Dialekt-/Standard-Input im beruflichen Kontext in Oberösterreich: Eine gesprächslinguistische Untersuchung zur Variation des Deutschen als Input für erwachsene Deutschlernende interpretiert

by Kevin Rudolf Perner

Im Mittelpunkt dieses qualitativ angelegten Forschungsprojekts steht die Frage, von welchem interaktional und situational modifizierten Dialekt-Standard-Kontinuums-Input Lehrlinge, die sich in der Aneignung des Deutschen als Zweitsprache befinden, im Kommunikationsraum Betrieb in Oberösterreich umgeben sind. Im Konkreten wird der Deutschgebrauch von in (Ober-)Österreich sozialisierten Ausbildenden gegenüber deutschlernenden Auszubildenden während deren Arbeitszeit untersucht. Es handelt sich um ein sozio- bzw. gesprächslinguistisches Forschungsprojekt und dementsprechend wird im Kontext von Sequenzialität ausgewertet. Die relevanten Gesprächsdaten wurden in zwei Betrieben im oberösterreichischen Mühlviertel erhoben. Das Datensample besteht aus 26 Episoden und die identifizierten Reparatursequenzen spielen eine besondere Rolle. Die Ergebnisse bieten Anknüpfungspunkte für zukünftige Forschungen, die sich mit der Variation des Deutschen und der Vermittlung und/oder Aneignung des Deutschen als Zweitsprache beschäftigen.

Dialogic Approaches to TESOL: Where the Ginkgo Tree Grows

by Shelley Wong

This book locates dialogic pedagogy within the history of TESOL approaches and methods in which the communicative approach has been the dominant paradigm. Dialogic inquiry in the form of story telling, oral histories, and knowledge from the ground up and from the margins has much to offer the field. In dialogic approaches, the teacher and students learn in community and the students' home languages and cultures, their families and communities, are seen as resources.Dialogic Approaches to TESOL: Where the Ginkgo Tree Grows explores teacher research, feminist contributions to voice, social identity and dialogic pedagogy, and the role of teachers, students, families, and communities as advocates and change agents. After a brief history of TESOL methods and an introduction to dialogic pedagogy, four features of dialogic approaches to TESOL are identified and discussed: learning in community, problem-posing, learning by doing, and who does knowledge serve? The main text in each chapter considers a single topic related to the concept of dialogic pedagogy. Branching text leads to related discussions without losing the main point of the chapter. This structure allows readers to become well-rooted in each component of dialogic pedagogy and to "branch out" into deeper philosophic understandings as well as actual practices across a range of contexts.Dialogic Approaches to TESOL offers a place for dialogue and reflection on the prospects for transforming educational institutions to serve those who have historically been excluded and marginalized. It provides questions, frameworks, and resources for those who are just beginning in the field and for U.S.-based educators who want to bring critical multicultural and multilingual perspectives into language arts, reading and literacy education.

Diario de un combatiente

by Ernesto Che Guevara

Che's original, never-before-published diaries from the guerrilla war in Cuba's Sierra Maestra.Unpublished for over fifty years, these dozen notebooks were the source material for the articles that comprise Che's famous Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War, on which Steven Soderbergh has based his movie Che: The Argentine.Like Che's Bolivian Diary, these daily reflections reveal as much about the author as they do about the events and individuals described. Che's comments are always incisive, often highly self-critical, and sometimes brutally frank.This book includes many new, unpublished photos from the private collection of Che's widow Aleida March and a fascinating introduction by veteran Cuban revolutionary Armando Hart, who was the victim of Che's pen in these diaries, but who later became one of his closest political collaborators.As a new, unpublished work by Che Guevara, this book will attract considerable attention and will be published in English in spring 2009.

Dictionary of American Slang

by Barbara Ann Kipfer Robert L. Chapman

We all know language changes rapidly, but to follow along requires an historical view. Chapman's Dictionary of American Slang, Fourth Edition, provides just what is needed to trace the language of today back to its American roots. And make no mistake––this is a dictionary that is purely American, the place where you can trace the development of the American language, in it's highly informal format known as "slang." Some would ask: "isn't the language changing so fast that this book is out of date the day on which it is published?" Although it is true that changes to the language, particularly slang, happen faster and faster in the electronic age, still there is a place for an authoritative, recognized work that keeps track of and compiles the language into an historical document, as this dictionary does. It is true that language changes very quickly; it is just as true that today's slang may be forgotten tomorrow. In recording the changing language, and sorting out what's here to stay from what's coming and quickly going, the Dictionary of American Slang serves a useful and important purpose.

A Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words: Obsolete Phrases, Proverbs, and Ancient Customs, from the XIV Century (Routledge Revivals)

by James Orchard Halliwell

So far I may be permitted to speak without intrenching on the limits of criticism. A work containing more than 50,000 words, many of which have never appeared even in scattered glossaries, and illustrated, with very few exceptions, by original authorities, much contain valuable material for the philogist, even if disfigured by errors. With respect to the latter contingency, I am not acquainted with any glossary, comprising merely a few hundred words which does not contain blunders, although in many instances the careful attention of the editor has been specially directed to the task. Can I then anticipate that in a field so vast that no single life would sufice for a minute examination of every object, I could have escaped proportionate liabilities? That such may be pointed out I have little doubt, notwithstanding the pains to prevent their occurrence, but it will be manifestly unfair to make them the test of merit, or thence to pronounce a judgement on the accuracy of the whole.
