T1  - Negative menschliche Eigenschaften im Spiegel der Vogel-Metaphorik
JF  - Sprache & Sprachen : Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Sprache und Sprachen
N2  - In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird es um Metaphern und Phraseologismen gehen, in denen sich negative menschliche Eigenschaften wie z.B. Dummheit, Verrücktheit oder Unsauberkeit im Spiegel der Vogel-Metaphorik niederschlagen. Für die Metaphern wird ausgeführt, wie, vor dem Hintergrund der Metapherntheorie von Lakoff & Johnson (1980), Charakteristika der jeweiligen Vogelart semantisch auf Subfelder mangelnder menschlicher sozialer und kognitiver Kompetenzen bezogen sind. Welcher Bezug besteht zwischen einem Ursprungsbereich (source domain) und einem Zielbereich (target domain) wie in Pleitegeier? Wie motiviert oder motivierbar sind Metaphern und Phraseologismen wie Spinatwachtel oder eine Meise haben? In Bezug auf die Phraseologismen wird erörtert, welche struktursemantischen Klassen vertreten sind und welche semantischen Subfelder im Vergleich zu den Metaphern Verwendung finden.
N2  - This paper discusses negative human qualities, such as foolishness, craziness and uncleanliness, associated with metaphors and idioms involving birds. Based on Lakoff & Johnson's (1980) metaphor theory it is shown how specific characteristics of a given bird species are used in metaphors to describe people lacking in social or cognitive competence. Furthermore it will be shown which semantic subfields are predominantly represented. Questions such as the following will be addressed: How are the source domain and the target domain in e.g. Pleitegeier (bankruptcy vulture "being on the brink of disaster") related? How motivated are metaphors such as Spinatwachtel (spinach quail "old frump") or idioms such as eine Meise haben (have a tit "be off one's head")? Which structural-semantic classes occur in idioms will be discussed as well as which semantic subfields are used in idioms as opposed to metaphors.

N2  - No other means of communication determines through its seemingly unrestricted possibilities our everyday life more than the internet. From the mid-90s onwards, more and more technical advancements in the field of communication appear on the market, which in turn call for new terminology. In the first place, it is the internet (essentially based on the interaction between users and experts), which requires effective nomenclature in order to mediate between lay users and their restricted knowledge on the one, and experts and their sophisticated terminology on the other hand. At the interface between the new and complex realities and the need for simple linguistic access, a huge quantity of metaphoric denominations is used, making abstract innovations more comprehensible. Metaphor in the internet discourse serves to "reduce verticality" (Stenschke 2006) between specialized terminology and common language. The paper deals with metaphors based on spatial concepts. Space and spatiality play a key role in cognitive theories of metaphor as these theories themselves (according to Lakoff/Johnson 1980) are often based on the application of spatial concepts to non-spatial relations. After describing spatial concepts in general (referring to the internet), the paper explores which kind of metaphor takes advantage of the complexity present in the internet and how the medial space is linguistically recaptured in terms of spatial perception.
