Kiezdeutsch, Kurzdeutsch, Migrantendeutsch: una nuova varietà linguistica?
Get PDFThis contribution deals with Kiezdeutsch, a form of youth slang spoken in multilingual and multi-ethnic urban settings in Germany. Based on three works by German scholars published in the past few years the linguistic features of Kiezdeutsch are described and the issues of its sociolinguistic status and of its origin are discussed. Then, the role played by Kiezdeutsch in present day German society is scrutinized relying on the dichotomy ‘community vs. migrancy

Get PDFStudiare tedesco nel secondo dopoguerra (1945-1960). Analisi di alcuni manuali per la scuola secondaria
Get PDFIn this paper four German textbooks addressed to Italian secondary school students and published between 1945 and 1960 are examined. Three parameters of analysis are considered: structure, method, syllabus. After comparing the textbooks, the issue of the status of post-WWII textbooks from today’s perspective will be discussed
sieht man schon die leuten an, wer deutsch spricht
Get PDFDer Abbau von Dativformen zählt zu den salientesten Merkmalen vieler extraterritorialer Varietäten des Deutschen. In diesem Beitrag untersuchen wir den Dativabbau in einer brasilianischen Sprachinselvarietät, dem Blumenau-Deutschen, auf Grundlage gesprochensprachlicher Daten von drei Generationen an Sprecherinnen und Sprechern. Dabei nimmt der vorliegende Beitrag eine quantitative Analyse der Faktoren vor, die zum Verlust oder zum Erhalt der Dativmarkierung in unterschiedlichen Kontexten beitragen. Darüber hinaus erörtern wir Möglichkeiten der Modellierung der entsprechenden Wandelprozesse aus gebrauchsbasierter und konstruktionsgrammatischer Perspektive
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Relative Constructions in European Languages: A Look at Non-Standard
Get PDFThis paper is concerned with relative constructions in non-standard varieties of European languages, which will be analyzed on the basis of three typological parameters (word order, relative element, syntactic role of the relativized item). The validity of claims raised in studies on the areal distribution of relative constructions in Europe will be checked against the results of the analysis, so as to ascertain whether they still hold when non-standard varieties are examined
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
