Sprachliche Ausgrenzung in der Lexikographie des Spanischen

This builds the ground for discussing (anti-)discrimination issues in Spanish lexicography, exemplified, first, by the emblematic controversy about the inclusion, or exclusion, of the expression judiada ('dirty trick') in the Dictionary of the Real Academia Española. We go on, then, to analyze and discuss the history of the article raza in Spanish lexicography, and the use of raza in lexicographic definitions of the latest edition of the Dictionary. Our comparative analysis shows that raza is pre dominantly used for describing (post-)colonial issues related to the raza negra. Although being a highly controversial topic, definition analysis shows that speaking of raza doesn't seem to be taboo in "official" Spanish lexicography, nor does etnia represent a term that could, or should, replace raza in lexicographic definitions.

Gleichwohl hat die Sprachwissenschaft in Deutschland, besonders aber in Spanien selbst, nur ganz allm?hlich Abschied genommen von der l?ngst nicht mehr der Realit?t entsprechenden Vorstellung des an der Qualit?t seiner Sprache desinteressierten Sprachbenutzers. So stellte vor gut drei?ig Jahren, 1961, der bedeutendste damalige Grammatiker, Salvador Fern?ndez Ram?rez, fest, das Interesse an den normativen Problemen der Sprache sei in Spanien seit einigen Jahr zehnten erkaltet: Er schrieb damals im Vorwort zur ersten Auflage von Manuel Secos Schwierigkeitenw?rterbuch: "Desde hace algunos decenios hemos asistido en Espa?a a un extra?o enfriamiento del inter?s por los problemas normativos de la lengua"2. Knapp zwanzig Jahre sp?ter, 1979, konnte auch ein Kenner wie Fran cisco Marcos Marin nichts Neues vermelden, als er das seiner Meinung nach ?bedeutsame Faktum" mitteilte, da? sich in den letzten siebzig Jahr g?ngen der f?hrenden Tageszeitung Valladolids gemeint war nat?rlich der ?ber 150 Jahre alte, traditionsreiche Norte de CastilU ? nicht ein ein ziger sprachkritischer Artikel finde. Er habe deswegen den Plan einer ent sprechenden Untersuchung aufgeben m?ssen, ?por falta absoluta de material"3.

Historical Romance Linguistics: The Future of a Discipline

La corónica: A Journal of Medieval Hispanic Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, 2005

It seems to me that the thought-provoking critical cluster on the presumable death of a discipline (Dworkin 2003) offers an excellent synthesis of the arguments that can be put forward to demonstrate that Historical Romance Linguistics is a "vital" and "evolving" discipline. This vitality, it seems, is impressively represented by the recent, multifaceted Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik (Holtus, Metzeltin, and Schmitt 1988-2001) and the new Romanische Sprachgeschichte (Ernst, Gleßgen, Schmitt, and Schweickard 2003-). So, why continue the debate, if tout va bien dans le meilleur des mondes? As I see it, there is a discrepancy between the "vitality" of excellent research represented by the work of distinguished scholars, and the uncertainties that surround the discipline in its epistemological and academic surroundings-not only in the US, but also in Europe. Considerations about the "vitality" of our discipline should include these two aspects. The 2003 debate forms part of a tradition of défenses et illustrations which goes back, at least in Germany, to the 1985 discussions of the Deutsche Romanistentag on Romance Philology as an "impossible discipline" (Nies and Grimm 1988). At that moment, even the most enthusiastic defenders of Romanistik admitted the "difficult unity" of the discipline; and two of the most distinguished German scholars of Romance Philology, Harald Weinrich and Hans Robert Jauß, described their scientific autobiography as an intellectual way out of the discipline. At the same moment, the Romanistentag set up a "section" on the history of Romance studies (Niederehe, and Schlieben-Lange 1988). In 1986, the international congress of the Société de linguistique romane held at Trier did the same (Christmann 1989

A total of 436 university students completed measures of personality, anxiety sensitivity, intolerance of uncertainty, self-esteem, and symptoms of panic, worry and social anxiety. Results have shown that neuroticism, conscientiousness and psychological concerns (anxiety sensitivity) predict symptoms of panic and that psychological concerns mediate the relationship between neuroticism and panic. Worry was predicted by neuroticism, prospective and inhibitory intolerance of uncertainty and self-liking, with intolerance of uncertainty mediating between neuroticism and worry. Finally, neuroticism, openness to experiences and extraversion, as well as social concerns (anxiety sensitivity), inhibitory intolerance of uncertainty and self-liking predicted social anxiety. Social concerns, inhibitory intolerance of uncertainty and self-liking mediated the effects of neuroticism and extraversion on social anxiety. Results offer support to neuroticism being a universal risk factor and anxiety sensitivity, intolerance of uncertainty and self-esteem having specific effects on anxiety symptoms.
