By covering the body with animal skin, the fundamental differences between human and animals can change. Wearing the fur of a wild animal, such as a bear, is generally seen as a sign of strength; can wearing luxurious pelts consequently be understood in the same way? The discrepancy between nature and culture is obvious. Pelt, on the one hand, is a sign of a fully established cultural process, but nevertheless it is the skin of a beast which the fictional protagonists of the courtly society wear. The central question of this article is how the motif of wearing animal skin, and especially pelt, is used in a literary text. Can the apparent difference between roughly tanned animal skin and costly pelts be more than a status symbol? The article discusses the oscillation between humans and animals by means of wearing fur or pelt in the late medieval tale Aristoteles und Phyllis. Also, to consider human-animal discourse more generally, the ambiguity of the Middle High German term vel will be discussed by the example of passages of pelt wearing figures in the work of Wolfram von Eschenbach.

I 2014 sa Universitetet i Oslo frå seg ansvaret for dei nasjonale språksamlingane, og ein omfattande offentleg debatt følgde. I 2015 overførte Kunnskapsdepartementet ansvaret for samlingane til Universitetet i Bergen med ei rammeløyving på seks millionar kroner. Artikkelen skildrar korleis Universitetet i Bergen posisjonerte seg og dei ulike strategiske vurderingane bak prosessen. Forsøket på redningsaksjon gjennom ei nasjonal ordbokgruppe med representasjon frå dei norske universiteta vert òg presentert. Universitetet i Bergen har akseptert ansvaret for samlingane som eit nasjonalt oppdrag, og slår no saman samlingane med eigne samlingar og samlingar frå andre institusjonar. Eit viktig resultat er at institusjonen har fått eit aktivt leksikografisk fagmiljø med fagleg ansvar for Bokmålsordboka, Nynorskordboka og Norsk Ordbok og tilleggsfinansiering over statsbudsjettet. Den avgrensa rammeløyvinga set grenser for drifta av andre delar av samlingane. Målet er framleis å utvikla samlingane som nasjonal forskingsressurs.

Dos vários recursos disponíveis ao aprendizado da língua estrangeira (LE), o livro didático tem provado ser indubitavelmente um dos elementos centrais para os mecanismos de ensino-aprendizagem em nossas salas de aula ao longo das décadas (RÖSLER; SCHART 2016). Este artigo avança as discussões atuais acerca da utilização do livro didático de alemão como língua estrangeira (ALE) especificamente no contexto do ensino superior brasileiro e tem como objetivo apresentar e discutir criticamente a partir de uma pesquisa exploratório-interpretativa (CASPARI; HELBIG; SCHMELTER 2007) a percepção dos alunos sobre o livro didático DaF Kompakt, utilizado por uma universidade pública no Rio de Janeiro que oferece o Curso de Letras Português-Alemão. O artigo apresenta inicialmente uma discussão acerca do papel do livro didático e das crenças e percepções discentes sobre ensino-aprendizagem de ALE, em seguida apresenta e analisa os dados coletados por meio de pesquisa qualitativa junto a discentes do ensino superior e, por fim, propõe uma agenda de pesquisa que aponta para possibilidades de análise crítica do uso do livro didático de língua estrangeira e de uma investigação mais aprofundada e contrastiva sobre limites e possibilidades dos materiais usados em cursos de língua alemã nas universidades brasileiras.

The purpose of this article is to make a comparative analysis of Wisława Szymborska's poem "Utopia" with its Norwegian translation from 1996. Since the original piece in Polish has a very specific construction, which is based on the use of idioms and puns, it is difficult to transfer it to virtually any language. The key to the critical commentary of Ole Michael Selberg's translation is the notion of ,"aura", borrowed from Walter Benjamin. As a tool for aesthetic analysis it corresponds well with changes that occur in his version of "Utopia". At the same time, this article gives an insight into what kind of place does Wisława Szymborska's work find in the Norwegian literary consciousness.

O conceito de Witz, como aparece nos fragmentos de Friedrich Schlegel, publicados entre 1798 e 1800, está ligado ao entendimento estético e foi recuperado por Walter Benjamin em O conceito de crítica de arte no romantismo alemão. O Witz faz parte da "terminologia filosófica" romântica, é um instante na reflexão crítica sobre uma obra de arte onde se dá o conhecimento súbito. O Witz opera na obra uma iluminação de diferentes níveis: semanticamente, aparece na obra como as figuras de estilo da subitaneidade, ou como parabase, a ruptura que autoexplica a obra. Witz, etimologicamente, seria uma corruptela de wissen (saber), e representado pela metáfora da luz. O termo original Witz mantém uma relação sonora com Blitz (relâmpago), é o saber que emerge à consciência subitamente, como um relâmpago, uma iluminação súbita da cena. Witz/Bliz constituem-se em um par conceitual, ou seja, a sonoridade dos termos permite um permuta visual e fonética que vem ao encontro das possibilidades semânticas, compondo um par de opostos.

