Auch wenn nicht unbedingt in einer chronologischen Kontinuität erfährt die Luthersprache eine gewisse Perpetuierung darin, dass ihr über Dekaden hinweg auch literaturgeschichtlich weiterhin Huldigung dargebracht wird. Anschaulich hierfür darf Goethes – shakespearienisch geprägter – Sprachgebrauch (vgl. Berndhardt, 2014) in seinem Goethes Stück Götz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand stehen, dessen 'Sprachmosaik' das Lutherdeutsch zum mit konstituierenden Sprachmuster hat. In neutraler Distanzierung von der Polemik, dass Luther „'Schöpfer' [der deutschen] Schriftsprache [oder] eher 'Nachzügler'“ (vgl. u.a. Besch, 1999, S. 4) wäre oder im Gegensatz dazu er „nicht der Sprachschöpfer [ist] […][, sondern] eingebettet in die Entwicklung“ (vgl. Kettmann, 2008, nachträglich Besch, 2014) bzw. ob ihm überhaupt eine [ausschlaggebende] „Bedeutung“ hinsichtlich der „Ausbildung der neuhochdeutschen Schriftsprache“ (vgl. Burdach, 1996) zuzusprechen sei, verfolgt die vorliegende – nicht primär sprachhistorisch ausgerichtete – Studie einen neuen Ansatz. Ihr Ziel ist es vielmehr, wie es sich in der Themenformulierung herausartikuliert, Goethes Götz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand im Hinblick auf seine sprachlich-ästhetische Gestaltung, nämlich unter dem besonderen Aspekt dessen Bestand an Relikten des „Lutherdeutsch“, exemplarisch hermeneutisch bzw. analytisch-interpretatorisch zu reflektieren. Hierbei werden den Leitfragen nachgegangen, ob und inwieweit Luthers epochenbrechende Sprachwirkung (vgl. Besch, 2014, S. 49, u.a.) in Goethes Götz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand Resonanz aufweist und nicht zuletzt was dies an Implikation im Sinne eines Neu-Lesens des gewürdigten Werkes beinhaltet. Die Studie stellt die epochenübergreifende Perennität der [Sprach-]Wirkung Luthers insbesondere in der Literatur heraus, wovon die – in zwar restringiertem Ausmaß bestehende – jedoch würdigungswerte Präsenz von Relikten der Luthersprache sowie lutherbezogenen biographischen Spuren im untersuchten Drama wohl bezeugen kann. Insofern stellt sie rezeptionsästhetisch ein neues Herangehen an das Drama dar. "Luther’s language" is – not necessarily in a chronologic continuity – perpetuated for it has been paid tribute to over the decades, most especially in literature. Language use as it reflects in Goethe’s Shakespearian-featured play Götz von Berlichingen evidences this. Indeed, "Luther’s German" constitutes a pattern of the language mosaic which characterizes the named play. The present study is not primarily meant as a language history study. Rather, it is intended as an innovative approach which, in neutral distancing from the polemic related to Luther’s role (whether as founder vs. mere contemporary or as background vs. foreground actor) regarding the written language, examines, through literary hermeneutics-oriented methodology, Goethe’s play titled Götz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand from the angle of its aesthetic and linguistic configuration, especially focussing on "relics" of the "Luther’s German" therein. Namely in dealing with three core questions. That is, on one hand, if and to which extent the effect of the historically transversal "Luther’s language" reflects in the play under study and, on the other hand, which implication is attached thereto towards a new interpretative approach to the same. The study demonstrates the "timelessness" of Luther’s influence and most especially of "his" language in literature, as evidenced by the presence of not only vestige of Luther’s Language but also Luther-related biographic features in Goethe’s play Götz von Berlichingen… Even though to a relatively restricted extent still worth mentioning. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0884/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

