Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, Saarland University (Anglistik, Amerikanistik und Anglophone Kulturen), course: Hauptseminar First Language Acquisition, language: English, abstract: In this paper, I analyse the patterns of intra-sentential code switching in the speech of bilingual children aged between of two and four years.The first section will deal with some of the theoretical approaches to code switching which try to establish certain grammatical rules for this linguistic phenomenon.Afterwards, I will analyse the code switches in the speech acts of different children in order to find out more about the nature of these switches. The aim is to find out whether code switches, within the sentence boundaries, always occur in the same position or if they can be found anywhere in the sentence. Furthermore, I will analyse what types of words are being switched and if the switches violate the word order of the sentences. All this will be looked at with regard to the principles mentioned in the first section and whether the code switches adhere to these principles or violate them.The findings and results presented here should be considered with reservation since the brevity of this paper does not allow the analysis of a representative amount of data. The data is taken from the CHILDES Corpus as well as from Gawlitzek-Maiwald and Tracy's article Bilingual Bootstrapping and from Albrecht's publication I can speak German- und Deutsch: The development and use of code-switching among simultaneous and successive English-German bilingual children.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Saarland University (Anglistik, Amerikanistik und Anglophone Kulturen), course: Hauptseminar Shakespeare's Changing Comedies, language: English, abstract: The 17th century witnesses the rise of a new social class in England: the middle class. At this time, mainly merchants and traders belong to this community. They are rich, powerful and educated. In The Merry Wives of Windsor, the two middle class families, namely the Fords and the Pages, form the head of the Windsor community and are its leaders. In order to be able to understand the position of this social class in society, it needs to be seen in comparison with the other residents and visitors of the city. By choosing Windsor as the setting, Shakespeare links the city of Windsor and its independent middle class with the presence of the monarchy. The proximity to Windsor Castle and the siege of the Order of the Garter bring the aristocracy into the play and introduce the authority of the Crown. Due to Fenton's and Falstaff's presence in the play, Windsor's middle class has to face the social class above them and the problems which exist between the two. However, it is not only the aristocracy which helps the Windsor middle class to define and establish themselves but also the foreigners in the play. Therefore, it is important to consider the interactions of the middle class with Parson Evans or Dr. Caius in order to see how far these foreigners differ from the English and how they help the Fords and the Pages to establish themselves in their society and to reconfirm their national identity as well as their position in society. The use of the term 'middle class', however, is problematic. Since it includes the term 'middle', the question arises of what 'middle' actually means, opposed to whom or what this class is the middle and in which context it has to be seen. Since the word 'bourgeoisie' has its ethymological origin in the French language and generally designs an inhabitant of a city or town, this word includes the two families who are relevant to this topic. Therefore, the term 'bourgeoisie' will be used synonymously in this paper.Several attempts have been made to define the term. 'As Immanuel Wallerstein explains, critics generally define members of the bourgeoisie either culturally - by their style of life and opportunities for consumption - or economically - by their relations to production and opportunities for investment' . The definition which is most suitable for this paper is the one that the bourgeoisie of Renaissance England is 'that feudal middle class which was neither nobility nor peasantry'.…
