Die Studie zeigt die Existenz verschiedener Ausdrucksmoeglichkeiten des Erfolgs und der Erfolgsrelationen in den aspektualen Systemen der tschechischen und der deutschen Sprache. Sie beschreibt diese Mittel detailliert anhand kontrastiver Analysen von tschechischen und deutschen Verben und Verbpaaren, damit die Sprachbenutzer und -benutzerinnen vor allem bei der UEbersetzung dieser semantischen Nuancen im Tschechischen die jeweilige Nuance identifizieren und aquivalent im Deutschen darstellen koennen. Der Autor stellt Loesungsvorschlage in Woerterbuchern und UEbersetzungen dar und fuhrt eine UEbersicht der Moeglichkeiten an, die zum Ausdruck der semantischen Relation im Deutschen gebraucht werden koennen.

Pronunciation Instruction in English for Academic Purposes - An Investigation of Attitudes, Beliefs and Practices (Paperback,... Pronunciation Instruction in English for Academic Purposes - An Investigation of Attitudes, Beliefs and Practices (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020)
John Hodgetts
R4,231 Discovery Miles 42 310 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This book examines the pronunciation goals of teachers, course leaders, and learners on a ten-week UK pre-sessional access course, particularly with regard to suprasegmental instruction and target of instruction on how these goals are reflected in pronunciation assessment, and how teacher goals are informed by their attitudes and beliefs. A mixed methods approach, including direct observation and semi-structured interviews, is employed to address the area of enquiry. Results show a lack of clarity of course goals. Although there is a firm emphasis on suprasegmental instruction, in semi-structured interviews, teachers report a lack of clear course goals and guidance. Assessment and practice do not always adhere to a goal of intelligibility, and support for teachers, in terms of the materials and how they might be exploited seems limited. The book concludes with tentative recommendations on how suprasegmental instruction might be facilitated on EAP and other courses

This highly illustrated textbook is both a reference and activity book for all beginners and early intermediate students of Arabic. As a reference book, it provides friendly theme-based vocabulary lists to perfect pronunciation through both listening and repetition. As an activity book, it helps absorb and practise vocabulary through a variety of engaging exercises. Each of the units in the book is divided into two sections with the first section suitable for early beginners, and the second section for late beginners or early intermediate students. Each section presents key vocabulary followed by a wide range of activities. This book assumes a reasonable knowledge of the Arabic script and basic grammar, and is intended for beginners and early intermediate students to back up learning elsewhere. Vocabulary acquisition and pronunciation are both important but sometimes tricky aspects of learning Arabic, and this book aims to help overcome this.

Wirtschaftlicher Erfolg hangt nicht zuletzt von der Fahigkeit ab, den Geschaftspartner zu uberzeugen und zu einer erwunschten Handlung zu animieren. Die Autorin analysiert deutsche und polnische Geschaftsbriefe im Hinblick auf den Ausdruck von Intentionen der Verfasser. Eine breite Palette unterschiedlicher Originalbriefe wird textsortenlinguistisch beschrieben und mit Methoden der Illokutionsstrukturanalyse empirisch vergleichend untersucht. Die Ergebnisse werden im Lichte aktueller textanalytischer Ansatze diskutiert. Zudem werden sprachliche Mechanismen des Argumentierens und Motivierens des Partners in der polnischen und deutschen Geschaftspraxis aufgezeigt und miteinander kontrastiert. Daraus ergeben sich relevante Einsichten fur die interkulturelle Unternehmenskommunikation.

R1,532 Discovery Miles 15 320 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Fur viele Sprachwissenschaftler ebenso wie fur Sprachbenutzer ist Nicht-Verstehen eine unabsichtlich entstehende Randerscheinung in der Kommunikation, die es zu vermeiden gilt. Die Beitrage in diesem Band rucken das negative Image des Nicht-Verstehens ein wenig zurecht. Sie analysieren und kategorisieren die Formen des Nicht-Verstehens aus unterschiedlichen ingenieurs- wie geisteswissenschaftlichen Blickwinkeln heraus fur verschiedene Sprachen und Medien. Nicht-Verstehen ist - mal mehr, mal weniger ausgepragt - in geschriebener wie gesprochener Sprache allgegenwartig und wird von Sprachbenutzern auch gezielt instrumentalisiert. Zudem werden einige Formen des Nicht-Verstehens uberschatzt - oder durch die Forschung selbst erst geschaffen, die das (Nicht-)Verstehen noch nicht verstanden hat.

This book is an educational manual featuring guidelines of spoken communication in medicine giving practical advice on how to convey a scientific message. As there are specific techniques in medical publishing, there are specific techniques in spoken communication in medicine. Different forms of spoken communication are described: informal communication, conference, staff meetings, student courses, are addressed not only from the point of view of the speaker, but also from the session moderator, or in public gatherings in the form of a question or comment. The medical 'public' ranges from the student to the instructor, and the practitioner to the researcher.

