The archives in Sibiu hold a large number of German documents of the town council with a great historical and cultural significance for the Romanian reading public. This is the reason why the selective translation of these records is more than welcome. This study deals with the difficulties encountered in the act of translation of some civil, administrative and criminal lawrecords of the town council in Sibiu between 1556 and 1705. The analyzed corpus consists of 20 texts from different periods translated into Romanian by the authors of this study. The registered difficulties are engendered on one side by the language particularities – old or worn out idioms, judicial language, dialectal influences, Latin words and phrases, an intricate structure of the sentences, the defective punctuation, abbreviations and graphic peculiarities of the actuary – and on the other side by the historical and cultural background of Transylvania in those times.
The motif of the „sun wedding“, which has its origin in ancient mythology, can also be found in the Romanian folk ballad The sun and the moon, where the action takes place around the conflict with etiological meaning of the love between brother and sister. So, the ballad tries to explain some natural phenomena and tries to answer the question, why the sun never meets the moon in its way across the sky. Masterpiece of Romanian folk poetry, the ballad of the sun wedding with the moon raised the interest of German translators, who proved the size of their talent by translating the ballad in German and by popularizing it among the German readers in the country and abroad. The present study analyses the variants of translation of five authors in different centuries (the 19th and the 20th century) and aims to highlight the difficulties, the solutions and the takeovers of the time, as a result of the authors’ wish to translate the original text as accurately as possible and as close as possible to the spirit of the Romanian folk poetry.
By focusing human factors by the phraseological nomination, it becomes possible to expose obvious cases as reflections of everyday collective observations, experiences and evaluations considering a certain behavior or action. The subject of this investigation is differently molded phraseological units that permit to be listed under the hypernym ‘THE END OF LIFE BY HUMAN BEINGS’. The execution follows up the role of the linguistic image by the constitution of a slice of reality and gives representative examples of the metaphorization of the concept ‚DECEASE‘ in German, Romanian and Swedish. Productive source domains for the conceptualization of this notion will be considered; this due to the insight that conceptual spheres give keys to thought models, values and ideals anchored in the language.
With the ratification of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (ECRM) the Romanian state guarantees all members of national minorities the right to preserve, develop and express their ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious identity.
The charter offers a catalogue of more than 100 activities; at least 35 should be chosen and put into practice by the member states, as is stated in the Declaration of Commitment.
The article analyses, using the example of “education”, which activities Romania has chosen in its first report on the implementation of ECRM (2010) and how the international commission of experts evaluate the application of the Charter in Romania in their inspection report (2012).
This study offers in its first part a brief description of the text genre, analysing the specific lexical and formal features as well as the specific text composition means. As wedding announcements haven’t been examined from a contrastive (German/Romanian)/intercultural point of view yet, it is relevant to mention some research directions and methods.
The Romanian National Archives in Sibiu keep a wide range of documents concerning the history of the Transylvanian Saxons and the every day life of the city of Sibiu. Although of major interest for historians, linguists and translators, these documents have not been fully studied so far. They represent valuable evidence of the evolution of the former German language spoken on the Transylvanian territory and, if translated into Romanian, could offer to the Romanian reader a new perspective on the Transylvanian Saxons’ history. This paper analyses, in the historic context of the time, the depositions of witnesses in a civil trial during the Austrian billeting in Sibiu in the 17th century and discusses the contents by observing the main structural characteristics of the text.
This paper deals with German and Serbian idioms which contain the numeral seven (germ. Sieben, serb. sedam) in order to determine and analyse the different types of equivalence that exist between these German and Serbian idiomatic expressions. It is also an aim of this paper to define the semantics of the numeral seven or sedam, as the similarities and differences between German and Serbian provide interesting results. The results of this paper are to the benefit of the students in German studies, but also students who study German as a foreign language.
This contribution examines the cooperation between Ludwigsburg University of Education, the Danube-Swabian Cultural Foundation and to a lesser extent the German Academic Exchange Service with respect to partnerships and projects developed with educational institutions in South-Eastern Europe. This is followed by a critical assessment of the achievements so far with some suggestions for improvements and further developments.
The paper shows that experiential education and modern approaches to teaching German as a foreign language (GFL) share a number of characteristics, suggesting that experiential education ought to be integrated in teacher training programs. Based on the feedback received from participants in the experiential education project organised in autumn 2013 by the department of “Pedagogy for Primary and Secondary Schools” at the Lucian Blaga University, Sibiu, the paper demonstrates not only that important characteristics of experiential education and principles of modern GFL teaching coincide from a theoretical perspective, but also that this confluence can be experienced at an intuitive and practical level. The project is described in detail and recommended as a possible pilot for other networking projects on German-language teacher training in the Danubian regions.
In this paper there is offered an overview on the possibilities of the German teacher training and its importance in Hungary with a special focus on the German nationality in Hungary, which forms an additional area of the German teacher training. The teacher should not only teach namely German (nationality-) language and culture, but also initiate projects that strengthen the minority’s identity. Also the knowledge and skills tought in the German teacher training are discussed divided on areas.
