Die Moderne Frau Und Ihr Drama: Marie Eugenie Delle Grazies Drama Der Schatten (1901); Ein Schlüsseltext Zur Wiener Moderne, Jared Loehrmann Sep 2008

Die Moderne Frau Und Ihr Drama: Marie Eugenie Delle Grazies Drama Der Schatten (1901); Ein Schlüsseltext Zur Wiener Moderne, Jared Loehrmann

Theses and Dissertations

Marie Eugenie delle Grazies Drama Der Schatten wurde am 28. September 1901 im Wiener Hofburgtheater, einer der bedeutendsten Bühnen Europas, uraufgeführt, jedoch nach nur vier Vorstellungen abgesetzt. Das mit dem Bauernfeld-Preis ausgezeichnete Stück bildet den Zenit von delle Grazies literarischem Schaffen und beinhaltet Diskurse von hohem damaligem Stellenwert, die uns einen tieferen Einblick, vom Standpunkt der modernen Frau, ins Fin-de-Siècle Wien geben können. Das Drama und seine Dichterin wurden im Wien der Jahrhundertwende sowohl gefeiert als auch gerügt. Delle Grazie hatte mit Vorurteilen gegen sie als Frau und Dichterin, sowie mit der Kritik an ihrer unkonventionellen Dramaturgie zu kämpfen. Betrachtet …


Писатели О Языке: Contemporary Russian Writers On The Language Question, Ingunn Lunde Jan 2008

Писатели О Языке: Contemporary Russian Writers On The Language Question, Ingunn Lunde

Russian Language Journal

Post-perestroika Russian society exhibits a pronounced concern with the language question. Linguistic issues are discussed at all levels of society, and a great many people engage in these debates: politicians, philologists, teachers, journalists, writers, students, bloggers, and others. Newspapers and journals feature columns or article series devoted to language; conferences discuss “the state of the Russian language”; the state sponsors a large number of radio and television programmes on language and language culture; various centres and institutions offer programmes promoting linguistic cultivation; there are information services on linguistic questions on the Internet; many blogs deal with the language question.


The Poetics Of Paraphrase: The Positivist Postmodernism In Mikhail Gasparov’S “Experimental Translations”, Heinrich Kirschbaum Jan 2008

The Poetics Of Paraphrase: The Positivist Postmodernism In Mikhail Gasparov’S “Experimental Translations”, Heinrich Kirschbaum

Russian Language Journal

Two years before his death, Mikhail Gasparov (1935-2005) published his “Ėksperimental’nye perevody” (2003, “Experimental Translations,” or ETs), an anthology of translated works by authors from different time periods and literary traditions. The ETs are experimental in many ways: in some of his condensed translations, Gasparov shortens the originals drastically, in some cases by 80 percent. However, the ETs are not only experimental due to Gasparov’s new “technique of translation,” but also thanks to the choice of the originals to be translated. In addition to Hölderlin and Kavafis, Gasparov translates Pushkin and Lermontov from Russian to Russian, shortening and paraphrasing them …


Преподавание Литературы В Советской Школе 1960 -70-Х Гг. И Современная Поэзия (Тимур Кибиров, Всеволод Емелин), Елена Маркасова Jan 2008

Преподавание Литературы В Советской Школе 1960 -70-Х Гг. И Современная Поэзия (Тимур Кибиров, Всеволод Емелин), Елена Маркасова

Russian Language Journal

Разделение функций разных гуманитарных наук, сложившееся в обществе, предполагает несовместимость объектов изучения, заявленных в названии этой работы: проблемами изучения советской школы занимаются историк, педагог, методист, психолог, социолог, антрополог, а современную поэзию исследует филолог. В связи с этим есть необходимость охарактеризовать и сам материал, и методы его анализа, и мотивы объединения в исследовании литературоведческого и социокультурного подходов.


