This book is concerned with the diachronic development of selected topic and focus markers in Spanish, Portuguese and French. On the one hand, it focuses on the development of these structures from their relational meaning to their topic-/ focus-marking meaning, and on the other hand, it is concerned with their current form und use. Thus, Romance topic and focus markers – such as sp. en cuanto a, pt. a propósito de, fr. au niveau de or sentence-initial sp. Lo que as well as clefts and pseudo-clefts – are investigated from a quantitative and qualitative perspective. The author argues that topic markers have procedural meaning and that their function is bound to their syntactic position. An important contribution of this study is the fact that real linguistic evidence (in the form of data from various corpora) is analyzed instead of operating with constructed examples.
This paper is concerned with constructions that express probability and their interaction with the indicative and subjunctive mood, as well as with other contextual elements. In detail, the paper deals with the constructions [sin duda + indicative/subjunctive], [tal vez + indicative/subjunctive], [probablemente + indicative/subjunctive] and [posiblemente + indicative/subjunctive]. In their interaction with mood, the constructions are understood as different microconstructions. For example, [sin duda + indicative] and [sin duda + subjunctive] are seen as different microconstructions of the superordinate
mesoconstruction [modal construction (of probability) + verb]. In a qualitative analysis examples from the CREA, CORPES XXI, and CdE corpora are examined regarding the interaction of [expression of probability] + [mood]. Following the Principle of No Synonymy of Grammatical Forms, the analysis confirms that the use of mood additionally influences the expressed degree of probability of the constructions. For instance, while probablemente generally expresses a slightly higher probability than posiblemente, a fine-tuned analysis
shows that the expressed degrees of probability of [probablemente + subjunctive] and [posiblemente + indicative] are highly similar. This is also often confirmed by further contextual information. In summary, the paper shows that Cognitive Construction Grammar is
a very suitable background against which to investigate modal phenomena, as cognitive approaches generally deal with the ways in which language users conceptualize the world from their own point of view, and as expressions of modality, more precisely, probability,
are also closely related to speakers’ attitudes or perspectives.
Este estudioanalizócómose evoca la oralidad ficcional en la novela Rosario Tijerasa través de la variación lingüística. Para ello, se analizóun corpus de veinteunidades fraseológicas presentes en la novela y su traducción al alemán. En esta novela negra, el autor recurrióa un lenguaje coloquial llamado parlache. Este artículo, por tanto,se pretenderá establecer cómo estas unidades fraseológicas típicas del parlachecontribuyerona la construcción de un diálogo hablado verosímil, además de determinar las divergencias de traducción y profundizar en la descripción de la variación lingüística a través de las unidades fraseológicas.
Remembering German- Australian Colonial Entanglements emphatically promotes a critical and nuanced understanding of the complex entanglement of German colonial actors and activities within Australian colonial institutions and different imperial ideologies.
Case studies ranging from the German reception of James Cook's voyages through to the legacies of 19th- and 20th- century settler colonialism foreground the highly ambiguous roles played by explorers, missionaries, intellectuals and other individuals, as well as by objects and things that travelled between worlds - ancestral human remains, rare animal skins, songs and even military tanks. The chapters foreground the complex relationship between science, religion, art and exploitation, displacement and annihilation. Contributors trace how these entanglements have been commemorated or forgotten over time - by Germans, settler-Australians and Indigenous people.
Bringing to light a critical understanding of the German involvement in the Australian colonial project, Remembering German- Australian Colonial Entanglements will be of great interest to scholars of colonialism, postcolonialism, German Studies and Indigenous Studies. But for the editors' substantial new introductory chapter, these contributions originally appeared in a special issue of Postcolonial Studies.
The notion of ‘epiphenomenon’ is usually used to exclude certain
aspects of a scientific object because they are considered to be deduced from others. In linguistics, restrictions of the research object were made, invoking the notion of ‘epiphenomenon’, which was partially done with a polemical attitude, and was always responded to polemically. The best-known definition of languages as an epiphenomenon is that proposed by Chomsky, who declared that the specific realisations of language do not warrant scientific attention, but there were early relegations of properties of individual languages to the domain of an epiphenomenon of grammar, to the domain of an art and not a science. These relegations from a certain point of abstraction did advance theories of language, even though they took a point of abstraction that did not correspond to the complexity of language.
El presente estudio revela elementos lingüísticos que existen entre dos variedades del español y determina en qué medida estos aportes son relevantes para la enseñanza del español como lengua extranjera. Por medio de un contraste lingüístico de textos audiovisuales entre dos cortometrajes auténticos, provenientes de México y España y bajo la temática del fenómeno social del bullying, se hizo un análisis comparativo entre los resultados del contraste. El objetivo principal es evidenciar combinaciones sintácticas, elementos léxicos, pragmáticos y semánticos que existen entre las distintas formas de expresión de las dos hablas. Los resultados obtenidos muestran componentes significantes de la lengua, que confirman la importancia de tratar el tema de las variedades del español en el aula, desde una perspectiva tanto didáctica como socio-cultural.
La guerre et le témoin
(2020)
En 2012, l’écrivain Jonathan Littell s’est rendu dans la ville syrienne de Homs, marquée par la guerre civile, pour rendre compte de cette guerre dans le quotidien Le Monde. Toutefois, il a publié ses notes non seulement sous la forme d’une série d’articles, mais aussi comme un livre indépendant. Dans ce contexte, la question se pose de savoir pourquoi cette décision a été prise. Le statut de témoin de guerre acquiert-il une qualité différente avec une autre forme de publication ? En outre, il faut souligner la problématique de la recontextualisation et de l’esthétisation du reportage quotidien de guerre à travers une allocation formelle et archi-textuelle de l’écrit du domaine journalistique au domaine littéraire. Car la publication d’un journal de guerre édité doit s’inscrire dans une longue tradition, comme on l’appellera dans l’article à l’exemple des œuvres d’Ernst Jünger, dont les relations avec l’écriture de Jonathan Littell sont à remettre en question ici.
