G繹tz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand
G繹tz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand ist ein Schauspiel in f羹nf Aufz羹gen von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Das St羹ck gilt als das bekannteste Werk des Sturm und Drang. Als Vorbild der Hauptfigur galt der fr瓣nkisch-schw瓣bische Reichsritter Gottfried "G繹tz" von Berlichingen zu Hornberg (genannt "mit der Eisernen Hand"). G繹tz entstammt der mittelalterlichen Welt des Faust- und Fehderechts, agiert aber auch St瓣nde 羹bergreifend, indem er den Bauern hilft. Mit seiner Figur st繹?t das auf gewachsenem Naturrecht und Treue gegr羹ndete freie Rittertum auf die dem abstrakten r繹mischen Recht verpflichtete Welt des intriganten Adels. Goethes G繹tz beweist zwar einen die historischen Konventionen 羹berwindenden Charakter, seine auf individueller Unabh瓣ngigkeit einerseits und pers繹nlicher Loyalit瓣t andererseits basierende Utopie einer idealen Monarchie lassen ihn jedoch in Konflikt mit der gerade entstehenden b羹rgerlichen Gesellschaft geraten. So k瓣mpft G繹tz von vornherein auf verlorenem Posten. Resigniert muss er letztlich feststellen: Freiheit gibt es nur im Jenseits, die Welt aber ist ein Gef瓣ngnis.
Der einsame Weg
Das St羹ck spielt um 1900 in Wien. Nach Jahren begegnet der Maler Julian Fichtner wieder Gabriele. Einst hatte er sie verf羹hrt und verlassen, um seine Freiheit als K羹nstler nicht aufzugeben. Sie hat den Akademieprofessor Wegrat geheiratet, hat inzwischen in Felix und Johanna zwei erwachsene Kinder. Keiner ahnt, dass Felix in Wahrheit Julians Sohn ist. Gabriele, die todkrank ist und wei?, dass sie nicht mehr lange zu leben hat, offenbart den Kindern die Wahrheit. Julian hofft, f羹r Felix eine Vaterfigur sein zu k繹nnen, aber dieser bekennt sich zu Wegrat, dem falschen Vater und echten Menschen. Johanna indessen sperrt sich gegen die Zukunft, die ihre Mutter f羹r sie vorbereitet - sie verlobt sich nicht mit dem jungen Arzt Reumann, sondern liebt Herrn von Sala, einen alten Freund der Familie, den sie schon von Kindheit an kennt. Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931) war ein 繹sterreichischer Erz瓣hler und Dramatiker. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der Wiener Moderne.

Ahmad Taymour's Colloquial Proverbs; An English Translation
Among the many collections of Egyptian proverbs, the standout is this compilation by Ahmad Taymour, a pioneer and leading figure in the field of paremiology. The Colloquial Proverbs was first published in 1949 and includes 3,188 proverbs, along with explanatory notes. Since publication the book has gained immense popularity in the Arabic-speaking world. For scholars it is considered a thesaurus, a fundamental and indispensable resource for research. Translated here into English for the first time, this work will be of interest to paremiologists and proverb collectors, but also to those seeking insights into the mindset, character, customs and history of the Egyptian people.
A Grammatical Sketch of Cua
Cua is a Kalahari Khoe language spoken in southeastern Botswana (Kweneng District). It is closely related to languages such as Gana, Tshila and Tsua. The phonology chapter describes the consonant, tone and vowel inventories, as well as a system of depressed tones following aspirated and voiced consonants. Later chapters provide concise overviews of the morphology and syntax of the language. Cua is characterized by a complex system of person-gender-number markers (PGN markers), which play a role in the formation of the pronouns. The features defining pronouns include: singular, dual, and plural number; first, second, and third person; and masculine, feminine and neutral gender. There is also a distinction between inclusive and exclusive first-person plural pronouns.
German Phonology
Drawing on an optimality-theoretic framework, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the phonology of German, with its idiosyncratic array of sound patterns. It starts with the consonants and vowels and the distinctive features they consist of, moving on to account for allophonic changes in detail, as well as syllables and their weight units. Phonological processes are then explored in depth, with chapter-length explorations of feet, prosodic words, prosodic phrases, and intonation phrases, showing that the prosodic hierarchy provides the domains of most phonological processes. It also includes discussions of the interfaces of morphology and syntax with phonology, as well as prosodic phrasing and intonation. The constraint-based approach allows a new holistic perspective, simultaneously encompassing all aspects of German phonology. Wide-ranging yet accessible, it is essential reading for advanced students of both linguistics and German, as well as individual scholars seeking a one-stop resource on the topic.