On The Satirical Counter-Discourse Of Processed Cheese, Lara Ryazanova-Clarke Jan 2008

On The Satirical Counter-Discourse Of Processed Cheese, Lara Ryazanova-Clarke

Russian Language Journal

The post-Soviet period presents an illuminating picture of competition taking place between different public discourses for meaning construction and articulation. It has been observed that after an initial period when the public narrative of the nation experienced fragmentation, and, using Pierre Bourdieu’s term, went through a period of heterodoxy during the last decade―roughly corresponding with the presidency of Vladimir Putin―it has displayed the growing characteristics of orthodoxy, with its centrally produced “common sense” meanings and assumptions.


Говорит «Русское Радио»… (О Языковых Функциях В Сми), Ольга Томасон Jan 2008

Говорит «Русское Радио»… (О Языковых Функциях В Сми), Ольга Томасон

Russian Language Journal

В течение последних двух десятилетий лексические и стилистические особенности языка СМИ все чаще оказываются в центре лингвистических дискуссий. Отмечается непосредственная зависимость радио-, читательской и зрительской аудитории от СМИ. Исследователи подчеркивают, что зачастую масс-медиа оказывают решающее влияние на формирование у общества того или иного отношения к событиям, политикам, изменениям (Дубровская 2005:71, Володина 2005:39).


Функционирование Неологизмов В Языке Газеты, Дж. Джейси Чо Jan 2008

Функционирование Неологизмов В Языке Газеты, Дж. Джейси Чо

Russian Language Journal

Лексика отражает не только состояние общества, но и состояние сознания и мышления человека. Появление новых слов является одним из важных процессов в развитии лексики. Причём проблемой новых слов интересуются не только лингвисты, но и носители языка, поскольку изменения в области лексики взаимосвязаны с изменением общественно- политической и экономической жизни. То есть неологизм – это функциональное новообразование, которое служит определенной цели, отвечая запросам новых жизненных явлений и требований в обществе. Поэтому и говорят, что неологизмы – это результат лингвистических процессов, отражающих экстралингвистические явления.


«Не Трожь Молодежь!»: A Portrait Of Urban Youthspeak And The Russian Language In The 21st Century, Thomas J. Garza Jan 2008

«Не Трожь Молодежь!»: A Portrait Of Urban Youthspeak And The Russian Language In The 21st Century, Thomas J. Garza

Russian Language Journal

As the reality of a shattered Soviet empire began to enter the collective Russian consciousness in the early 1990s, the effects of a multiplicity of previously forbidden global influences began to emerge in virtually every arena of the new post-Soviet society, including within the Russian language itself. From mass media to commerce to politics, the language began to show the effects of the assimilation of previously unfamiliar lexicon and situational usage, as well as of the introduction of non-Russian neologisms in substantial numbers.


Эволюция Русской Языковой Картины Мира И Культура Речи, Алексей Шмелёв Jan 2008

Эволюция Русской Языковой Картины Мира И Культура Речи, Алексей Шмелёв

Russian Language Journal

Среди самых разных слоев современного российского общества широко распространено мнение, согласно которому за последние два десятилетия русская речь подвергается серьезным изменениям. Когда обсуждают языковые изменения последнего времени, чаще всего говорят об изменениях речевого этикета, о том, что жаргонные и просторечные слова стали а ктивно и спользоваться в с редствах м ассовой и нформации и в публичной речи политических деятелей, о постепенном снятии табу на скверноматерную брань, о наплыве иноязычных заимствований. В связи с явлениями такого рода журналисты часто бьют тревогу по поводу «порчи языка». Лингвисты, как правило, обыкновенно занимают более взвешенную позицию и, соглашаясь с т ем, ч то н …

Negotiating Reality With Anekdoty: Soviet Vs. Post-Soviet Humor Lore, Daniela S. Hristova Jan 2008

Negotiating Reality With Anekdoty: Soviet Vs. Post-Soviet Humor Lore, Daniela S. Hristova

Russian Language Journal

As a genre, anekdoty have been among the most popular oral narratives in the Soviet as well as post-Soviet era.2 Similar to other folkloric and literary genres, the post-Soviet social and linguistic liberalization has had an impact on Russian humor lore, but to a much lesser degree than it might seem on the surface. Since effective humor narratives impart laughter by way of reacting to significant sociopolitical phenomena, the changed economic and ideological reality in post- Soviet Russia fostered paradigmatic classes of anekdoty that feature new protagonists. The question, however, is whether what made a Soviet anekdot funny differs from …


