This contribution analyses the textual strategies in Danup’s literary dialogue, which is enriched in many ways with literary topoi and rhetorical devices. It is, in fact, a specialised text on the art of horsemanship, which proves to be surprisingly innovative in this regard. However, it is not only relevant to the hippological, but also to the political culture of the early modern period. For the author updates a literary genre pattern, takes up literary traditions and uses aesthetic means for successful self-promotion as an expert.
Intertextualität in deutschen Rap-Texten und ihr didaktischer Nutzen für den Deutschunterricht
(2018)
Der Fokus der Arbeit liegt auf Texten des Genres Deutschrap. Untersucht werden diese Primärquellen in Hinblick auf Formen und Funktionen von Intertextualität und wie diese für die Vermittlung von Unterrichtsinhalten im Deutschunterricht eingesetzt werden können. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Arbeit in einen literaturtheoretischen Teil und einen didaktischen Teil gegliedert. Zunächst erfolgt ein Überblick zum Begriff der Intertextualität und der verwendeten Terminologie. Danach wird erklärt, inwiefern Rap sich als literarische Gattung begreifen lässt, bevor die spezielle Beschaffenheit und der Stellenwert intertextueller Referenzen in deutschen Rap-Texten untersucht werden. Im Anschluss werden intertextuelle Phänomene in Rap-Texten kategorisiert, erläutert und anhand exemplarischer Rap-Zeilen belegt. Im didaktischen Teil der Arbeit münden die Ergebnisse schließlich im Entwurf einer Unterrichtssequenz zu dem Thema Intertextualität.
Introduction
(2018)
The present thematic set of studies comprises five concise review articles on the use of priming paradigms in different areas of bilingualism research. Their aim is to provide readers with a quick overview of how priming paradigms can be employed in particular subfields of bilingualism research and to make readers aware of the methodological issues that need to be considered when using priming techniques.
The review describes how morphological priming can be utilised to study the processing of morphologically complex words in bilinguals. The article starts with an overview of established experimental paradigms based on morphological priming, discusses a number of basic methodological pitfalls with regard to experimental design and materials, then reviews previous L2 morphological priming studies, and concludes with a brief discussion of recent developments in the field as well as possible future directions.
The present work deals with the variation in the linearisation of German infinitival complements from a diachronic perspective. Based on the observation that in present-day German the position of infinitival complements is restricted by properties of the matrix verb (Haider, 2010, Wurmbrand, 2001), whereas this appears much more liberal in older stages of German (Demske, 2008, Maché and Abraham, 2011, Demske, 2015), this dissertation investigates the emergence of those restrictions and the factors that have led to a reduced, yet still existing variability. The study contrasts infinitival complements of two types of matrix verbs, namely raising and control verbs. In present-day German, these show different syntactic behaviour and opposite preferences as far as the position of the infinitive is concerned: while infinitival complements of raising verbs build a single clausal domain with the with the matrix verb and occur obligatorily intraposed, infinitive complements of control verbs can form clausal constituents and occur predominantly extraposed. This correlation is not attested in older stages of German, at least not until Early New High German.
Drawing on diachronic corpus data, the present work provides a description of the changes in the linearisation of infinitival complements from Early New High German to present-day German which aims at finding out when the correlation between infinitive type and word order emerged and further examines their possible causes. The study shows that word order change in German infinitival complements is not a case of syntactic change in the narrow sense, but that the diachronic variation results from the interaction of different language-internal and language-external factors and that it reflects, on the one hand, the influence of language modality on the emerging standard language and, on the other hand, a process of specialisation.
Quo vadis, Rechtschreibrat?
(2018)
Im nachfolgenden Essay habe ich das Ziel gesetzt, die Entscheidung des Rats für deutsche Recht-schreibung, gewisse Fremdwortvariantenschreibungen aus dem Wörterverzeichnis zu streichen, vorwiegend anhand des Beispiels fachlich zu beleuchten und sich anhand dessen kritisch mit der Arbeit des Rechtschreibrats auseinanderzusetzen. Die dahinterstehende Didaktik wird selten explizit erwähnt, spielt in den Gedankengängen jedoch stets implizit eine Rolle.
Aiming at the same target
(2018)
Aims and objectives/purpose/research questions: We compared the processing of morphologically complex derived vs. inflected forms in native speakers of German and highly proficient native Russian second language (L2) learners of German. Design/methodology/approach: We measured morphological priming effects for derived and inflected German words. To ensure that priming effects were genuinely morphological, the design also contained semantic and orthographic control conditions. Data and analysis: 40 native speakers of German and 36 native Russian learners of L2 German participated in a masked-priming lexical-decision experiment. For both participant groups, priming effects for derived vs. inflected words were compared using linear mixed effects models. Findings/conclusions: While first language (L1) speakers showed similar facilitation effects for both derived and inflected primes, L2 speakers showed a difference between the two prime types, with robust priming effects only for derived, but not for inflected forms. Originality: Unlike in previous studies investigating derivation and inflection in L2 processing, priming effects for derived and inflected prime-target pairs were determined on the basis of the same target word, allowing for a direct comparison between the two morphological phenomena. In this respect, this is the first study to directly compare the processing of derived vs. inflected forms in L2 speakers. Significance/implications: The results are inconsistent with accounts predicting general L1/L2 differences for all types of morphologically complex forms as well as accounts assuming that L1 and L2 processing are based on the same mechanisms. We discuss theoretical implications for L2 processing mechanisms, and propose an explanation which can account for the data pattern.
