Changes Between the Lines

Diachronic contact phenomena in written Pennsylvania German

By: Doris Stolberg

The book investigates the diachronic dimension of contact-induced language change based on empirical data from Pennsylvania German (PG), a variety of German in long-term contact with English. Written data published in local print media from Pennsylvania (USA) between 1868 and 1992 are analyzed with respect to semantic changes in the argument structure of verbs, the use of impersonal constructions, word order changes in subordinate clauses and in prepositional phrase constructions. The research objective is to trace language change based on diachronic empirical data, and to assess whether existing models of language contact make provisions to cover the long-term developments found in PG. The focus of the study is thus twofold: first, it provides a detailed analysis of selected semantic and syntactic changes in Pennsylvania German, and second, it links the empirical findings to theoretical approaches to language contact. Previous investigations of PG have drawn a more or less static, rather than dynamic, picture of this contact variety. The present study explores how the dynamics of language contact can bring about language mixing, borrowing, and, eventually, language change, taking into account psycholinguistic processes in (the head of) the bilingual speaker.

The Book in Mamluk Egypt and Syria (1250-1517)

Scribes, Libraries and Market

By: Doris Behrens-Abouseif

This book is the first to date to be dedicated to the circulation of the book as a commodity in the Mamluk sultanate. It discusses the impact of princely patronage on the production of books, the formation and management of libraries in religious institutions, their size and their physical setting. It documents the significance of private collections and their interaction with institutional libraries and the role of charitable endowments (waqf ) in the life of libraries. The market as a venue of intellectual and commercial exchanges and a production centre is explored with references to prices and fees. The social and professional background of scribes and calligraphers occupies a major place in this study, which also documents the chain of master-calligraphers over the entire Mamluk period. For her study the author relies on biographical dictionaries, chronicles, waqf documents and manuscripts.

Twisted Cross

The German Christian Movement in the Third Reich

By: Doris L. Bergen

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Twisted Cross

The German Christian Movement in the Third Reich

By: Doris L. Bergen

How did Germany's Christians respond to Nazism? In Twisted Cross, Doris Bergen addresses one important element of this response by focusing on the 600,000 self-described 'German Christians,' who sought to expunge all Jewish elements from the Christian church. In a process that became more daring as Nazi plans for genocide unfolded, this group of Protestant lay people and clergy rejected the Old Testament, ousted people defined as non-Aryans from their congregations, denied the Jewish ancestry of Jesus, and removed Hebrew words like 'Hallelujah' from hymns. Bergen refutes the notion that the German Christians were a marginal group and demonstrates that members occupied key positions within the Protestant church even after their agenda was rejected by the Nazi leadership. Extending her analysis into the postwar period, Bergen shows how the German Christians were relatively easily reincorporated into mainstream church life after 1945. Throughout Twisted Cross, Bergen reveals the important role played by women and by the ideology of spiritual motherhood amid the German Christians' glorification of a 'manly' church.

Egypt's Adjustment to Ottoman Rule

Institutions, Waqf and Architecture in Cairo (16th & 17th Centuries)

By: Doris Behrens-Abouseif

Egypt's Adjustment to Ottoman Rule deals with the impact of the Ottoman conquest of Egypt on its political, religious and social institutions, their transition from the Mamluk to the Ottoman regime and further development up to the 17th century. The relationship between the Ottoman ruling establishment, the local religious groups and the military aristocracy is discussed in the first part of the volume. Waqf documents are a major source for this study which, in the second part, analyzes and compares the endowments of the Ottoman governors and those of the military aristocracy and their respective impact on the urban development and architecture of Cairo in this period. The architecture is documented with 70 photographs and figures. By integrating architecture and urbanism in the historical analysis of the period under study, this book is important for historians and art historians of Egypt.

Granny D

Walking Across America in My Ninetieth Year

By: Doris Haddock,Dennis Burke

There's a cancer, and it's killing our democracy. A poor man has to sell his soul to get elected. I cry for this country." On February 29, 2000, ninety-year-old Doris “Granny D” Haddock completed her 3,200-mile, fourteen-month walk from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. She walked through 105-degree deserts and blinding blizzards, despite arthritis and emphysema. Along her way, her remarkable speeches — rich with wisdom, love, and political insight — transformed individuals and communities and jump-started a full-blown movement. She became a national heroine. On her journey, Haddock kept a diary — tracking the progress of her walk and recalling events in her life and the insights that have given her. Granny D celebrates an exuberant life of love, activism, and adventure — from writing one-woman feminist plays in the 1930s to stopping nuclear testing near an Eskimo fishing village in 1960 to Haddock’s current crusade. Threaded throughout is the spirit of her beloved hometown of Dublin/Peterborough, New Hampshire — Thornton Wilder’s inspirations for Grovers Croner in Out Town — a quintessentially American center of New England pluck, Yankee ingenuity and can-do attitude. Told in Doris Haddock’s distinct and unforgettable voice, Granny D will move, amuse, and inspire readers of all ages with its clarion message that one person can indeed make a difference.