Culture in Exile
This edited book breaks new ground by bringing together research on inner and territorial exile in the context of National Socialism in Germany and the Franco regime in Spain, and in proposing an integrated model of exilic cultural production. Original contributions explore previously neglected aspects of the inner and territorial exile cultures, focusing on the specificity of the national settings (including Catalonia) whilst also seeking to place research findings within a conceptual framework of exile which views the experiences and cultural manifestations of inner and territorial exiles not as polar opposites, but as interactions of response to fascist dictatorship. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of German Studies, Hispanic Studies, comparative literary and cultural studies, and modern history more broadly.
Re-thinking the Literacy Divide in Language Education in Senegal
This book examines literacy education in Senegal. It assesses some of the impacts of French policies on the overall Senegalese system of education, including some of the language policies championed by a cohort of Senegalese authorities from 1960 until 2012. It begins with a definition of the concept of literacy education in general to briefly set the scene of the early resistance this encountered in West Africa, particularly in Senegal. It discusses the major language policies undertaken by presidents Leopold Sedar Senghor, Abdou Diouf, and Abdoulaye Wade. Finally, the book assesses the major impacts of France's literacy policies on the current system of education in Senegal and proposes solutions on how to help Senegal and the rest of the West African countries put in place a rigorous literacy education that benefits their population.
Verbless Sentences in Spoken Italian
The book deals with the analysis of the expression of Grammatical Relations in spoken Italian verbless sentences. Unlike previous studies, this corpus-driven research aims at showing that it is possible to identify Grammatical-Relations in verbless sentences and that their encoding marks are non-canonical, as it occurs in verbal sentences which present non-prototypical arguments. Moreover, it demonstrates that the spoken language is a privileged field of observation for the analysis of systemic grammatical phenomena which are not always evident in written language.
Educational Agency and Activism in Linguistic Landscape Studies
Who is involved and why in the linguistic landscapes in educational contexts? How are agency and activism reflected in educationscapes? These questions and more are addressed in the various contributions in this volume, thus expanding the boundaries of educationscapes through enquiries that focus on educational agency and activism. In particular, the collection sheds light on linguistic, semiotic and spatial agency and activism in different educational contexts around the world. By focusing on agency as social practice and activism as act to change, the studies broaden our understanding of the actors, and how they mobilize their linguistic and semiotic resources to shape the educationscape. The volume advances the study of linguistic landscapes in educational contexts and offers a critical approach to reflect on inequality, power and decolonialization of languages in educational spaces, as well as the professional development of future teachers.

Aber Felix, der neue junge Kellner auch in ihrem Alter, der Birgit bedient, ist alles andere als ein geschickter Kellner: Er vergisst ihre Bestellung, bringt oft die falsche Bestellung oder bringt sie 羹berhaupt mit gro?er Versp瓣tung.

New Perspectives on Languages in Contact
This publication examines the complex phenomenon of language contact in its various facets, both for its subject matter and for the variety of interrelationships that come into play, especially as a consequence of its close links with English. The data are mainly drawn from Peninsular Spanish, but also from overseas areas such as the Canary Islands and the United States. Contact with geographically and culturally neighboring languages such as French and Italian is another focus. Given the interdisciplinarity of this field of study, the book will also be of interest to researchers in other areas of linguistics, such as lexicology and lexicography, sociolinguistics, language planning and the history of Spanish and English.
Reassessing Alleged Runic Forgeries
One of the most well-known potential forgeries is SG-65 Kleines Schulerloch, which has provoked controversies and debates among scientists of various disciplines since its discovery. In this study an interdisciplinary grid of methods was developed and applied to the inscription of the Kleines Schulerloch in order to analyse its authenticity. Due to the approach new results could be made, leading to a revised edition entry of the inscription.
Storytelling as a Cultural Practice
Storytelling as a cultural practice permeates all phases and areas of human life and opens up possible worlds. From their earliest days, children grow into a culture of storytelling, acquire language and literature, develop writing skills, and learn to communicate through storytelling in multimodal ways: orally and in writing, by playing, drawing, designing, singing, dancing and more. Through the process of narrating, experiences are structured, identities are formed, social contexts are shaped, and desires and futures are imagined. Narrative connects different times in history, various disciplinary fields in education and diverse linguistic-cultural spaces, but it also requires time and space itself. Against the background of an educational landscape that is currently competence-oriented, the question arises as to what role the art of storytelling plays in educational contexts, and what possibilities it opens up for learning. This edited volume aims to address this question, theoretically and empirically, from pedagogical and linguistic perspectives.

Explorations Into Language, Literature and Culture
Over the past 25 years, previously separate fields of linguistic research have moved closer together, resulting in constructive collaborations: Cognitive Sociolinguistics draws on the framework of Cognitive Linguistics to investigate social factors in linguistic variation. Linguistic Landscape studies merge Semiotics and Sociolinguistics. Critical Discourse Studies link ideological dimensions of language to general conceptual principles. Language pedagogy is constantly informed by developments in Applied Linguistics. Furthermore, there is lively communication with neighbouring disciplines such as Literary and Cultural Studies. The present volume reflects this fruitful fluidity. It is a tribute to the linguist Martin P羹tz, whose work has always been guided by this interdisciplinary spirit.
