    The translation of the Italian metalinguistic ability tests TAM-2 and TAM-3 (Pinto, 1999) into the German MKT-2 (Jessner, Hofer, & Pinto 2015) and MKT-3 (Jessner, Pellegrini, Moroder, Hofer, & Pinto 2015)

    This article describes the major issues and strategies that were elaborated for translating two metalinguistic tests, the TAM-2 (Pinto, Candilera, & Iliceto 2003) and the TAM-3 (Pinto, Iliceto, & 2007), from Italian into German, as MKT-2 (Jessner, Hofer, & Pinto 2015) and MKT-3 (Jessner, Pellegrini, Moroder, & Pinto 2015). The intrinsic complexity of tests that measure both the implicit and the explicit level of metalinguistic awareness was pointed out as one of the sources of difficulty. Terminological issues specific to German versus Italian and also versus the languages of previous translations of these tests (English, Spanish, French) were extensively analysed. The translators present some of the solutions devised for rephrasing the most problematic items in both the MKT-2 and in the MKT-3. The valid empirical results found in the pilot studies conducted with the MKT-2 and the MKT-3 on German-speaking participants are to be viewed as an indirect confirmation of the validity of the translations

    The pilot studies on the MKT-2 (Metalinguistischer Kompetenztest Teil 2, Jessner, Hofer, & Pinto 2015) and the MKT-3 (Metalinguistischer Kompetenztest Teil 3, Jessner, Pellegrini, Moroder, Hofer, & Pinto 2015)

    This article presents the results of the pilot studies conducted on the MKT-2 (Metalinguistischer Kompetenz Test Teil 2 for subjects 9-14) and the MKT-3 (Metalinguistischer Kompetenztest Teil 3, for late adolescence-adulthood), two tests translated from the original Italian metalinguistic ability test TAM-2 (Pinto, Candilera, & Iliceto 2003) and TAM-3 (Pinto, Iliceto 2007) into German. As these German versions were, after a lenghty translation process, administered for the first time to native speakers of German, (Jessner, Hofer, Pellegrini, & Pinto 2015), it was particularly significant to test their impact on German-speaking subjects. The pilot studies were conducted in three small centers of South Tyrol (North of Italy) on native speakers of German. Performances were measured by descriptive and inferential statistics indicators, and by comparison with the normative samples of the Italian TAM-2 and TAM-3. Results showed that both German pilot samples attained good metalinguistic performances at the implicit level, as measured by the L scores of each test, and in line with the Italian normative samples at the corresponding ages, and also at the explicit level, as measured by the ML scores of these tests, which were even superior to those of the Italian subjects. In either MKT-2 and MKT-3, Skewness and Kurtosis values were within range, reliability coefficients ranged from average to high, intercorrelations ranged from moderate to strong, and by means of Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a major component was extracted, that represents the metalinguistic core of the test, as measured by the ML subtests. These preliminary results encourage to further systematic validation studies on both MKT-2 and MKT-3

    Edward Hofer of The Lennox Independent

    In 1913 a 14-year-old South Dakota native walked into the local weekly newspaper office and applied for the position of printer\u27s devil. The teenager was hired. Edward Hofer\u27s career, which has spanned more than 70 years, touched four southeastern South Dakota communities and included the responsibilities of editor/publisher at The Lennox Independent for more than 50 years. The journalist worked through two world wars, the 1930s depression, periods of prosperity, and great changes and advances in technology. The focus of this paper will be on a journalist/businessman supplying a community service--newspaper and job printing--for more than half a century in the same community. This thesis should give a better understanding of the role of a South Dakota weekly newspaper editor in the 20th century. The story of Hofer\u27s life and work in the field of printing and journalism is representative of a small-town editor\u27s struggle to exist and succeed. His story shows the work of one editor maintaining the only formal channel of communication in the area and keeping a community informed about news and events for more than a half century. Thomas F. Barnhart described a typical weekly editor in his 1936 book, Weekly Newspaper Management. The description could have been Hofer. He concerns himself primarily with the constructive side of commun1ty activities, reporting significant and insignificant news reliably, fairly, and interestingly. His paper thrives because of the curiosity of its readers which may be explained as a desire to know more about the lives of neighbors and friends. Hofer was a publisher recording news when South Dakota was entering its 35th year of statehood. As South Dakota approached the centennial mark of statehood, Hofer was still active in the printing and news business. The study of Hofer\u27s career will provide an historical overview of printing and journalism in rural mid-America. Hofer\u27s story spans nearly three-fourths of a century. The paper will also provide the author with a better understanding of journalism in her hometown and will provide the historians in Lennox and Lincoln County with a carefully researched biography of a long-time resident and newspaper editor. This paper will provide a summary of the history of The Lennox Independent and a biography of Edward Hofer. The paper will examine Hofer\u27s efforts to make the newspaper a profitable business through the supplement of income from the commercial printing business, especially the commercial carnival job business. The paper will also record how Edward Hofer used The Lennox Independent to promote the Lennox Municipal Band

    MKT Metalinguistischer Kompetenztest Teil 2

    This book is the translation of four subtests of the original Italian version of a metalinguistic test (The TAM-2, Pinto, Candilera, & Iliceto, 2003) into German. The test addresses subjects from 9 to 14 years (from the end of primary to Junior school) and exists also in other linguistic versions (Spanish, French and English) currently in use in international research on metalinguistic awareness, especially in relation to bilingualism or second, third language learning. The translation has been financed by a European project named MATEL (Metalinguistic Awareness Tests in European Languages. www.matelproject.com) and the test has been piloted on native German-speaking 12 years-old children with very satisfactory results
