    4 Germanic Languages I

    4 GERMANIC LANGUAGES I. GERMAN STUDIES Language and LinguistiCS Alan Scott, University of Nottingham and Marc Pierce, University of Texas at Austin 1. General A major work which appeared towards the end of the review year is Ulrich Ammon, Die Stellung der deutschen Sprache in der Welt, Berlin, de Gruyter, xviii + 1296 pp. Assessing the global position of the German language and its recent history, A. views the position of German in the context of a global constellation of competing languages, examining unique features and congruities in such areas as business, science, diplomacy, linguistics, word art, the media, and foreign language instruction. The perennial debate as to whether the German language is in decline is the subject of Sprachverfall. Dynamik-Wandel-Variation, ed. Albrecht Plewnia and Andreas Witt, Berlin, de Gruyter, viii + 371 pp., which contains contributions from many prominent scholars, both from Germany and elsewhere. The volume has two principal foci, namely providing a comprehensive analysis of the discourse on perceived language decline, and offering a sociolinguistic perspective on the processes underlying the public debate on the topic. Chapters include Wini Davies and Nils Langer, ‘Die Sprachnormfrage im Deutschunterricht: das Dilemma der Lehrenden’ (299–321) and Martin Durrell, ‘Mit der Sprache ging es immer schon bergab Dynamik, Wandel und Variation aus sprachhistorischer Perspektive’ (11–31). A new and insightful contribution to another long-standing debate surrounding the German language, namely the extent to which Martin Luther can be considered to be the Schöpfer of the New High German written language, is made by Werner Besch, Luther und die deutsche Sprache.

    Climate Innovation ? the Case of the Central German Chemical Industry

    Paper to be presented at the 35th DRUID Celebration Conference 2013, Barcelona, Spain, June 17-19 Climate Innovation ? The Case of the Central German Chemical Industry Wilfried Ehrenfeld Halle Institute for Economic Research Knowledge and Innovation [email protected] Abstract Climate change, including its possible causes and consequences, is one of the most controversial and intensely discussed topics of our time. However, European businesses presently are less affected by the direct effects of climate change than by its indirect consequences. One central issue that arises in this context is the change in demands imposed by businesses? operational environment. This article contributes to the environmental innovation literature by providing a comprehensive evolutionary framework which allows an analysis of the drivers, determinants and outcomes of climate innovations implemented by companies. In this context, the prime issue is how the perception of climate change affects corporate innovation processes. Firstly, we consider the new demands imposed on the company by its stakeholders. Secondly, we discuss the innovative reactions to these impulses. Finally, we highlight the functions and relevance of certain internal and external determinants in the innovative process. Jelcodes:Q55,- 1. Introduction The possible causes and consequences of climate change are some of the most controversial and intensely discussed topics of our time. Today, European enterprises are more affected by the indirect consequences of climate change than by its direct effects such as extreme weather events. Some of these indirect consequences for industries arise from society’s perception of climate change, and by new demands imposed on companies by their operating environment.
  • Sprache Der Heimat.’ Discourses of Dialect and Identity in Modern-Day Cologne

    Sprache Der Heimat.’ Discourses of Dialect and Identity in Modern-Day Cologne

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by UCL Discovery ‘Sprache der Heimat.’ Discourses of dialect and identity in modern-day Cologne Geraldine Horan 1. Introduction Associating language with Heimat is not a new phenomenon. Heidegger’s lecture ‘Sprache und Heimat’ [Language and Home]1 (1960), for example, articulated the fundamental yet intangeable relationship between dialect as the mothertongue and a sense of ‘home’ (Heidegger 1983: 155–180), and philosophers and linguists alike have attempted to analyse how language can create and represent a sense of belonging in a ‘fusion of language and landscape’ (Hammermeister 2000: 314). This connection is particularly strong with dialect, which in modern times is largely reserved for the familiar, private sphere, or is employed symbolically as a marker of local identity. This chapter analyses discourses about Kölsch, the urban dialect spoken in the German city of Cologne, and about engagement with the dialect by members of a specific community; namely, participants in dialect and dialect-related courses as the Akademie för uns kölsche Sproch [Academy for our Cologne Language].2 Using data from questionnaires completed by participants in these courses, I explore individuals’ attitudes to the dialect, perceived level of proficiency, and the role the dialect plays in the construction of local identity. I shall argue that the externalisation of this personal, emotional link between dialect and identity that takes place through participation in dialect or dialect-related courses is part of an identity building process – it is about filling perceived ‘gaps’ in the individual’s identity, and/or extending and enhancing identity, in forging and maintaining membership of a community that is defined by its language and geographical location.
  • Vowel Change in English and German: a Comparative Analysis

