Der vorliegende Beitrag bietet einen aktuellen Überblick über die derzeit im Internet verfügbaren Materialien mit Relevanz für das Fach Deutsch als Fremdsprache. Diese werden kritisch gesichtet, sortiert und ausgewertet und damit das Nutzungspotential des Internet als Informationsquelle, Kommunikationskanal und Unterrichtsmedium für Lernende und Lehrende des Deutschen als Fremdsprache ermittelt. Bezugspunkt der Diskussion sind dabei zum einen die Gegebenheiten und Bedürfnisse des Sprachunterrichts mit seinen Rahmenbedingungen, zum anderen aktuelle methodische Paradigmen des akademischen Fachs Deutsch als Fremdsprache und weniger technische, informationswissenschaftliche, semiotische oder allgemeine kommunikationswissenschaftliche Aspekte des Internet.

An important role in the coherence of texts is played by the distribution of information in the sentence. The present paper especially examines the beginning of sentences (topics). Which syntactic elements are most adequate to initiate a sentence, and which of their characteristics can be considered responsible for this? After a short review of the pertinent literature, we shall present grammatical, semantic and pragmatic factors that organize topicalization. The point of departure are the patterns of basic serialization as defined by the grammar. Deviations of these patterns can particularly be a result of the principle of known information. In addition to this constitutive principle, we can distinguish five regulative principles that lead to non-marked topicalizations (situation, empathy, iconicity, lengthening terms, text connection). In the closing sections, the positioning of phrasal accents and some special types of topics will be discussed. All the examples given are from modem German.
This paper deals with the distribution of word length in short native mythological and historical Eskimo narrative texts. To my knowledge, no Eskimo‐Aleut data have been the object of quantitative linguistic investigation so far. Due to the strong linguistic and Stylistic homogeneity of the examined texts it was assumed that these texts can be subsumed under a single law of word length distribution, if word length distribution of a text is considered as a function of certain of its properties, such as author, language, and genre. So far, word length distribution in texts of a wide variety of languages and genres has been demonstrated to follow distributions of the compound Poisson family of discrete probability distributions. In view of the morphological idiosyncrasies of the Eskimo language in general, which are responsible for an unusually high mean word length of about 4.5 to 5.2 syllables per word in the texts, it is interesting to see whether Eskimo texts show a significantly different behaviour with respect to word length. The results demonstrate that the Eskimo data employed in this study can be fitted well by the Hyperpoisson distribution. Two further discrete probability distributions will be deduced from certain morphology‐based assumptions about Eskimo. It turns out that most of the Eskimo data can be fitted by these two distributions. The question to what extent these results point to a more grammar‐oriented theory of word length is also discussed.