Introduction To Volume 58 Jan 2008

Introduction To Volume 58

Russian Language Journal

It was the Russian linguist, Grigorii Vinokur, who first introduced the term “kul’tura iazyka” or “language culture” to Russian in his writings on the changes taking place in the Russian language in the aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution (Kul’tura iazyka [Moscow 1929]). Loosely defined as language production at all ranges of the discursive spectrum, the term provided Vinokur with a useful heuristic for writing about language in flux in a manner that took into account not just the high-end linguistic production of belles-lettres, but also the everyday language use (and abuse) of more mundane, but equally influential sources – including …


«Ручкой Скрип-Скрип, Клавиатуркой Тюк-Тюк, Головёнкой Дум-Дум». О Влиянии Современных Письменных И Коммуникационных Технологий На Русскую Поэзию, Энрика Шмидт Jan 2008

«Ручкой Скрип-Скрип, Клавиатуркой Тюк-Тюк, Головёнкой Дум-Дум». О Влиянии Современных Письменных И Коммуникационных Технологий На Русскую Поэзию, Энрика Шмидт

Russian Language Journal

«Что специфически нового внес Интернет в литературу?» – спрашивает поэт Александр Левин (б.д.) в рамках дискуссий, посвященных существованию некоей предполагаемой «сетературы». И сам сразу же дает отрицательный ответ, исключая возможность такого влияния и тем более специфически сетевой эстетики: «Способ написания остался прежним: ручкой скрип-скрип, клавиатуркой тюк-тюк, головёнкой дум- дум» (там же). При этом весьма симптоматично, что процесс написания, который по мнению автора не влияет на литературное творчество, им самым описывается как раз посредством ономатопоэтических характеристик, непосредственно вызывающих ощущение материальности письма (скрип ручки на бумаге, стук пальцев на клавиатуре).


Использование Церковной Лексики И Отношение К Ней Среди Носителей Современного Русского Языка, Артемий Романов Jan 2008

Использование Церковной Лексики И Отношение К Ней Среди Носителей Современного Русского Языка, Артемий Романов

Russian Language Journal

Церковная лексика в современном русском языке Из всех языковых уровней (фонологический, морфологический, грамматический, синтаксический) именно лексика является наиболее чувствительной к изменениям в политике, экономике и культуре. В годы советской власти использование некоторых лексических элементов русского языка было искусственно приостановлено, часто по сугубо идеологическим причинам. Это особенно затронуло религиозную лексику, сфера употребления которой в русском языке очень существенно сузилась в XX веке. В постсоветский период лексическая система претерпевает очевидную нестабильность, что проявляется в неустойчивости границ между ядром лексической системы и ее периферией. Наблюдается интересная тенденция, связанная с возвращением некоторых историзмов, архаизмов, и в целом устаревших слов обратно в общее словоупотребление. В …


Rethinking Trümmerliteratur: The Aesthetics Of Destruction Ruins, Ruination, And Ruined Language In The Works Of Böll Grass, And Celan, Kurt R. Buhanan Mar 2007

Rethinking Trümmerliteratur: The Aesthetics Of Destruction Ruins, Ruination, And Ruined Language In The Works Of Böll Grass, And Celan, Kurt R. Buhanan

Theses and Dissertations

Trümmerliteratur - literally “rubble-literature" - is a brand of literature that became important after the Second World War, led by Heinrich Böll, whom I term the apologist of German Trümmerliteratur. Typically included under this classification are the writers who began to produce in the years immediately following the war, and in whose work the rubble and ruins of the landscape figure prominently. Böll provided the programmatic framework for the movement in his “Bekenntnis zur Trümmerliteratur" but his relationship to another type of ruin writing presents a point of friction when he appears to be working in a romantic mode to …

Implementing Task-Based Teaching From The Ground Up: Considerations For Lesson Planning And Classroom Practice, William Comer Jan 2007

Implementing Task-Based Teaching From The Ground Up: Considerations For Lesson Planning And Classroom Practice, William Comer

Russian Language Journal

In the past twenty years, Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) has become a widely discussed approach to teaching foreign and second languages, and a significant body of literature has grown up around it. The approach has even been implemented on a large scale in some areas; for example, since 1990, instruction in Dutch as a second language in the Flemish areas of Belgium has been organized solely around the principles of TBLT (Van den Branden 2006, 13).


