Medical Arabic is a valuable resource for students interested in learning medical Arabic at ACTFL level Advanced Low. Effective communication is essential in health care, and communication is most effective when both parties share a common language, therefore resulting in a comfortable relationship between health care provider and patient. This textbook is intended for those with prior knowledge of Arabic language and grammar. It is designed to provide students with the linguistic and cultural competencies and medical Arabic terminology necessary to communicate in medical settings such as a hospital, clinic, or a community health care facility. Students will be able to ask questions in Arabic and provide answers in common medical situations, conduct patient interviews, and understand a wider variety of possible responses from patients. The book provides clear explanations of medical vocabulary and concepts as they occur in the reading materials to encourage active interaction with the text. The book's drills are designed as either in-class exercises or homework. The answer key for the book exercises is also provided as a downloadable e-resource. Written by dynamic authors who taught Arabic as a foreign language for several years and reviewed by physicians and professionals in the field, the book is an essential guide for students in medical school, biology, and other science majors. Students will find Medical Arabic more than merely a textbook but rather a pathway to enhance their communication skills effectively.

Die Beitrage bieten neue Erkenntnisse uber das bisher weitgehend unerforschte Wortbildungssystem des Mittelhochdeutschen. Nach den Methoden der historisch-synchronen Wortbildungsanalyse wird die nominale Derivation (Substantivsuffigierung, Adjektivsuffigierung/-prafigierung) auf der Grundlage des "Corpus der altdeutschen Originalurkunden" untersucht. Die systematisch erfassten Ableitungen werden morphologisch und semantisch-funktional unter Berucksichtigung ihrer sprachgeographischen Verteilung analysiert. Daraus resultiert die exemplarische Darstellung des Wortbildungssystems der deutschen Urkundensprache des 13. Jahrhunderts. Die Ergebnisse werden in einem morphologisch-semasiologischen und einem onomasiologischen Teil prasentiert. Die synchrone Analyse wird durch eine diachrone Einordnung des Befunds erganzt, die sich aus dem Vergleich mit den Systemen der spateren Sprachstufen (Fruhneuhochdeutsch, geschriebene/gesprochene Gegenwartssprache) ergibt. So wird ein UEberblick uber Wandel und Konstanz im deutschen Wortbildungssystem erreicht. Die detaillierte Darstellung der Lexeme und die Ergebnisse zu Korrespondenz und Konvergenz wortgebildeter Woerter im Korpus stellt zudem einen Beitrag zur mhd. Lexikologie dar.

Migration verandert unsere Gesellschaft nachhaltig. Sprache spielt dabei die zentrale Rolle. Sprachlich-kommunikative Prozesse bestimmen Bildungs- und Karrierechancen der Migranten, die kulturelle Teilhabe an Herkunfts- und Aufnahmekultur und die Herstellung von interpersoneller Solidaritat, Ab- und Ausgrenzung. DerJahrgangsband 2012widmet sich dem Deutsch der Migranten in seinen linguistischen, soziologischen und padagogischen Dimensionen. Im Brennpunkt steht, wie Migranten das Deutsche erwerben, verandern und in Relation zu den Herkunftssprachen benutzen: Wie gestaltet sich der Erwerb von Deutsch als Zweitsprache unter dem Einfluss unterschiedlicher Erstsprachen? Welche ein- und mehrsprachigen Weisen des Sprechens und Schreibens benutzen Migranten? Welche strukturellen Besonderheiten weist ihr Deutsch auf? Welche Rolle spielen Sprache und Kommunikation fur die Ausbildung, Bewahrung und Transformation von Identitatsentwurfen und biographischen Selbstverstandnissen? Wie gestalten sich Prozesse der sprachlichen Kommunikation von Migranten und Einheimischen? Wie hangen Sprache, Bildungs- und Berufssituation der Migranten zusammen?

The study is principally based on empirical data; it examines language development processes in the four regionally contiguous cities of Emmerich, Geldern, Nijmegen and Wesel in the early modern age. Using the linguistic study of variables and historical sociolinguistics, the author traces the processes initiating the formation of the linguistic boundary between German and Nederlans in the area of Rhine and Meuse. In this, the viability is tested both of the "classic" theories of German language standardisation (territorial influence, influence of printing and of Luther's language) and of more recent explanatory approaches (significance of the cities and the multilingualism of the upper classes). The study has an important contribution to make to the historical linguistic description of the early stage in the genesis of the modern national languages of German and Dutch.

A standard work of historical word formation research. Still unsurpassed, it sums up the results of predecessors in this area (the classical works of J. Grimm and W. Wilmanns and the presentations of H. Paul and F. Kluge) in a clear and understandable manner. Prof. Dr. Kurt Gartner"

What does the grammatical category tense have to do with orality, and how can this relationship be investigated in historical context? This study explores this question based on a detailed empirical investigation of the Middle High German tense system. Here the textual and functional distribution of the tenses are traced back to a binary structured system depending on two different discourse modes, thus showing an indirect relationship between tense and a oehistorical oralitya .

The study focuses on the correlations existing between the conceptual properties of the modalities of visual and auditory perception and the semantic-syntactic behavior of the verbs of perception ver/voir, oA-r/entendre, mirar/regarder, and escuchar/A(c)couter. In part one of the book, the author argues that visual perception and auditory perception differ in terms of extra-linguistic criteria. Part two draws upon empirical material to advance syntactic evidence for a connection between the cognitive features of visual and auditory perception and the syntactic behavior of verbs expressing such perception.

This volume covers more than 200 years of recording specific language in German explanatory dictionaries. For the first time, the comparative analysis of six dictionaries from the 18th to the 20th century provides reliable data which subject areas were covered lexicographically and which special methods of marking were used. Nautical language serves as an example to show constancy and changes in adding new specific vocabularies in the above mentioned time period. A broad overview of specific language research since the 19th century rounds off the book.

Using significant examples, this volume offers an overview of the ever growing range of electronic information resources for scholars of German studies. Modern forms of library catalogues, bibliographies and article databases, as well as web catalogues, virtual special libraries, digital libraries, subject portals, electronic encyclopaedia and dictionaries are all dealt with in detail. In addition, scholarly search engines, information services and German studies reviews are taken into account, as are the different forms of scholarly communication on the Internet.

The Intertext series has been specifically designed to meet the needs of contemporary English Language Studies. The core book, Working with Texts, is the foundation text which provides an introduction to language analysis. It is complemented by a range of 'satellite' titles which provide students with hands-on practical experience of textual analysis through special topics. They can be used individually or in conjunction with Working with Texts.
Drawing on literary and linguistic theory for analysis of texts, The Language of Advertising covers all aspects of advertising language, from the interrelation of language, image and layout to the discourse between 'reader' and advertisement.
The second edition has been substantially rewritten to incorporate recent developments in the field. Features include:
* a range of new advertisements, from Orange to Young Person's Railcard
* new material on internet advertising and its influence on paper texts
* new material on advertising designed to be seen 'on the move'
* new activities to support student-directed study
* updated Further Reading sections and a list of URLS for students to visit.

This monograph on the verb have in the function of a full verb asserts that have-constructions in the syntactic analysis are to be placed in relationship with absolute with-constructions (cf. Mit den Fussen auf dem Tisch erwarte ich meine Schwiegereltern Literal translation: With my feet on the table I expect my parents-in-law]). Furthermore, the study also contributes to a better understanding of the syntax and semantics of adjectives. The findings are interpreted within the context of generative and optimal theoretical models."
