  • Germany Maintained Its Status Quoregarding LGBTI Equality and No Further Substantial Legal and Policy Changed Were Made. On
    Germany Germany maintained its status quo regarding LGBTI equality and no further substantial legal and policy changed were made. On the contrary, a number of negative court rulings and public statements by political leaders demonstrated that achieving equality in practice remains a challenge. Significantly, the German Ethics Council published its opinion on the situation of intersex people calling for better acknowledgement of intersex people and the need for protection from medical decisions taken on their behalf at an early age and other forms of discrimination. 106 ILGA-Europe Annual Review 2013 Asylum Employment In June, a lesbian woman from Iran who had applied In June, in violation of EU Directive 2000/78/EC for refugee status in Germany was ordered by Bayreuth prohibiting discrimination on the ground of sexual Administrative Court to return to Iran and live ‘discreetly’, orientation in the area of employment, the Administrative hiding her sexual orientation.

Kirsner, Co-Chair Professor Olga Tsuneko Yokoyama, Co-Chair This dissertation critically compares the two German focus particles and . It has been repeatedly noted in the relevant literature that the two display an intriguing yet challenging near-synonymy. However, factors motivating this relationship have not been sufficiently explained to date. This study argues that the particles’ ostensible partial overlap is systematic and non-trivial in nature and that it can be explained by positing two distinct speaker motivations for uttering each particle to mark a constituent in a sentence: While the particle marks a constituent as conform-to-expectation, marks a constituent as counter-to- ii expectation. Each marking is prompted by the discourse situation: If there is (extra)linguistic evidence that the interlocutor is inclined to select the same constituent as the speaker for completing a sentence, then is the appropriate marker.