China im Zeichen von Globalisierung und Entwicklung

By: Doris Fischer,Andreas Oberheitmann

Am 16. September 2000 hat Ernst Hagemann sein 70. Lebensjahr vollendet. Aus Anlaß dieses Tages und in Dankbarkeit für sein Engagement der Gründung und Erhaltung des Iserlohn-Kreises sowie der Anerkennung seines Lebenswerkes im Bereich der China-Forschung widmen ihm Freunde und Kollegen im Iserlohn-Kreis sowie Kollegen des DIW die vorliegende Festschrift. Ernst Hagemann war seit 1963 Mitarbeiter im DIW. Insbesondere rekonstruierte er dort die Außenhandelsstatistik der VR China, welche bis dahin nicht verfügbar war und ein Novum in der deutschen Chinaforschung darstellte. In den 1980er und 1990er Jahren trat zunehmend die Transformationsforschung in den Vordergrund seiner wissenschaftlichen Tätigkeit. Seit seinem Ausscheiden aus dem DIW im Jahr 1996 ist Ernst Hagemann weiterhin als Berater für internationale Organisationen und Unternehmen aktiv.Will man über China empirisch arbeiten, ist eine gründliche Analyse des zu Grunde liegenden statistischen Materials erforderlich. Die Beiträge von Margot Schüller "Getting the numbers right - Deficiencies in China's statistical system", von Doris Fischer "What's in a number? The role of statistics in China's contemporary economic research and economic policies", von Björn Alpermann "Die chinesische Umweltstatistik: Eine materialkritische Einführung" sowie von Bettina Gransow "Counting China's Floating Population: A Gendered Perspective" gehen den wichtigen Fragen des Umgangs mit chinesischen Originaldaten nach. Globalisierung und Entwicklung zeigen sich in China an einer Fülle von Beispielen. Christian von Hirschhausen und Michael Andres untersuchen diese Frage in ihrem Beitrag "Long-term electricity demand in China - From quantitative to qualitative growth?" in bezug auf die Elektrizitätswirtschaft, Andreas Oberheitmann in seinem Artikel "WTO and the Kyoto process - possible effects on China's energy policy and trade" hinsichtlich der internationalen Klimaverhandlungen, der Energiepolitik und des Handels Chinas.

Englisch - Wort für Wort: Kauderwelsch-Sprachführer von Reise Know-How

By: Doris Werner-Ulrich

Die Sprachführer der Kauderwelsch-Reihe orientieren sich am typischen Reisealltag und vermitteln auf anregende Weise das nötige Rüstzeug, um ohne lästige Büffelei möglichst schnell mit dem Sprechen beginnen zu können, wenn auch vielleicht nicht immer druckreif. Besonders hilfreich ist hierbei die Wort-für-Wort-Übersetzung, die es ermöglicht, mit einem Blick die Struktur und "Denkweise" der jeweiligen Sprache zu durchschauen. Englisch ist zum Glück eine Sprache, die in vielen Regionen auch außerhalb des englischen Sprachraums zumindest einigermaßen verstanden und gesprochen wird. Wenn man sich also einmal überwunden hat, Englisch zu lernen, wird man es auf Reisen immer wieder anwenden können. Die Mühe lohnt sich also. Zudem ist die englische Sprache für Deutsche gar nicht so kompliziert, da beide Sprachen der germanischen Sprachgruppe angehören und somit gewisse Ähnlichkeiten in Vokabular und Grammatik aufweisen. Dieser Kauderwelsch-Sprachführer ist für Leute gedacht, die bisher kein Englisch gelernt oder ihren bereits einige Jahre zurückliegenden Englischunterricht erfolgreich verdrängt haben. Es soll dem Reisenden ermöglichen, eigenständig Sätze zu bilden und sich so in den verschiedensten Situationen zurechtzufinden. Mit Links zu Aussprachebeispielen, mit denen man sich ausgewählte Wörter, Sätze und Redewendungen aus dem Buch anhören kann. Kompletter AusspracheTrainer auf Audio-CD oder als Download separat erhältlich.
