Kontrastive Überlegungen: Schimpfen Lateiner anders als Deutsche? / Contrastive Reflections: Is Swearing in Latin Different from Swearing in German?

Jessica Ammer, University of Bonn (ORCID: 0000-0002-0945-3335)

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-1 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: invective, latin, german, contrastive linguistics

Swearing and cursing are immediate and obvious expressions of emotions. While this kind of communication almost certainly exists in almost all cultures and languages, studies about it are generally limited to the individual language, or are often conducted from a popular science perspective. As far as the German language is concerned, the use of insulting and swear words is associated with the discourse of scatology, morphologized and lexicalized in word formation, phraseologisms, etc. Yet, for the Latin language such analyses are almost completely missing. My contribution aims at a typological comparison of Latin and German, especially in the period of their direct contact – the Middle Ages.

Von Komplimenten, ihren Erwiderungen und Gefühlen sozialer Verbundenheit: Ein Beispiel zur Integration von Sprechakten im DaF-Unterricht / On Compliments, Good Vibes and Solidarity: An Example of Integrating Speech Acts into German Language Teaching

Berit Jany, University of Colorado (ORCID: 0000-0003-4555-6398)

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-3 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: compliments, compliment responses, teaching, interaction, conversation analysis

Compliments and compliment responses are social actions that reflect norms of politeness and solidarity among speakers. These compliment/responses are negotiated among interactants who employ varying response strategies in different language/culture environments. A lack of knowledge about preferred strategies may cause cultural misunderstandings and feelings of disconnectedness. This article provides a concrete plan for implementing a lesson on compliment/responses in advanced beginning German language courses. The lesson plan is informed by conversation analytical research and pursues a teaching approach that nurtures interactional competence for enabling students to utilize culturally appropriate response strategies to actively engage with speakers of the target culture, creating positive feelings of appreciation and social harmony.

Zur Vielfalt von Bezeichnungen für Migranten am lexikographischen Material / About the Diversity of Names Describing Migrants – On Lexicographical Material

Paulina Kaźmierczak, University of Łódź (ORCID: 0000-0002-6980-5988)

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-4 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: denotation, connotation, lexicography, migrants, dictionaries of Polish language

The purpose of this article is to present the vocabulary describing migrants over the history of the Polish language. The author conducts quantitative analysis and describes chosen expressions. The research material consists of 73 lexemes collected from 12 dictionaries of the Polish language. It should be emphasized that the dictionaries mentioned contain both Old Polish and modern lexemes. The emphasis here was placed on the examples found in three dictionaries: „Słownik języka polskiego” edited by Zdanowicz et al. (19th century), „Słownik języka polskiego” by Jan Karłowicz, Adam Kryński and Władysław Niedźwiedzki (20th century) and „Słownik języka polskiego” edited by Witold Doroszewski (20th century). The dictionaries mentioned above contain the largest number of names referring to migrants. The considerations presented in this paper not only refer to the lexical level, but also to historical and societal motivations that have contributed to the emergence of new terms of this kind.

Elementy konstrukcyjne lokomotywy spalinowej M62 w języku ukraińskim – problem zapożyczeń / Construction Elements of the Diesel Locomotive (M62) in Ukrainian Language – The Problem of Loanwords

Olga Kowalczyk, University of Wrocław (ORCID: 0000-0002-6116-2068)

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-5 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: technical terminology, railway terminology, loanwords, M62

The article analyzes the way terminology connected to the field of railway transport function in the Ukrainian language. The research material consists of examples of names separated from the cross-section of the M62 diesel locomotive. The analysis of the collected lexical material was carried out following the key of loanwords. The study shows that based on the Ukrainian language, the terms in the field of rail transport come mainly from ancient languages (Latin, Greek – 43% of collected research material). To a lesser extent, from English, French, German and Dutch. Moreover, the importance of the Russian language was pointed out, which should be considered the last link in the discussed process. In many cases, the appearance of the so-called “traveling loanwords” was observed.

Sozialpsychologie oder empirische Rhetorik? / Social Psychology or Empirical Rhetoric?