Introduction To Volume 57 Jan 2007

Introduction To Volume 57

Russian Language Journal

Volume 57 of Russian Language Journal presents a distinguished set of U.S. and international research studies and reports reflecting the three major directions of RLJ: two significant contributions in the area of the description of contemporary standard Russian; two new works in the area of Russian language policy (one a corpus study, the other a status report); four new empirical studies on the acquisition of Russian as a foreign language by adult English-speaking learners; and two valuable studies ― one American, one Russian ― on recent changes affecting Russian in the foreign language classroom environment.


Lexical Complexity Of Learner Discourse: Interpersonal And Presentational Mode Descriptions In Russian, Julia Mikhailova Jan 2007

Lexical Complexity Of Learner Discourse: Interpersonal And Presentational Mode Descriptions In Russian, Julia Mikhailova

Russian Language Journal

In this case study I will analyze the lexical complexity of oral descriptions produced by learners of Russian in two different but related kinds of oral proficiency interviews, the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) and the Simulated Oral Proficiency Interview (SOPI). The OPI is a face-to-face or telephone interview of a speaker of a foreign language conducted by a tester certified by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). In the OPI, description is elicited by the examiner in the context of live interaction. The description is thus in interpersonal mode, as defined by the National Standards for …


Now I Know My Aбв’S: A Comparison Of Inductive And Deductive Methods Of Teaching On The Acquisition Of The Cyrillic Alphabet, Jennifer Bown, Thomas Bown, Courtenay Christiansen, Shalise Dudley, Shea Gibbons, Janine Green Jan 2007

Now I Know My Aбв’S: A Comparison Of Inductive And Deductive Methods Of Teaching On The Acquisition Of The Cyrillic Alphabet, Jennifer Bown, Thomas Bown, Courtenay Christiansen, Shalise Dudley, Shea Gibbons, Janine Green

Russian Language Journal

The study was designed to compare the effects of inductive verse deductive teaching methods on acquisition of the Russian alphabet. Inductive instruction refers to methods in which learners are first exposed to examples and then asked to extrapolate a rule from the example, whereas deductive instruction refers to methods in which learners are presented with a rule from the start. Eighty participants were randomly divided into two instructional groups, one receiving deductive instruction and the other receiving inductive instruction. Participants were given a pretest on Russian words and given instruction on the Cyrillic alphabet based on an inductive or a …


From Meaning To Form: An Alternative Model Of Functional Syntax, Arto Mustajoki Jan 2007

From Meaning To Form: An Alternative Model Of Functional Syntax, Arto Mustajoki

Russian Language Journal

The purpose of this article is to introduce a model for a meaning-based functional syntax. A full description of the model may be found in our recent monograph (Mustajoki 2006b). Work on the model has been carried out in the Department of Slavonic and Baltic Languages and Literature at the University of Helsinki over the last fifteen years. Given that the above-mentioned book and various shorter publications (Mustajoki 1997, 1999, 2003a, 2003b, 2004) have appeared in Russian, it seems appropriate to give a short overview of the model in English. The only presentation of the model in English thus far …

Self-Reported Russian And Belarusian Language Utilization In Key Economic, Political, And Social Domains In Belarus, N. Anthony Brown Jan 2007

Self-Reported Russian And Belarusian Language Utilization In Key Economic, Political, And Social Domains In Belarus, N. Anthony Brown

