TY - JOUR A1 - Eibensteiner, Lukas A1 - Koch, Christian T1 - El uso de los tiempos del pasado en español como lengua extranjera: Una comparación de aprendientes escolares austriacos con políglotas románicos JF - promptus - Würzburger Beiträge zur Romanistik N2 - The normative use of past tenses is supposed to be a big challenge for learners of Spanish. Although they might understand the grammatical chapter in theory, adequate past tense use in spontaneous oral production is not guaranteed. Morphological errors, overgeneralizations of tenses and interferences with other languages characterize the interlanguage of the learners. Based on two corpuses, we analyse how the past tense use differs between secondary school students from Austria and Romance polyglots. Qualitative and quantitative analyses show that polyglot speakers surpass the secondary school students in some areas such as the distinction of verbal aspect. However, the students tend less to use the perfecto compuesto in an inadequate way in narration.

This way of an analysis is even more appropriate knowing that two of Mandiargues’ main and favourite themes – the eroticism and the violence – coincide with the Freudian life and destruction drive. Analysing the two poems Les filles des gobes and Les ruines de l’amour from the volume of poems L’Âge de craie, it’s these two paradigms that are clearly recognizable: Mandiargues’ symbolism reveals the duality of the domination by desires.

The acquisition of an L3 phonology by Turkish-German bilinguals T1 - Der Phonologieerwerb im Englischen als Drittsprache durch türkisch-deutsch bilinguale Sprecher N2 - Der Erwerb des phonologischen Systems einer Drittsprache wurde bisher vor allem vor dem Hintergrund zweier Fragen betrachtet: (a) Welche Sprache oder Sprachen werden in die Zielsprache transferiert und (b) welche Rolle spielen inner- und außersprachliche Faktoren dabei? Hier sind grundsätzlich drei Szenarien denkbar, welche sich auch in den im Forschungsfeld vorherrschenden theoretischen Ansätzen wiederfinden. Bei einem bilingualen Sprecher, also einem Sprecher mit zwei Hintergrundsprachen, ist erstens der ausschließliche Transfer einer der Hintergrundsprachen möglich, wobei für die Vorhersage der Sprache, die am wahrscheinlichsten transferiert wird, verschiedene Parameter vorgeschlagen wurden, wie beispielsweise das typologische Verhältnis der Hintergrund- und Zielsprachen untereinander oder der Status einer der beiden Hintergrundsprachen als Erst- bzw. Zweitsprache. Weiterhin ist Transfer aus beiden Sprachen denkbar, bei dem ausschließlich „nützliche“, das heißt den Zielspracherwerb unterstützende Strukturen transferiert werden. Drittens kann gemischter Transfer, also der Transfer verschiedener Strukturen, aus beiden Hintergrundsprachen angenommen werden, der allerdings nicht unbedingt positiv ist, sondern stattdessen von vielfältigen Faktoren konditioniert wird. In anderen Worten wird hier die Möglichkeit angenommen, Strukturen aus beiden Hintergrundsprachen in die Zielsprache zu transferieren. Dieser letzte Ansatz entspricht am besten den bisherigen Forschungsergebnissen des Felds: Während sich bei Betrachtung verschiedener Sprachkombinationen und verschiedener (und verschiedenartiger) phonologischer Strukturen für sich genommen kein einheitliches Muster erkennen lässt, wird deutlich, dass gemischter Transfer möglich ist – dies kommt vor allem bei Studien zu graduellen phonetischen Phänomenen wie konkreter Vokalqualität oder Voice Onset Time zum Ausdruck. Bisherige Studien haben sich auf einzelne phonologische oder phonetische Phänomene beschränkt, anhand derer die entsprechenden Ansätze überprüft wurden. Bisher gibt es keine systematischen Untersuchungen mehrerer verschiedener Phänomene an denselben Sprechern. Da allerdings davon ausgegangen werden kann, dass phonologische Phänomene unterschiedliche strukturelle Eigenschaften haben, ist genau dies nötig. Um also die Mechanismen des gleichzeitigen Transfers mehrerer Sprachen auf eine Zielsprache, und somit auch die Interaktion der Hintergrundsprachen in Multilingualen besser zu verstehen, müssen mehrere phonologische Strukturen an denselben Sprechergruppen und mit denselben Methoden untersucht werden. Diese Forschungslücke will die vorliegende Arbeit schließen. Hierfür wurde der Erwerb des Lautsystems der Drittsprache Englisch durch türkisch-deutsch bilinguale Lerner untersucht. Es wurden phonologische Strukturen des Englischen zur Untersuchung ausgewählt, die entweder im Deutschen (aber nicht im Türkischen), im Türkischen (aber nicht im Deutschen), oder in keiner der beiden Hintergrundsprachen vorkommen. Diese Unterteilung sollte dazu dienen den potentiellen Einfluss der jeweiligen Hintergrundsprache auf die Zielsprache identifizieren zu können. In zwei Studien wurden jeweils die Perzeption und die Produktion der obengenannten Strukturen an türkisch-deutsch Bilingualen sowie an einer monolingual deutschen Kontrollgruppe getestet. Studie 1 testete junge Lerner des Englischen in den ersten Lernjahren, während Studie 2 Studierende der Englischen Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft testete. Zusätzlich wurden extralinguistische Faktoren und biographische Details erhoben. In den beiden Studien sollte beantwortet werden, ob sich bilinguale und monolinguale Testpersonen in der Perzeption und/oder der Produktion der Zielstrukturen unterscheiden, ob diese Unterschiede durch Transfer aus den Hintergrundsprachen zu erklären sind und, falls dies nicht durchgehend