No full textInnerhalb des Varietätenspektrums des Deutschen im 18. Jahrhundert wird in der vorliegenden Studie dessen Gebrauch als Fachsprache der Medizin fokussiert, und zwar anhand zweier Lehrtexte, die von wichtigen Figuren der deutschen medizinischen Aufklärung geschrieben wurden: Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland und Johann Theodor Eller. Die Analyse fokussiert auf folgende Schwerpunkte:
• Strukturelle Aspekte in Bezug auf die Textualität: Welche Themenentfaltung erscheint als dominant in den beiden Texten und wie werden die Themen in den einzelnen Kapiteln behandelt? Sind wiederkehrende Strukturen zu erkennen, die womöglich auf eine textsortenspezifische Tradition hindeuten könnten?
• Fachsprachliche Aspekte: Welche fachsprachlichen Postulate (vgl. Baumann 1998; Fijas 1998; Oskaar 1998; Roelcke 2010) sind zu erkennen? Gibt es metakommunikative Elemente, die auf einen bewussten Umgang mit ihnen hindeuten?
• Verhältnis zwischen Deutsch und Latein: Wie werden die lateinischen Termini behandelt, werden sie übersetzt oder erklärt? Zeigen die Autoren ein wissenschaftliches Interesse, das Deutsche als Wissenschaftssprache zu fördern

Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director
Psychology of the Scientist: XLVI. Anna Freud

By reading the biographies and letters of her father Sigmund Freud and what little appears in other writings about her, the author makes inferences as to why Anna has chosen to shun public attention. </jats:p

The role of eighteenth-century newspapers in the disappearance of Upper German variants in Austria
Get PDFThis paper investigates what role 18th-century newspapers played in the disappearance of e-apocope in Austria. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of this Upper German feature in two contexts (the e-apocope in plural nouns and singular dative forms) trace diachronic variation in the Wienerisches Diarium/Wiener Zeitung in order to evaluate the role that newspapers played in the selection and dissemination of language norms. The results show that this newspaper disseminated the final -e in plural forms before it was prescribed by contemporary 18th-century grammarians active in Austria, indicating that newspapers – among other texts written by the educated classes – contributed to the selection as well as dissemination of particular variants. The use of dative -e was, however, less consistent, with a qualitative analysis revealing preferences by individual correspondents. This challenges current scholarly assumptions on the homogeneity of language practice within the text type newspaper. Instead, this article argues that historical newspapers have to be seen as a compilation of texts, rather than homogeneous texts