Russian Language Journal

The elicitation of language usage in the present study was carried out by means of a survey. Language utilization was surveyed in the home, in school, at work, and in government institutions to ascertain whether a functional hierarchy of domains in Belarusian and/or Russian obtains in Belarus. In addition, the study examines whether domain-specific language utilization varies according to participants’ sex. Respondents were asked to evaluate choice of language as “useful” or “necessary” for each domain. Findings reflect self-reports from 559 students born in Belarus and attending eight different institutions of higher education, cumulatively. Data were collected in three cities, …


Language Learning Behaviors Outside Of The Study Abroad Classroom: An Analysis Of Actr Program Participants At The Semester, Academic Year And Flagship Levels, Sharon L. Bain Jan 2007

Language Learning Behaviors Outside Of The Study Abroad Classroom: An Analysis Of Actr Program Participants At The Semester, Academic Year And Flagship Levels, Sharon L. Bain

Russian Language Journal

Recent research in the field of second language acquisition is reconsidering the relationship between learning context and language gain, and is reevaluating study abroad programs compared to home-based immersion programs (Collentine and Freed 2004; Freed et al 2004, Segalowitz et al 2004). These researchers and others (Pellegrino 2005, Rivers 1998, Davidson et al 1995) point out that learners in study abroad programs often do not achieve expected language gains across major thresholds as measured by ACTFL oral proficiency standards, and a large proportion of students make no measurable gain, even after four months of study abroad in Russia (Davidson 2007, …


Proverbial Language And Its Role In Acquiring A Second Language And Culture, Natalya Vanyushkina Jan 2007

Proverbial Language And Its Role In Acquiring A Second Language And Culture, Natalya Vanyushkina

Russian Language Journal

Researchers in the domain of Russian as a foreign and a second language have paid relatively little attention to proverbs as units of linguistic and cultural expression. Due to this neglect and the overall scarcity of statistical data on current Russian proverbial language, many Russian textbooks and dictionaries offer at best some outdated proverbs that have fallen into disuse in contemporary Russia and at worst, disregard proverbial language altogether. However, this expressive language deserves much more serious consideration from both researchers and teachers of Russian. Russian native speakers take it for granted that their interlocutors share the assumptions behind proverbs, …

Report On The Xi International Congress Of Maprial Varna Free University, Bulgaria September 2007, Robert Channon, Mary Nicholas, William Rivers

Russian Language Journal

This overview of the papers at the MAPRIAL XI Congress in Varna focuses on presentations in linguistic analysis. Other overviews concentrate on the presentations in other areas. There were a great many highly compelling papers dealing with linguistic analysis, including presentations by some linguists whose names will be very familiar to those who follow this discipline. The papers’ topics ran the gamut from the history and development of Russian to those focusing on the analysis of contemporary Russian, as well as those looking ahead to how Russian may be changing, including current developments in colloquial language and slang. A particular …


Русский Язык И Русская Речь: Парадоксы Современности, Татьяна Балыхина Jan 2007

Русский Язык И Русская Речь: Парадоксы Современности, Татьяна Балыхина

Russian Language Journal

Активные тенденции в современном русском языке. Язык и время - одна из проблем, волнующих исследователей. Язык живет во времени, а время отражается в языке, точнее оказывает влияние на язык. Возросшие темпы языковых изменений объясняются прежде всего меняющимся составом и обликом русского общества, сменой социальных, политических, экономических, а также психологических установок.


Irgendwo Muss Man Doch Einmal Hingehoeren': Irmgard Keun As Heiress To The Flaneur.", Matthew D. Embley Mar 2006

Irgendwo Muss Man Doch Einmal Hingehoeren': Irmgard Keun As Heiress To The Flaneur.", Matthew D. Embley

Theses and Dissertations

Flanerie is the art of taking a walk, leisurely observing the movements and spaces of the city. By writing about cityscapes, urban realms, and the condition of society, flaneurs are able to describe the uniqueness of the metropolis and give life to the modern city—creating a photograph of an urban setting. In the early nineteenth century, and even today, flaneur literature has been ultimately dominated by men who have documented their cultural and aesthetic interactions with the city. During these times, unwritten rules have often excluded the female from participating in parts of the urban society. Today, these unwritten rules …
