Et naivt forsøg på forståelse – Dansk Samling og Tyskland
Full text linkIn the 1930s, one of several small anti-parliamentarian, more or less authoritarian movements in Denmark was ”Dansk Samling” (Danish Unity, see note 3), by its critics labeled as fascist or even nazi, in its self-understanding above all Christian and national and thus strongly opposed to any import of German ideology. In 1938, some of its members attended a meeting in Lübeck, and later that same year the movement’s periodical published ”greetings to Germany” – a rather naive attempt at reaching a dialogue, but still without giving in on crucial matters

Full text linkKan poesien redde? Lyrikkens rolle hos Czesław Miłosz og i hans norske gjendiktning ved Paal Brekke
Full text linkThe purpose of the paper is to compare the original verse by Czesław Miłosz and its translated version by Paal Brekke. To discuss the images of the poetry and the poet in Campo di Fiori and Tilegnelse the comparative translation theory is applied and the poets\u27 literary background brought into focus. In the next step such issues as the translator\u27s figure and his influence on the target text are addressed. The paper presents that Brekke\u27s literary work alters Miłosz\u27s original poetics
”Foran loven”: moderne skandinavisk kortprosa over for Franz Kafkas roman "Processen"
Full text linkThe novel The trial, telling the story of the groundless arrest and prosecution of the bank clerk Josef K., remains one of the best-known and most influential works written by Franz Kafka. Depicting the pointless struggle of a man placed at the mercy of a remote, inaccessible authority, it gives a symbolic account of the human condition in the modern era, characterised by the lack of universal truth, estrangement, confusion and existential impotence. Grasping the very idea of existential modernity, the novel provides ongoing inspiration for a great number of modernist and postmodernist writers all over the world, including Scandinavia. In the article presented below, The trial is examined as an intertext within the genre of the Scandinavian short prose, as it unfolds at breakthrough of modernism and postmodernism. Starting with the literary and critical works of the Danish modernist Villy Sørensen, and moving forward throughout the Danish and Norwegian minimalism of the 1990\u27s, the paper discusses a range of different aspects of The trial, as they reappear in the short stories written by some of the main representatives of the Scandinavian short story. In this way, the article elucidates the relevance of Kafka\u27s novel as an intertext for contemporary Scandinavian short fiction, as well as draws attention to the dialogical dimension of the genre

Full text linkFormulierungsmuster auf Dänischer Schildern
Full text linkCommunication style on signs in public spaces reflects the sociocultural values of a speech community and provides insight into its preferred mode of communication with unknown communication partners. The linguistic routines present in these texts are part of professional linguistic competence. Starting with an inadequate Danish translation of a sign in a German supermarket, this article examines texts on Danish signs with the purpose of identifying and describing the inventory of patterns for this particular genre. Using Sandig’s text linguistic approach, a corpus of about 200 texts was analyzed with respect to the linguistic patterns for regulating behavior or conveying information – the most prominent linguistic actions on signs. The analysis comprises the grammatical forms, the lexical means to characterize the intended message, mitigation strategies, face saving strategies and irony as well as expressions of emotional involvement by the communicator. The results do not allow a general conclusion about preferred patterns but show the potential range of options. Two observations might be pointed out as salient, namely the use of huske ‘remember’ as presequence for getting attention or as part of the proposition and the relative scarcity of mitigating strategies

Idiomer som står mitt hjerte nær. En korpusbasert analyse av utvalgte idiomer med komponent \u27hjerte\u27 i norsk
Full text linkThe article presents an exemplary corpus-based analysis of selected Norwegian idioms in order to gain insight into their theory and actual use. The analysis comprises nine frequent idioms with the component \u27heart\u27. First, each idiom is analyzed using the Leksikografisk bokmålskorpus and Oslo-korpuset av taggende norske tekster in terms of: frequency, possible variants and modifications.

The main purpose of this chapter is thereby to show the potential of the corpus-based approach in the studies of idiomatic expressions
