Both authors place a black woman in the role of the detective - an innovative feature not only in the realm of female detective literature of the past two decades but also with regard to the current discourse about race and class in US-American society. This discourse is important because detective novels are considered popular literature and thus a mass product designed to favor commercial instead of literary claims. Thus, the focus is placed on the development of the two protagonists, on their lives as detectives and as black women, in order to find out whether or not and how the genre influences the depiction of Afro-American experiences. It appears that both of these detective series represent Afro-American culture in different ways, which confirms a heterogenic development of this ethnic group. However, the protagonist's search for identity and their relationships to white people could be identified as a major unifying claim of Afro-American literature. With differing intensity, the authors Neely and Wesley provide the white or mainstream reader with insight into their culture and confront the reader\&\#39;s ignorance of black culture.

Research into any language may be enlightening with regard to the understanding of all languages, and languages that show similar features are particularly likely to provide useful information. It is remarkable that the structural similarities between Insular Celtic and Afro-Asiatic languages continue to be interpreted as diagnostic of some sort of special relationship between them; some sort of affinity or mutual affiliation that goes beyond the fact that they are two groups of human languages. This paper investigates again the fallacious nature of the arguments for the Afro-Asiatic/Insular Celtic contact theory (henceforth AA/IC contact theory). It takes its point of departure from Gensler (1993). That work is as yet unpublished, but has had considerable resonance. Such statements as the following indicate the importance that has been attached to the work: "After the studies of Morris-Jones, Pokorny, Wagner2 and Gensler it seems impossible to deny the special links between Insular Celtic and Afro-Asiatic" (Jongeling 2000:64). And the ideas in question have been propagated in the popular scientific press,3 with the usual corollary that it is these ideas that are perceived by the interested but non-specialist public as being at the cutting edge of sound new research, when in fact they may simply be recycled ideas of a discredited theory. For these reasons it is appropriate to subject Gensler's unpublished work to detailed critique.4 In particular, with regard to the twenty features of affinity between Insular Celtic and Afro-Asiatic which Gensler investigated, it will be shown (yet again, in some cases): [...]}, language = {en} } @article{Tristram1996, author = {Tristram, Hildegard L.

One of these trends is a usage-based approach, with the first major application of computer-corpus data in the Collins COBUILD English dictionary (1995) and successive adaptation in other L1-dictionaries. Another, concurrent innovation-inspired by Conceptual Metaphor Theory-is the provision of conceptual information in monolingual dictionaries of English. So far, however, only the Macmillan English dictionary for advanced learners (1st and 2nd edition) has paid tribute to the fact that understanding culturespecific metaphors and being aware of metaphoric usage are crucial for learning a foreign language. Given that most of the English as lingua franca interactions take place between L2-speakers of English (see Kachru, 1994), providing conceptual information is not only a desideratum for L1- and learner dictionaries, but especially for (L2-) variety dictionaries of English. In our paper, we follow earlier tentative proposals by Polzenhagen (2007) and Wolf (2012) and present examples from A dictionary of Hong Kong English (Cummings \& Wolf, 2011), showing how culturally salient conceptual information can be made explicit and conceptual links between lexical items retrievable. The examples demonstrate that fixed expressions and idioms -a perennial problem for lexicographers are explicable by means of the proposed lexicographic design, too. Our approach is cognitive-sociolinguistic in that the Conceptual Metaphor approach is coupled with the study of regional varieties of English, more specifically Hong Kong English.

I examine both functions of the Arctic via a reading of the dispute over the Northwest Passage (which emphasizes the Arctic as a space of transit) and the contemporary assessment of new models of sovereignty in the Arctic region (which concentrates on the circumpolar Arctic as an oceanic world). However, both of these debates frequently exclude indigenous positions on the Arctic. By reading Canadian Inuit theories on the Arctic alongside the more prominent debates, I argue for a decolonizing reading of the Arctic inspired by Inuit articulations of the "Inuit Sea."

