Die Untersuchung des Umgangs mit Klausuren in der Studieneingangsphase seitens internationaler Studierender stellt im Projekt Sprache und Studienerfolg bei Bildungsausländer/-innen (SpraStu) neben der Analyse des Mitschreibens in Vorlesungen eine zweite Annäherung an konkretes studientypisches Sprachhandeln dar. Ziel der überwiegend qualitativen Erhebungen rund um Klausuren in der Anfangsphase des Bachelorstudiums von Bildungsausländer:innen ist es hier, sich ein erstes Bild von subjektiv empfundenen Schwierigkeiten und von strategischen Vorgehensweisen bei der Klausurbearbeitung zu verschaffen; dazu wurden sowohl Dozierende als auch L2-Studierende in die Analysen einbezogen. In diesem Kapitel werden einige erste explorative qualitative Analysen der entsprechenden Daten präsentiert. Die Auswertungen beziehen sich auf zwei exemplarische Klausuren der Fächer Deutsch als Fremdsprache (Abschlussklausur zum Modul Lexikologie) und Wirtschaftswissenschaften (Klausur zur Vorlesung Bürgerliches Recht für Wirtschaftswissenschaftler (BGB)), die jeweils am Ende des ersten Studiensemesters geschrieben wurden, und auf mit sechs Bildungsausländer:innen durchgeführte Stimulated Recalls zu diesen Klausuren (vgl. Gass & Mackey, 2017; Heine & Schramm, 2016). Ferner werden Daten aus Interviews mit den Dozierenden ausgewertet, die für die beiden Klausuren verantwortlich waren. Die Analysen können also keinen Anspruch auf Generalisierbarkeit erheben, sondern illustrieren vielmehr einige exemplarische Hürden, die sich ganz spezifisch für L2-Studierende ergeben, aus deren subjektiver Sicht, und setzen sie ins Verhältnis zu den von den jeweiligen Dozierenden erwarteten Herausforderungen.
Latvia

This chapter deals with current issues in bilingual education in the framework of language and educational policies in Latvia, and also outlines similarities or common tendencies in the two other Baltic states, Estonia and Lithuania. As commonly understood in the 21st century, the term ‘bilingual education’ includes ‘multilingual education, as the umbrella term to cover a wide spectrum of practice and policy’ (García, 2009: 9).
The idea of this article is to take the immaterial and somehow ethereal nature of aesthetic concepts seriously by asking how aesthetic concepts are negotiated and thus formed in communication. My examples come from theatrical production where aesthetic decisions naturally play a major role. In the given case, an aesthetic concept is introduced with which only the director, but none of the actors is familiar in the beginning of the rehearsals. The concept, Wabi Sabi, comes from Japanese culture. As the whole rehearsal process was video recorded, it is possible to track the process of how the concept is negotiated and acquired over time. So, instead of defining criteria what Wabi Sabi as an aesthetic concept “consists of,” this article seeks to show how the concept is introduced, explained and “used” within a practical context, in this case a theater rehearsal. In contrast to conventional models of aesthetic experience, I am interested in the ways in which an aesthetic concept is configured in and through socially organized interaction, and — vice versa — how that interaction contributes to the situational accomplishment of the same concept. In short: I am interested in the “doing” of aesthetic concepts, especially in “doing Wabi Sabi.”
Tense, aspect, and mood are grammatical categories concerned with different notional facets of the event or situation conveyed by a given clause. They are prototypically expressed by the verbal system. Tense can be defined as a category that relates points or intervals in time to one another; in a most basic model, those include the time of the event or situation referred to and the speech time. The former may precede the latter (“past”), follow it (“future”), or be simultaneous with it (or at least overlap with it; “present”). Aspect is concerned with the internal temporal constituency of the event or situation, which may be viewed as a single whole (“perfective”) or with particular reference to its internal structure (“imperfective”), including its being ongoing at a certain point in time (“progressive”). Mood, in a narrow, morphological sense, refers to the inflectional realization of modality, with modality encompassing a large and varying set of sub-concepts such as possibility, necessity, probability, obligation, permission, ability, and volition. In the domain of tense, all Germanic languages make a distinction between non-past and past. In most languages, the opposition can be expressed inflectionally, namely, by the present and preterite (indicative). All modern languages also have a periphrastic perfect as well as periphrastic forms that can be used to refer to future events. Aspect is characteristically absent as a morphological category across the entire family, but most, if not all, modern languages have periphrastic forms for the expression of aspectual categories such as progressiveness. Regarding mood, Germanic languages are commonly described as distinguishing up to three such form paradigms, namely, indicative, imperative, and a third one referred to here as subjunctive. Morphologically distinct subjunctive forms are, however, more typical of earlier stages of Germanic than they are of most present-day languages.
