  abstract  = {In Enrique Gaspar y Rimbau's 1887 science fiction novel El anacron{\´o}pete, comedy presents itself in a variety of guises. One of the central comic elements of the book is the playful way in which the lower class characters, namely the maid Juana and the soldier Pendencia, engage with language. This article will compare Gaspar's El anacron{\´o}pete with two of its official translations, Leyla Rouhi's The Anacron{\´o}pete and Yolanda Molina-Gavil{\´a}n and Andrea Bell's The Time Ship: A Chrononautical Journey, in order to ascertain to what extent the Spanish author's comic touch is preserved in the English translations of Juana's and Pendencia's speech. The maid's and the soldier's use of double meaning, the mondegreen, and code-switching will be the specific focus of our analysis. We will see that, as Salman Rushdie claims, although «[i]t is normally supposed that something always gets lost in translation […] something can also be gained» (1991: 17).},

  abstract  = {Much research on first language (L1) acquisition carried out in the last decades has proven that language acquisition is based on a biological endowment, the language faculty, which is triggered by the exposure to linguistic data. The language acquisition process undergoes similar stages in the same time span, independently of the specific language. Non-native acquisition differs from L1 acquisition, as the speaker already has an internal grammar with all parameters set. Transfer should therefore take place, bringing the learner to analyse the new input according to the properties of the L1, but a reanalysis is possible because of the availability of UG (Schwartz/Sprouse 1996). This article explores a syntactic domain, namely the properties of the functional categories constraining the verb position in main and subordinate clauses, by means of empirical data from Italian L1-speakers acquiring German as a second language (L2). It will be shown that the interlanguage grammars reflect properties of L1 and that resetting can be achieved, although optionality still exists and full convergence to the target language cannot be guaranteed.},

  abstract  = {This paper investigates the linguistic properties of prepositional phrases containing de in the French language by means of a comprehensive compilation of possible formal realizations, for which examples are provided out of a chosen sample text. Special attention will be paid to the most frequently-cited formal realization, namely the combination of a preposition and a noun phrase. The corresponding forms will be divided into two classes, one with nominal phrases containing a phonetically realized or at least an underlying determiner, and one with nominal phrases in which no determiner is assumed to occur. This distinction will shed light on some of the difficulties that can arise in the assignment of the elements to either category due to the special interaction between the preposition de and the French system of determiners.},

  abstract  = {While French Enlightenment seems philosophically dominated by a pejorative idea of the medieval past as the 'Dark Ages', this is only one conception among others. This article focuses on a different, a positive, representation of the Middle Ages in eighteenth-century literature, analyzing the chivalric novella Bliomb{\´e}ris (1784) by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian. On the one hand, the eponymous hero is considered a 'noble savage' who develops into an ideal knight by education and successful learning - two central ideas of the Enlightenment period. On the other hand, the study shows how the medieval topic of the Mati{\`e}re de Bretagne, exclusively required by English literature for a long time, is finally regained by the French and is reintegrated into their national memory.},

Im Rahmen der Neuesten Geschichte und franz{\"o}sischen Kulturwissenschaft thematisiert die Autorin die Erinnerungsproblematik dieses Krieges - und insbesondere die der Folter von Seiten der franz{\"o}sischen Kolonialmacht. Die Arbeit umfasst eine historische, politische und kulturelle Analyse der franz{\"o}sischen Gesellschaft und ihrer Einstellungen gegen{\"u}ber den Folterverbrechen, die von der franz{\"o}sischen Armee an Widerstandsk{\"a}mpfern und der algerischen Zivilbev{\"o}lkerung ver{\"u}bt worden sind. Wie positionieren sich Medien und Bev{\"o}lkerung, algerische wie franz{\"o}sische Zeitzeugen, Politik, Armee und Wissenschaft heute zu den illegalen Gewaltakten? Hierbei werden auch das Konzept der Oral History sowie der geschichtswissenschaftliche Anspruch einer "historischen Objektivit{\"a}t" diskutiert. Daraus ergibt sich f{\"u}r die Autorin die Antwort auf die weiterreichende Forschungsfrage nach der wissenschaftlichen Positionierung dieses historischen Ereignisses: Gerade in Fragen der Gewalt und der Auss{\"o}hnung zwischen antagonistischen (Erinnerungs-)Gruppen bilden die Disziplinen Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaft eine wichtige Schnittstelle.},
