This paper presents a study concerning the status of film titles as short texts. First, the definitions of film titles and texts are presented, and comments are made. In the next step, the status of film titles as short texts is discussed regarding the textuality criteria whereby selected German-language titles of series are presented and commented on. The aim of this paper is to find out whether and to what extent the selected titles fulfil the criteria, and thus if they can be regarded as short texts.
Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt eine Fortsetzung und Vervollständigung von Forschungen der Autorin zu konventionellen und nicht konventionellen Metaphern dar, deren Ergebnisse bei Feret 2016 veröffentlicht worden sind. Zuerst wird auf die Charakteristik von Metaphern eingegangen, wobei unterschiedliche Ansätze zur Differenzierung zwischen konventionellen und nicht konventionellen Metaphern präsentiert und kommentiert werden. In Anlehnung daran werden Kriterien herausgearbeitet, nach denen man unterscheiden kann, ob es sich bei dem jeweiligen Ausdruck um eine konventionelle oder aber eine nicht konventionelle Metapher handelt. Die herausgearbeiteten Kriterien werden danach an ausgewählten Beispielen von metaphorischen Ausdrücken ausgewertet.On differentiating between conventional and unconventionalmetaphorsThis paper refers to the analysis by Feret 2016. The analysis was carried out on the basis of the conceptual metaphor theory by Lakoff and Johnson 1980, 1999. First, various approaches to the ways of defining and distinguishing the terms ‘conventional metaphor’ and ‘unconventional metaphor’ are discussed. Based on this discussion, the criteria for determining if we deal with a conventional metaphor or an unconventional one were developed and the analysis of the selected examples was conducted.
