je příznačné ustálené pořadí členů a jeden celkovy význam. Analýza 754 párových spojení získaných z různých slovníků ukázala, že v roli jednotlivých komponentů vystupuje 11 slovních druhů, přičemž 84,88 % výrazů je spojeno spojkou (und, oder, aber, weder-noch, als, wie), zatímco u 15,12 % funguje jako spojující výraz předložka. Některá párová spojení nemají žádný spojující výraz (bergauf, bergab) nebo se objevují v podobě věty (kommt Zeit, kommt Rat). U 8,36 % párových spojení je využito aliterace. V 28,65 % je použito stejné slovo dvakrát (Jahr für Jahr). Dále se článek zabývá fonologickými, metrickými, sémantickými a pragmatickými znaky párových spojení.

Der Artikel beschäftigt sich mit der Problematik der Mehrsprachigkeit. In der Einleitung wird die nicht eindeutige Auffassung des Begriffs Bilingualismus inklusive seiner Typologie geklärt. Die Aufmerksamkeit wird auch der Situation des bilingualen Lehrens und Lernens auf dem Territorium der Tschechischen Republik gewidmet. Zuerst werden einzelne Formen des bilingualen Unterrichts aufgelistet, die in Tschechien im Deutschunterricht angewendet werden. Außerdem werden die Ergebnisse einer Untersuchung präsentiert, die die Autorinnen im Jahre 2008 im Rahmen der Entwicklungsprojekte des Schulministeriums durchgeführt haben. Aufgrund der Ergebnisse werden Schlussfolgerungen für die Innovation der Studienprogramme zur Ausbildung der künftigen Deutschlehrer/innen formuliert.
Um sich in Brasilien auf eine wissenschaftliche Stelle zu bewerben, muss oftmals ein "Memorial Acadêmico" eingereicht werden. Eine Textart, die es so im deutschsprachigen Raum nicht gibt. Eine in funktionaler Hinsicht ähnliche Textart liegt im "Akademischen Lebenslauf" vor. In diesem Artikel sollen anhand eines Korpus von sechs "Memoriais" Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten in Illokution und Proposition dieser beiden Textarten aufgezeigt werden.
Der Begriff des doing gender als interaktive Inszenierung des sozialen Geschlechts (gender) hat sich auch in der Linguistik etabliert und ist vor allem für die Sprachverwendung bzw.- Gesprächslinguistik fruchtbar gemacht worden. Doch selbst etwas so biologisch determiniert Erscheinendes wie weibliche und männliche Stimmen, ihre Höhe, ihre Verlaufsmuster, sind konstruierter, als man dies bisher für möglich gehalten hatte. Der am stärksten und radikalsten segregierte sprachliche Bereich, die Rufnamen, wurde für das Deutsche erst 2003 mit der Arbeit "Naming Gender" von Susanne Oelkers empirisch auf die Kodierung von Geschlecht hin untersucht. Erstmals wird systematisch nachgewiesen, dass und worin sich Frauen- und Männernamen phonologisch-strukturell voneinander unterscheiden, außerdem, dass wir diese Geschlechtszuordnungen auch bei uns unbekannten Namen vornehmen. Das heißt, es besteht ein kollektives Wissen darüber, wie weibliche und männliche Rufnamen beschaffen sind.