Piotr Lewiński, University of Wrocław (ORCID: 0000-0002-3243-217X)

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-6 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: persuasion, social psychology, rhetoric

For Aristotle, rhetoric was simply an applied technique of persuasion (techne rhetoriké), i. e. an aptitude or producing opinions. From today’s vantage point, it comprised not only the art of fine speech, but also the theory of communication, the theory of argumentation and the essentials of psychology and drama. The problem of multi-aspects of persuasion and argumentation was last comprehensively presented by Aristotle, who interrelated rhetoric with logic, the speaker’s ethos (reliability) and the theory of rhetorical affections, which were aimed at influencing the feelings of the listeners (pathos). It was not until the turn of the forties and fifties of the twentieth century that researchers took a new interest in techniques of exerting influence on people. The experimental methods of Carl Hovland, Fritz Heider, Leo Festinger and others have shaped the modern scientific formula of the old affections theory, now called social psychology. It follows that rhetoric and social psychology, the two fields of influencing people, are closely linked, what Aristotle was undoubtedly aware of. The aim of this article is to find an answer to the question about the relationship between the affections theory and social psychology: do we have the right to call it empirical rhetoric?

Cyprian Mielczarski, University of Warsaw (ORCID: 0000-0002-6420-6783)

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-7 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: rhetoric, classical ethics, public discourse, manipulation, political lie

The article concerns the matter connected with relations between political rhetoric and unethical manipulation leading to success in public sphere. The research tool are references to the tradition of classical ethics and to modern philosophers like Derrida and Hannah Arendt. The background of discussion is offensive nature of public discourse and decline of political tactics striving for the common good. I am also referring to the significance of lie in European culture from era of Homer to our times. In this context, the most difficult question to discuss is the exact definition of a political lie, because it is hard to refer a true/ false dichotomy regarding political worldviews. In conclusion I am presenting the research methodology that distinguishes manipulation from sound political action.

Kulturmarkierter Wortschatz des Deutschen: Plurikulturalität und -regionalität / Culture Marked Vocabulary of German: Pluriculturality and – Regionality

Lyubov Nefedova, Moscow State Pedagogical University (ORCID: 0000-0002-2871-895X)

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-9 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: culture marked vocabulary, pluriculturality and –regionality, nomination of realia, polyonymy, pluri-, inter- and transcultural concept, diatopic / regional variety of dimension

The article focuses on the thesis that the culture marked vocabulary of German expresses pluriculturality and – regionality and evokes lexical polyonymy. This is analyzed and described in the framework of a linguo-cultural research based on selected nominations of realia in German inside and outside the German-speaking cultural area (DACH region and Russia), which are tied to pluri-, inter- and transcultural concepts. It should be noted that the lexical polyonymy in the culturally marked vocabulary of German is to a great extent a specific expression of the linguistic diatopic / regional variety structure.

Semantisch-syntaktische Analyse von Konstruktionen nach dem Ansatz von Adele Goldberg / A Semantico-Syntactic Analysis of Constructions: Adele Goldberg’s Constructionist Approach

Iwona Nowakowska-Kempna, Jan Długosz University in Czestochowa (ORCID: 0000–0002–8043–1374)

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-10 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: construction of grammar, prepositional constructions, phrasemes, inductive theory of language, meaning as a way of using words in context

The author analyses prepositional constructions along the lines of Goldberg’s cognitive construction grammar. The paper starts with a discussion of Goldberg’s definition of a construction and the main theoretical assumptions of her approach. The semantic analysis of a construction is based on its contextual meaning as related to the speech event and then subsequently related to its conceptual frame, that is, its predicate-argument structure. Such an analysis of prepositional constructions allows a much wider scope of a construction than has been so far considered. It also allows the analyst to identify an abundance of a series of phrasemes which have not been accounted for even when analysing a single particular preposition (the Polish preposition ‘w’: ‘in’) in dictionaries or the studies of prepositions.