der Fall ist, welche anderen strukturellen oder extralinguistischen Faktoren herangezogen werden können, um die Ergebnisse zu erklären. Zudem sollte geprüft werden, inwieweit Perzeption und Produktion zusammenhängen und welchen Effekt fortschreitender Spracherwerb hat. Die Ergebnisse der beiden Studien dieser Arbeit bestätigen die Vermutung, die anhand der Kombination aus verschiedenen vorausgehenden Studien getroffen wurden: Transfer findet ausgehend von beiden Hintergrundsprachen statt, er kann positiv und negativ sein, und er wird von strukturellen Faktoren konditioniert. So zeigte sich im Vergleich ein deutlicher Einfluss – sowohl positiv wie auch negativ – des Türkischen auf die Perzeption und Produktion des Englischen bei den bilingualen Sprechern, aber ebenso ein Einfluss des Deutschen. Weiterhin konnte der gleichzeitige Einfluss beider Hintergrundsprachen auf einzelne Strukturen belegt werden. Perzeption und Produktion stehen bei keiner der Sprechergruppen in einer direkten Korrelation, allerdings kann anhand der Ergebnisse Perzeption als einer der Faktoren angenommen werden, der einen Einfluss auf die Produktion der zielsprachlichen Struktur hat. Als weitere Faktoren konnten der Grad der Markiertheit der Struktur, ihre artikulatorische Komplexität sowie das Fehlen eines artikulatorischen Ankers identifiziert werden. Eine Verschiebung der Transferquellen fand zwischen den beiden Studien, also bedingt durch fortgeschrittenen Erwerb, nicht statt. Es konnte allerdings gezeigt werden, dass Nachteile, die aufgrund der Hintergrundsprachen den Sprechergruppen entstanden, in der älteren Gruppe häufig ausgeglichen werden konnten. Die Erklärungsansätze für das Autreten von CLI-Effekten waren abhängig von den Eigenschaften der einzelnen abgeprüften Strukturen und konnten nicht systematisch verallgemeinert werden. Dies bestätigte die wenig einheitlichen Einzelergebnisse vorhergehender Studien für die Perzeption und Produktion mehrerer verschiedener phonologischer Strukturen durch dieselben Sprechergruppen. So konnten methodische oder gruppeninterne Gründe für die sich widersprechenden Ergebnisse erstmals ausgeschlossen werden. Im vorletzten Kapitel dieser Arbeit werden darauf aufbauend alternative Gründe für die Ergebnisse erarbeitet. Hierfür wird das Konzept des komplexen verschachtelten (complex interlaced) eingeführt, das chaostheoretische Ansätze mit der Annahme einer hierarchischen Bit-Struktur verbindet. Die vorliegende Arbeit trägt zu aktuellen Debatten im Bereich der Drittsprachforschung insofern bei, als dass sie als erste mehrere phonologische „Einheiten“ (bits), also Phoneme, Allophone, Prozesse etc., an den gleichen Sprechern testet. Dadurch wurde deutlich, dass die konkrete Struktur phonologischer Systeme in den Mittelpunkt der Forschung zum Drittspracherwerb rücken muss, damit vorhandene Muster erkennbar werden können. Zudem wird vorgeschlagen, verstärkt auf Forschungsergebnisse und Theorien aus anderen Bereichen, wie beispielsweise dem Sprachwandel, der Varietätenlinguistik und der Kontaktlinguistik zurückzugreifen, um letztendlich Forschung am Drittspracherwerb für den theoretischen Erkenntnisgewinn nutzbar zu machen. N2 - Within the relatively new area of research on Third Language (L3) Acquisition, the subfield of phonology is growing, but still relatively understudied. Testing the current L3 models adopted from research on L3 syntax (see Rothman 2010, Bardel & Falk 2012, Flynn et al. 2004), the studies conducted in the area have mostly focused on the source and directionality of language transfer – both into the L3 and into the respective background languages – with some recent excursions into the role of extra-linguistic factors for multilingual learners (e.g., Wrembel 2015). The findings so far (mostly on production, with perception lagging behind) have been very diverse and, depending on the concrete study, can often be taken to give evidence for any of the prevalent models. This can be attributed to the wide range of different speaker and learner biographies as well as their language combinations and state of acquisition, but crucially the dilemma seems to be inherent in the (phonological) system in and of itself since viewing phonological interlanguage transfer as a one-dimensional and immediately transparent process based on direct correspondences between language systems does not seem to capture the complex nature of the phenomenon. In this doctoral thesis I investigate the acquisition of an additional phonological system by child and adult German heritage speakers of Turkish. Specifically, I explore how the learners deal with diverse phonological contrasts that promote positive contra negative transfer from their HL (Turkish) and their L2 (German), and how their perception and production is modulated by cognitive and affective variables. Moreover, I test contrasts that can be found neither in the HL nor in the L2 phonological system. The studies will shed light both on the question of how a new language is shaped and affected by different existing systems and on how two or more phonological grammars co-exist and/or interact in a speaker’s mind. I will argue that, rather than being regarded as simple full projection of language-specific property sets onto the target language, phonological transfer in multilinguals needs to be considered as a process of complex interactions and layers that are established on the level of individual phonological properties and abstract (typological) associations.

