It captures the phenomenon that the basic level of categorization is psychologically more salient than other levels (Rosch et al. 1976). However, findings showing that basic-level words possess a superior status in human communication and vocabulary learning (Rosch et al. 1976; Koevecses 2006) so far pertained only to individuals' L1. In this paper, we argue that Rosch et al's insights are highly relevant in L2 contexts as well. To test the hypothesis that basic-level salience can be evidenced in L2 vocabulary learning, an experiment was conducted among 69 Chinese adult learners of English. On a series of slides, participants were simultaneously presented with different pictures and three English words at the superordinate, basic, and subordinate level. This presentation was followed by a picture naming task, in which participants were expected to write down the first English names that came to their mind. The main results of this experiment are as follows: 1) L2 basic-level words are the most readily given responses in the picture naming task, suggesting the existence of the basic-level salience in L2 vocabulary learning; 2) the presence of the basic-level salience is a matter of degree, influenced by factors such as concept familiarity and, what we call, the "first- encountered-first-retrieved" effect. The mapping of the L1-based categorical organization onto the L2 vocabulary learning process has theoretical and practical (i.e., pedagogical) implications, which are addressed at the end of this chapter.}, language = {en} } @article{WolfPolzenhagen2010, author = {Wolf, Hans-Georg and Polzenhagen, Frank}, title = {The "new semantics" of lexicography - Cognitive Sociolinguistics in L2-variety dictionaries of English}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The recent decades have witnessed the incorporation of new linguistic trends into lexicography.

In this regard, marriage can be relied upon as a major factor in language and cultural maintenance. However, mixed marriages may contribute to language shift in the home because they can lead to a change in language use patterns among minority language speakers and their children. This means that the likelihood of preserving a minority language is greater in marriages among individuals who speak the same indigenous language than in situations in which spouses speak different languages. This study uses questionnaire data from parents of ethnically mixed marriages to explain how mixed marriages contribute to language shift from minority languages to English (Nigeria's official language), Nigerian Pidgin (informal lingua franca) and the major languages (i.e. Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba) in the home domains. The study shows that the future of minority languages will largely depend on the roles of families and the value attached to minority ethnic identity by young people, particularly those from mixed homes.

Jahrhundert ist vordergr{\"u}ndig pr{\"a}skriptiv und basiert auf den traditionellen theoretischen Grundlagen, die f{\"u}r die klassischen Sprachen entwickelt wurden. So werden grammatische Kategorien wie Person und Numerus, Tempus, Modus, Genus Verbi unterschieden, f{\"u}r welche Flexionsparadigmen aufgestellt werden. Im Vergleich zu den klassischen Sprachen hat jedoch das Englische eine weitreichende Umgestaltung in der Strukturierung seiner gesamten Verbalkategorien erfahren: Analytische Mittel (have, be, do, will, etc. in Verbindung mit infiniten Formen des Verbs) werden verwendet, um verschiedene Auspr{\"a}gungen der Vergangenheit, Zuk{\"u}nftigkeit, Gleichzeitigkeit, Vorzeitigkeit, Prozeßhaftigkeit etc. auszudr{\"u}cken. Das Modussystem ist zusammengebrochen. Um dies zu kompensieren und einige der Funktionen des ehemaligen Konjunktivs zu {\"u}bernehmen, wurden zum Beispiel die Modalverben grammatikalisiert. Dann ist auch noch eine v{\"o}llig neue Kategorie entstanden, der Aspekt. In den fr{\"u}hen Grammatiken des 17. Jahrhunderts wurde die Konstruktion be + V-ing, die den Progressiven Aspekt ausdr{\"u}ckt, noch nicht einmal erw{\"a}hnt (z.B. John Wallis 1653, Jeremiah Wharton 1654, Joseph Aickin 1693). Es ist interessant, daß sie zum ersten Mal von einem Ausl{\"a}nder Beachtung findet: Guy Miege f{\"u}hrt diese Konstruktion auf in seiner Englischen Grammatik von 1688. Eine ausf{\"u}hrliche und systematische Beschreibung erfolgt dann aber erst gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts (James Pickbourne 1789). Er integriert die Progressive Form in das Tempussystem und unterscheidet somit insgesamt 18 Tempora im Englischen. Andere Grammatiker nennen 3 oder 5 oder 7 Tempora. Der Aufsatz beschreibt verschiedene Herangehensweisen an die Beschreibung des neu entstandenen Englischen Tempus- und Aspektsystems in der Grammatikschreibung des 18. Jahrhunderts. Ein zentraler Punkt ist die Integration der aspektuellen Unterscheidung zwischen Einfacher und Progressiver Form, die sich in dieser Zeit gerade erst in der Sprache etabliert hatte.}, language = {de} } @article{Wischer2006, author = {Wischer, Ilse}, title = {Grammaticalization}, isbn = {0-08-044361-3}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @misc{Wischer2006, author = {Wischer, Ilse}, title = {Brinton, L.

