            <description><![CDATA[This study focuses on the image of women in socialist society, as it appears in several articles on International Women’s Day in the Romanian-German newspaper Neuer Weg in the 1950s. The political authorities of the time would use Women’s Day to draw attention not only to problems specific to women, such as the protection of mother and child, women in the family and at work, but also to discuss political issues such as equal rights for women, universal, equal, secret and direct women’s suffrage and securing peace.The author takes the standpoint of sociolinguistics and pragmalinguistics in analysing and evaluating the linguistic data, whereby the language material points out particularities on a lexical, morpho-syntactic and pragmatic level.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[It is with the words „Denkst du, das Leben besteht aus Geschichten?“2 that Peterʼs grandfather answers to Peterʼs request to be told yet another story. They say that a collective memory is only imaginable and perceivable in its manifestations of individuals. This is the ace up Karin Gündischs sleeve that she uses in her novel Weit, hinter den Wäldern. A relatively unknown, yet valuable author, she manages to envision the post World War II world in a Saxonian village in a very authentic way. Filtered through the gaze of young Peter, 12, the author tells the stories of the deprivations and humiliations that Saxonians had to endure after World War II in Russian imprisonment. The novel also talks about guilt on both ends. At first, the stories are entertaining for the children, but they soon discover they are listening to stories about survival in dire times. Many storytellers get to tell their stories throughout the novel, as the book abounds in Scheherezade-like stories that soften the blow of the hard day to day life in Transylvania. This article aims at answering the question as to what roles storytelling plays in a context of atrocity. Roger Willemsen warns about the tough process of dealing with a difficult past, which Karin Gündisch, in her book for children and teenagers, but also for adults excels at: “There is no easy way to talk about the horrendous.“]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The publication of a comprehensive account of the historical development of Romania’s cultural past must be acknowledged as an editorial event. This overview work on Romanian cultural and intellectual history in the inter-war period is impressive in terms of the quality of its content and typographical design, the breadth of its topics and the interdisciplinary combinations that document the formative influence of the German language and culture on Romanian cultural and intellectual history in a period marked by upheaval. Published in late summer 2023, the three-part handbook in large format, which is available in two volumes and an equally impressive 1,400 pages, explores the relationship between language, culture and identity from different perspectives.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Culture and civilization is probably one of the most discussed areas in foreign language didactics. It is taught both implicitly in the teaching of German as a foreign language and as an independent subject in university teaching. It is also offered at many Romanian universities as part of German-language degree courses. Especially in subjects in which prospective teachers and translators are trained, culture and civilization occupies a special position because it plays the undisputedly important role of imparting cultural knowledge about the target language country, which is seen as the second component in foreign language acquisition alongside linguistic knowledge. While foreign language lessons usually deal with everyday cultural topics, university courses on culture and civilization tend to focus on geography, history, politics, media, art and/or economics, usually according to the respective focus of the department where the culture and civilization course is offered. This article deals with academic research on the subject of culture and civilization at Romanian universities after 1995, specifically with the objectives and methods for teaching culture and civilization, the organization of encounters in culture and civilization lessons and possible subject catalogs.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Harald Grill is a German author from Eastern Bavaria who predominantly writes poetry and travel books, as well as travel features for radio and television. He became known due to his project of a ‘returning home twice’, when he walked back on foot to his hometown of Regensburg, on the river Danube, two times, in 2000 starting from the North Cape, and in 2001 starting from Sicily. In 2015, he travelled to Southeastern Europe and wrote a book based upon the experiences and reflections during this voyage. In the following, it shall be demonstrated how the river Danube, to which Grill since his childhood has had close biographical ties, structures the text of this travel book and moreover serves as a medium of self-reflection and therapeutic remedy following the author’s loss of his mother.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Herta Müller outlined several times the differences between the German and the Romanian languages. The presence of the Romanian language in the texts of Herta Müller has already been analysed in various publications. The present paper focuses however on the German-Romanian linguistic interferences in her collages. The paper investigates both the Romanian interferences in the collages of the German volumes and the German interferences in the collages of the Romanian volume Este sau nu este Ion by providing concrete examples. A German-Romanian collage is also highlighted.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This article deals with so-called “nationality schools”, educational institutions in which the primary language of instruction generally differs from the language of the majority society. Conceptually, this applies to minority schools in regions with autochthonous German minorities, which since the 1990s have tended to develop into schools of encounter, as the proportion of autochthonous native speakers has fallen to a maximum of 5 percent of the student body. This makes the educational institutions, which are often referred to as elite schools, all the more sought-after by the majority society. The social relevance of these schools is based on a pedagogical concept that transcends national borders in education and training and makes international perspectives a matter of course in early school years. It opens up transnational educational spaces in which linguistic diversity and multilingualism are part of everyday life.Subject lessons at these schools are usually taught in the pupils’ second or foreign language and require language-sensitive subject teaching, which requires the teaching and learning of the subject matter, the educational language of the subject and the foreign language German in equal measure (Content and Language Integrated Learning). Various models are presented for locating the language of education, which illustrate the particular importance of linking language and subject learning. Only mastery of the language of education enables difficult and cognitively demanding contexts to be penetrated linguistically and information to be processed. Educational language is therefore an indispensable prerequisite and at the same time a challenge for subject teaching a second or foreign language. The article shows examples of the educational language tools that need to be taught at different levels and provides a possible structuring aid for teachers and learners by discussing the “scaffolding” model.]]></description>