Of course, they are not only present in literary texts, but also in other media such as music and art. We consider ourselves aware of their selves, natures and skills as well as their sensory perceptions. Indeed, the ways we interact with non-human animals in everyday life and in the fictional world, how we perceive, think and talk about them as well as how we communicate with them are often related to our own self-perceptions in the social collective and in social-historical discourse. If we take a closer look at literary interspecies relations, we can detect clear shades in language and communication. Based on the approaches of Human-Animal Studies, this article deals with those nuances regarding animal-human encounters in Juan Ramón Jiménez’ Platero y yo (1914/1917) and Thomas Mann's Herr und Hund (1919) in a comparative perspective. In addition to this, a special focus is placed on the effect these elements can have on (inter)acting literary subjects as well as on extra-textual recipients.

Ein Vergleich T1 - Religion in the works of Jean Bodin and Michel de Montaigne. A comparison N2 - Das Leben der beiden Autoren Jean Bodin und Michel de Montaigne wurde von den blutigen Auseinandersetzungen der französischen Religionskriege geprägt. Aus diesem Grund besitzt die Religon in ihren Werken eine herausgehobene Stellung. In "Les six livres de la République" von Jean Bodin gründet dieser sein Prinzip der Souveränität auf die Religion. Diese gibt also die Grundregeln des menschlichen Zusammenlebens vor. In seinem Religionsgespräch "Colloqium Heptaplomeres" vertieft Bodin diese Gedanken und entwickelt ein Toleranzkonzept, das die Möglichkeit des Zusammenlebens verschiedener Religionen in einem Staat vorsieht. Die Religion ist bei Jean Bodin also vor allem ein Instrument, um die Gesellschaft zu organisieren. Michel de Montaigne betrachtet in seinen "Essais" die Religion weit kritischer. Für ihn ist sie eine Instanz, die die Menschen trennt anstatt sie zu vereinen. Er warnt vor ihren zerstörerischen Folgen. Gleichwohl entwickelt Montaigne ein Toleranzkonzept, das auf seiner Grundüberzeugung der Gewaltfreiheit beruht. Es zeigt sich, dass beide Autoren die Religion und ihre Nützlichkeit für die Gesellschaft unter verschiedenen Blickwinkeln betrachten. N2 - The lives of the authors Jean Bodin and Michel de Montaigne were greatly influenced by the violent struggles of the French religious wars. For this reason, religion had a deep impact on their works. In his book "Les six livres de la République", Bodin builds his ideal of sovereignity on a religious background. For him, religion is the foundation of human society. In his talks on religion "Colloquium Heptaplomeres" Bodin deepens his thoughts and develops a concept of toleration, which allows different religions to coexist within one country. For Bodin, religion is a tool to organise society. Michel de Montaigne has a more skeptical view on religion in his work "Essais". From his point of view, religion builds up barriers between people instead of unifying them. He predicts disstrous consequences caused by religious divisiveness. But Montaigne also develops a diverse concept of toleration, which is based on his belief in nonviolence. Hence it is evident, that both autors have a different view on religion and its utility for society.