A Prophet of Divine Wisdom?
(2020)
In the nineteenth century, the reception of Giambattista Vico’s writings came along with nationalist interpretations of his Scienza Nuova as an ‘Italian Science’. This tendency was based upon an increased examination of the role that the philosopher Pythagoras and his Italian school of Croton played in Vico’s hierarchical conception of the ancient Greek and Italian civilizations. Writers, archaeologists and historians used the New Science as a metonymic reference work for their own nationalist concepts by updating the Pythagorean myth in accordance with relevant narratives of exclusive genealogies concerning an ancient Italian wisdom. These narratives follow tendencies in Vico’s own writings that were quoted strategically and mixed with further interpretations of the Scienza Nuova as reliable testimonial for a glorious Italian history. A theological poet characterized by deeper insight into the secrets of nature and some parts of the divine providence, Pythagoras gains his special position in Vico’s general conception of knowledge.
LiebeLesen
(2020)
Unsere Vorlesung versucht, einem verführerisch vielfältigen und unendlich verwirrenden Thema näher und auf die Schliche zu kommen: der Liebe. Und zugleich einer Tätigkeit und kulturellen Praxis, die Literatur erst zum Leben erweckt: dem Lesen. Was haben Leben und Liebe mit dem Lesen, mit dem Akt der Lektüre zu tun? Es geht beim Lesen immer um die Sehnsucht nach einer Ganzheit von Leben und Liebe, um die Herstellung jener Totalität, die uns Menschen im realen Leben grundlegend entzogen ist. Allein die Literatur erlaubt es uns, über die Totalität eines Lebens mit seinen Anfängen und seinen Enden zu verfügen. Und genau dies gilt auch und gerade für die Liebe und deren Geschichten und Vorgeschichten.
Von der Liebe und dem Abendland (Denis de Rougemont) bis zu den Fragmenten einer Sprache der Liebe (Roland Barthes), den Schreibformen des Marquis de Sade, von Giacomo Casanova oder Italo Calvino über die Liebes- und Lesekristallisationen Prousts bis hin zur Liebe in den Zeiten der Cholera (Gabriel García Márquez), von der Liebe zwischen zwei Dichtern und der Transzendenz ihres Begehrens (Juana Borrero) zu den Liebesgeschichten zwischen den Sprachen und Kulturen (Assia Djebar), hin zu den Theorien der Liebesgeschichten nach der Liebe (Michel Houellebecq), von Tristan und Isolde über Don Juan sowie Romeo und Julia bis zu Sab, Emma Bovary und den Versatzstücken aktueller Massenkommunikation zwischen Lese- und Liebesrevolution soll das Verhältnis von Liebe, Leben und Lesen, von Literatur und Leidenschaft leidenschaftslos analysiert werden.
ReiseSchreiben
(2020)
Reiseliteratur besaß als Genre bis weit in die zweite Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts weitgehend marginale Bedeutung und wurde bestenfalls dokumentarisch gelesen oder sozialwissenschaftlich »ausgewertet«. Heute gehört sie zu jenen literarischen Vermittlungsformen, in denen sich am eindringlichsten die Probleme der (europäischen) Moderne, aber auch aktuelle transkulturelle Herausforderungen, Erfahrungsmodi, Projektionen und Sehnsüchte reflektieren. Der vorliegende Band behandelt Reiseliteratur systematisch wie historisch und stellt die Frage nach den ökonomischen, sozialen und politischen Hintergründen des Reisens, nach der Entwicklung der Gattung seit der frühen Neuzeit, nach den Strukturierungen reiseliterarisch dargestellter hermeneutischer Bewegungen, aber auch nach den Figuren von Reisenden und Lesenden. Im Zentrum stehen französisch-, spanisch- und italienischsprachige Reisen(de), aber auch deutsch- und englischsprachige Texte seit der Frühen Neuzeit sowie reiseliterarische Ausdrucksformen des ausgehenden 20. und beginnenden 21. Jahrhunderts. Sagt uns die Reiseliteratur, wohin die Reise unserer Gesellschaften geht?
This article presents and discusses João Guimarães Rosa as an outstanding Brazilian author whose literary work, especially Sagarana, expresses aesthetically different ways of life-forms between human beings, animals, plants, and landscapes. Movement and transformations are the basic principles in which the melody of prose expresses itself as a language in and as motion. Although based in Brazilian culture, Rosa shows the conviviality of different logics which are not reduced to one myth of the Brazilian people, but produce multiple ways of co-existence between different life-forms and culture narratives. The translingual title “Sagarana” already alludes to the transitions between two languages, regions, and cultures: the Icelandic “saga-” and the Tupic-Word “rana” which means “similar” or “alike.” The interpretation figures out the correlation of different provenances (“Herkünfte”) which emerge from Rosa’s craft of storytelling. In its center, the Sertão arises as a region of nature whose forces are connected with the life of human beings. As fractal of the world, it symbolizes Brazilian relations as a world of its own and at the same time as a part of the world of others. From this point of view the essay turns world literature upside down: it emphasizes on the one hand that the epoch of world literature since Goethe has come to an end and that the meridian has shifted to Latin America. On the other hand it can be observed that the lusophonic world between Brazil and Angola, Portugal and Kap Verde develops new perspectives on literatures of the world beyond the fixed coordinations of periphery and center. Rosa’s ways of world making already shift the perspective from the local to the global as a miniatured model of a universe which reveals interpretations of a better understanding of the world as world fractals.
