The present study aims at analyzing the role of nativeness, the amount of input in L1 acquisition and the multilingual competence in the performance of Italian–German bilingual speakers. We compare novel data from the performance of adult L2 learners (L1: Italian; late L2: German) and that of heritage speakers (heritage language: Italian; majority language: German) to previous data from monolingual speakers of Italian. The comparison deals with the produced word order at the syntax-discourse interface in sentences containing New Information Subjects in answers to questions that prompt the identification of the clausal subject. Overall, adult L2 speakers and heritage speakers perform alike but crucially differently from Italian monolinguals. These data reveal that multilingual proficiency determines an increased variety in the adopted answering strategies; in particular, the German-like strategy is active in Italian. Nativeness alone is thus no guarantee for a homogeneous performance across groups, nor do we find similar patterns of performance in speakers who grew up as monolinguals. Data also show heritage speakers’ sensitivity to verb classes, with answering strategies varying in accordance with the verb argument structure. Participants’ productions reveal an interesting relation in sentences with transitive verbs between subject position (pre-/postverbal) and object form (lexical DP/clitic pronoun).
Research on the music-language interface has extensively investigated similarities and differences of poetic and musical meter, but largely disregarded melody. Using a measure of melodic structure in music––autocorrelations of sound sequences consisting of discrete pitch and duration values––, we show that individual poems feature distinct and text-driven pitch and duration contours, just like songs and other pieces of music. We conceptualize these recurrent melodic contours as an additional, hitherto unnoticed dimension of parallelistic patterning. Poetic speech melodies are higher order units beyond the level of individual syntactic phrases, and also beyond the levels of individual sentences and verse lines. Importantly, auto-correlation scores for pitch and duration recurrences across stanzas are predictive of how melodious naive listeners perceive the respective poems to be, and how likely these poems were to be set to music by professional composers. Experimentally removing classical parallelistic features characteristic of prototypical poems (rhyme, meter, and others) led to decreased autocorrelation scores of pitches, independent of spoken renditions, along with reduced ratings for perceived melodiousness. This suggests that the higher order parallelistic feature of poetic melody strongly interacts with the other parallelistic patterns of poems. Our discovery of a genuine poetic speech melody has great potential for deepening the understanding of the music-language interface.
Margarete Steffin blieb es, von wenigen Ausnahmen abgesehen, versagt, ihr eigenes literarisches Werk zu Lebzeiten veröffentlicht zu sehen. Im Dezember 1936 druckte die Zeitschrift Das Wort das Lied des Schiffsjungen aus ihrem Theaterstück für Kinder Wenn er einen Engel hätte, im Juli des folgenden Jahres folgte ein Abdruck des zweiten Bildes dieses Stücks in der Internationalen Literatur. Ferner erschien im Monatsheft des Deutschen Hauses Agra Die Terrasse ein Reisebericht von ihr über das Sanatoriumsleben auf der Halbinsel Krim. Jedoch gelang es ihr trotz intensiver Bemühungen nicht, weitere literarische Texte zu publizieren...
Mit "Sit-in" und "Teach-in" zur Weltrevolution : Erinnerungen an den Sprachgebrauch der "68er"
(2018)
"Sit-in" und "Teach-in"? – Wer 1968 noch kein Zeitgenosse war, wird beides nur für zwei der im 20. Jahrhundert immer beliebter werdenden, aber oft unverstandenen Fremdwörter aus dem Englischen halten. Heute sind beide weitgehend vergessen, so brandaktuell sie auch einmal waren. Mit ihnen wurde nicht weniger gemeint als eine Sitzblockade vor Hörsälen und die Verhinderung einer regulären Lehrveranstaltung, indem man sie in ein Agitationsforum "umfunktionierte". Die traditionellen Vorlesungen wurden ohnehin als "säkularisierte Predigten" verhöhnt. Als ersten Frankfurter Hochschullehrer traf es ausgerechnet den Staatsrechtler Carlo Schmid, immerhin einen der Väter des Grundgesetzes, der seine Vorlesung abbrechen musste. ...
This commentary on Edwin Carels’ essay “Revisiting Tom Tom: Performative anamnesis and autonomous vision in Ken Jacobs’ appropriations of Tom Tom the Piper’s Son” broadens up the media-archaeological framework in which Carels places his text. Notions such as Huhtamo’s topos and Zielinski’s “deep time” are brought into the discussion in order to point out the difficulty to see what there is to see and to question the position of the viewer in front of experimental films like Tom Tom the Piper’s Son and its remakes.