El Guarani Correntino - Fonologia, Gramatica, Textos (Spanish, Hardcover): Raul Sanchez Prieto El Guarani Correntino - Fonologia, Gramatica, Textos (Spanish, Hardcover)

R1,737 Discovery Miles 17 370 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Este trabajo constituye una descripcion funcional de una variedad poco estudiada del guarani paraguayo: el guarani "correntino", modalidad tradicional del guarani del nordeste argentino. El estudio presenta las caracteristicas fonologicas y gramaticales de esta variedad en vistas a comprender el grado de su diferenciacion dialectal asi como su posicion dentro de los dialectos del guarani meridional - criollo e indigena - hablado en las tierras bajas sudamericanas. Con una vision comparativa, entablando una discusion permanente con destacados autores de esta larga tradicion de estudios (Emma Gregores y Jorge Suarez, Wolf Dietrich, Aryon Rodrigues, entre otros) este trabajo constituye no solo una aproximacion critica a los estudios de lenguas tupi-guaranies actuales, sino tambien una tesis novedosa e insoslayable en torno a la caracterizacion tipologica del guarani. La rica introduccion historica y sociolinguistica que precede la descripcion linguistica, por otra parte, hace de esta obra un estudio de gran interes no solo para la linguistica funcional, sino tambien para disciplinas afines como la dialectologia, el contacto linguistico, la creolistica y los estudios de lenguas minoritarias.

Die interdisziplinar angelegte Studie verbindet ein sprachwissenschaftliches mit einem strafrechtlichen Erkenntnisinteresse: So werden aus sprachwissenschaftlicher Perspektive Entschuldigungs- und Entschuldigungsannahmehandlungen als spezifische Rituale in einem strafrechtlich relevanten Kontext, namlich dem Tater-Opfer-Ausgleich untersucht. Die Autorin spurt dabei theoretisch wie empirisch der sprachlichen Form dieses Rituals, seiner gesprachsorganisatorischen Lokalisierung sowie seiner pragmatischen Organisation als Sprechaktsequenz nach. Die entsprechenden Befunde werden strafrechtlich gerahmt: So zeigt die Autorin, in welche diskursiven Prozesse Entschuldigung und Entschuldigungsannahme im Rahmen des Tater-Opfer-Ausgleichs eingebettet sind, d.h. ob die Durchfuhrung dieses Rituals von den Mediatoren der Ausgleichsgesprache als Erfolgskriterium betrachtet wird und inwiefern sein Gelingen von der Sprachkompetenz aller Beteiligten abhangt.

R1,454 Discovery Miles 14 540 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Diese Arbeit analysiert den Einfluss von verschiedenen Faktoren auf die Grussformelwahl der Deutschen und der Russen und ermittelt via Fragebogenerhebung und mithilfe von kontrastiv-pragmatischen und deskriptiv-inferenzstatistischen Methoden - t-Test und Binomialtest - die kritischen Situationen mit einem hohen interkulturellen Konfliktpotential. Die Faktoren Distanz und Hierarchie scheinen den groessten Einfluss auf das deutsche und russische Grussverhalten zu haben. Situationen mit einem konvergierenden Bekanntheitsgrad- und Hierarchieverhaltnis zwischen den Interaktanten stellen sich als kritisch heraus: Es kann eine Nicht-Adaquatheit zwischen den deutschen Grussformeln 'Hallo' und 'Tschuss' und den russischen 'Privet' und 'Poka' trotz ihrer AEquivalenz festgestellt werden.

Este volumen recoge una seleccion de las comunicaciones presentadas en el Congreso Internacional sobre Descortesia y violencia verbal en espanol, organizado por el Grupo de investigacion Argumentacion y persuasion en Linguistica en la Universidad de Sevilla durante los dias 5 al 7 de noviembre de 2008. Los estudios aqui presentados se caracterizan, pues, por describir en diferentes corpora como el lenguaje se utiliza para crear una relacion social armonica, o, por el contrario, para producir un choque frontal con el receptor o danar su imagen. En ellos se abordan las diferentes normas que cada grupo social, situacion interactiva o tipo de texto impone. De esta manera, hay aportaciones sobre sus manifestaciones en la sintaxis, la prosodia o la semantica que se basan en la lengua de los medios de comunicacion, en interacciones orales en ambitos coloquiales o formales como, por ejemplo, los debates parlamentarios, y en discursos del espanol peninsular y americano. El rigor cientifico presente en todos ellos hace que sus conclusiones supongan un verdadero avance en el diseno de las relaciones entre lenguaje y sociedad.