Far from being merely fodder for horror, the characters significantly contribute to the generation of meaning, including that of the supernatural entity or phenomenon itself.

Much of the perspective propounded in Lovecraft's cosmic horror stories partakes of myth, adopting in particular the latter's universal view and pronounced sidelining of humanity as a whole, which it intensifies to the point of horror. Appearances to the contrary notwithstanding, this universal perspective is consistent with the racism permeating and structuring Lovecraft's writing. Though eschewing racism and universalism, the cosmic horror of Kiernan's "Tidal Forces" negotiates literary reflections of colonialism from an unreflective white perspective.}, language = {en} } @article{WiemannRajaShaswati2021, author = {Wiemann, Dirk and Raja, Ira and Shaswati, Mazumdar}, title = {Postcolonial world literature}, series = {Thesis eleven : critical theory and historical sociology}, volume = {162}, journal = {Thesis eleven : critical theory and historical sociology}, number = {1}, publisher = {Sage}, address = {London [u.a.]}, issn = {0725-5136}, doi = {10.1177/0725513621994707}, pages = {3 -- 17}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Postcolonial criticism has repeatedly debunked the ostensible neutrality of the 'world' of world literature by pointing out that and how the contemporary world - whether conceived in terms of cosmopolitan conviviality or neoliberal globalization - cannot be understood without recourse to the worldly event of Europe's colonial expansion. While we deem this critical perspective indispensable, we simultaneously maintain that to reduce 'the world' to the world-making impact of capital, colonialism, and patriarchy paints an overly deterministic picture that runs the risk of unwittingly reproducing precisely that dominant 'oneworldness' that it aims to critique. Moreover, the mere potentiality of alternative modes of world-making tends to disappear in such a perspective so that the only remaining option to think beyond oneworldness resides in the singularity claim. This insistence on singularity, however, leaves the relatedness of the single units massively underdetermined or denies it altogether. By contrast, we locate world literature in the conflicted space between the imperial imposition of a hierarchically stratified world (to which, as hegemonic forces tell us, 'there is no alternative') and the unrealized 'undivided world' that multiple minor cosmopolitan projects yet have to win. It is precisely the tension between these 'two worlds' that brings into view the crucial centrality not of the nodes in their alleged singularity but their specific relatedness to each other, that both impedes and energizes world literature today and renders it ineluctably postcolonial.}, language = {en} } @book{WiemannMahlbergDzelzainisetal.2014, author = {Wiemann, Dirk and Mahlberg, Gaby and Dzelzainis, Martin and Cuttica, Cesare and Lottes, G{\"u}nther and Davis, J.

While scholars of seventeenth-century republicanism share their enthusiasm for their field, they have approached their subject in diverse ways. The contributors to the present volume have taken the opportunity to bring these approaches together in a number of case studies covering republican language, republican literary and political culture, and republican religion, to paint a lively picture of the state of the art in republican scholarship. The volume begins with three chapters influenced by the theory and methodology of the linguistic turn, before moving on to address cultural history approaches to English republicanism, including both literary culture and (practical) political culture. The final section of the volume looks at how religion intersected with ideas of republican thought.

The text thus announces itself as an afterthought, a supplement appended to some complete larger textual body, from which it is, however, unmoored as it is launched as an independent self-standing text that, moreover, does not indicate to what it is an addendum but instead, on what it speaks. By this token, the Postscript unhinges the conventional notion according to which a supplement signals "the addition of something to an already complete entity" (Attridge 1992: 77). By marking his text as the adjunct to an absent main body, Deleuze appears to concede and at the same time emphatically embrace the necessary incompleteness of this short pr{\´e}cis on the post-disciplinary regime. My argument in the following will be that the supplementary status of the Postscript does not so much signal some subversive or dissident gesture in the name of the minor or the molecular (even though it does that, too); instead, it primarily serves to keep at bay and contain an exteriority that it aims to 'confine by exclusion'1; and that exteriority, I will argue, is the Third World.}, language = {en} }