Die interaktionale Prozessierung von Emotionen in Instruktionssituationen / Processing Emotions in Interactive Instructional Settings

Heike Ortner, University of Innsbruck (ORCID: 0000-0001-5438-1580)

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-11 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: Instructions, Interactional Linguistics, affective stance, multimodality

This article features a short review of analyzing affective stance in interaction. Additionally, it exemplifies strategies of processing emotions in instructional settings by contrasting Pilates and physical therapy in neurorehabilitation. For example, negative emotions during physical therapy are handled with verbal or bodily means. The emotional state while doing Pilates is associated with the relationship between trainer and client, with group cohesion, with having fun during physical activity and with sustaining motivation. The corpus for the multimodal analysis are video tapings of natural interactions.

Auch das Beschimpfen ist eine Art, miteinander zu reden / Even Insulting is a Way of Talking to Each Other

Witold Sadziński, University of Łódź (ORCID: 0000-0003-4999-7545)

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-12 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: emotions, swearwords, hate speech, sociolinguistics, pragmalinguistics

Emotions are an indispensable part of human life, and consequently of speech. On the other hand, they are put under pressure by the culture – not least by the good nursery – so that, politely, one does not always express directly what is important to one‘s heart. Goethe summed it up in Faust II as follows: “In German you lie when you are polite” (see also Szczęk 2012). Sometimes, however, one is forced to let the emotion run wild. This is exemplified in the article on Günter Grass’ Hundejahre and Peter Handke’s Publikumsbeschimpfung. On the other hand, the article focuses on an important aspect of the subconscious emotive, namely verbal aggression as a substitute for assault. The author joins Meinunger (2017: 11 f.), where he says: “Ranting is much better than his reputation. […] It is essentially a substitute for physical violence. […] must be seen as a victory of culture over nature.” At the same time he is contradicted when he also summarizes hate speech under ranting.

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-13 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: trade name, beer, semantics, onomastics

The aim of the study is to classify trade names of beer occurring in the Polish language. The collected material comprises 700 trade names of beer. Names of beer were divided according to their meaning into the two basic groups: the names of direct motivation and names of conventional motivation. The paper has shown that among the Polish beer names the dominating group are monolexic nouns. The most numerous groups are place names and related to them. There is a tendency to form sophisticated names.

Claudia Wich-Reif, University of Bonn (ORCID: 0000-0002-1434-9604)

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-14 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: Linguistic Routines, Routine Formulas, Emotional Speaking, Language and Politics

Linguistic routines are characteristic for human communication. They give the communication partners a certain security. This allows the producer to take the time to structure the content of the following in an appropriate way. They belong to certain rituals: the recipient has the opportunity to adopt a certain attitude towards what is expected before making a statement. The paper starts from a case that is not that frequently used in contemporary German, but salient, namely „Ehrlich gesagt, ... “, and examines the functions of routine formulas in emotional language / in emotional speaking and also which changes they are subject to.

Keywords: adjectonyms, accentological laws, morphonological functions of the stress

In the article, suggested peculiarities of the stress of Ukrainian adjectonyms are investigated, also from the multilateral point of view. The proposed article explores the morphonological functions of stress in adjectival word-formation. It is emphasized that with all its specificity the system of the accent of Ukrainian adjectonyms is subject to the main accentuation laws of Ukrainian language. It has been established that stress is the most important means by which a word is formed. Morphological accent origins consists in morphological derivativeness which is displayed in that derivative either preserves the base of producing word and him accentuation, or transforms them for some standard rules.

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-19 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: Bernese German dialect, Zurich German dialect, speechcomprehension, vowelreduction, consonantweakening

The article is dedicated to studying the assimilative processes in the Bernese German phonetics. It points out the dynamic character of the modern Bernese German sound system and shows that the realization of the Bernese German vowels and consonants is influenced by both, the other Swiss German dialects especially the Zurich German on the one hand and the Standard German language on the other. The Bernese German vowel and consonant system develops in accordance with the universal principles such as saving of pronunciation efforts and acceleration of the speech tempo. Thus, it is subject to modifications like sound weakening, co-articulation or redistribution of syllables. At the same time, there still remain specific characteristics of the Bernese sounds realization that are connected to pronunciation habits of Bernese dialect speakers. These include the complete muting of semi-voiced consonants, the use of transient sounds in the intervocalic position at the syllable and word boundaries as well as the high functional strain of the vocalic allophone of the phoneme. /l/.

