German for Specific Purposes
The languages for specific purposes in German have undergone an enormous development in the history of modern times, which has shaped them to the present day. Against this background, this article presents the historical emergence of modern technical and scientific languages in German, their essential characteristics and some current development trends. The article begins with a periodization of specialized communication in German and the researc…
Deskription fachlicher Kommunikation – Vorschlag und Beispiel
Modelle fachlicher Kommunikation dienen nicht allein deren theoretischer Konzeption, sondern auch ihrer empirischen Deskription oder ihrer didaktischen bzw. ethischen Evaluation. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird anhand des erweiterten Modells fachlicher Kommunikation von Thorsten Roelcke und des Vorworts zu einem einschlägigen Sammelband zur Fachsprachenlinguistik von John Humbley gezeigt, wie ein solches Modell eine systematische Deskription fac…
Exaktheit – Eindeutigkeit – Eigentlichkeit. Zur semiotischen Explikation terminologischer Grundeigenschaften
Die terminologischen Eigenschaften Exaktheit, Eindeutigkeit und Eigentlichkeit können anhand des semiotischen Dreiecks von Ogden und Richards erfasst und aufeinander bezogen werden: Mit Blick auf Bedeutung, Ausdruck und Wirklichkeit erweisen sie sich dabei als referentielle, semantische und mentale (motivierte) Unmissverständlichkeit von Termini. Sie werden im Rahmen eines systemlinguistischen Inventarmodells, eines pragmalinguistischen Kontext…
Handbuch Mehrsprachigkeit
The Handbook of Multilingualism systematically presents the latest knowledge about central aspects of this subject area with a particular focus on the language situation in Germany. It provides an extensive, linguistically grounded, and interdisciplinary overview of basic terms, theoretical perspectives, research methods, topics, and the fields in which individual, societal, and institutional multilingualism manifest themselves.
‘The time where the British took the lead is over’
Writing reflects some of the different characteristics of the language being used and of the people who are communicating. The present paper focusses on the internal written communication in international and inter-disciplinary research projects. Using a case study of an international public health research project, it argues that the authorship and the languages used in internal project communication are not neutral but help to generate or reinf…
Die Häufigkeit von Verben in fachlichen und öffentlichen Texten in deutscher Sprache
Die Grammatik in fachsprachlichen Texten unterscheidet sich – so die allgemein verbreitete Hypothese – von derjenigen in allgemeinsprachlichen Texten insbesondere durch die unterschiedliche Vorkommenshäufigkeit einzelner morphologischer oder syntaktischer Erscheinungen. In dem Beitrag wird gezeigt, dass Verben wie auch einzelne Verbarten und -formen in fachlichen Texten (hier: Dissertationen und Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) in einem geringeren Maße e…

Barbarische“ Sprachen im deutschen Sprachdenken des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts
In der deutschen Sprachreflexion des Barock und der Aufklärung wird der Terminus barbarisch zur Charakterisierung von einzelnen Sprachen und sprachlichen Erscheinungen in Geschichte und Gegenwart verwendet; der Wortgebrauch kombiniert dabei sowohl sachbezogene als auch bewertende Gesichtspunkte
Drift – A change of perspective
Using the example of the German language, this contribution discusses different models of a drift between synthetic and analytical construction. As an alternative to existing models, a design that combines different perspectives is presented. Linguistic developments are not viewed as monodirectional or even monocausal, but as polydirectional and polycausal so that the question of the direction and causality of typological changes is answered with…
Die Sprachen der Neuen Welt in Belegen deutscher Sprachdenker des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts

Theoria Cum Praxi – Modeling Specialised Communication
As researchers from different nationalities and disciplines collaborate in research projects with joint grants, science becomes more and more global. For conducting the research, project members from several different professional and national backgrounds work together on a daily basis using English as lingua franca (ELF). This results in a very heterogenic linguistic setting, influenced by several mother tongues and languages for specific purpos…
Language Change – Models and Theories
Asiatische Sprachen im deutschen Sprachdenken des Barock und der Aufklärung
As transition from the Early Modern Age to the Modern Age, the 17th and the 18th centuries are seen as historic period with tremendous relevance for the historical development of the German language – from a social and culture-historical perspective. The often transfiguring interest in different regions of Asia, as well as Arabic or Chinese regions, is seen as special phenomenon of this age. The present article aims to analyse the result of this …
Tendenzen beruflicher Kommunikation im Deutschen am Beispiel der Verordnung über die Berufsausbildung zum Kraftfahrzeugmechatroniker und zur Kraftfahrzeugmechatronikerin
Rapid alteration (dynamisation), increased specialisation (differentiation) and growing variety (decentralisation) are considered to be essential tendencies in current professional communication and already implemented in the training regulations of different professions. The present article sets the term for professional communication in contrast to the conceptual more difficult term for jargon. Further and referring to this basis, the three men…
Theoretical Models and Specific Communication Situations in Projects
In recent years, numerous proposals have been made with the aim of establishing a systematic hierarchy of relationships for languages for special purposes (LSP), and different approaches have been classified in terms of vertical and horizontal models. Recently, however LSP research has moved more and more towards Applied Linguistics and a segregation has emerged between studies focusing on systematic topics and those based on concrete case studie…

Morphological complexity of the word
Although there is much linguistic work concerning morphological complexity of words no study tries to scale their physical form. In this paper firstly we present a scaling of word's morphological complexity considering reduplication, compounding, derivation, inflection and suppletivism. Secondly we show some quantitative analyses of morphological complexity with respect to arc, motif, and distances of words in a Slovak poem as an example
Zur Gliederung von Fachsprache und Fachkommunikation
Coming from the tradition of classifying languages for specific purposes (LSP), the field of LSP research turned towards a more applied approach during the last years. While classification of LSP is still a highly discussed topic due to the heterogeneity of specialised communication, tackling concrete communication issues came to the fore in the frame of dealing with applied linguistics approaches. Unfortunately, the actual approaches fail with r…
Three ways of terminological linearisation
In this article terminologisation means the constitution of terminological systems by introducing resp. defining terms within texts. By using three short text examples in German three ways of terminological linearisation , i.e. ordering terminological units within a textual progression, are shown: a didactic-structural, a discursive-contentual, and a normative-alphabetic linearisation strategy
Definitionen und Termini
Terms and terminologies are central topics of terminology research, yet strategies of terminologization - that is, the introduction of terminological systems to specialized texts - have received scant attention to date. Using examples from DIN 2330 and Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason , this study examines the quantitative aspects of terminologization. The findings of this new approach can be applied to other texts, whether of a prescriptive and ap…
Der Beitrag von graphischen Abbildungen zur Konstituierung von Fachwortschatz in der terminologischen Grundsatznorm DIN 2330 des deutschen Instituts für Normung
Figures and tables in DIN 2330 are analysed in respect to text extern and text intern factors and their correlations. There are several types of correlation between terminological information of text and terminological information of graphics: The function of graphics may be characterized as complementary, particular complementary, explicit exemplifying, and implicit exemplifying
