    Abstract ; Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich auf textimmanente Weise mit der Lyrik des Dichters Georg Trakl. Sie setzt auf eine für den Leser aktivierbare Dynamik in den konventionell als „hermetisch“ klassifizierten Gedichten. In Einzelkapiteln werden alle Gedichte stets vollständig interpretiert, wobei das Augenmerk auf den Erlebnismöglichkeiten des Rezipienten liegt. Dem einzelnen Gedicht wird so jeweils eine Erlebnis-Signatur verliehen. Nur am Werk orientiert, liefert die Arbeit Reisevorschläge durch die Dichtung und stellt alter-native Perspektiven und Wahrnehmungszustände vor. Auf die Nutzbarmachung der Interferenzen zwischen Dichter-Biografie und Werk wird verzichtet. Intertextualität findet nicht systematisch, sondern nur je nach Einzelfall, Berücksichtigung. An die Stelle des Ergebnisses setzt die Arbeit das Erlebnis. Strukturell ist die Arbeit als eine Interpretationssammlung angelegt; methodisch spielt sie die textimmanten Interpretationen in die Richtung einer engen Leser-Integration und des impliziten Lesers hin aus. Sie stützt sich hierbei auf die von Gustav Kars angeregte „subjektive Sensibilität“ im Umgang mit Georg Trakls Gedicht, vor allem aber auf die durch Peter von Matt mittels seiner „Phänomenologie der Trakl-Lektüre“ vollzogene radikale Umwertung der Hermetik-Theorie, sowie auf Franz Fühmanns einschlägiges Essay-Buch „Vor Feuerschlünden - Erfahrung mit Georg Trakls Gedicht.“ Eine Verknüpfung der separat behandelten Gedichte wird nur perspektivisch aufgezeigt. Die Arbeit hält den Schwebezustand, in welchem die Gedichte Trakls vom Interpreten zu belassen sind. Als qualitative Grundlagenforschung steht sie der Diskussion und Weiterführung offen. ; Abstract ; The dissertation examines the poetry of Georg Trakl in a text-immanent manner. Trakls poems are conventionally regarded as „hermetic“; this paper emphasises a dynamics in the poems that can be activated by the reader. A complete interpretation of each poem is provided in a separate chapter. The interpretations focus on the experiential opportunities that the recipient has. Thus every single poem is assigned its individual experiential signature. Solely oriented towards the literary work, the dissertation offers travel suggestions through the poetry and presents alternative perspectives and states of perception. Interferences between the poet’s biography and his work are not explored. Intertextuality is taken into consideration not in a systematic way, but only with regard to particular cases. In place of a result, the dissertation puts the experience. Structurally, the dissertation is arranged as a collection of interpretations; methodologically, it approaches the text-immanent interpretations with a close reader integration and the implicit reader in mind. In pursuing this method, it is based on the “subjective sensibility” in the exploration of Trakl’s poetry, as suggested by Gustav Kars, and on Franz Fühmann’s essay book “Vor Feuerschlünden - Erfahrung mit Georg Trakls Gedicht.” Its primary theoretical basis forms Peter von Matt’s radical re-evaluation of the Theory of Hermetics by means of his “phenomenology of the Trakl reading”. Connections between the separately treated poems are only traced perspectively. The dissertation retains the abeyance in which Trakl’s poems are to be left by the recipient. As a piece of qualitative basic research, it is open to discussion and continuation.

  4. Walter Benjamins Konzept des Eingedenkens ; Über Genese, Stellung und Bedeutung eines ungebräuchlichen Begriffs in Benjamins Schriften ; Walter Benjamin's concept of Eingedenken ; on origin, position, and meaning of an unusual concept in Benjamin's writings

