  • Mapping Topographies in the Anglo and German Narratives of Joseph Conrad, Anna Seghers, James Joyce, and Uwe Johnson
    MAPPING TOPOGRAPHIES IN THE ANGLO AND GERMAN NARRATIVES OF JOSEPH CONRAD, ANNA SEGHERS, JAMES JOYCE, AND UWE JOHNSON DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kristy Rickards Boney, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by: Professor Helen Fehervary, Advisor Professor John Davidson Professor Jessica Prinz Advisor Graduate Program in Professor Alexander Stephan Germanic Languages and Literatures Copyright by Kristy Rickards Boney 2006 ABSTRACT While the “space” of modernism is traditionally associated with the metropolis, this approach leaves unaddressed a significant body of work that stresses non-urban settings. Rather than simply assuming these spaces to be the opposite of the modern city, my project rejects the empty term space and instead examines topographies, literally meaning the writing of place. Less an examination of passive settings, the study of topography in modernism explores the action of creating spaces—either real or fictional which intersect with a variety of cultural, social, historical, and often political reverberations. The combination of charged elements coalesce and form a strong visual, corporeal, and sensory-filled topography that becomes integral to understanding not only the text and its importance beyond literary studies. My study pairs four modernists—two writing in German and two in English: Joseph Conrad and Anna Seghers and James Joyce and Uwe Johnson. All writers, having experienced displacement through exile, used topographies in their narratives to illustrate not only their understanding of history and humanity, but they also wrote narratives which concerned a larger global ii community.

  • A Comparison of the Helen Lowe-Porter and David Luke
    Strategies in Translation: A Comparison of the Helen Lowe-Porter and David Luke Translations of Thomas Mann’s Tonio Kröger, Tristan and Der Tod in Venedig within the Context of Contemporary Translation Theory Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Erfurt vorgelegt von John Richard Morton Gledhill aus Huddersfield Erfurt, 2001 urn:nbn:de:gbv:547-200300472 [http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn=nbn%3Ade%3Agbv%3A547-200300472] ii Erstes Gutachten: Prof. Dr. Fritz-Wilhelm Neumann (Universität Erfurt) Zweites Gutachten: Prof. Dr. Karlfried Knapp (Universität Erfurt) Prof. (em.) Dr. Thomas Gardner (Universität Göttingen) Datum der Promotion: 19. 6. 2003 iii To Madeleine iv Zusammenfassung Thomas Manns drei Geschichten Tonio Kröger, Tristan und Der Tod in Venedig werden mit deren Übersetzungen von Helen Lowe-Porter und David Luke verglichen. Aus dem Vergleich lässt sich feststellen, dass Lowe-Porters Übersetzungen gravierende Fehler aufzeigen, während die von Luke im Grunde genommen zuverlässig sind. Auch die Lukeschen Übersetzungen scheitern aber, wenn sie mit den poetischen, philosophischen und humoristischen Aspekten Thomas Manns Prosa konfrontiert sind. Anhand vieler Beispiele werden alternative literarische Übersetzungsstrategien diskutiert, die zu einer neuen Übersetzungstheorie führen: dem strategischen Ansatz. Auf Wittgensteins Sprachspieltheorie basierend wird der Begriff Treue (wortgetreu) neu definiert. Bei diesem Ansatz spielt die Übersetzung dasselbe Sprachspiel wie bei dem Ausgangstext. Summary Thomas Mann’s three stories Tonio Kröger, Tristan and Der Tod in Venedig are compared with the translations by Helen Lowe-Porter and David Luke respectively. From the comparison, it emerges that Lowe-Porter’s translations are deeply flawed whereas those of Luke are generally reliable.

  • The Interaction Between Telicity and Agentivity: Experimental Evidence from Intransitive Verbs in German and Chinese
    Originally published in: Lingua vol. 200 (2017), pp. 84-106. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lingua.2017.08.006 POSTPRINT a,b,* a a a,b Tim Graf , Markus Philipp , Xiaonan Xu , Franziska Kretzschmar , a Beatrice Primus a Institute of German Language and Literature I, University of Cologne, Albertus-Magnus-Platz, 50923 Cologne, Germany b CRC 1252 Prominence in Language, University of Cologne, Germany The interaction between telicity and agentivity: Experimental evidence from intransitive verbs in German and Chinese Abstract: Telicity and agentivity are semantic factors that split intransitive verbs into (at least two) different classes. Clear-cut unergative verbs, which select the auxiliary HAVE, are assumed to be atelic and agent-selecting; unequivocally unaccusative verbs, which select the auxiliary BE, are analyzed as telic and patient-selecting. Thus, agentivity and telicity are assumed to be inversely correlated in split intransitivity. We will present semantic and experimental evidence from German and Mandarin Chinese that casts doubts on this widely held assumption. The focus of our experimental investigation lies on variation with respect to agentivity (specifically motion control, manipulated via animacy), telicity (tested via a locative vs. goal adverbial), and BE/HAVE-selection with semantically flexible intransitive verbs of motion. Our experimental methods are acceptability ratings for German and Chinese (Experiments 1 and 2) and event-related potential (ERP) measures for German (Experiment 3). Our findings contradict the above- mentioned assumption that agentivity and telicity are generally inversely correlated and suggest that for the verbs under study, agentivity and telicity harmonize with each other. Furthermore, the ERP measures reveal that the impact of the interaction under discussion is more pronounced on the verb lexeme than on the auxiliary.

