Prof. Dr. Heike Wiese 2. Prof. Dr. Rosemarie Tracy Zusammenfassung Für das Deutsche wird gemeinhin eine strikte V2-Beschränkung angenommen, die für deklarative Hauptsätze besagt, dass sich vor dem finiten Verb genau eine Konstituente befinden muss. In der Literatur werden häufig Beispiele angeführt, in denen sich zwei Konstituenten vor dem finiten Verb befinden und die somit gegen die V2-Beschränkung verstoßen. Diese syntaktische Konfiguration, so das Argument, führt zu Ungrammatikalität: *Gestern Johann hat getanzt. (Roberts & Roussou 2002:137) Die Bewertung in (1) fußt jedoch nicht auf empirischer Evidenz, sondern spiegelt ein introspektives Urteil der Autor*innen wider. Daten zum tatsächlichen Sprachgebrauch zeigen, dass Sätze wie in (2) im Deutschen durchaus verwendet werden: Aber immer alle sagen das. [BSa-OB, #16] Die Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit dem Status dieser V3-Deklarativsätze im Deutschen. Der Status wird aus drei einander ergänzenden Perspektiven auf Sprache untersucht: Sprachverwendung, Akzeptabilität und Verarbeitung. Hierzu werden Daten, die in einer Korpus-, einer Akzeptabilitäts- und einer Lesezeitstudie erhoben wurden, ausgewertet. Basierend auf den empirischen Befunden diskutiere ich V3-Modellierungen aus generativer Sicht und entwickle einen Modellierungsvorschlag aus konstruktionsgrammatischer Sicht. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass die Einbeziehung von nicht-standardsprachlichen Mustern wichtige Einblicke in die sprachliche Architektur gibt.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

Was machen die Deutschen in ihrer Freizeit? Die Stiftung für Zukunftsfragen hat eine reprä- sentative Umfrage zu den Freizeitaktivitäten der Deutschen gemacht. Dabei sind bekannte aber auch überraschende Dinge herausgekommen. Bekannt ist, dass die meisten Leute fernsehen. Was machen sie, wenn sie von der Arbeit müde nach Hause kommen? Sie legen die Füße hoch und machen den Fernseher an. Fernsehen bleibt die häufigste Freizeitbeschäftigung der Deutschen: 96 % sehen mindes- tens einmal pro Woche fern, 76 % sehen jeden Tag fern. An zweiter Stelle steht das Telefonieren: 88 %, und ein 88 % der Deutschen hört auch Radio. Ein 76 % liest Zeitungen und Zeitschriften. Faulenzen, also nichts Konkretes machen, ist mit 52 % fast genauso beliebt wie am Computer sitzen und im Internet surfen, mit 58 %. Das sind alles Aktivitäten, die zu Hause passieren. Aktivitäten im Freien, zum Beispiel Sport, sind weniger beliebt und passieren mehr am Wochenende. Die Stiftung für Zukunfstfragen hat auch kalkuliert, dass die Deutschen 3,49 Stunden pro Tag Freizeit haben. Bei den jungen Menschen ist es etwas mehr, sie haben 4 Stunden pro Tag Freizeit. Aber vor wenigen Jahren hatten die jungen Leute fast 5 Stunden Freizeit pro Tag, sie haben jetzt mehr Schulstunden. Die Schulzeit bis zum Abitur ist um ein Jahr gekürzt worden, deshalb haben sie mehr Schulstunden, mehr Schularbeit und weniger Freizeit. Die Menschen, die mehr Stunden Freizeit haben, sind natürlich die Rentner.