    Abstract ; Trotz der ausufernden Literatur über Walter Benjamin wurde das Konzept des Eingedenkens bislang nicht zum Gegenstand einer eingehenden Studie gemacht. Diese Lücke auszufüllen, nimmt sich die vorliegende Arbeit vor. Zunächst wird nach der Herkunft dieses ungebräuchlichen Terminus gefragt. So widmet sich das erste Kapitel einer Analyse von Ernst Blochs frühen Schriften (Geist der Utopie und Thomas Münzer), die den schillernden Begriff ›Eingedenken‹ in den philosophischen Diskurs des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts eingeführt haben. Damit bezieht sich Bloch auf einen besonderen Akt, der eine im Vergangenen liegende Potentialität aktualisiert und in verschiedenen Bereichen – Ästhetik, Erkenntnistheorie, Ontologie, Theologie – folgenschwere Wandlungen veranlassen kann. In den Schriften Walter Benjamins begegnet der Ausdruck ›Eingedenken‹ wohl ab 1927, als er anfängt, Notizen und Materialien für eine Arbeit über die Pariser Passagen zu sammeln. Zu den grundlegenden Einsichten, auf denen dieses Projekt beruht, gehört auch die Idee einer »dialektischen, kopernikanischen Wendung« der Geschichtsschreibung, die eben vom Eingedenken ermöglicht wird. Allerdings beschränkt sich Benjamin nicht darauf, Blochs Konzept in den Zusammenhang seiner eigenen Forschungen zu übertragen. Vielmehr befreit er das Eingedenken von der gnostisch-apokalyptischen »Metaphysik der Innerlichkeit«, die im Mittelpunkt der ersten Ausgabe vom Geist der Utopie stand. Im Gegensatz dazu läßt sich Benjamins Ansatz als anthropologisch-materialistisch bezeichnen. Vor allem die Surrealisten und Proust haben auf seine originelle Deutung dieses Begriffs einen maßgeblichen Einfluß ausgeübt: die ersteren mit ihrer Entdeckung der revolutionären Kräfte, die in der abgestorbenen Dingwelt liegen (s. Kap. 2), der zweite mit seiner detaillierten Erkundung der mémoire involontaire (s. Kap. 3). Im Laufe der 30er Jahre entwickelt Benjamin zugleich eine kritische Methode und eine Poetik, die um das Eingedenken kreisen, wie seine Schriften über Kraus (s. Kap. 4), Kafka (s. Kap. 6), Lesskow (s. Kap. 7) und Baudelaire (s. Kap. 8), sowie seine Kindheitserinnerungen (s. Kap. 5), die Briefsammlung Deutsche Menschen (s. Kap. 7) und die Geschichtsthesen (s. Kap. 8) ausführlich zeigen. Aus der eingehenden Lektüre dieser Schriften geht deutlich hervor, daß das Eingedenken ein facettenreiches Thema ist, das sich einer eindeutigen Definition entzieht. Deshalb schlage ich im neunten und letzten Kapitel vor, das Eingedenken als ›Idee‹ zu betrachten, indem ich auf Benjamins »Erkenntniskritische Vorrede« zum Trauerspielbuch zurückgreife. Fasst man die Ideen als Konstellationen auf, so müßte eine angemessene Darstellung der Idee des Eingedenkens die vielfältigen ›Sterne‹ ausfindig machen, aus denen diese Idee besteht. Dieser Aufgabe gerecht zu werden, hat die vorliegende Arbeit versucht. ; Abstract ; Starting with the essay on Proust published in 1929 the technical term Eingedenken plays a crucial role in Walter Benjamin’s writings. However a thorough research about this concept is still lacking in the immense literature on his thought. The principal aim of this doctoral thesis was to fill such lack by providing a vast and meticulous analysis of the meaning of Eingedenken in Benjamin’s work. The opening chapter shed light on the origins of this very peculiar and unusual German term: as a matter of fact it was Ernst Bloch, not Benjamin, who invented this concept in his first major book, Geist der Utopie (1918). By forming this bizarre noun from the phrasal verb “eingedenk sein”, Bloch tries to outline a utopian experience: an act by which the subject brings to light some potentialities hidden in a forgotten past. Benjamin not only read the first edition of Geist der Utopie, he also wrote a review of the book which is unfortunately missing. On the basis of his letters we argued that although he rejected Bloch’s gnostic metaphysics, Benjamin was deeply influenced by the idea of Eingedenken. This concept plays a central role in the method of the Passagenarbeit as well as in “On the concept of history”, Benjamin’s last text. Following the chronological development of Benjamin’s work I thus examined the different meanings the term Eingedenken assumes: the connection with the concept of Erwachen in the first drafts of the Passagenarbeit (chapter 2), Proust’s idea of “mémoire involontaire” and its translation by Benjamin with “ungewolltes Eingedenken” (chapter 3), the theory of quotation (Zitat) in the essay on Kraus (chapter 4), the specific logic of remembrance in the Berliner Kindheit (chapter 5), the idea of “Studium” in the essay on Kafka (chapter 6), the difference between recollection, memory, and Eingedenken in the essay on the Storyteller (chapter 7), and finally the salvation of the idea of Eingedenken in the essays on Baudelaire as well as in the thesis on the concept of history (chapter 8). The result of my research can be thus summarized this way: Benjamin’s Eingedenken has to be seen not as a concept with an unambiguous meaning, but as a “Denkfigur” or an “idea” in Benjamin’s sense (chapter 9).