    Vowel Change in English and German: a Comparative Analysis

    Vowel change in English and German: a comparative analysis Miriam Calvo Fernández Degree in English Studies Academic Year: 2017/2018 Supervisor: Reinhard Bruno Stempel Department of English and German Philology and Translation Abstract English and German descend from the same parent language: West-Germanic, from which other languages, such as Dutch, Afrikaans, Flemish, or Frisian come as well. These would, therefore, be called “sister” languages, since they share a number of features in syntax, morphology or phonology, among others. The history of English and German as sister languages dates back to the Late antiquity, when they were dialects of a Proto-West-Germanic language. After their split, more than 1,400 years ago, they developed their own language systems, which were almost identical at their earlier stages. However, this is not the case anymore, as can be seen in their current vowel systems: the German vowel system is composed of 23 monophthongs and 8 diphthongs, while that of English has only 12 monophthongs and 8 diphthongs. The present paper analyses how the English and German vowels have gradually changed over time in an attempt to understand the differences and similarities found in their current vowel systems. In order to do so, I explain in detail the previous stages through which both English and German went, giving special attention to the vowel changes from a phonological perspective. Not only do I describe such processes, but I also contrast the paths both languages took, which is key to understand all the differences and similarities present in modern English and German. The analysis shows that one of the main reasons for the differences between modern German and English is to be found in all the languages English has come into contact with in the course of its history, which have exerted a significant influence on its vowel system, making it simpler than that of German.

    Leipzig/Halle Airport Dresden International Press Release PortGround 4 June 2021 The Central German airports significantly reduce their CO2 emissions The sector goal of halving the figure is exceeded ten years earlier than envisaged Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG Uwe Schuhart Director Media Relations/PR The Central German airports reduced their CO2 emissions by 86% in 2020 Press Spokesperson compared to 2019. Calculations performed at the end of May confirmed this. phone+49 (0)341 224-1159 This means that the company has already exceeded the sector goal that was fax +49 (0)341 224-1161 [email protected] envisaged for 2030 at German commercial airports: i.e. to reduce emissions by www.mdf-ag.com more than 50 percent compared to 2010. The lower CO2 emissions have become possible notwithstanding the development of the Covid-19 pandemic, because the airports were still open. The Central German airports purchase climate-neutral electricity and make use of energy-efficient LED technology. The fleet of vehicles is also being gradually switched to alternative drive systems and compensation is being obtained for the CO2 emissions from natural gas. As a result, the Central German airports have significantly reduced the CO2 emissions caused by airport operations to a figure of 2,770 tonnes per annum. The company is therefore making its contribution to continuing to reduce international aviation’s share in global CO2 emissions of three percent. Götz Ahmelmann, CEO of Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG comments, “Protecting our climate is a major corporate goal for us. We’re pursuing an ambitious environmental strategy with a view to our neighbours and are continually working to operate our airports in a climate-neutral manner as early as possible.

Central Europe was affected by a compressional tectonic event in the Late Cretaceous, caused by the convergence of Iberia and Europe. Basement uplifts, inverted graben structures and newly formed marginal troughs are the main 10 expressions of crustal shortening. Although the maximum activity occurred in a short period between 90 and 75 Ma, the exact timing of this event is still unclear. Dating of start and end of basin inversion is very different depending on the applied method. On the basis of borehole data, facies and thickness maps, the timing of basin re-organisation was reconstructed for several basins in Central Europe. The obtained data point to a synchronous start of basin inversion already at 95 Ma (Cenomanian), 5 Million years earlier than commonly assumed. The end of the Late Cretaceous compressional event is more 15 difficult to pinpoint, because regional uplift and salt migration disturb the signal of shifting marginal troughs. Unconformities of Late Campanian to Paleogene age on inverted structures indicate slowly declining uplift rates. 1. Introduction During the Late Cretaceous/Earliest Paleogene, Central Europe was affected by a compression event which led to the deformation of the Central European basin.