It is shown that the parallel-opposition construction, next to specific semantic-pragmatic, syntactic and lexical features, also exhibits a relatively fixed range of prosodic features in the first conjunct, among these narrow focus, continuing intonation and/or the avoidance of intonation-unit boundary signals. These are used to project continuation of an otherwise complete utterance and, thus, to secure the floor for the expression of contrast. In addition, the detailed analysis of apparently deviant cases, which takes into account the on-line production of syntax, shows that a lack of prosodically projective features in the first component of the parallel-opposition construction can be explained by the strategic, retrospective use of the construction to resolve problems in turn transition.}, language = {en} } @article{FordCouperKuhlen2004, author = {Ford, Cecilia E. and Couper-Kuhlen, Elizabeth}, title = {Conversation and phonetics : essential connections}, isbn = {1-58811-570-4}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{HeidtFreitagHild2023, author = {Heidt, Irene and Freitag-Hild, Britta}, title = {Critical global citizenship education in the EFL classroom}, series = {Rethinking Cultural Learning: Cosmopolitan Perspectives on Language Education}, journal = {Rethinking Cultural Learning: Cosmopolitan Perspectives on Language Education}, editor = {R{\"o}mhild, Ricardo and Marxl, Anika and Matz, Frauke and Siepmann, Philipp}, publisher = {Wissenschaftlicher Verlag Trier}, address = {Trier}, isbn = {978-3-98940-005-4}, pages = {99 -- 114}, year = {2023}, abstract = {The objective of the present paper is to explore the potentials and challenges inherent in con- ceptualizations of global citizenship education (GCE) in the context of foreign language edu- cation. Specifically, we argue for a critical approach to GCE that emphasizes the significance of language as symbolic power by drawing on the concepts of critical literacy (e.g., Freire 1983; Janks 2014) and symbolic competence (Kramsch 2006; 2011; 2021). To illustrate the necessity of such a critical approach to GCE, we critically analyze teaching materials designed for the English language classroom as provided by the curriculum framework (KMK/ BMZ 2016). The analysis reveals how reliance on dominant Western liberal and neoliberal epistemologies, norms, and discourses might inadvertently reinforce the very inequalities that GCE actually seeks to address. By foregrounding the relationship between language, symbolic power, and GCE, we further redesign these teaching materials and incorporate pedagogical and methodological principles which are in line with a critical literacy and symbolic competence.}, language = {en} } @article{Blell1994, author = {Blell, Gabriele}, title = {Cross-Over : Literature, Paintings and Music}, year = {1994}, language = {en} } @article{Krueck2003, author = {Kr{\"u}ck, Brigitte}, title = {Cultur in postcolonial contact zones : a literature-in- education perspective}, isbn = {3-89626-292-0}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @misc{Wiesmeier2024, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Wiesmeier, Rebekka}, title = {Cultural conceptualisations relating to DEATH in Irish English from a diachronic perspective}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-63871}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-638719}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {104}, year = {2024}, abstract = {The present thesis looks at cultural conceptualisations in relation to DEATH in Irish English from a Cultural Linguistic perspective and puts a special focus on the diachronic development of these conceptualisations. For the study, a corpus consisting of 1,400 death notices from the Dublin-based national newspaper The Irish Times from 14 historical periods between 1859 and 2023 was compiled, resulting in a highly specialised 70,000-word corpus. First, the manual qualitative analysis of the death notices produced evidence for eight superordinate cultural conceptualisations surrounding DEATH, namely, in the order of their frequency THE DEAD ARE TO BE REMEMBERED OR REGRETTED, DEATH IS SOMETHING POSITIVE, DEATH IS REST, DEATH IS A JOURNEY, DYING IS THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER LIFE, DEATH IS (NOT) A TABOO, DEATH IS GOD'S WILL, and DEATH IS THE END. These conceptualisations were derived from linguistic expressions in the death notices that have these conceptualisations as a cognitive basis. Second, the quantitative comparison of the individual conceptualisations detected diachronic variation, which is interconnected with historical and social developments in Ireland. The thesis, therefore, illustrates the applicability of Cultural Linguistics as an adequate method for diachronic studies interested in culturally determined developments of conceptualisations.}, language = {en} } @article{deOliveira2018, author = {de Oliveira, Milene Mendes}, title = {Cultural conceptualizations of business negotiations in the Expanding Circle}, series = {World Englishes}, volume = {37}, journal = {World Englishes}, number = {4}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {0883-2919}, doi = {10.1111/weng.12346}, pages = {684 -- 696}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Following recents calls for the inclusion of conceptual aspects into world Englishes research, I report in this article on conceptualizations of business negotiations by Brazilian and German business people.

