“…It does not fully take into acBrought to you by | New York University Bobst Library Technical Services Authenticated Download Date | 6/17/15 10:51 AM count the multifunctionality of hedging devices which, depending on linguistic and extra-linguistic criteria, can serve a wide range of rhetorical and discourse purposes. Schröder (1993) has to be credited with emphasizing the need for a communicative-pragmatic approach, the same applies, especially in relation to modal particles in German, to Burkhardt (1994).…”

“…All agree on the MPs functioning at the non-propositional level of the utterance (Thurmair 1991), where MPs signal interpersonal relations, that is, relations between speaker and hearer(s) in the communicational context. What they signal more concretely, however, is not clear: the attitude of the speaker towards the propositional content (Nehls 1989), the epistemic attitude of the speaker (Doherty 1987;Zimmermann 2007), the modification/specification of the illocution (Jacobs 1991;Foolen 1993;Burkhardt 1994;Burkhardt 1995;Waltereit 2001;) or the expression of politeness (Vismans 1994;Brown and Levinson 1996).…”

Dutch modal particles maar and wel and their English equivalents in different genres* Sofie NiemegeersThis paper presents the results of a study on the use of the Dutch modal particles (MPs) maar and wel and their translation equivalents in a translation corpus containing both Dutch-English (DU-EN) and English-Dutch (EN-DU) texts. Although a number of linguistic studies has dealt with modal particles, an in-depth translation approach is still missing. Our first aim is to detemine frequency of use from the corpus; the results point to some remarkable differences in the behavior of the MPs maar and wel in DU-EN and EN-DU target texts and in fiction versus non-fiction. These results can be evaluated against the background of an established hypothesis of translation behavior, the Unique Items Hypothesis (Tirkkonen-Condit 2004), which is relevant in the context of the translation of Dutch MPs into English. The second aim is to present an in-depth analysis of the translation of the MP wel in a number of contexts in order to determine: 1) whether the English equivalents confirm our intuition regarding the categoryinternal meaning variations of MP wel depending on its context of use (these meaning variations have not been sufficiently dealt with in the literature on wel; and 2) whether there are differences in the use of the English equivalents of MP wel in the DU-EN and EN-DU subcorpora.

M. Egbert, Syntaktische Merkmale von übrigens in seiner Hauptposition 1 Maria Egbert Syntaktische Merkmale von übrigens in seiner Hauptposition: Im Mittelfeld des Verb-Zweit-Satzes 1This study analyzes the syntactic positioning of 105 instances of the German word übrigens (roughly translated into English as by the way or incidentally), as it occurs in a corpus of written language and spontaneous everyday conversation. Whereas theoretically, übrigens can be placed in different sentence types, and within these sentence types in a large number of syntactic positions, the empirical analysis yields that in everyday conversation, übrigens holds one main position in one type of sentence: the mid-field position in verb-second sentences. In terms of information structure and theme/rheme organization, übrigens in mid-field position divides the sentence into two parts. The sentence part prior to übrigens is low in information and thematic content, whereas the sentence part immediately following übrigens is topically more dense. In contrast to other positions, übrigens in its mid-field position is not connected to abrupt topic shifts.