The ubiquity of smartphones has been recognised within conversation analysis as having an impact on conversational structures and on the participants’ interactional involvement. However, most of the previous studies have relied exclusively on video recordings of overall encounters and have not systematically considered what is taking place on the device. Due to the personal nature of smartphones and their small displays, onscreen activities are of limited visibility and are thus potentially opaque for both the co-present participants (“participant opacity”) and the researchers (“analytical opacity”). While opacity can be an inherent feature of smartphones in general, analytical opacity might not be desirable for research purposes. This chapter discusses how a recording set-up consisting of static cameras, wearable cameras and dynamic screen captures allowed us to address the analytical opacity of mobile devices. Excerpts from multi-source video data of everyday encounters will illustrate how the combination of multiple perspectives can increase the visibility of interactional phenomena, reveal new analytical objects and improve analytical granularity. More specifically, these examples will emphasise the analytical advantages and challenges of a combined recording set-up with regard to smartphone use as multiactivity, the role of the affordances of the mobile device, and the prototypicality and “naturalness” of the recorded practices.
Our paper discusses family language policies among multilingual families in Latvia with Russian as home language. The presentation is based on three case studies, i.e. interviews conducted with Russophones who have chosen to send their children to Latvian-medium pre-schools and schools. The main aim is to understand practices and regards among such families “from below,” i.e. which family-internal and family-external factors influenced the choice of Latvian-medium education and what impact this choice has on linguistic practices.
The paper shows that there have been critical events which both encouraged and discouraged the choice of Latvian-medium education. The wish to integrate into mainstream society has been met by obstacles both from ethnic Russians and Latvians. Yet, the three families consider their choices to be the right ones for the future development of their children in a multiethnic Latvia in which Latvian serves as the unifying language of society.
„Actual words are of theoretical interest” (Audring 2021: 3). Unter Zugrundelegung dieser gebrauchsbasierten Prämisse geht der vorliegende Beitrag der Frage nach, wie sich die Nominalkomposition im Deutschen auf der Basis sprachlicher Massendaten als Konstruktionsfamilie, d.h. als ein hierarchisches Netzwerk von Konstruktionen unterschiedlichen Abstraktionsgrads, beschreiben lässt. Der Beitrag knüpft in theoretischer Hinsicht an Booijs (2010) „Construction Morphology” an, geht jedoch insofern über diese hinaus, als versucht wird, deren Grundannahmen auch auf automatisch erhobene sprachliche Massendaten anzuwenden. Konkret wird mit einem Inventar von rund 185.000 Zusammensetzungen aus zwei simplizischen Nomen gearbeitet, die systematisch aus dem Deutschen Referenzkorpus (DeReKo) (vgl. Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache 2007) extrahiert und im Anschluss (semi)automatisch weiterverarbeitet wurden.
Der Beitrag widmet sich den Besonderheiten der deutschen Phraseologismen mit Farbkomponenten (schwarz, weiß, rot, gelb, grün und blau), die ein lakunares Phänomen für die Ukrainer bilden, die Deutsch als Fremdsprache studieren. Diese Lücken führen zu kommunikativen Missverständnissen. Dabei wird die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Null-Äquivalenz der Phraseologismen und die falschen Freunde des Übersetzers gelenkt. Die Farbkomponenten kommen beim Übersetzen als identisch, verschieden oder nur in der deutschen Sprache vorhanden vor.
