Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies, grade: 2,0, University of Paderborn (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Working-Class Literature in the United States, language: English, abstract: This paper examines the intra- and intergroup struggles of Mexican-American proletarians through the poetry of Gloria Anzaldúa and Lorna Dee Cervantes. By analyzing their works, it highlights ongoing prejudices and disadvantages faced by the Mexican-American working class and how these issues persist in the 21st century. I argue that the intra- and intergroup division of the Mexican-American proletarians described in Anzaldúa's To Live in the Borderlands from 1987 and Dee Cervantes' A Chicano Poem from 2013, mirrors itself in the 21st Century in so far that Mexican-American proletarians face strong prejudices and disadvantages, which every one of them perceives and handles in different ways. Against this backdrop, Anzaldúa- and Dee Cervantes' poems will be analysed separately in terms of intra- and intergroup division. The essay begins by exploring the intra-group division of the Mexican-American working-class and then continues with the inter-group division of Mexican-American proletarians with other Americans. Finally, the conclusion mediates all arguments and gives an outlook on possible further research.…

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Literature - Comparative Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Paderborn (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Contrastive Linguistics, language: English, abstract: This paper contrasts German and English collective nouns for animals in groups. It does so by analysing the nouns according to their sense relations. Are crows really murderous - in English and German alike Commonly used collective nouns like a school of fishes, a murder of crows, and an unkindness of ravens personify these kinds of animals and children become creative when they hear such terminology. However, the full motivation and history behind this established metaphorical use of collective nouns for animals in groups remain concealed. Despite that, it is possible to analyse how some collective nouns are related to the animals in groups they denote, and if similar patterns apply for other languages than English, in this case German. That is the main question which is aimed to solve in this paper. Against this backdrop, different theoretical aspects are considered. These imply the distinction between relational and non-relational meanings, different sense relations, as well as degrees of specificity in English and German among a few other theoretical aspects. A detailed explanation is given in the further course of this paper. The Theory Chapter begins by defining some relevant concepts to then explain some theoretical ideas. Subsequently, the working hypothesis of this research is presented. In the Analysis, the data at hand as well as the conducted methodology are outlined. After this, the results, which include methodological peculiarities, patterns and striking findings, are pointed out and discussed. Eventually, the Conclusion delivers an overview of all outcomes and their implications. …

The paper unveils linguistic tactics used to spread misinformation and provides crucial insights for combating misinformation and promoting critical thinking.To dissolve and understand the language of conspiracy, it is useful to first look at single units of language that mean something - words, and their semantic relations within the English language and to the world (OALD). Existing research recognises that conspiracy language is distinct and coins new linguistic structures with new senses which can then insert influence on the recipients which does not serve their cognitive well-being. An example of this would be the extensive use of the word truth in conspiracy theories, attached to a narrow belief in the sense of 'the only belief that should be accepted, otherwise, a person will suffer'. If someone is mentally labile and believes that truth only refers to that certain narrow belief, the person is likely to be manipulated. …

The paper investigates whether speakers demonstrate a shift to more back and open sounds.As sociolinguistics as a systematic research field developed no longer than in the mid twentieth century, many sociolinguistic phenomena remain unexplained yet or are not studied to a wide extent. This is also the case for the sociophonetic research topic of this paper. It is generally known, although not systematically proven, that in Northern Germany, many speakers articulate more back and open sounds compared to Standard German when they pronounce words containing the grapheme sequence . This could be exemplified by the word , which a North-German speaker who inspired this project pronounced with /¿/, where the tongue is positioned more back than with /¿/. Sometimes, one can also hear an /ø/, where the mouth is more open than with /¿/. This applies to younger female speakers who are vocally trained. Likewise, the 37-year-old male speaker from Northern Germany is very well vocally trained as a singer and audiobook/radio play speaker.…

The paper sheds light on usages and functions of 'yea' and 'AY'.During Late Modern English for instance, people have often prescribed communicative conventions that are associated with a particular educated and religious lifestyle that was desirable at that time at must be affirmed to. Therefore, tracing back the different functions but also forms of affirmative speech acts is of great importance. However, historical research on affirmative speech acts, especially on formal aspects concerning this type of speech act, is thin. Culpeper (2018) is the only scholar who researched affirmative particles in Early Modern English, particles that operate as key elements in affirmative speech acts since they convey agreement faster and more unambiguously than any other element in an affirmative speech act. To give an example, Culpeper showed among other things that during Early Modern English, yea was part of a Germanic speech pattern, being used after grammatically positively formulated questions. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,3, University of Paderborn (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Late Modern English, language: English, abstract: This paper analyzes apologies in Late Modern English using the COHA corpus. The paper investigates patterns and functions of apology instances, shedding light on historical speech acts and power dynamics.The Late Modern English period is generally referred to as the period of prescriptivism. Therefore, one can assume that various conversational patterns and speech acts like apologies often were predefined by the royalty and upper classes and meant to fulfil a clear purpose. This purpose usually serves to maintain power structures and hierarchies in society. For example, if a person from the working class misbehaved towards a person from the upper class, oftentimes they were more pressured to apologise and clarify their intentions and willingness to redress their actions than vice versa because the worker was dependent upon the upper-class member as they received their loan from them. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Sachunterricht, Heimatkunde, Note: 2,0, Universität Bielefeld, Veranstaltung: Sachunterricht, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Bachelorarbeit mit dem Thema Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust im Sachunterricht Chancen, Herausforderungen und Grenzen beschäftigt sich mit der Forschungsfrage, inwieweit es sinnvoll sein könnte, den Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust bereits in der Grundschule im Zuge der historischen Perspektive des Sachunterrichts aufzugreifen. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit soll es sein, mögliche Chancen, aber auch Herausforderungen und Grenzen einer thematischen Einbindung im Sachunterricht anhand ausgewählter Literatur aufzuzeigen und kritisch gegenüberzustellen. Die Relevanz der aufgezeigten Thematik ergibt sich zum einen durch die bereits erwähnte Aktualität und Präsenz innerhalb unseres gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens. Zum anderen stellt sich das Thema für mich als angehende Lehrkraft als bedeutsam dar, wenn der Blickwinkel auf die Verantwortungen, aber auch Möglichkeiten gelegt wird, die das Umfeld Schule mit sich bringt. Der Reiz allen Schülerinnen und Schülern die Partizipation an gesellschaftlich relevanten und herausfordernden Themen, wie den Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust, zu ermöglichen, begründet meine Motivation. Die veränderte Kindheit insbesondere durch den frühen Kontakt mit digitalen Medien, der den Zugriff auf eine Flut von ungefilterten Informationen möglich macht, bestärkt diese. Als Teil unserer Gesellschaft sind Kinder zugleich Teil des kollektiven Gedächtnisses, weshalb der Demokratieerziehung in der Schule eine besondere Bedeutung zukommt.…