O artigo aborda as experiências fotografias e narrativas do fotojornalista austríaco Mario Baldi, que trabalhou entre os índios brasileiros na primeira metade do século XX. Baldi escreveu um livro sobre sua convivência com os Carajá e publicou tanto no Brasil quanto na Alemanha. O objetivo dessa análise é comparar as duas versões e abordar as inovações e limites das representações que Baldi faz da alteridade cultural brasileira, influenciadas por um romantismo etnológico compartilhado por alguns estudiosos brasileiros e alemães, denominado nos anos 1940 e 1950 de indiologia brasileira.

<p>Abstract: This study tries to shed light on the role of dictionary examples in the comprehension of word meanings. An experimental procedure has been devised whereby two groups of students with English as major subject at Kuwait University were asked to provide the Arabic equivalents for ten English headwords. The first group was given a list of entries for these words copied from the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (OALD) while the second group had to read the same list but without illustrative examples. Results indicate that the students' decoding performance was negatively affected by the presence of illustrative examples in the dictionary entry.</p><p>Keywords: ARABIC, BILINGUAL DICTIONARY, COMPREHENSION, EFL DICTIONARY,ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE, MONOLINGUAL DICTIONARY, TRANSLATION</p><p>Opsomming: Die doeltreffendheid van woordeboekvoorbeelde by dekodering:Die geval van Koeweiti-aanleerders van Engels.

Before an assessment of this dictionary is made, it is important to place the Khwe language in its historical and social context. Khwe dam (language of the Khwe), as its speakers would prefer to call it, is a Khoisan language belonging to the Southern African Central-Khoisan under the Khoe cluster (Güldemann and Vossen 2000). It is spoken in Northern Botswana and in the Western Capri-vi Strip of Namibia in the Kavango region. As the compiler correctly observes, there are about 10 000 Khwe-speaking people who live in the Caprivi Strip of North-Western Namibia, Angola, Botswana and Zambia, and at Schmidtsdrift, South Africa. As can be expected from a speech community such as the Khwe, who prefer living in small communities, there are dialects within the Khwe dam. In Botswana, the notable varieties are the Buga (Sand Khwe) and the ≤Ani (River Khwe), which exhibit discernable linguistic differences at the lexical and grammatical levels. However, linguists agree, as Kilian-Hatz also indicates, that the Khwe dam dialectal varieties are definitely related and mutually fairly intelligible (cf. Güldemann and Vossen 2000). As a language that has not been elaborately codified, it is difficult to speak about a standard Khwe dam form. Many other social and linguistic activities need to be carried out to resolve the question of standard Khwe dam (cf. WIMSA 2001).

Aus der Sicht der Neurowissenschaft kann Kognition als ein Wissenserwerb-Prozess definiert werden, der sowohl Informationen aus der Umwelt als auch aus unserem Gedächtnis verwendet. Der Prozess baut auf Perzeption, Aufmerksamkeit, Gedächtnis und Handeln auf und läuft nicht immer bewusst ab. Es handelt sich dabei aber nicht nur um Wissenserwerb, sondern um die Umwandlung all dessen, was vom Lerner anhand seiner Identität und Erfahrungen wahrgenommen wird. Davon ausgehend wird hier ein theoretisches Modell der Wissensverarbeitung im Rahmen der Produktion in einer Fremdsprache vorgestellt, das auf neuen neurowissenschaftlichen Theorien über Gedächtnis, Lernen und die Verarbeitung von Repräsentationen häufiger linguistischer Sequenzen (chunks) basiert und mit Daten aus dem Bereich Deutsch als Fremdsprache illustriert wird. Aus dem Modell ergibt sich, dass theoretisches Wissen über eine Fremdsprache und die Fähigkeit, die Sprache erfolgreich zu verwenden, als einander ergänzende, während des Lernprozesses miteinander interagierende Fähigkeiten anzusehen sind, und nicht als zwei Phasen einer durch Lernzeit und Speicherung im Gedächtnis bestimmten einheitlichen Kenntnis, wie von manchen Autoren vorgeschlagen wird.