Submission Date: 15.08.2019 I confirm that this bachelor’s thesis in informatics is my own work and I have docu- mented all sources and material used. Munich, 15.08.2019 Maximilian Stark Acknowledgments I am highly indebted to Prof. Klinker for her openness and for forwarding my project ideas to her scientific staff. I would also like to express my gratitude to my advisor Christian Eichhorn for his guidance and helpful comments as well as the building materials for the physical prototype. He helped me greatly with setting goals and staying on the right path for this bachelor’s thesis. Furthermore, I’d like to thank Pierre Suchacek for managing and hosting the two evaluations at the nursing home. Having someone with experience treating Alzheimer’s patients properly and with due respect helped the evaluation rounds to be as successful and smooth as they were. Many thanks as well to the Tertianum Premium Residenz München and their care manager Matthias Schiertz who helped us find appropriate times and settings to perform the evaluations. Without the ability to assess the software’s performance with the target audience, this project would not have been as insightful.

  • Information to Users
    INFORMATION TO USERS While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this manuscript, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. For example: • Manuscript pages may have indistinct print. In such cases, the best available copy has been filmed. • Manuscripts may not always be complete. In such cases, a note will indicate that it is not possible to obtain missing pages. • Copyrighted material may have been removed from the manuscript. In such cases, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or as a 17”x 23” black and white photographic print. Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or microfiche but lack the clarity on xerographic copies made from the microfilm. For an additional charge, 35mm slides of 6”x 9” black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography.

  • Gradience in Grammar
    Gradience in Grammar Experimental and Computational Aspects of Degrees of Grammaticality Frank Keller V N I E R U S E I T H Y T O H F G E R D I N B U PhD University of Edinburgh 2000 Abstract This thesis deals with gradience in grammar, i.e., with the fact that some linguistic structures are not fully acceptable or unacceptable, but receive gradient linguistic judgments. The importance of gradient data for linguistic theory has been recognized at least since Chomsky’s Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory. However, systematic empirical studies of gradience are largely absent, and none of the major theoretical frameworks is designed to account for gradient data. The present thesis addresses both questions. In the experimental part of the thesis (Chapters 3–5), we present a set of magnitude estimation experiments investigating gradience in grammar. The experiments deal with unaccusativity/unergativity, extraction, binding, word order, and gapping. They cover all major modules of syntactic theory, and draw on data from three languages (English, German, and Greek). In the theoretical part of thesis (Chapters 6 and 7), we use these experimental results to motivate a model of gradience in grammar. This model is a variant of Optimality Theory, and explains gradience in terms of the competition of ranked, violable linguistic constraints. The experimental studies in this thesis deliver two main results. First, they demonstrate that an experimental investigation of gradient phenomena can advance linguistic theory by uncovering acceptability distinctions that have gone unnoticed in the theoretical literature. An experimental approach can also settle data disputes that result from the informal data collection techniques typically employed in theoretical linguistics, which are not well-suited to investigate the behavior of gradient linguistic data.

  • The Effective Use of Games in the German As a Foreign Language (Gfl) Classroom
    THE EFFECTIVE USE OF GAMES IN THE GERMAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE (GFL) CLASSROOM Marion Ulrike Greiner A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2010 Committee: Geoffrey C. Howes, Advisor Kristie Foell ii ABSTRACT Geoffrey C. Howes, Advisor This thesis considers the reasons why language learning games are a powerful and effective language teaching tool. It defines the term “language learning game” and examines its typical characteristics. The thesis also discusses the different types of language learning games. Language learning games are commonly understood to have motivational and enjoyable aspects. Despite cognitive and neurological evidence the instructional effectiveness of language learning games is still questioned by critics. This thesis strongly states that necessary research is missing to convince critics of games’ instructional value. Individual subchapters consider the implications of using language learning games in terms of the teacher’s role, the student’s role, productive error correction and cost-effectiveness. The thesis also discusses practical issues of how to make language learning games actually work in class. These include in-class organization, useful language for playing and organizing games, forms of classroom interaction and classroom setting. In addition to a presentation of decisive factors for the suitability of games, potential problems in the classroom are also discussed. In this thesis the author also presents a collection of accuracy-focused and fluency-focused language learning games that allow teachers to help students develop communicative competence in the foreign language. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am deeply grateful to many individuals who supported me while writing this thesis.

Perhaps not. Captain Picard This is hardly a scientific observation, Commander. Data Captain, the most elementary and valuable statement in science, the beginning of wisdom is I do not know. Star Trek: The Next Generation Where Silence has Lease Acknowledgements First I would like to thank the members of my thesis committee Artemis Alexiadou, that she has agreed on supervising this rather exotic topic, and Diane Wormsley for her support and undertaking the long journey to Germany. I would like to express my gratitude to all the people who have substantially contributed to my interest in braille and working with children who have a visual impairment, these are Dietmar Böhringer from Nikolauspflege Stuttgart, Maggie Granger, Diana King and above all Rosemary Parry, my braille teacher from The West of England School and College for young people with little or no sight, Exeter, UK. My special thanks goes to students and staff at The West of England School, the RNIB New College Worcester and the Royal National College for the Blind, Hereford for participating in the study. Further to those who helped to make this study possible: Paul Holland for enabling my numerous visits to The West of England School, Ruth Hardisty for co-ordinating the study, Chris Stonehouse and Mary Foulstone for their support in Worcester and Hereford and to Maggie Granger and Diana and Martin King for their friendship and for making things work even if braille was the most important thing in the world.