    Other ; Crowdsourcing linguistic phenomena with smartphone applications is relatively new. In linguistics, apps have predominantly been developed to create pronunciation dictionaries, to train acoustic models, and to archive endangered languages. This paper presents the first account of how apps can be used to collect data suitable for documenting language change: we created an app, Dialäkt Äpp (DÄ), which predicts users’ dialects. For 16 linguistic variables, users select a dialectal variant from a drop-down menu. DÄ then geographically locates the user’s dialect by suggesting a list of communes where dialect variants most similar to their choices are used. Underlying this prediction are 16 maps from the historical Linguistic Atlas of German-speaking Switzerland, which documents the linguistic situation around 1950. Where users disagree with the prediction, they can indicate what they consider to be their dialect’s location. With this information, the 16 variables can be assessed for language change. Thanks to the playfulness of its functionality, DÄ has reached many users; our linguistic analyses are based on data from nearly 60,000 speakers. Results reveal a relative stability for phonetic variables, while lexical and morphological variables seem more prone to change. Crowdsourcing large amounts of dialect data with smartphone apps has the potential to complement existing data collection techniques and to provide evidence that traditional methods cannot, with normal resources, hope to gather. Nonetheless, it is important to emphasize a range of methodological caveats, including sparse knowledge of users’ linguistic backgrounds (users only indicate age, sex) and users’ self-declaration of their dialect. These are discussed and evaluated in detail here. Findings remain intriguing nevertheless: as a means of quality control, we report that traditional dialectological methods have revealed trends similar to those found by the app. This underlines the validity of the crowdsourcing method. We are presently extending DÄ architecture to other languages.

    Other ; Kosrae, or ‘The Island of The Sleeping Lady’ as it is known to locals, is the most remote island of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), located in the western Pacific. FSM is an independent sovereign nation consisting of four state in total: Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap and Kosrae. First claimed by the Spanish, who were forced to cede FSM to Germany in 1899. In 1914, the Japanese took military possession of the region resulting in considerable economic, social and political change for the islands’ inhabitants. By 1947 after WWII, the islands formed part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands commissioned by the UN and administered by the US. The FSM became an independent nation in 1986 while still retaining affiliation with the US under a ‘Compact of Free Association’ encouraging the officiating of English as a language of FSM, alongside local languages. Here I examine the presence and uses of English in Kosrae with reference to these socio-historical influences. First, I discuss the extralinguistic factors which have shaped the English that is currently found on Kosrae. Secondly, I assess the use of English in this community in light of Schneider’s (2007) ‘Dynamic Model’. Finally, an overview of the salient linguistic characteristics of Kosraean English, based on data collected in informal conversations on the island, will be presented. The overall objective is to present a socio-historical, political and linguistic description of a hitherto unexamined English emerging in a postcolonial environment. Schneider, E. (2007).