I argue that the early conception of vowel weakening and its dialectal distribution has strongly influenced the kind of research we have been conducting about this phonetic feature to this day. The aim of this study therefore, is to sharpen our understanding of the former zeitgeist of research and to stimulate further big data-based studies on vowel weakening overcoming the traditional dialectal division of tierras bajas and tierras altas.

European and Brazilian Portuguese have the same syllable structure (Bisol 1999: 731, Mateus/d’Andrade 2000: 39), but are postlexically affected by contrary phenomena. After the occurence of phonological processes such as vowel reduction and deletion in European clusters and vowel epenthesis in Brazilian consonant clusters, the difference between lexical consonant clusters and CVC-sequences would be diminished in both varieties, so that EP would realize both as CC, while BP would realize both as CVC. In order to test whether clusters and CVC-sequences can be distinguished in production and perception, we discuss a physiological experiment and a perceptual study with participants of both varieties. The results show less overlap in BP than in EP. The reason for which is seen in the perception of intervocalic epenthetic elements even in lexical clusters in BP and more consonant clusters in EP.

Through work, he provides his basic necessities on earth and co-operate with God in the work of creation. He received this mandate to work from the very beginning of creation by God. In carrying out this mandate, man every human being reflects the very action of the creator of the Universe. God worked and intended that man who is created in His image and likeness continues the work of creation by working. Even though Man suffers and sweats through work and yet, in spite of all this toil-perhaps in a sense because of it – work is a good thing for man. It is not only good in the sense that it is useful or something to enjoy; it is also good as being something worthy, that is to say something that corresponds to man's dignity that expresses this dignity and increases it. This project examines man as a creature called to work and born into work. It is true that through work, man provides himself and his family with the basic necessities of life and everyday needs for the reason he charges wages for his sweat. Work goes beyond and should exceed the boundaries of the material benefit that comes out of it to the satisfaction and fulfilment for the very purpose we should work. The modern society has attached so much importance to money and material possession, the question then is how do we go along working in the spirit of improvement and renewal of the earth? The modern man understands work only as a means of making his daily bread. For this reason, he engages himself in an occupation that he has little or no interest in. He ends up quarrelling everyday with the people that he or she is supposed to serve through work. The result is low work output and waste of talents and the society loses an opportunity for improvement as every creature is supposed to contribute uniquely. A good example is Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation with a population estimate of about over 170,000,000 people and the sixth Oil producing Nation. N2 - Diese Dissertation betrachet den Mensch als eine Kreatur, die zur Arbeit berufen und in die Arbeit hineingeboren ist. Es ist wahr, dass man durch die Arbeit sich um die Grundbedürfnissen dieses Lebens und um die täglichen Bedarf für selbst und die Familie sorgt, aus diesem Grund verlangt er Lohn für seine Arbeit. Wir alle wissen, wie wichtig das Geld für die Gestaltung des Lebens ist. Allerdings bin ich der Meinung, dass der Grund für die Arbeit die Grenze vom Lohn und vom materiellen Nutzen übersteigen sollte. Vielmehr sollte es bei der Arbeit um die Erfüllung und die Zufriedenheit gehen. In der modernen Gesellschaft, in der viel Wert aufs Geld und auf materiellen Besitz gelegt wird, ist es unbedingt notwendig, sich darüber Gedanken zu machen, wie ernst es den Menschen mit dem Auftrag Gottes die Erde zu erneuern und die Welt zu verbessern ist. Der moderne Mensch versteht den Grund für die Arbeit nur als ein Mittel um das tägliche Brot zu zu erarbeiten. Deshalb sucht er manchmal einen Beruf, für den er keine Interesse hat und am Ende ist er weder mit sich noch mit den anderen die ihre Leistung brauchen zufrieden. Diese Situation raubt der Gesellschaft die Gelegenheit einer Entwicklung, da jeder Mensch etwas dazu beitragen sollte. Ein gutes Beispiel ist Nigeria mit etwa 170.000.000 Einwohnern, dass sehr reich an Mineralöl ist.

