Die vorliegende empirische Untersuchung befasst sich mit einer Umfrage zur Wörterbuchbenutzung bei 41 Studentinnen und Studenten des Dipartimento di Filologia, Letteratura e Linguistica der Universität Pisa, dasselbe Department, an dem auch das deutsch-italienische sprachwissenschaftliche Online-Wörterbuch DIL erarbeitet worden ist (vgl. Flinz: 2011). Die schriftliche Umfrage wurde in Anlehnung an Hartmanns 5. Hypothese „An analysis of users´ needs should precede dictionary design“ (1989) durchgeführt. Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse waren von großer Bedeutung für die Gestaltung der makro- und mikrostrukturellen Eigenschaften des Fachwörterbuches. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung und die daraus folgenden Reflektionen werden in thematischen Kernblöcken vorgestellt.
Plurilingualism is an important and widespread term. There are many definitions of the concept and its related words, and these definitions sometimes overlap and cause confusion. The European Union has evidenced plurilingualism since the Treaties of Maastricht and Amsterdam, and its influence on the teaching of foreign languages – especially German – remains considerable. This article aims to provide an explicit, concrete definition of the term, analysing it in lexicographic products, official EU documents and specific literature. The article will conclude with a review of didactic strategies for increasing this complex competence.
Zwischen 1884 und 1914 standen verschiedene Regionen Afrikas und des Pazifiks unter der Kolonialherrschaft des deutschen Kaiserreichs. Teil dieses kolonialen Herrschaftsanspruches war es, Deutsch als Sprache der allgemeinen Kommunikation einzuführen. Um Deutschkenntnisse zu vermitteln, gab es gesetzliche Vorgaben, die den Umfang des Deutschunterrichts in den Schulen näher bestimmten.
By way of migration, large numbers of German-speaking settlers arrived in Pennsylvania between roughly 1700 and 1750. Pennsylvania German, as a distinct variety, developed through levelling processes from L1 varieties of these migrants who came mainly from the southwestern regions of the German speaking area. Pennsylvania German is still spoken today by specific religious groups (primarily Amish and Menonnite groups) for many of whom it is an identity marker. My paper focuses on those Pennsylvania Germans who are not part of these religious groups but have the same migration history. Due to their being closer to the cultural values of American mainstream society, they were integrated into it, and during the 20th century their use of Pennsylvania German was continually diminishing. A revival of this heritage language has occurred over the past c. three decades, including language courses offered at community colleges, public libraries, etc., where ethnic Pennsylvania Germans wish to (re-)learn the language of their grandparents. Written Pennsylvania German data from four points in time between the 1860s and the 1990s were analysed in this study. Based on these linguistic analyses, differences between the data sets are shown that point towards a diachronic change in the language contact situation of Pennsylvania German speakers. Sociolinguistic and extralinguistic factors are considered that influence the role of PG and make their speakers heritage speakers much in the sense of recent immigrant heritage speakers, although delayed by 200 years.
