Tilo Weber betont in seinem Beitrag die semantische Relevanz von Ereignissen bzw. Ereigniswissen, die er als eine besondere Form von sog. Frames betrachtet. Letztere lassen sich als heterogene und komplexe Wissensrahmen begreifen, die für lexikalische Einheiten und insbesondere für Verben eine besondere Bedeutung haben. Das kognitiv-funktionalistische Frame-Konzept erlaubt zudem, durchaus im Sinne der Tagung, einen interdisziplinären Zugang, insofern es, wie Weber meint, „ein Bindeglied zwischen Sprach-, Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften sein kann.“
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.
Oralität ist gegenüber Literalität historisch primär, und der Übergang hin zur Literalität ist sprach- wie kulturwissenschaftlich einschneidend. Unserdeutsch (Rabaul Creole German), eine erst knapp über 100 Jahre junge, originär ausschließlich mündlich verwendete Kreolsprache, befindet sich gegenwärtig an der Schwelle hin zur Verschriftung. Eine Sammlung von rund 180 spontan schriftlich produzierten Äußerungen dieser noch auf allen Ebenen unnormierten Sprache zeigt von den Unserdeutsch-SchreiberInnen intuitiv zugrunde gelegte Graphem-Phonem-Korrespondenzen. Die Schriftbelege lassen dabei Rückschlüsse zu auf graphematische Kontakteinflüsse sowie auf die mentale Repräsentation von Wörtern bei den SprecherInnen. Diese Erkenntnisse sind, neben ihrer sprachtheoretischen Relevanz, vor allem auch für die noch ausstehende Erarbeitung einer Orthographie von Unserdeutsch von Bedeutung.
Polish żeby under negation
(2021)
The paper addresses two patterns in the distribution of complement clauses headed by the complementizer żeby in Polish related to the presence of sentential negation. It is argued that żeby-clauses with an obligatory negation in the matrix clause, licensed by epistemic verbs, can be treated in terms of negative polarity, with żeby defined as an n-word. Structures with żeby-clauses and an obligatory negation in the embedded clause, licensed by verbs of fear, are argued to be an instance of negative complementation, with żeby specified as a negative complementizer. A uniform lexicalist analysis within the framework of HPSG is provided, employing tools developed to account for Negative Concord in Polish.
This paper deals with a specific type of lexeme, namely binary preposition-noun combinations containing temporal references like am Ende [at (the) end] or für Sekunden [for seconds]. The main characteristic of these combinations is the recurrent internal zero gap. Despite the fact that the omission of the determiner can often be explained by grammatical rules, the zero gaps indicate a higher degree of lexicalization. Therefore, we interpret these expressions as minimal phraseological units with holistic meanings and functions. The corpusdriven exploration of typical context patterns (e.g. using collocation profiles and the lexpan slot filler analysis) shows that a) even such minimal expressions are based on semi-abstract schemes and b) temporal expressions can also fulfill modal or discursive functions, usually with fuzzy borders and overlapping structures. In the case of modalization or pragmatization one can regard such PNs as distinct lexicon entries.
Repeating the movements associated with activities such as drawing or sports typically leads to improvements in kinematic behavior: these movements become faster, smoother, and exhibit less variation. Likewise, practice has also been shown to lead to faster and smoother movement trajectories in speech articulation. However, little is known about its effect on articulatory variability. To address this, we investigate the extent to which repetition and predictability influence the articulation of the frequent German word “sie” [zi] (they). We find that articulatory variability is proportional to speaking rate and the duration of [zi], and that overall variability decreases as [zi] is repeated during the experiment. Lower variability is also observed as the conditional probability of [zi] increases, and the greatest reduction in variability occurs during the execution of the vocalic target of [i]. These results indicate that practice can produce observable differences in the articulation of even the most common gestures used in speech.
This chapter discusses functions of the German language in the Linguistic Landscape (LL) of the Baltic states, with a focus on the Latvian capital Riga. For this end, it applies the "Spot German" approach (cf. Heimrath 2017) in the context of debates on the international role of German (cf. Ammon 2015). It argues that German is an "additional language of society" (cf. Marten 2017b), i.e. it is not a dominant language in the Baltics but can regularly be found in a variety of functions. These relate both to the historical role of German in the region (including its contemporary commodification) and to current relations between the Baltics and the German-speaking countries. These include tourism, business, or educational and political institutions, but also point to, e.g., discourses on the quality assigned to products from the German-speaking region. In this sense, the Baltic states are part of what may, in accordance with Kachru's (1985) 3-circle-model for English, be labelled as "extended circle" of German. At the same time, the chapter discusses how conclusions from Linguistic Landscape research can be used for understanding marketing both in and for the German language: On the one hand, German carries the potential of persuading customers to opt for a certain product. On the other hand, the abundance of situations where German can be "spotted" suggests that the LL may successfully be used for language-marketing purposes, as exemplified by a brochure and a poster created by the DAAD Information Centre for the Baltic states in Riga.
Im Fokus dieses Beitrags steht ein Format, das die Eigenschaften der im Titel dieses Buches so genannten hypermedialen multimodalen Kommunikation in sich vereint: Let's Plays. Den Titel des Beitrags aufnehmend, könnte man hier auch von „vielen Fliegen“ und „einer Klappe“ sprechen, denn Let's Plays bieten eine ganze Reihe von Anknüpfungspunkten, die für den Deutschunterricht relevant sind, aber eben auch - und das ist so charakteristisch für den Einsatz digitaler Formate im Unterricht - anschlussfähig sind für andere Fächer und damit auch den Weg aufzeigen, in eine Schule 3.0, die sich aus starren Fächerkorsetten zu befreien sucht und die Gegebenheiten einer digitalisierten Lebens- und Arbeitswelt etwa in inter- und transdisziplinären Modulen und Projekten abbildet und berücksichtigt.
Insofern reichen auch die Möglichkeiten, Let's Plays in den Deutschunterricht einzubinden, die wir in diesem Beitrag aufzeigen werden, über das Fach Deutsch hinaus und sind dennoch mit Blick auf die Bildungsstandards in der Grundschule und in weiterführenden Schulen passfähig. Sie berühren die Haupt-Kompetenzbereiche: Sprechen und Zuhören, Schreiben, Lesen - Mit Texten und Medien umgehen und Sprache und Sprachgebrauch untersuchen. Diese in den Rahmenlehrplänen vorhandene analytische Trennung spiegelt sich im konkreten Material „Let's Play“ nicht wider. Wir werden deshalb auf einzelne Aspekte eingehen, die als Anregung für die Integration des Gegenstandes in den Deutschunterricht verstanden werden können.
Audio-based interpreting (by telephone or comparable devices) has lately become a widespread communicative practice in multilingual encounters, especially as a consequence of the refugee crisis. Despite the growing need for location-independent assistance, its linguistic-communicative requiremehts have hardly been explored. The central question posed by this paper is therefore: How do the participants in interpreter-mediated counselling sessions conducted via the telephone compensate for the lack of the co-presence and which strategies are (preferably) employed when determining turn-taking in such exceptional circumstances?
