Überlegungen zur Textarbeit in einem lernaktiven Fremdsprachenunterricht
(1995)
In this paper I discuss the role of learning strategies in the context of learning and instruction. I start out by describing the discrepancy between several statements in the discussion of "strategies" and "techniques ". Taking into account the findings of investigations in this field, I point out the importance of both cognitive and affective factors. Not only learning strategies have to be considered: individual differences, conceptual knowledge and attitudes seem to interact with strategies to produce strategy ...

The lexicalization of complex constructions: an analysis of adjective-noun combinations
(Pasithee : Open Access Electronic Publications; Library & Information Center - University of Patras, 2016)
The current paper discusses the lexicalization of complex constructions composed of an adjective and a noun. It is argued that compounds/compound-like constructions are more prone to become lexicalized than phrases/phrase-like constructions. The relationship between lexicalization and the cognitive process of memorization represents a key point of our analysis. We report evidence from psycholinguistic studies contrasting compounds/compound-like constructions to phrases/phrase-like constructions either within a single ...

Evaluation von Schulleistungen im bilingualen Sachfachunterricht
(Schroedel Verlag : Diesterweg, 2002)
Im folgenden Artikel werden Evaluationsmoglichkeiten von schriftlichen Leistungen im bilingualen Unterricht diskutiert und kritisch reflektiert. Nach einer Klärung der Begriffe Evaluation von Schulleistungen und bilingualer Sachfachunterricht, werden der Forschungsstand und die Relevanz des Themas aufgezeigt. Anschließend wird anhand ministerieller Vorgaben sowie am Beispiel von Ergebnissen einer empirischen Untersuchung dargestellt, wie Evaluation bilingualer Leistungen gegenwartig durchgefuhrt wird. Im Anschluss ...

Handlungsorientierter Englischunterricht: Der Schlüssel zur berufsqualifizierenden Fremdsprachenkompetenz für Europa nach 1992?
(Universität des Saarlandes, Romanistisches Institut, 1993)
Ausgebend von zwei empirischen Untersuchungen wird zunächst das Profil des in der Fremdsprache qualifizierten Euroschülers und Euroauszubildenden dargestellt, um es dann dem Erwartungs- und Einstellungsprofil einer ausgewählten Population von Vertretern der Jugendgeneration gegenüberzustellen, die als erste eine Ausbildung im Neuen Europa beginnen werden. Bei der Profilerstellung des Euroschülers und -auszubildenden beziehe ich mich auf Ergebnisse einer Bedarfsanalyse in der Industrie. Dieser Bedarfsforschung werden ...

Goal prevalence and situation types: An empirical analysis of differences in Greek and German motion event descriptions
(Bloomsbury Academic, 2020)
The aim of the current study is to investigate crosslinguistic differences in the encoding of motion events and the distribution of their constituent parts, that is, the manner as well as the path focusing mainly on the Goal component. In the abundant literature on the effect of the lexicalization pattern of a language (Satellite- versus Verb-framed), only a few studies have systematically taken into account the specific properties of the situation underlying a verbalization. With a focus on German and Greek, we ...

Handlungsorientierter Englischunterricht zwischen den Zwängen einer pluralistischen Gesellschaft, der pädagogischen Freiheit des Lehrers und den Ansprüchen des Schülers - ein circulus vitiosus?
(Universitätsverlag Dr. N. Brockmeyer, 1995)
The article is based on an empirical project that explored linguistic and educational needs from 1990 till 1992 for future Europe. The matter of discussion attends to the question whether 'action-oriented' foreign language teaching taking place between the constraints of the pluralistic society, the pedagogic freedom of the teacher and the demands, needs and interests of the pupil is a vicious circle or not. Therefore the multifarious conditions of language teaching are focussed. The following spheres are pointed out ...

Mediating between concepts and language - Processing structures
(Mouton de Gruyter, 2003)
One of the main functions of language is to abstract over complex non-verbal message structures. The language system generates highly compact linguistic material which, however, must still enable the recipient of the corresponding linear grammatical sequence to fully infer the intended message. To guarantee this a device is required which links concepts and grammar in a systematic fashion by negotiating the requirements of both the generalized linguistic structures and the underlying conceptual complexes. Typically, ...

Generic rescue: argument alternations the monotonicity condition
(De Gruyter Mouton, 2013)
Generic interpretations as in “The tiger kills to survive” have often been observed to reconstitute the linguistic acceptability of certain verb argument structure modifications. But can the right context rescue everything? This paper investigates the impact a generic interpretation can have on three types of argument alternations: (i) the intransitive use of inherently telic verbs like “to kill”, (ii) the intransitive use of stative verbs like “to love”, and (iii) middle alternations like “it reads easily”. It will ...

How real are adjective order constraints? Multiple prenominal adjectives at the grammatical interfaces
(2019)
Adjective order restrictions on attributive adjectives (AORs) have been subject to debate in modern linguistic research for a long time. Most generally, the question whether AORs can be located in grammar as such in rule-based fashion is still unsettled. In the current paper, we largely argue against this view and claim that several of the core data to be explained are preferences based on norms rather than rules. A pragmatic explanation is offered to account for marked or apparently ungrammatical examples. First, ...

Argument-structural restrictions on word-formation patterns
(De Gruyter Mouton, 2015)
The implementation of argument-structural effects on word-formation is a vital aspect in modeling the lexical system and the interface between morphology and syntax. The current article provides an overview of theoretical perspectives in the field and presents analyses of structural principles holding in the domain. A number of test cases relating to fundamental operations, e.g., in compounding and nominalization are discussed, as well as specific conditions restricting the formation of morphologically complex words.