Dieser Entwicklung folgend besch{\"a}ftigt sich diese Arbeit mit der Beschreibung und Analyse der Kommunikationssituation am Beispiel der „Locationgate"- Aff{\"a}re (Apple-iPhone-Tracking): Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit ist die Betrachtung der Kommunikation {\"u}ber Apple in einer f{\"u}r das Unternehmen zumindest {\"a}ußerlich kritisch erscheinenden Situation. Untersucht wird die Diskussion des medienwirksamen Ereignisses durch Leser1 in Online-Foren zu Artikeln {\"u}ber den Vorfall. Bei anf{\"a}nglicher Brisanz, die bei dem Thema iPhone-Tracking zu erwarten war, zeigte sich recht schnell, dass zwar in den Leserkommentaren sehr viel und auch sehr kontrovers diskutiert wurde - jedoch f{\"u}r die Marke Apple keine echte Gefahr zu drohen schien, denn die Diskussionen schienen vor allem unter den Nutzern als Fans oder Gegner (Hater) der Marke Apple gef{\"u}hrt zu werden. Eine erste quantitative Untersuchung war von einer Auseinandersetzung mit den M{\"o}glichkeiten des Monitoring der (Social-Media-)Internetkommunikation {\"u}ber eine Marke/ein Unternehmen, das - meist automatisiert, auf quantitativen Analysen basierend - angeboten wird, motiviert. Diese ergab, dass sich relativ geringe Reaktionen zum Positiven oder Negativen hin auf die Unternehmenskommunikation feststellen ließen. Eine erste qualitative Datensichtung ergab, dass negative Lexeme in den Kommentaren sich nicht unbedingt auf die Marke Apple oder das iPhone beziehen, sondern gegen andere Kommentatoren gerichtet sind, und dass unter den Schreibern ein reger Dialog stattzufinden scheint, der auf starken Gegenpositionen basiert. Somit war eine kritische Situation f{\"u}r die Marke Apple in den Foren nicht gegeben. Aus diesen Betrachtungen ergibt sich die Fragestellung, warum die Unternehmenskommunikation in den Foren kaum auf Interesse st{\"o}ßt bzw. was dort stattdessen stattfindet. Hierzu wird analysiert, wer wie oft und mit wem kommuniziert, indem Dialogparameter wie L{\"a}nge und H{\"a}ufigkeit per Schreiber im Gesamtkorpus statistisch betrachtet und die Dialogstrukturen detailliert herausgearbeitet und visualisiert werden. Aufbauend darauf wird auf inhaltlicher Ebene qualitativ beleuchtet, wor{\"u}ber sich die Schreiber insbesondere bezogen auf das Markenimage von Apple austauschen. Darauf aufbauend wird beleuchtet, inwieweit sich eine Markenidentifikation und damit eine Verteidigung der Marke Apple in den Kommentaren ausmachen l{\"a}sst.}, language = {de} } @article{Eckstein2001, author = {Eckstein, Lars}, title = {Dialogism in Caryl Phillips"s Cambridge, or the Democratisation of cultural memory}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @article{Wischer2005, author = {Wischer, Ilse}, title = {Die Anwendung moderner Tempus- und Aspekttheorien auf die altenglische Sprache}, isbn = {3-631-54482-0}, year = {2005}, language = {de} } @article{Brunkhorst1995, author = {Brunkhorst, Martin}, title = {Die englische Literatur im 17.

