The novel is shown to subvert, but not to abolish, two spatial formations that originated in early modernity: nation and utopia. Building on Jean Baudrillard's elaborations regarding simulation and simulacra, the article argues that The Beach creates a hyperreal narrative that does away with the idea of isolated, bounded spaces and that in form and content corresponds with the worldwide dominance of the United States at the end of the twentieth century.}, language = {en} } @misc{OPUS4-50235, title = {Focus on English Linguistics}, series = {Anglistik : international journal of English studies}, volume = {32}, journal = {Anglistik : international journal of English studies}, number = {1}, editor = {Kolbe-Hanna, Daniela and Wischer, Ilse}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Winter}, address = {Heidelberg}, issn = {2625-2147}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{KolbeHannaWischer2021, author = {Kolbe-Hanna, Daniela and Wischer, Ilse}, title = {Introduction}, series = {Anglistik: Focus on English Linguistics: Varieties Meet Histories}, volume = {32}, journal = {Anglistik: Focus on English Linguistics: Varieties Meet Histories}, number = {1}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Winter}, address = {Heidelberg}, issn = {2625-2147}, doi = {10.33675/ANGL/2021/1/4}, pages = {5 -- 10}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @incollection{Demske2021, author = {Demske, Ulrike}, title = {Silent Heads in Early New High German}, series = {Headedness and/or grammatical anarchy?}, booktitle = {Headedness and/or grammatical anarchy?}, publisher = {Language Science Press}, address = {Berlin}, pages = {I -- XXIX}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The rising standard language in Early New High German (1350-1650) provides particularly interesting cases for the question of missing heads on all levels of language structure. A well-known example are subordinate clauses lacking a finite auxiliary verb, traditionally called Afinite Constructions. Based on new data, drawn from two treebanks of Early New High German, the present paper will briefly sketch the distribution of ACs, before establishing that they are in fact a type of ellipsis and do not cluster with other non-finite clauses in German. The remainder of the paper addresses the question what kind of information is missing in ACs and how this information is retrieved. Obviously, auxiliary drop in ENHG represents a type of ellipsis rarely attested in present-day German.}, language = {en} }
