Metaphern in binären Nominalstrukturen – zur semantisch-pragmatischen Basis figurativen Redens in Gedichten
Get PDFBinäre Strukturen mit nominalem Kopf treten in verschiedenen Formen auf, unter anderem als Substantiv mit präpositionalem Attribut, mit Adjektivattribut, mit attributiver Genitiv-NP oder als Kompositum. Da die Relation zwischen Kopf und Nicht-Kopf in solchen Nominalstrukturen anders als im Verbbereich meist nicht durch syntaktische und semantische Valenzeigenschaften des Kopfs gesteuert ist, bringen solche Strukturen zunächst einmal interpretatorische Uneindeutigkeiten mit sich, die besonders deutlich werden, wenn die beiden verbundenen lexikalischen Elemente keinen konventionalisierten semantischen oder enzyklopädischen Zusammenhang erschließen lassen. Der Interpretationsspielraum der vier Strukturtypen ist dabei unterschiedlich groß
Workshop Proceedings of the 12th edition of the KONVENS conference
Get PDFThe 2014 issue of KONVENS is even more a forum for exchange: its main topic is the interaction between Computational Linguistics and Information Science, and the synergies such interaction, cooperation and integrated views can produce. This topic at the crossroads of different research traditions which deal with natural language as a container of knowledge, and with methods to extract and manage knowledge that is linguistically represented is close to the heart of many researchers at the Institut für Informationswissenschaft und Sprachtechnologie of Universität Hildesheim: it has long been one of the institute’s research topics, and it has received even more attention over the last few years
Warum muss man bei indirekter Rede den Konjunktiv benutzen?
Get PDFFrage von C. (14 Jahre)
Im Rahmen von Aktionstagen wie dem Girls' Day oder Türen auf mit der Maus haben Kinder die Möglichkeit, uns Fragen zu allem zu stellen, was sie an der deutschen Sprache interessiert. Die hier nachlesbare Frage mitsamt Antwort stammen aus diesen Quellen
The creoleness of Unserdeutsch (Rabaul Creole German): A typological perspective
Get PDFIn this paper, we discuss to what extent the German-based contact language Unserdeutsch (Rabaul Creole German, cf. Volker 1982) matches the category‘creole language’ from both a socio-historical and structural perspective. As a point of reference, we will use typological criteria that are widely supposed to be typical for creole languages. It is shown that Unserdeutsch fits fairly well into the pattern of an ‘average creole’, as has been suggested by data in the Atlas of Pidgin and Creole Language Structures (Michaelis et al. 2013). This is despite a series of atypical conditions in its development that might lead us to expect a close structural proximity to the lexifier language, i.e. a relatively acrolectal creole. A possible explanation for this striking discrepancy can be found in the primary function of Unserdeutsch as a marker of identity as well as in the linguistic structure of its substrate language Tok Pisin
Is more always better? Testing the addition bias for German language statistics
Get PDFThis replication study aims to investigate a potential bias toward addition in the German language, building upon previous findings of Winter and colleagues who identified a similar bias in English. Our results confirm a bias in word frequencies and binomial expressions, aligning with these previous findings. However, the analysis of distributional semantics based on word vectors did not yield consistent results for German. Furthermore, our study emphasizes the crucial role of selecting appropriate translational equivalents, highlighting the significance of considering language-specific factors when testing for such biases for languages other than English
The subject of Germanic Linguistics as reflected in Zeitschrift für germanistische Linguistik (ZGL)
Get PDFWhat is the subject of German linguistics? This seemingly simple question has no obvious answer. In the ZGL’s first issue, the editors required contributions to cover the whole of the German language and to be theoretically sound but application-orientated, whereas the current ZGL-homepage defines the German language of present and history in all its differentiations as its subject matter.