This study discusses about language use occurred by male and female host in Hitam Putih talk show. The method of this research is descriptive qualitative. The subjects of this study are male and female host in Hitam Putih talk show. The data are the utterances produced by male and female host in Hitam Putih talk show. This research focuses on the show broadcasted on October 2016 by taking 4 videos randomly. The objective of this study is to describe kinds of the language use uttered by male and female host in Hitam Putih talk show. The findings showed that the kinds of language use consist of 6 parts. The dominant language use uttered by male host is expletive, because male’s utterances are frequently stated in a negative connotation. On the other hand, female host utterances are found in specialized vocabulary as the most dominant because female host has more interest in talking family affairs, such as the education of children, clothes, cooking, and fashion, etc. Women also tended to talk about one thing related to the home and domestic activities. However, the representation of language use uttered by male and female are deficit, dominance and different. Keywords: Language Use, Gender, Talk Show

Two perspectives on local and global societies, and therefore also on education, are explored and discussed in this paper. On one hand, society as a civilisation is producing an outcome-based discourse with a focus on marketplaces, governance, bureaucracies and accountability. On the other hand, society focuses on cul-ture through arts, language, history, relations and communication, producing a democratic Bildung dis-course. At a global level, I see those discourses shaping discourses of world citizenship and of global mar-ketplace logics with technocratic homogenisation. Those trends and tendencies are found through social analytic strategies in these categories: context of discourses, visions, themes, processes, and leadership.

Arabic Fusha is a language that is maintained and in principle same as Arabic which is used in the time of Jahiliya and the beginning of Islam. Whereas Arabic Amiya is Arabic has undergone many changes from the form of the Fusha, both from the aspect of vocabulary and structure. At the end of the 19th century there was an appeal to use Arabic Amiya as an oral and written language. The reason is because it is used by the Arab community in general and because of its simple form and structure. On the other hand, there are many defenders of Arabic Fusha who offer a number of weaknesses in Arabic Amiya as the reason for their rejection. In fact, both types of Arabic language still exist in Arabic society with their respective functions.

Innovation in creating consumer values as an important factor in socio-economic selection making  Consumption concerns many aspects of human life in both material and non-material dimensions. It shapes the attitude towards the family, spare time management, religion or culture. It sets the shape of our dreams, desires and life aspirations. On the one hand, it affects the system of our values, on the other hand, it is inspired by this system. Opponents of consumption, treating it as a secondary value and value in itself, accuse it of leading to the development of such phenomena as: mass entertainment, commercialization of culture or devel­opment of quite unnecessary, apparent needs. Instead, it removes the values generally respected in so­ciety, such as: interest in the fate of others, solidarity, care for the environment or the future of next gen­erations. Today’s consumer is not a mindless human being subject to the rules of the market, they are increasingly educated, aware and responsible. They make choices based not only on their own needs but based on values existing in a given society. They purchase wisely and respectfully, remembering that today’s choices will be the legacy for future generations, thus the consumer’s interest must be synchronized with these generations. Nowadays, it is the consumer who creates the image of the company, forcing it to take ethical and moral actions, and also heading for conscious consumption. Such an attitude creates the opportunity to include the consumer in the processes of companies’ activities and their innovations, as well as treating them personally and more like a partner. In the realities of the new economic, political, and social system, new values of individuals, as well as of entire social groups associated with the behaviour of consumers of the modern world are developing. Consumption, on the one hand, determines the shape of dreams, desires and the way of life. On the other hand, based on an innovative approach to it, it performs a symbolic function that gives a deeper and wider perspective to existing products, emphasizing them as exceeding their useful functions. Consumers becoming more aware of their choices take into account not only the system of their own values but also the values existing in a given society. This innovative approach to consumption creates new quality, a new lifestyle, it shapes new roles, it draws attention to the environment around us, and it cares about the sensible use of its resources and its means. Following values in the selection of products reveals responsibility connected to decision making, its impact on the environment and on entire social groups. They allow the individual to real­ize themselves in the group and the human community, they enable human development, achieving customer satisfaction, and avoiding the plundering economy.

AbstractPrevious work on psych predicates has so far mostly focused on verbs and their non-canonical argument structures within and across languages. In this study, we propose a usage-based account using parallel subtitles in seven European languages in order to examine the intralinguistic and crosslinguistic variation of psychological expressions. We start out from 12 semantically defined psychological concepts rather than concrete constructions; this allows us to include verbal and non-verbal expressions and thus to assess the variation and distribution of construction types of psychological expressions found in language use. We show that while there is a high degree of variation in terms of constructions used within languages, psychological expressions are relatively stable across languages. On the other hand, we find systematic, crosslinguistic concept-specific preferences for psychological expressions.