In both travel writings, the author is torn between aesthetic japonism – which spread all over Europe at the end of the 19th century – and exotic expectations, i.e. the picturesque fascination of the Other. The latter, however, remains unsatisfied throughout his stay. In both writings, Pierre Loti provides an insight into Japan that entirely reflects the spirit of his time. Thereby, he contributes to an image of Japan, which will long remain vivid in the Occident. Contemporaries perceive Loti’s representation of Japan as a realistic testimony, tinged with both sensory impressions and his highly ambiguous feelings towards the distant country, which in the end remained incomprehensible to him.

The author of this article intends to show that the importance of Echeverría for the development of Argentine national literature goes beyond the spreading of Romanticist aesthetics. Especially his poem La cautiva (1837) has been regarded as the national epic poem of Argentina because it represents national landscape and the early days of national history. However, as the classification of this narrative poem as the national epic poem already indicates, Echeverría also contributed to the presence of this prestigious genre at the River Plate region. By investigating Echeverría‘s less known verse texts – namely the texts which were read by all Romantics but which have been neglected by literary studies so far – this article illustrates that Echeverría gave decisive impulses for the presence of the epic poem at the River Plate.

Therefore, medievalists also need to focus on the transfer of their research topics to the public both within and outside the university. Based on current political demands calling for a change in communication culture, the article first of all deals theoretically with two different concepts of research communication, by distinguishing between forms of translation and those of popularization. Numerous public events, exhibitions, and cooperative projects with cities, schools, adult education centres, museums, and other educational institutions show that knowledge about the Middle Ages has been trans-mitted to interested laypersons for a long time. The authors see a particular challenge in the alterity of medieval culture, which at the same time provides an excellent opportunity for transferring research findings into society. The fascination with medieval materiality facilitates the transfer of knowledge by those disciplines that work with concrete objects, addressing issues of visuality and aesthetic experience. The article pinpoints conditions, strategies, and perspectives of successful research communication in medieval studies, and when focussing on cur-rent topics, the authors refer to concrete occasions and regional examples, showing why medieval research is still relevant today.