It deals both with the image of the Wallachians in Transylvanian Saxon documents and with the linguistic forms in which the ethnonym “Wallachian” appears in different periods and sources. In addition to historical documents, one of the important sources is the Dictionary of the Transylvanian Saxon Language, “Siebenbürgisch-Sächsisches Wörterbuch”.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Artificial intelligence is changing our world and will change it ever more profoundly in the future. As a result, numerous areas of work are also changing, professions and jobs are disappearing, while others must change and adapt to survive. These transformations also affect the translation market and the work of translators. Machine translation (MT) transfers entire texts from one language to another in a matter of seconds, enabling communication on a scale and at a speed that could never have been dreamed of in the past. However, these MT systems have been around for over 70 years and are still not able to deliver the perfect translation or make human translators superfluous. So how should aspiring translators deal with these technologies, how should they use them to make their work more efficient and therefore more profitable?These are questions that we, as trainers of these future translators, should address in our teaching in order to prepare our students for the labour market of the 21st century. This article wishes to discuss some theoretical aspects of MT to address some concrete elements that I believe could and should be introduced into translation courses and that are intended to stimulate discussion and reflection.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Childhood as a theme has often been addressed in various works, but in this case, it is outlined through the stories handed down from generation to generation by the Zipser Saxons from Maramuresh and Southbukovina, who have had a similar path and development over the years. Folk tales are a source of cultural identity and collective memory, especially for ethnic minorities such as the Zipser Saxons, often offering deep insights into the history, traditions and values of their community. This raises the question of how the childhood memories of a generation shaped by destiny are conveyed through the stories.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This paper examines the persistent evolution of themes and motifs in Franz Hodjak‘s poetry since his literary beginnings, focusing on his latest collection of poems. Hodjak‘s recent works delve into familiar themes such as freedom, existential emptiness, and the absence-defined concepts of identity, homeland, illusions, and freedom. Additionally, these poems address core life aspects like transience, farewell, hope, love, grief, dreams, and happiness. While these themes echo in his earlier works, Hodjak‘s unflinching perspective unveils the interconnectedness and impermanence of the world. The focus of this analysis lies in the enduring trust in language that permeates Hodjak‘s work.]]></description>

In contact with the memory space of Transylvania and the history of the Transylvanian Saxons, she overcomes the break in her biography, which is brought together by the image of the “Half Stone”. Against the background of historical turning points, the Transylvanian-Saxon world is presented as a landscape of memory, changing identity discourses are presented, which are linked to the overall political climate and different places of memory. The search for identity and the repressed memories find their counterpart in grandmother’s winding house.]]></description>

To this end, the concept of minor literature according to Franz Kafka is utilized and linked with the concept of a global history of German literature. Emphasis is placed on the continuity in this literature despite the changes resulting from engagement with the communist system in Romania before 1989 and through the 1989 revolution in Romania. Many of the authors have emigrated and live today in Germany. Nevertheless, their works remains part of the minor literature in Germany as well.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Media linguistics, an interdisciplinary research field, extensively engages in the analysis of language in the media and its impact on society. An interesting application case in media linguistics concerns the analysis of headlines in online press. Headlines in the media play a crucial role in information dissemination and significantly influence public opinion formation. When it comes to political events or international developments, headlines serve as powerful tools to shape the perception of the news and thus steer readers’ attitudes in a desired direction. In this article, I refer to the Austrian, German and Romanian online press regarding Romania’s accession to the Schengen Area. It is noticeable that the coverage in German media often appears more distant, while Austrian media adopt a critical tone in their headlines. This particularity could be linked to Austria’s geo graphical proximity to Romania, raising interesting questions about media linguistics and the cultural imprint on media coverage. In addition, the analysis also employs a pragmalinguistic perspective, which explores how linguistic elements in headlines are used within specific communicative contexts to convey meaning and achieve pragmatic goals.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The lexem „Austage“ is a word that is attested in Transylvanian Saxon in the sense of t h e l a s t days of winter and the first days of the be -ginning of spring, also as an older term for s p r i n g in general, which covers the period from about 21 March to 21 June. In the article, the dates for the above-described period „Austage“ are initially given as dates in legal documents from the 16th to and including the 18th century, followed by selected vernacular examples. Subsequently, based on certain peasant expressions as well as peasant rules and proverbs, the most important agricultural work is discussed, which is carried out by the farmer in those „Austage“ days awaited with longing and impatience. Furthermore, northern Transylvanian word formation constructions using with the lexem „Austage“ are analysed stating their meanings and their word formation process, whereby reference is made to corresponding specialist literature on word formation in contemporary German. The vernacular examples documented in the article are taken from the Transylvanian-Saxon Dictionary, the North Transylvanian Dictionary and Transylvanian-Saxon specialist and vernacular literature.]]></description>
