Item Verb und Ellipse im heutigen Deutsch : zum Fehlen" verbabhängiger Bestimmungen in Theorie und Praxis"(1990) Dentler, Sigrid, 1944-Item Sackgasse oder Autobahn? Deutsch in Deutschland erweben. Zu Fortgeschrittenenvarietäten in L3 Deutsch erwachsener Schweden(2008) Trollstad, IngerAbstractThe purpose of this study is to investigate the acquisition of L3 German by adult native speakers of Swedish living in Germany for 3 to >30 years (AO>18 years). These learners have different professions or study other subjects than languages at German universities. All of them learnt L2 English and all but one L3 German in upper secondary schools in Sweden.This thesis is a holistic study, the ambition of which is to answer the following questions:- What are the common characteristics, if any, of the interlanguages of these Swedish learners? - In what language domains could adult learners attain near-native or native-like proficiency?- What factors contribute to successful foreign language acquisition?Five tests were presented to the Swedish participants and to a group of native Germans:- a multiple-choice lexicon test- a grammaticality judgement test- an oral production test (retelling a story and commenting on demographic pyramid graphs)- a test of modal particles (also elicited in oral production)- a test of speech act performanceA highly significant correlation between length of residence/quantity of input and the result of the lexicon test was found. Thus some of the tested non-native speakers should be able to attain native-like proficiency in this domain. In morphosyntax difficulties lie in the use of case rather than in word-order, tense and subjunctive. In pragmatics Swedish learners are able to insert modal particles into sentences, although they make scarce use of them in oral production. Common characteristics are Swedish information structure and the use of verbal phrases instead of German information structure and nominal style. In speech act performance Swedish learners often choose unmarked IFIDs instead of more difficult marked ones. Cognitive and affective factors could not be quantified, but have been considered in the elicitation of successful ultimate attainment.Results from a self assessment of language skills, based on the Council of Europe scale, was compared with the test results of the Swedish participants. Two participants were considered native-like in all tested domains.Title: Sackgasse oder Autobahn?

The concept of Gegenständlichkeit discussed by Grass in several essays and in novels acts as a foil to his work. The role of Gegenständlichkeit is examined in two steps: firstly Günter Grass own concept of art is presented; and secondly five Grass-books, as a special form of the concept of Gegenständlichkeit , are analysed. The so-called Text-Bild-Bände contain both literary texts and visual artwork. Grass calls this the neue, alle meine Möglichkeiten versammelnde Form (Fünf Jahrzehnte. Ein Werkstattbericht). The first part of this study deals with Grass visual artwork as a continuous part of his production. In the second part Grass understanding of Gegenständlichkeit and art as inclusive concepts of artistic skill are analysed, as well as the author s social-political commitment. This is achieved by analyzing two speeches: Vom Stillstand im Fortschritt. Variationen zu Albrecht Dürers Kupferstich Melencolia I (1971) and Der Traum der Vernunft (1984), the latter discussing ideas of the Enlightenment period in relation to Goya s aquatinta etching El sueño de la razón produce monstrous . The third and central part of this study focuses on the five text-picture-books in the order of date of publication: Zunge zeigen (1988), Totes Holz (1990), Fundsachen für Nichtleser (1997), Mein Jahrhundert (1999) und Letzte Tänze (2003). Zunge zeigen, being Grass first text-picture-book, is given special analytical attention, not only because it is the first one: It is also the one with the most stringent performance. The analysis of all of Grass Text-Bild-Bände shows that the combination of the literary text and the visual artwork in each text-picture-book are composed specifically for each book, including the design of the physical book as a product. Grass uses pictures and text within one book to put the main subject of his interest into different perspectives. Different artforms, different literary genres and different forms of composition are used within a Text-Bild-Band . Art for Grass includes different ways of artistic expression. Each technique and literary genre is used for its unique expression. But Grass also crosses the borders between the arts and genres to expand his possibilities of expression.Key words and names: Günter Grass, Kunst (art), Literatur (literature), Text (text), Bild (picture), Gattung (genre), Gegenständlichkeit, Aufklärung (enlightenment), Melancholie (melancholy), Schuld und Scham (guilt and shame), Geschichte (history), Ethik und Handeln (ethics and action)Item Fiktionales Erzählen.