Looking through the fifty volumes of ZGL, three relationships can be identified as presumably enlightening the role of language, in particular the German language: language and mind; language and language use; language and culture. Though of a different systematic type, language and data should be added as an increasingly important pairing for conceptualizing language. On this basis, I also discuss the position of linguistic studies of the German language, mirrored in the ZGL-volumes, between social, cultural and natural sciences, as well as the corresponding epistemic approaches – like explaining vs. understanding
Exploring sexual harassment and related attitudes in Beninese high schools: a field study
Get PDFSexual harassment severely impacts the educational system in the West African country Benin and the progress of women in this society that is characterized by great gender inequality. Knowledge of the belief systems rooting in the sociocultural context is crucial to the understanding of sexual harassment. However, no study has yet investigated how sexual harassment is related to fundamental beliefs in Benin or West African countries. We conducted a field study on 265 female and male students from several high schools in Benin to investigate the link between sexual harassment and measures of ambivalent sexism, gender identity, and rape myth acceptance. Almost half of the sample reported having experienced sexual harassment personally or among peers. Levels of sexism and rape myth acceptance were very high compared to other studies. These attitudes appeared to converge in a sexist belief system that was linked to personal experiences, the perceived probability of experiencing and fear of sexual harassment. Results suggest that sexual harassment is a societal problem and that interventions need to address fundamental attitudes held in societies low in gender equality
Einleitung
Get PDFDer vorliegende Band „Sprachinstitutionen und Sprachkritik“ weist eine unmittelbare Verbindung zu den ersten drei Bänden unserer Handbuchreihe und der Frage auf, wie sich das viel diskutierte und diskursiv konstituierte Konzept der sprachlichen Normierung und Standardisierung einer Nationalsprache im Vergleich der Sprachkulturen entwickelt hat und wie es sich aktuell wandelt. Diese Gesichtspunkte lassen aufschlussreiche Verbindungen zum ersten Handbuchband „Sprachnormierung und Sprachkritik“ erkennen, aber auch zum zweiten („Standardisierung und Sprachkritik“) und zum dritten Handbuchband („Sprachpurismus und Sprachkritik“).This present volume, "Language institutions and language criticism", is directly linked to the first three volumes of our Handbook series and to the question, within a comparison of linguistic cultures, as to the ways in which the much-discussed and discursively constituted concept of linguistic standardisation of a national language has developed, along with the ways in which it is currently changing. This perspective reveals enlightening links to the first volume of the Handbook, "Critique of language norms", along with both the second and third volumes ("Standardisation and language criticism" and "Linguistic purism und language criticism").Le volume suivant, intitulé « Institutions linguistiques et Sprachkritik » présente un lien immédiat avec les trois premiers volumes de notre manuel ainsi qu’avec la question de savoir comment le concept, constitué par le discours et beaucoup discuté, d’uniformisation linguistique et de standardisation d’une langue nationale s’est développé dans une comparaison des cultures linguistiques et comment ce concept change, à l’heure actuelle. Ces points de vue laissent apparaître des liens révélateurs avec le premier volume du manuel intitulé « Normalisation linguistique et Sprachkritik », mais aussi avec le deuxième volume (« Standardisation et Sprachkritik » ) et le troisième (« Purisme linguistique et Sprachkritik »).Il presente volume “Istituzioni linguistiche e Sprachkritik” si collega direttamente ai primi tre volumi della collana del nostro Manuale e alla domanda su come si sia sviluppato il concetto discusso e costruito discorsivamente delle norme linguistiche e della standardizzazione di una lingua nazionale nel confronto tra le diverse culture linguistiche e come questo sia cambiato nella situazione attuale. Questi punti di vista permettono di riconoscere collegamenti tra il primo volume del Manuale “Critica delle norme linguistiche e Sprachkritik”, il secondo “Standardizzazione e Sprachkritik” e il terzo “Purismo e Sprachkritik”.Ovaj svezak „Jezične institucije i jezična kritika“ usko je povezan s prethodnim trima svescima našeg priručnika te se nastavlja baviti pitanjem jezičnog normiranja i standardizacije nacionalnog jezika kao i njegovim razvojem i suvremenim stanjem u različitim jezičnim kulturama. Spomenuta pitanja jasno ukazuju na poveznice ovog dijela priručnika s prvim sveskom „Jezično normiranje i jezična kritika“, kao i s drugim („Standardizacija i jezična kritika“) i trećim („Jezični purizam i jezična kritika“) sveskom