Although examples appear from the 14th century onwards, no thorough study of last wills and testaments as a specific form of English literature has been undertaken. This neglect may be because, within the broad field of the literary idea of 'legacy', parodies of the testament form ('mock testaments') and serious imitations ('lovers' testaments' etc.) appear in nearly every genre as either single texts or parts of larger ones, themselves crossing the genre boundaries. Then too, a large number of literary testaments come under the heading of 'minor literature' , such as shortlived pamphlets and broadsides. Yet the use which major authors like Shakespeare and Donne made of the literary testament shows that it had become an established form in the 16th century. The texts under examination here would normally be referred to as courtly love poems, political pamphlets, jests, cook-books, nursery rhymes, epic poems, autobiographical verse (Chatterton's Will), modern poems (yeats, Auden and McNeice) or as parts of masques, plays or novels. The aim is to show that one can legitimately speak of all these texts as belonging to a single literary category. In addition to adescription of the history of the literary testament in England, the central problem of this study was one of generic form. The attempt has been made to apply recent ideas of genre theory, i.e., the structuralist generative approach, to texts imitating a non-literary or utility document. This non-literary model is narrowly defined by criteria set by the Church and the Law. Thus it becomes possible to proceed as if the model were the generic norm of a corpus of greatly varying literary texts, thereby avoiding the problems of defming and re-defming selective principles (and of the need to assume a hypothetical 'first form') for the gathering of texts. The testament is a private re cord especially weil suited for studies of this kind because of its traditional fixed form and wide popularization from the Middle Ages onwards. In its complexity, the testament allows for more variation of style, content and purpose than does the letter, but is more disciplined in its form. In categorizing the testaments as such, it is necessary to study contemporary connotations and to defme the basic structure of the model. A selection of genuine, nonficticious testaments drawn up by members of the University of Cambridge in the 16th century has been examined for this purpose. (The 16th and 17th centuries can be taken as the most productive of literary testament writing.) There seems to exist a dichotomy in the testament itself; on the one hand there are mundane considerations (bequeathing of property) and on the other thoughts directed towards the life to come. Ihis dichotomy is observable not only on the content level, but also on the formal level and the semantic level. Ihe relation between the two testamentary elements, which is characterized by polarization, can be postulated as the basic structure of the testament and as the genre norm of the literary texts examined here. Taking into account the fact that the testament has been of varying importance in various ages, a wide selection of literary imitations of the testament from Chaucer to Yeats and after is studied in detail. A distinction may be drawn between mock testaments and serious imitations, with the former representing rebellion against the exalted authorities behind the testament. When the theoretical rebellion coincides with the practical function of satire or attack in a particular case, then the mock testament is raised to a true literary form. The serious imitation, on the other hand, makes use of the metaphysical element of the testament, and is directed to a worldly being or to the 'human condition' (as in examples drawn from the modern poets). Its problems and aim assign this study to the wider fjeld of genre research, particularly research into the relationship between genuine documents (utility texts) and their literary imitations.

A land surface temperature assessment in a semi-arid Mexican city JF - Land N2 - High rates of land conversion due to urbanization are causing fragmented and dispersed spatial patterns in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) worldwide. The occurrence of anthropogenic fires in the WUI represents an important environmental and social issue, threatening not only vegetated areas but also periurban inhabitants, as is the case in many Latin American cities. However, research has not focused on the dynamics of the local climate in the WUI. This study analyzes whether wildfires contribute to the increase in land surface temperature (LST) in the WUI of the metropolitan area of the city of Guanajuato (MACG), a semi-arid Mexican city. We estimated the pre- and post-fire LST for 2018–2021. Spatial clusters of high LST were detected using hot spot analysis and examined using ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc statistical tests to assess whether LST is related to the spatial distribution of wildfires during our study period. Our results indicate that the areas where the wildfires occurred, and their surroundings, show higher LST. This has negative implications for the local ecosystem and human population, which lacks adequate infrastructure and services to cope with the effects of rising temperatures. This is the first study assessing the increase in LST caused by wildfires in a WUI zone in Mexico.

The celebrations accompanying this anniversary were extended across the year and came to a closure with the publication of the 23rd edition of the Diccionario de la lengua española in 2014. Spanish media followed the above-mentioned festivities with a detailed coverage. The purpose of this article is to study the image of the RAE conveyed through the media and the Internet, which can be subsumed under the three terms ‘diverse, democratic and modern’. This form of representation is put into a broader context by considering the linguistic politics pursued by the RAE and the Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española (ASALE) under the keyword of panhispanism. Finally, a closer look is taken at El buen uso del español, a student manual published by the RAE and the ASALE in 2013, in relation to panhispanism and prescriptivism.

Nevertheless, as the two authors Jaucourt and Beauzée did not share completely identic points of view, the comparative lecture of both articles reveals a complementary perspective, particularly relating to the origin of language as a divine gift or humans’ creation for communicative needs. A further aspect of divergence concerns the textual composition of the article « Langage » as a structured informative text, and the article « Langue » as a long and freely composed writing including personal remarks by the author.

In using the strategy, research found that poor students or low proficiency learners struggled in their attempts to use it. Mainly, it was reported that it was due to their vocabulary knowledge was limited. In another aspect, retaining vocabulary learnt is also important. Such is essential since learning vocabulary does not mean knowing the definition only. Yet, learners must also be able to use the vocabulary as they engage in language skills such as reading, writing, speaking and listening. The study aims at finding the hindrances faced among poor students’ using contextual clues in retaining vocabulary. The study employed a case study to collect data from two basic students studying at a tertiary level. The study found that their hindrances in guessing meaning contexts were due to their being confused in guessing meaning when reading a sentence. Also, it was found that they were not able to find clues since they lacked vocabulary to guess correctly. The study implied that guessing meaning from context required sizeable vocabulary knowledge. Therefore, more training is necessary to assist basic learners in being successful in guessing from contexts.