  • Agency in the Afrofuturist Ontologies of Erykah Badu and Janelle Monáe
    Open Cultural Studies 2018; 2: 330–340 Research Article Nathalie Aghoro* Agency in the Afrofuturist Ontologies of Erykah Badu and Janelle Monáe https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2018-0030 Received May 21, 2018; accepted September 26, 2018 Abstract: This article discusses the visual, textual, and musical aesthetics of selected concept albums (Vinyl/CD) by Afrofuturist musicians Erykah Badu and Janelle Monaé. It explores how the artists design alternate projections of world/subject relations through the development of artistic personas with speculative background narratives and the fictional emplacement of their music within alternate cultural imaginaries. It seeks to establish that both Erykah Badu and Janelle Monáe use the concept album as a platform to constitute their Afrofuturist artistic personas as fluid black female agents who are continuously in the process of becoming, evolving, and changing. They reinscribe instances of othering and exclusion by associating these with science fiction tropes of extraterrestrial, alien lives to express topical sociocultural criticism and promote social change in the context of contemporary U.S. American politics and black diasporic experience. Keywords: conceptual art, Afrofuturism, gender performance, black music, artistic persona We come in peace, but we mean business. (Janelle Monáe) In her Time’s up speech at the Grammys in January 2018, singer, songwriter, and actress Janelle Monáe sends out an assertive message from women to the music industry and the world in general. She repurposes the ambivalent first encounter trope “we come in peace” by turning it into a manifest for a present-day feminist movement. Merging futuristic, utopian ideas with contemporary political concerns pervades Monáe’s public appearances as much as it runs like a thread through her music.

  • Different Paths Towards Autonomy
    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Sagnfræði Different paths towards autonomy: A comparison of the political status of the Faroe Islands and th Iceland in the first half of the 19 century Ritgerð til B. A.- prófs Regin Winther Poulsen Kt.: 111094-3579 Leiðbeinandi: Anna Agnarsdóttir Janúar 2018 Abstract This dissertation is a comparison of the political status of Iceland and the Faroe Islands within the Danish kingdom during the first half of the 19th century. Though they share a common history, the two dependencies took a radically different path towards autonomy during this period. Today Iceland is a republic while the Faroes still are a part of the Danish kingdom. This study examines the difference between the agendas of the two Danish dependencies in the Rigsdagen, the first Danish legislature, when it met for the first time in 1848 to discuss the first Danish constitution, the so-called Junigrundloven. In order to explain why the political agendas of the dependencies were so different, it is necessary to study in detail the years before 1848. The administration, trade and culture of the two dependencies are examined in order to provide the background for the discussion of the quite different political status Iceland and the Faroes had within the Danish kingdom. Furthermore, the debates in the Danish state assemblies regarding the re-establishment of the Alþingi in 1843 are discussed in comparison to the debates in the same assemblies regarding the re-establishment of the Løgting in 1844 and 1846. Even though the state assemblies received similar petitions from both dependencies, Alþingi was re-established in 1843, while the same did not happen with the Løgting in the Faroes.

    Executive Summary HMP Today NASA pursues technical innovations and scientific discoveries to advance human exploration of space. PLRP To prepare for these complex missions, a vast amount of planning, testing, and technology development must be DRATS accomplished. Yet, forecasting how that planning will translate into everyday operations in space is difficult while NEEMO ISRU still on Earth. To help prepare for the real-life challenges of space exploration, NASA relies on Earth-based missions that are similar, or analogous, to space. These are called analog missions—field activities set in remote locations with extreme characteristics that resemble the challenges of a space mission. NASA conducts these missions in extreme environments around the globe to test technologies and systems and to help guide the future direction of human exploration of the solar system. This report profiles NASA’s active analog missions, with highlights and successes Habitat from the last few years: Desert Research and Technology Studies (Desert RATS) ........................................................................................... Page 6 This mission tests roving and extravehicular activity (EVA) operations in an environment that, like the Moon and Mars, features extreme temperatures and difficult terrain. The Desert RATS program conducts an annual three-week exploration mission at Black Point Lava Flow, Arizona, investigating the most effective combination of rovers, habitats, and robotic systems; optimum crew size; effects of communication delays; effectiveness of autonomous operations; and how to improve science return for exploration missions.