    Other ; Kosrae is the most remote island of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), with a population of less than 7,000 inhabitants, located in the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and Guam. FSM is an independent sovereign nation consisting of four states in total: Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap, and Kosrae. Having passed through the hands of Spain, Germany and Japan, the United States gained administrative control of FSM after WWII, as commissioned by the UN. The FSM became an independent nation in 1986 while still retaining affiliation with the US under a ‘Compact of Free Association’. Now both Kosraean and English are considered to be the two official languages and the variety of Kosraean English which has arisen proves for an interesting comparative study. In order to obtain the relevant data, I spent three months on the island of Kosrae, interviewing 90 local speakers, ranging in age (16-70), occupation, sex and time spent off island. The 45 minute long interviews were informal but supported by participant information to capture relevant data and conversations were guided in a way that aimed to reveal language and cultural attitudes. With reference to these samples, I examine the effects of American English on the language use in Kosrae. This paper aims to present a broad analysis of phonological, morphosyntactic and pragmatic features, such as pro-dropping, discourse markers and other practices in order to demonstrate the similarities and differences between the two varieties, which are coming to shape the variety developing on Kosrae. Having transcribed conversations using the tool Elan, I will put particular focus on [h] deletion and insertion, a rare occurrence found in a variety of post-colonial American English which I believe is of particular interest. I assess the presence of English in Kosrae with reference to sociological influences, past and present. First, I discuss the extralinguistic factors which have shaped the English that is currently used on Kosrae, including migration between US and FSM, and English as a language of administration, social media usage and visual media presence. Secondly, I assess the use of English in this community in light of Schneider’s (2007) ‘Dynamic Model’, with reference to America’s contribution as an ‘exploitation colony’ as defined by Mufwene (2001). Finally, an overview of the salient linguistic characteristics of Kosraean English, based on the data collected will be presented and compared to features associated with standard American English in view of examining overlap and divergence. The overall objective is to present a cross-linguistic description of a hitherto unexamined English emerging in a postcolonial environment with a juxtaposed contact variety.

    Abstract ; Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) emitting at 850 nm wavelength are known for their attractive optical features and a growing range of applications. The main goal of the present thesis is to demonstrate the feasibility of a monolithic integration of VCSELs with PIN-type photodiodes (PDs) for the operation as transceiver (TRx) chips in optical data links. The project milestones comprise the chip and the epitaxial layer design of the VCSEL–PIN PD device based on the established AlGaAs/GaAs material system, its fabrication development, electro-optical characterizations, and data transmission in a bidirectional optical link over a single, two-side butt-coupled standard graded-index (GI) multimode fiber (MMF). The monolithic design lowers the costs in the semiconductor technology as well as in packaging and avoids the use of external optics, even though it is employed with a single 50 µm core diameter GI MMF. Thus, the very compact optical link saves space, weight, and module cost. Deep insights into the electro-optical properties of VCSELs and PIN PDs are given by the theoretical description and measurements. The limitations of the small-signal modulation responses are of main interest in this thesis. Thus, the dynamic characteristics including the extraction of modeled parasitics are presented. Also the electrical and optical crosstalk between the integrated devices and both transmission channels as well as the fiber alignment tolerances are covered. The results in optical data transmission consisting of various experiments in half-duplex and full-duplex mode, both free-space and fiber-coupled over a single MMF are explained in detail. The monolithic TRx design is well suited for low-cost, compact optical links over distances of a few hundred meters. Capable to handle data rates of up to 10 Gbit/s and more, these TRx chips can be employed, e.g., in automotive networks or in general to upgrade existing standard MMF networks to bidirectional operation.

    Other ; The various meanings of discourse connectives like while and however are difficult to identify and annotate, even for trained human annotators. This problem is all the more important that connectives are salient textual markers of cohesion and need to be correctly interpreted for many NLP applications. In this paper, we suggest an alternative route to reach a reliable annotation of connectives, by making use of the information provided by their translation in large parallel corpora. This method thus replaces the difficult explicit reasoning involved in traditional sense annotation by an empirical clustering of the senses emerging from the translations. We argue that this method has the advantage of providing more reliable reference data than traditional sense annotation. In addition, its simplicity allows for the rapid constitution of large annotated datasets.

