Of Sources and Files
(2019)
Files produced by the secret police forces of former Eastern Bloc countries are complex documents, not completely reliable and yet not fully untrustworthy either—or as the British historian Timothy Garton Ash has remarked, “There is a truth that can be found [in a secret police file]. Not a single, absolute Truth with a capital T but still a real and important one” (2002, 282). As historical documents—texts anchored in a time and place and resulting from specific circumstances—files in general “supplement or rework ‘reality’” and are never “mere sources that divulge facts about ‘reality’” (LaCapra 1985, 11)
Trotz unzähliger Forschungsbeiträge zur Literaturnobelpreisträgerin Elfriede Jelinek und dem „Verweigerungskünstler“ Thomas Bernhard wurde den Verbindungslinien beider Autoren noch nie vergleichend nachgegangen. Der Band erschließt zum 30. Todestag Bernhards (u. 15 Jahre Nobelpreis für Jelinek) anschaulich ein breit gefächertes Spektrum an Themen, Perspektiven und Werken beider Schriftsteller im Vergleich. Mit einem Essay von Elfriede Jelinek.
The point of departure of this paper is the claim by Heyvaert, Maekelberghe & Buyle (2019) that the suffix -ing has no aspectual meaning in English gerunds. Rather, the interpretation of nominal and verbal gerunds depends, so they argue, on situation or viewpoint aspect, a claim that contradicts the wide-spread view that the aspectual meaning of English gerunds is brought about by the nominalizing suffix. The present paper addresses the issue from a comparative perspective, focusing on German ung-nominals: while they share aspectual features with their English counterparts, empirical evidence from productivity, distribution, and argument linking shows (i) that the derivational suffix -ung imposes aspectual restrictions on possible verb bases, and (ii) that with respect to argument linking, the deverbal nominal favors the state component of a complex event predicate over its process component. From the historical record of German, we learn that these aspectual restrictions do not hold for ung-nominals in earlier periods of German. With the rise of aspectual restrictions, the nominalization pattern turns more nominal resulting in a position further towards the nominal end of the deverbalization continuum. It appears, then, that it is only in the historical pariods of German that ung-nominals pattern with English nominals as regards their aspectual features. Currently, German ung-nominals are more noun-like than nominal (and verbal) gerunds in English. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Hippotheologie
(2019)
Isolated, yet at the same time, in an environment that is hostile to them, the four characters Jorg Wickram imagines in his novel > Gabriotto und Reinhart< are alone together, as the two doomed couples are all also bound to each other in friendship. The construction of paradoxes, calculated primarily for effect, appears to be one of the novels controlled narrative devices. Much like the narratological strategies of intensification, exaggeration and repetition, they are controlled artifices designed for impact, and well-thought-out gambits on the part of the author which he uses, above all, to continue and intensify the tradition of medieval storytelling, and less frequently to counterpose an alternative understanding. Time and again the author makes use of the potential of widespread literary concepts to demonstrate that the love described in the novel is unparalleled.
