Download or read book Expanding the Lexicon written by Sabine Arndt-Lappe and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creation of new lexical units and patterns has been studied in different research frameworks, focusing on either system-internal or system-external aspects, from which no comprehensive view has emerged. The volume aims to fill this gap by studying dynamic processes in the lexicon – understood in a wide sense as not being necessarily limited to the word level – by bringing together approaches directed to morphological productivity as well as approaches analyzing general types of lexical innovation and the role of discourse-related factors. The papers deal with ongoing changes as well as with historical processes of change in different languages and reflect on patterns and specific subtypes of lexical innovation as well as on their external conditions and the speakers’ motivations for innovating. Moreover, the diffusion and conventionalization of innovations will be addressed. In this way, the volume contributes to understanding the complex interplay of structural, cognitive and functional factors in the lexicon as a highly dynamic domain.

Download or read book On the Royal Road written by Elfriede Jelinek and published by Gazebo Books. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek is known as a writer who works in response to contemporary crises and cultural phenomena. Perhaps none of her works display that quality as clearly as On the Royal Road. Three weeks after Donald Trump's election, Jelinek mailed her German editor the first draft of this monologue, which turns out to be a stunningly prescient response to Trump and what he represents. In this drama we discover that a 'king', blinded by himself, who has made a fortune with real estate, golf courses and casinos, suddenly rules the United States, and the rest of the people of the world rub their eyes in disbelief until no one sees anything anymore. On the Royal Road brings into focus the phenomenon of right-wing populism. Carefully perched somewhere between tragedy and grotesque, high-pitched and squeamish, Jelinek in this work questions her own position and forms of resistance. 'Ms. Jelinek's play is a screed of outrage at the political, economic and cultural forces that have brought us to an unprecedented — and for many, unimaginable — moment of crisis for modern democracy. Mr. Trump is never mentioned by name, but the narration sketches an undisciplined, uncouth monarch who has been propped up by obscene wealth, a nonstop media circus and a remarkable talent for self-aggrandizing...[On the Royal Road] is neither a polemic nor a historical dramatization but an of-the-moment allegory for our deeply troubling political, social and economic reality.' — A. J. Goldmann, New York Times 'Jelinek's work is brave, adventurous, witty, antagonistic and devastatingly right about the sorriness of human existence, and her contempt is expressed with surprising chirpiness: it's a wild ride.' — The Guardian

Download or read book Bildw rterbuch Deutsch Griechisch Lernen f r Kinder Babyb cher written by Professionel Kinder Sprache and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-14 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass das Erlernen einer zweiten Sprache die Fähigkeit zur Problemlösung, zum kritischen Denken und zum Zuhören fördert und darüber hinaus das Gedächtnis, die Konzentration und die Fähigkeit zum Multitasking verbessert. Kinder, die andere Sprachen beherrschen, zeigen ebenfalls Anzeichen von gesteigerter Kreativität und geistiger Flexibilität. Es gibt eine "kritische Phase" oder ein "Zeitfenster", in dem Kinder am besten Sprachen lernen. Studien haben gezeigt, dass dies der Fall ist, wenn Kinder zwischen der Geburt und sechs Jahren alt sind. Je jünger die Kinder sind, desto leichter lernen sie eine zweite Sprache. Mit zunehmendem Alter nimmt diese Fähigkeit ab. Diese einfachen und unterhaltsamen Lernkarten sollen Eltern dabei helfen, eine neue Sprache als nützliches Lerninstrument für Kinder zu lernen.