    Other ; New Zealand English first emerged at the beginning of the 19th century as a result of the dialect contact of British (51%), Scottish (27.3%) and Irish (22%) migrants (Hay and Gordon 2008:6). This variety has subsequently developed into an autonomous and legitimised national variety and enjoys a distinct socio-political status, recognition and codification. In fact, a number of dictionaries of New Zealand English have been published1 and the variety is routinely used as the official medium on TV, radio and other media. This however, has not always been the case, as for long only British standard norms were deemed suitable for media broadcasting. While there is some work already on lay commentary about New Zealand English (see for example Gordon 1983, 1994; Hundt 1998), there is much more to be done especially concerning more recent periods of the history of this variety and the ideologies underlying its development and legitimisation. Consequently, the current project aims at investigating the metalinguistic discourses during the period of transition from a British norm to a New Zealand norm in the media context, this will be done by focusing on debates about language in light of the advent of radio and television. The main purpose of this investigation is thus to examine the (language) ideologies that have shaped and underlain these discourses (e.g. discussions about the appropriateness of New Zealand English vis à vis external, British models of language) and their related practices in these media (e.g. broadcasting norms). The sociolinguistic and pragmatic effects of these ideologies will also be taken into account. Furthermore, a comparison will be carried out, at a later stage in the project, between New Zealand English and a more problematic and less legitimised variety: Estuary English. Despite plenty of evidence of media and other public discourses on Estuary English, in fact, there has been very little metalinguistic analysis of this evidence, nor examinations of the underlying ideologies in these discourses. The comparison will seek to discover whether similar themes emerge in the ideologies played out in publish discourses about these varieties, themes which serve to legitimise one variety, whilst denying such legitimacy to the other.

  21. Language ideologies: the formation and legitimisation of New Zealand English

    Other ; New Zealand English first emerged at the beginning of the 19th century as a result of the dialect contact of British (51%), Scottish (27.3%) and Irish (22%) migrants (Hay and Gordon 2008:6). This variety has subsequently developed into an autonomous and legitimised national variety and enjoys a distinct socio-political status, recognition and codification. In fact, a number of dictionaries of New Zealand English have been published1 and the variety is routinely used as the official medium on TV, radio and other media. This however, has not always been the case, as for long only British standard norms were deemed suitable for media broadcasting. While there is some work already on lay commentary about New Zealand English (see for example Gordon 1983, 1994; Hundt 1998), there is much more to be done especially concerning more recent periods of the history of this variety and the ideologies underlying its development and legitimisation. Consequently, the current project aims at investigating the metalinguistic discourses during the period of transition from a British norm to a New Zealand norm in the media context, this will be done by focusing on debates about language in light of the advent of radio and television. The main purpose of this investigation is thus to examine the (language) ideologies that have shaped and underlain these discourses (e.g. discussions about the appropriateness of New Zealand English vis à vis external, British models of language) and their related practices in these media (e.g. broadcasting norms). The sociolinguistic and pragmatic effects of these ideologies will also be taken into account.

    Other ; The poster demonstrates the preparatory steps of a digital multi-text edition that are abstracted from the experiences made in the Parzival Project, based at the University of Bern, the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and the University of Erlangen. This edition of Wolfram von Eschenbach’s German Grail novel, written shortly after 1200 and transmitted during several centuries in ca. hundred witnesses, has now been completed by more than a half of the textual corpus. As the text is transmitted in medieval manuscripts the witnesses have to be transcribed according to specific encoding rules. The transcriptions then are collated following certain ideas and concepts of how the transmission process could have developed. The transcriptions and collations finally have to be transferred to a digital edition that allows the users to explore the characteristics of single witnesses as well as the history of a text, which is delivered in variants and in different versions. A dynamically organized database offering various components and adapted to the needs of diverse user-profiles is nowadays the right tool for this purpose.

    Other ; Recent research on melodrama has stressed its versatility and ubiquity by approaching it as a mode of expression rather than a theatrical genre. A variety of contexts in which melodrama is at work have been explored, but only little scholarly attention has been paid to the relationship between melodrama and novels, short stories and novellas. This article proposes a typology of melodrama in narrative prose fiction, examining four different categories: Melodrama and Sentimentalism, Depiction of Melodramatic Performances in Narrative Prose Fiction, Theatrical Antics and Aesthetics in Narrative Prose Fiction and Meta-Melodrama. Its aim is to clarify the ways in which melodrama, ever since its early days on the stages of late eighteenth-century Europe, has interacted with fictional prose narratives, thereby shaping the literary imagination in the Anglophone world.