In the present paper, we show Iberian or Iberian-Guanche scripts found in the Middle of Sahara Desert, Ti-m Missaou (Tim Missao, Tim Missaw), 270 km SouthWest of Tamanrasset on Ahaggar or Hoggar Mountains (Mts.) area (Algeria). More Iberian scripts may be earthed beneath Sahara Desert sands or have been neglected by observers. We also put forward that Iberian semi-syllabary may have its origin in the Neolithic Saharo-Canarian Circle, the same as other Mediterranean, Atlantic and European lineal scripts (apart from Berber/Tuareg) like Etruscan, Runes, Old Italian languages, Minoan Lineal A, Sitovo and Gradeshnitsa (Bulgaria) writings (6,000 yearsBC) and others. In fact, Strabo wrote that Iberians had written language before since 6,000 BC. On the other hand, Sahara Desert was green and populated since before 5,000 years BC and we had proposed that most of Mediterranean culture, languages and writing, had a Saharan origin. Ti-m Missaou Sahara Iberian inscriptions, together with our previous and others researches on Canary Islands, further support this proposal, i.e.: rock scripts, Gimbutas-like Paleolithic figurines and unusual artifacts, like a lunisolar Egyptian-like calendar (“Cheeseboard/Quesera” at Lanzarote) carved in a Megalithic stone, do no support that Phoenicians and Romans carried Canarian ancient Guanche culture. Finally, a continuous lineal writing systems developing seems to have occurred during Paleolithic and Neolithic Epochs, which also harbor the related incise Lineal Megalithic Scripts that could have given rise to Iberian development and other lineal African, European and Mediterranean lineal language scripts. Our present new data is interpreted in the context of the Sahara people migration which occurred when hyperarid conditions started establishing about 6,000 years BC.

This cognitive discoursal study explores human cognitive mechanisms by analyzing Football Players’ Commercial Transfer News (FPCTN) through adopting Gibbs’ (2010) embodied view of image schemas in language use and their interpretations in Chinese sports contexts, based on the database of 36 pieces of news reports collected from authoritative sports websites. The results demonstrate that FPCTN writers actively construct their meanings and perspectives by applying various metaphysical and metaphysicalized forms of image schemas, which are grounded on our knowledge and daily bodily experience. Discourse consumers, on the other hand, unconsciously engage themselves in imaginative simulation processes, which are fundamentally embodied in their past and present bodily experiences, to facilitate their understanding of linguistic information and writers’ intentions, which predicates the process of public general cognition construction and frame, meanwhile, constituting the mechanism of a news reader’s passionate identification with and attachment to a potential commodity in his/her social and entertainment life.

The present investigation was carried out in Holambra, a community of Dutch origin in Brazil. The goal was to analyze the codeswitching between Dutch and Portuguese practised by the immigrants in their everyday speech, taking into account both grammatical and functional aspects. Moreover, the codeswitching of the first and second generations were compared, focusing on the different motives, the size of switched constituents, and the type of codeswitching. Previous theories suggested a relationship between grammatical characteristics on the one hand, and functions of individual switches, attitudes towards the languages and communities involved, and language ability on the other hand. In this article, results of the three analyses are presented and the language use and codeswitching of the different generations in this community are described. The results show an intermediate generation consisting of the most balanced bilinguals, who codeswitch often and without difficulties, using the full range of both languages. The first and second generations, however, show less diversity in their codeswitching, mainly switching nouns. Finally, suggestions for future investigation are presented.

Discourse Markers are usually discussed as terms which signal the relationship between two contiguous sentences, S1—DM—S2 (“We started late. Yet, somehow, we arrived on time.”) In the present paper, I examine the class of English Contrastive Discourse Markers (CDMs) to determine what pairs of them occur acceptably in a sentence (“The health care system needs more primary care physicians. However, on the other hand, they are the doctors who are paid at the bottom of the scale.”), those which are unacceptable (“We could go to Jamaica for our vacation this year. On the other hand, nevertheless, we could stay home.”), and others for which the jury is out. Several tentative generalizations, including the role of spoken vs. written language are made but the complete solution is far down the road.