In diesem Zeitraum wurde sie nicht nur in den westlichen Industriestaaten, in Australien, England, Frankreich und Nord Amerika viel gelesen, sondern auch in China, Russland, der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik und in vielen Sowjetrepubliken. Im Verlauf ihres Schaffens wurde ihr grosse Anerkennung f{\"u}r ihren Beitrag zur australischen Literatur zuteil; sie erhielt die \„Commonwealth Literary Pension\“, die \„Queen\′s Silver Jubilee Medal\“ und 1981 den \„Award of her Majesty\“. Trotz dieser Unterst{\"u}tzung durch den Staat in Australien und England {\"a}usserte Cusack immer wieder feministische, humanistisch-pazifistische, und anti-faschistisch bzw. pro-sowjetische Sozialkritik. Sie war auch f{\"u}r ihren starken Nationalismus bekannt, pl{\"a}dierte daf{\"u}r, eine \„einheimische\“ Literatur und Kultur zu pflegen. Besonders das australische Bildungssystem war das Ziel ihrer Kritik, basierend auf ihren Erfahrungen als Lehrerin in st{\"a}dtischen und l{\"a}ndlichen Schulen, die sie ihrer Autobiographie beschrieb. 'Weder ihr Intellekt, noch ihre Seele oder ihre K{\"o}rper wurden gef{\"o}rdert, um ganze M{\"a}nner oder ganze Frauen aus ihnen zu machen. Besonders letztere wurden vernachl{\"a}ssigt. M{\"a}dchen wurden ermutigt, ihren Platz dort zu sehen, wo deutsche M{\"a}dchen ihn einst zu sehen hatten: bei Kindern, K{\"u}che, Kirche.' Cusack engagierte sich stark f{\"u}r Bildungsreformen, die das Versagen australischer Schulen, das erw{\"u}nschte liberal-humanistische Subjekt zu herauszubilden, beheben sollten. Der liberale Humanismus der Nachkriegszeit schuf ein popul{\"a}res Bed{\"u}rfnis nach romantischem Realismus, den man in Cusacks Texten finden kann. Um verstehen zu k{\"o}nnen, wie Frauen sich zwischen \„Realismus und Romanze\“ verfingen, biete ich eine Dekonstruktion von Geschlecht innerhalb dieses \„hybriden\“ Genres an. Mittels feministischer Methodik k{\"o}nnen Einblicke in die konfliktvolle Subjektivit{\"a}t beider Geschlechter in verschiedenen historischen Perioden gewonnen werden: die Zeit zwischen den Kriegen, w{\"a}hrend des Pazifischen Krieges und den Weltkriegen, w{\"a}hrend des Kalten Krieges, zur Zeit der Aborigine-Bewegung, des Vietnamkrieges, sowie zu Beginn der zweiten feministischen Bewegung in den siebziger Jahren. Eine Rezeptionsanalyse des romantischen Realismus und der Diskurse, die diesen pr{\"a}gen, sind in Kapitel zwei und drei untersucht. Die Dekonstruktion von Weiblichkeit und eines weiblichen Subjekts ist in Kapitel vier unternommen, innerhalb einer Diskussion der Art und Weise, wie Cusacks romantischer Erz{\"a}hlstil mit dem sozialen Realismus interagiert. Nach der Forschung von Janice Radway, werden Cusacks Erz{\"a}hlungen in zwei Tabellen unterteilt: die Liebesgeschichte versagt, ist erfolgreich, eine Parodie oder Idealisierung (s. \„Ideal and Failed Romances\“; \„Primary Love Story Succeeds or Fails\“). Unter Einbeziehung von Judith Butlers philosophischem Ansatz in die Literaturkritik wird deutlich, dass diese Hybridisierung der Gattungen das fiktionale Subjekt davon abh{\"a}lt, ihr/sein Geschlecht \„sinnvoll\“ zu inszenieren. Wie das \„reale Subjekt\“, der Frau in der Gesellschaft, agiert die fiktionale Protagonistin in einer nicht intelligiblen Art und Weise aufgrund der multiplen Anforderungen an und den Einschr{\"a}nkungen f{\"u}r ihr Geschlecht. Demnach produziert die geschlechtliche Benennung des Subjektes eine Vielfalt von Geschlechtern: Cusacks Frauen und M{\"a}nner sind gepr{\"a}gt von den unterschiedlichen und konfliktvollen Anspr{\"u}chen der dichotom gegen{\"u}bergestellten Genres. Geschlecht, als biologisches und soziales Gebilde, wird danach undefinierbar durch seine komplexen und inkonsistenten Ausdrucksformen in einem romantisch-realistischen Text. Anders gesagt f{\"u}hrt die popul{\"a}re Kombination von Liebesroman und Realismus zu einer {\"U}berschreitung der Geschlechtsbinarit{\"a}t, die in beiden Genres vorausgesetzt wird. Weiterf{\"u}hrend dient eine Betrachtung von Sexualit{\"a}t und Ethnie in Kapitel f{\"u}nf einer differenzierteren Analyse humanistischer Repr{\"a}sentationen von Geschlecht in der Nachkriegsliteratur. Die Notwendigkeit, diese Repr{\"a}sentationen in der Popul{\"a}r- und in der Literatur des Kanons zu dekonstruieren, ist im letzten Kapitel dieser Dissertation weiter erl{\"a}utert.}, subject = {Cusack}, language = {en} } @article{Wischer2002, author = {Wischer, Ilse}, title = {Dynamic have in North American and British Isles English}, year = {2002}, language = {en} } @article{DeBleser2003, author = {De Bleser, Ria}, title = {Dyslexien und Dysgraphien}, isbn = {3-540-67359-8}, year = {2003}, language = {de} } @article{Blell1996, author = {Blell, Gabriele}, title = {E.

Both tend to resort to a flamboyant pastoralism and excel in elaborate verbal artistry. While received scholarship claims that the English were subject to Irish influence in this respect because of the existence Hiberno-Latin analogues, this short monograph argues that this is very unlikely. Rather both traditions are independently indebted to 7c to 9c Continental preaching styles, the evidence of which shows that there was both a plain preaching mode (the "fisherman's" mode) and an elaborate (or "Asian") one. The use of both was advocated,depending on the occasion, by St. Augustin's "De doctrina christiana." In the Insular context of vernacular preaching, the latter seems to have been functioned as a favoured art form.}, language = {en} }
