Item Open Access Alternation preferences affect focus marking in German and English differently(2023) Schauffler, NadjaThis study investigates the interplay between alternation preferences and corrective focus marking in the production of German and English speakers. Both languages prefer an alternation of strong and weak, and both use pitch accenting to indicate focus structure. The objective of the study is to determine whether the preference for rhythmic alternation can account for variations in the prosodic marking of focus. Contrary to previous claims, the results obtained from three production experiments indicate that rhythmic adjustment strategies do occur during focus marking. However, despite the similarities between the two languages, they employ different strategies when alternation and focus marking work in opposite directions. German speakers often employ a melodic alternation of high and low by realizing the first of two adjacent focus accents with a rising pitch accent (L*H), while English speakers frequently omit the first focus accent in clash contexts. This finding is further supported by a second experiment that investigates pitch accent clashes in rhythm rule contexts under various focus environments. The findings suggest that the preference for alternation can influence the prosodic marking of focus and contributes to variation in the realization of information-structure categories.Item Open Access Die Reformation im Spiegel südwestdeutscher benediktinischer Geschichtsschreibung des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts : zum klösterlichen Wissenschaftsbetrieb im Jahrhundert der Säkularisation(1986) Quarthal, Franz»Reformatio« war für benediktinische Historiker ein permanenter Prozeß, nicht ein zentrales und einmaliges Ereignis wie in der protestantischen Historiographie. Die traditionelle Geschichtsschreibung beschränkte sich zumeist auf die Vergangenheit des eigenen Hauses, wobei die gesamtkirchlichen Zusammenhänge zurücktraten. Das Zeitalter der Reformation war in dieser Sicht nur eine Epoche der Prüfungen und der Verluste, zugleich aber auch in der Perspektive der benediktinischen Geschichtsschreiber eine Zeit der Bewährung der südwestdeutschen Konvente.Item Open Access Item Open Access Christopher Ray, The evolution of relativity : Bristol ..., Adam Hilger, 1987; [Rezension](1988) Hentschel, Klaus-Item Open Access Item Open Access Der Verkauf Hohenbergs an Österreich vom 26. Oktober 1381 : Überlegungen zum Hohenbergjahr 1981(1981) Quarthal, FranzAm 26. Oktober 1981 jährte sich zum 600. Male der Tag, an dem Graf Rudolf III. von Hohenberg zu Brugg im Aargau den gesamten Teil der Grafschaft Hohenberg, der sich in der Hand des Rottenburger Zweiges dieses Grafengeschlechtes befand, an den österreichischen Herzog Leopold lII. verkaufte. Territorial handelte es sich um das Gebiet der späteren Oberen und Niederen Herrschaft Hohenberg, dazu die 1497 an das Haus Zollern vertauschte Herrschaft Haigerloch, die Städte Ebingen und Dornstetten, den Turm zu Altensteig im Schwarzwald sowie die Mannschaft zu Waldenbuch.Item Open Access Rottenburg im 18.

The corpus contains data elicited in formal and informal communicative situations, by male/female and adolescent/adult speakers. The resource is presented with its architecture and annotation, and it is shown how it is used for the analysis of intonational features of spontaneous mono- and bilingual Russian speech. The analyses investigate the length of intonation phrases, types and number of pitch accents, and boundary tones. It emerges that the speaker groups do not differ in the inventory of pitch accents and boundary tones or in the relative frequency of these tonal events. However, they do differ in the length of intonation phrases (IPs), with heritage speakers showing shorter IPs also in the informal communicative situation. Both groups also differ concerning the number of pitch accents used on content words, with heritage speakers using more pitch accents than monolingually raised speakers. The results are discussed with respect to register differentiation and differences in prosodic density across both speaker groups.Item Open Access Item Open Access Commemorating public figures : in favour of a fictionalist position(2020) Berninger, AnjaIn this article, I discuss the commemoration of public figures such as Nelson Mandela and Yitzhak Rabin. In many cases, our commemoration of such figures is based on the admiration we feel for them. However, closer inspection reveals that most (if not all) of those we currently honour do not qualify as fitting objects of admiration. Yet, we may still have the strong intuition that we ought to continue commemorating them in this way. I highlight two problems that arise here: the problem that the expressed admiration does not seem appropriate with respect to the object and the problem that continued commemorative practices lead to rationality issues. In response to these issues, I suggest taking a fictionalist position with respect to commemoration. This crucially involves sharply distinguishing between commemorative and other discourses, as well as understanding the objects of our commemorative practices as fictional objects.