Viktoriia Kochubei, Volodymyr Vynnychenko Central Ukrainian State Pedagogical University (ORCID: 0000-0003-0015-6884)

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-20 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: non-native accent, phonetic interference, deviations from standard pronunciation, articulatory basis, foreign language acquisition

The paper explores the origin of a foreign accent in non-native speech. Deviations from the pronunciation norm in the articulation of English vowels and consonants by Ukrainian learners of English form a dynamic system of specific features correlating with the degree of foreign language competence. Phonetic interference of native language production and perception habits into the foreign language performance has its psychological and linguistic reasons. Divergence of phonological and phonetic features of native and foreign languages, automated articulations transferred into the foreign speech shape the specific character of the foreign accent. The contrastive analysis of the articulatory bases of English and Ukrainian as well as the analysis of actual phonetic deviations enabled to single out salient features of Ukrainian English accent.

DOI: 10.23817/lingtreff.16-25 (published online: 2020-02-29)

Keywords: word phonemic structure, free phonemic variation, alternative pronunciations, Received Pronunciation, teaching pronunciation model

The paper presents the results of analysis of free phonemic variation in word phonemic structures in RP as its striking feature. Alternative pronunciation variants of words are created by vowels, consonants, and a combination of both when in free variation in a segmental composition of words. Free phonemic variation is conditioned by the position / phonetic environment of the alternating phoneme(s) in a word. The positional specification of free phonemic variation and the operation of a number of other factors substantiate the inner systemic character of free phoneme variation in the composition of English words in PR. EFL learners should be aware of existing alternative variants of words and their liability for change in the course of time.

Keywords: phoneme, phonosemantics, phonostilistics, sound design, rhyming discourse

The vocal side of language has aroused the interest of scientists and researchers since antiquity. This direction in linguistic research is still relevant today, as evidenced by numerous treatises and experiments. In the present contribution, the authors tried to generalize and to analyze the most important means of phonostilistics and their realization in different types of rhyming discourse, such as nursery rhymes, children’s poems, puzzles, lyrical poems etc. It has been proved very clearly that alliteration, assonance, phonetic imitation, phonetic symbolism as well as linguistic design are characterized by the aesthetic function as well. They create a special atmosphere in a finished work and thus achieve a certain emotional influence not only on the listener but also on the reader. This realizes the existence of the finest thread between the author and the auditorium, for which his rhyming work is forseen.

The philological pronunciation training is based on scientific knowledge from the field of phonology and phonetics, which are then worked out in the so-called phonodidactics. However, it is not uncommon for phonological approaches to be hardly applicable in foreign language didactics. In this context, the well-known theory of distinctive features is a prime example. In this article, principles are formulated that optimize the effectiveness of foreign language didactic phonetics.

Keywords: foreign language teaching, early foreign language teaching, didactics in primary education

The role of foreign language teaching at an early age is proving very important today for a variety of reasons. There are various approaches to this topic in the literature, many of which point out that in the development of the human brain, certain phases can be identified that should be taken into account in foreign language learning. These phases are referred to in the literature using the time window metaphor. The various aspects of language learning by young learners will be addressed in the volume published in 2019, the results of which will be presented in the paper.

Keywords: politeness, Polish, German

Politeness is a phenomenon that has recently been linguistically studied. These are linguistic forms and formulas that can be used in certain communication situations. The so-called pragmatic component plays an important role here. This is particularly evident in the case of interspecific confrontation. This can be helped by bilingual lexicographical works, which can be of great help to all a foreign language learner. The article discusses the advantages of the recently published lexicographical works of Małgorzata Marcjanik, Silvia Bonacchi, and Agnieszka Frączek: Polsko-niemiecki słownik etykiety językowej.
