Language Sketch Romanian
Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, State University of New York at Stony Brook (Linguistics), course: Phonetics, 5 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Romanian is a Romance language, and as such part of the Indo-European language family. This language sketch will make an attempt at outlining Daco-Romanian. Daco- Romanian is one of four types of Balkan Romance, and among these it is by far the mostspoken - Daco-Romanian (hereafter referred to as Romanian again for reasons of simplicity) has some 21 million speakers, most of whom live in today's Romania and Moldavia, while the other three types are spoken by only a few thousand speakers each. Romanian itself has two principal dialects, Moldavian and Muntenian. The latter is the one that underlies the literary language that developed in the 18th century and it is based on the language spoken in Bucharest, and it is also the dialect this phonetic approach will come closest to.
A Guide to Swabian
Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, State University of New York at Stony Brook (Linguistics), course: Phonetics, 8 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: This guide to Swabian is aimed at American college and university students who have an interest in language and who have studied German for at least a year, and of course for anyone else interested in the subject. The aim is to make people who are already familiar with the general phonetic patterns of German and English aware of how extremely different Swabian, as an example of one of the many and diverse dialects of German, can sound from the textbook Standard Germ...
On Vowel Fronting in German
Essay from the year 2005 in the subject American Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, State University of New York at Stony Brook (Linguistics), course: Phonology, language: English, abstract: Throughout the history of phonology, there have been numerous attempts to explain the phenomenon of vowel fronting in German. Even OT is left with a number of problems when tackling German vowel fronting - because the process seems to originate from around the interface of phonology and morphology; because the phenomenon only seems to behave in more or less generalizable patterns; and because there is a lot of inter-speaker and intraspeaker variation. This paper will start out by describing umlauting and umlaut-triggering conditions in some detail. The description will be followed by a brief overview of the most dominant ideas that had been brought forward in pre-OT literature, and the paper will close with a suggestion of a possible constraint-ranking responsible for umlauting, not forgetting the problems that remain even in an OT-based account.
Light at Play in Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'The Scarlet Letter'
Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Freiburg, course: HS American Classics of the 19th Century, 13 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: When he was engaged to marry Sophia Amelia Peabody, a painter who copied the works of famed contemporaries with "widespread praise", Nathaniel Hawthorne was awaiting two pictures she had produced "expressly for him." (both GOLLIN 2001: 114)1 In a letter he assured her: I never owned a picture in my life; yet pictures have always been among the earthly possessions (and they are spiritual possessions too) which I most coveted. (...) I have often felt as if I could be a pa...
Aspects of Civility in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Tubingen, course: Proseminar II: Jane Austen, 13 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Decisive parts of both plot and meaning of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are conveyed by means of conversations. "In them the word becomes an authentic deed", as H. BABB puts it. In linguistic terms, conversation is discourse - and discourse is necessarily social discourse. Taking into consideration that Jane Austen's age "was an age of society's predominance, when man was viewed primarily as a social creature", and that "'ways of putting things', or simply...
Greenberg's Universal 28 Revisited
Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, University of Freiburg, course: HS Morphology, 20 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: As one of its most important theories, Functional Typology (FT) is a highly empirical approach to all fields of linguistics. Joseph Greenberg of Stanford University, the classic representative of FT, wrote Language Universals, the seminal work that constituted FT, in 19661. FT is called typology because it classifies languages into types according to their features as opposed to generic classifications that group languages according to their language families. It is called...

Emily Dickinson's "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain" - Hearing a Plank in Reason Break
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 1,7, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen, Veranstaltung: PS Amerikanische Lyrik, 12 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Begräbnisse zogen sich wie ein roter Faden durch das Leben von Emily Dickinson. Generell war der Tod im 19. Jahrhundert noch präsenter, die Menschen starben in jüngerem Alter. So erlebte auch Dickinson bereits in jungen Jahren das Sterben einiger ihr wichtiger Menschen (Ferlazzo 41). Vor allem aber grenzte das Familienanwesen an einen Friedhof, so dass Dickinson in regelmäßigen Abständen Trauergemeinden an ihrem Fenster vorbeiziehen sah (Ferlazzo 42). Wenn Dickinson ...
Truman Capote’s Nonfiction Novel "In Cold Blood" and Bennett Miller’s Biopic "Capote"
Examination Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1, University of Freiburg, language: English, abstract: When In Cold Blood was first published, critics had a hard time categorizing the book. Capote himself held that he had written a “nonfiction novel (Capote in Plimpton 1966: 2)” and that he had thereby created an altogether new genre. In the subtitle, Capote stresses his central claim regarding this new genre, assuring the reader that what she is about to delve into is “a true account of a multiple murder and its consequences (Capote 2000 [1966]).” As will be seen in the opening chapter, criticism of In Cold Blood has...
L1 Effekte durch L2 Spracherwerb
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Romanistik - Spanische Sprache, Literatur, Landeskunde, Note: 1,0, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg (Romanisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: HS Kognition und Zweitspracherwerb, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Bevor der Versuch unternommen wird, die Vorzüge des Schichtungsmodells der Sprache von Glinz nachzuzeichnen, soll ein Blick darauf geworfen werden, welche, wenn auch nicht sehr stark beachteten, Versuche es bereits gibt, die Forschungslücke der L2-L1 Effekte zu schließen. Dabei soll zunächst Kecskes und Papps recht elaborierte Idee der Common Underlying Conceptual Base in Augenschein genommen werden. Anschließend werden wir uns mit dem Ko...