The book makes a case for a phenomenology of globalization that pays attention to locally situated socioeconomic terrains, everyday practices, and cultures of knowledge. This is exemplified in relation to three topics: - the tension between ‘terrain’ and ‘territory’ in Defoe’s ‘Robinson Crusoe’ as a pioneering work of the globalist mentality (chapter 1) - the relationship between established conceptions of feminism and the concrete struggles of women in India since the 19th century (chapter 2) - the exploration of urban space and urban life in writings on India’s capital – from Ahmed Ali to Arundhati Roy (chapter 3). N2 - TERRAINS OF CONSCIOUSNESS emerges from a transnational research project in which scholars from Jamia Millia Islamia (New Delhi), the JMU Würzburg, and the University of Zurich collaborated to evolve new multilogical perspectives on what is usually referred to as globalization. The book makes a case for a PHENOMENOLOGY OF GLOBALIZATION that pays particular attention to the transformation of locally situated and individually experienced socioeconomic terrains, everyday practices, and cultures of knowledge. This perspective is exemplified in relation to three concrete research topics: - the tension between the concepts of ‘TERRAIN’ and ‘TERRITORY’ in parts one and two of Daniel Defoe’s "Robinson Crusoe as" a pioneering work of the globalist mentality (chapter 1) - the relationship between established abstract conceptions of FEMINISM and the concrete emancipatory struggles and life practices of women in India since the early 19th century (chapter 2) - the exploration of URBAN SPACE and URBAN LIFE as a socio-sensorial terrain in fictional and non-fictional writings on or of Delhi – from Ahmed Ali’s "Twilight in Delhi" (1940) to Arundhati Roy’s "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness" (2017). Throughout, the approach of Terrains of Consciousness is informed by the uncomfortable question of how the ‘liberating’ effects of globalization relate to its limiting and disrupting consequences. In these respects, it is vital to ask how globalization affects the dispossessed inhabitants of the world and its various societies.

Engaged Scholarship between National and Transnational Frames N2 - Can cultural studies attend to the problems of our globalized world? Or is this project of “engaged scholarship” too deeply rooted in the parochial terrain of the national? This collection of essays – the first volume in the new JMU Cultural Studies publication series – attends to this vital yet difficult question. Based on joint seminars bringing together emerging scholars from Germany and India, the contributions confront “classic texts” from US-American, British, and Indian cultural studies with the specific concerns and contemporary perspectives of the authors. The collection thus tests the potentials of the tradition to speak to the transnational as well as the national environments of the very present. Emphasis is placed on Marxist and feminist legacies, which are then projected into the domains of contemporary disability, food, and film studies.

This volume, and the unruly texts that claim space here, are written not only to question and challenge standardized patterns of representation, but also to contribute to undisciplining the genres and practices of traditional academic writing by exploring alternative representational form(at)s. Climate Changes Global Perspectives is the first publication in the Challenges of Modernity series, which seeks to collect and make available projects of engaged scholarship in the humanities.

PB - Würzburg University Press CY - Würzburg ER - TY - BOOK ED - Lazebna, Nataliia ED - Kumar, Dinesh T1 - Studies in Modern English N2 - The book "Studies in Modern English" interprets English-language communication in the humanitarian paradigm of knowledge within the linguistic and psycho-sociocultural study of speech activity prioritizing cognitive and communicative paradigms. Digital discourse as the formation of new semiotic phenomena has crowned the rapid scientific and technological progress. Researchers' scientific achievements represented in the book are systemic and valid in terms of evidence-based narratives, which reflect the transformational horizon of information theory, communication theory, and theory of linguodidactics in modern English verbal, creative and digital environments. The book represents an integrated approach to the study of modern English as an open synergetic system, which requires a description of the relationship between verbal and nonverbal notions in digital space. The book integrates such innovative perspectives as the interaction of natural English and programming languages, cyber aggression as a communicative pattern in English-language digital discourse, ethics, and democratization of modern English language, relevant developments in the field of English language as a Foreign Language, and other related issues. A complex focus of the book in the realm of modern English-language communication concerns verbal and nonverbal notions analyzed in the context of socio-cultural and digital communicative spaces.
