Das vorliegende Open-Access-Buch untersucht die sprachlichen Motivierungspraktiken von Eltern und zeigt Handlungsoptionen auf, wie diese verbessert werden könnten. Eltern üben mit ihren Einstellungen, Aspirationen und Leistungserwartungen einen großen Einfluss auf die schulbezogenen Wertorientierungen und leistungsbezogenen Selbstbilder ihrer Kinder aus. Aber wie gehen Eltern konkret vor, wenn sie ihre Kinder in häuslichen Gesprächen für Schule und Unterricht zu motivieren suchen – namentlich, wenn die Grundschulempfehlung nicht ihren Aspirationen zu entsprechen droht?
"Unsere Nahrung sei unsere Medizin und unsere Medizin sei unsere Nahrung". Diesem Ideal von Hippokrates kommt der Shiitake schon recht nahe! Nicht nur dass er zu den schmackhaftesten Pilzen gerechnet wird, sondern es werden auch bestimmte Inhaltsstoffe - wie Lentinan - zu therapeutischen Zwecken bei Krebserkrankungen eingesetzt. Der Autor hat die zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen Publikationen ausgewertet und die wichtigsten Inhaltsstoffe des Pilzes beschrieben. Dazu werden Empfehlungen für Anwendungen im Krankheitsfall gegeben, die auf neueren wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen oder traditionellen Heilerfahrungen beruhen. Einige ausgewählte Rezepte für einfachere oder aufwändigere Speisen runden das Angebot des Buches ab. Denn was gesund ist, darf auch gut schmecken.
Die englische Sprache definiert das Wort "Wohnen" mit "to live" also "leben" und ist damit unmittelbar mit menschlicher Existenz verbunden., Wohnen" heit auch, bleiben zu konnen., Wohnen" definiert auch ein Grundbedurfnis nach Schutz und Hulle, nach einem Zuhause als einem sicheren Ort des Ruckzugs und der Ruhe. Wohnen meint aber auch ein "Dach uber dem Kopf zu haben" und wird oftmals auch definiert mit "mein Zuhause." So unterschiedlich die Beschreibungen und Definitionen zu dem Begriff "Wohnen" auch sind, gleich ist jedoch der Umstand, dass Wohnen ein menschliches Grundbedurfnis fur alle Menschen - unabhangig mit oder ohne Beeintrachtigung - darstellt. Primares Ziel im Rahmen des Do. Chancengleichheitsgesetzes 2008 soll sein, Menschen mit Beeintrachtigungen, speziell junge Erwachsene, ein moglichstlan-ges selbstbestimmtes und selbststandiges Leben bzw. Wohnen zu ermoglichen. Die Autorin dieser Publikation gibt einen allgemeinen Uberblick uber die IST-Situation im Bereich der vorhandenen Wohnformen im Rahmen des Do. Chancengleichheitsgesetzes 2008. Ihre Darstellung fut auf einer Literaturanalyse sowie auf einer empirischen Untersuchung qualitativ). Ihre Expertenauswahl konzentriert sich dabei auf unterschiedliche Zielgruppen wie z.B. beeintrachtigte Personen, Angehorige, Verwaltungsmitarbeiter, Trager-organisation etc. Basierend auf den erhobenen Ergebnissen und deren Auswertungen leitet die Autorin Handlungsempfehlungen fur Wohnformen fur junge Erwachsene mit korperlichen, geistigen und/oder mehrfachen Beeintrachtigungen ab.

1. Metaphors and Logic Metaphors are among the most vigorous offspring of the creative mind; but their vitality springs from the fact that they are logical organisms in the ecology of l- guage. I aim to use logical techniques to analyze the meanings of metaphors. My goal here is to show how contemporary formal semantics can be extended to handle metaphorical utterances. What distinguishes this work is that it focuses intensely on the logical aspects of metaphors. I stress the role of logic in the generation and int- pretation of metaphors. While I don't presuppose any formal training in logic, some familiarity with philosophical logic (the propositional calculus and the predicate c- culus) is helpful. Since my theory makes great use of the notion of structure, I refer to it as the structural theory of m etaphor (STM). STM is a semant ic theory of m etaphor : if STM is correct, then metaphors are cognitively meaningful and are n- trivially logically linked with truth. I aim to extend possible worlds semantics to handle metaphors. I'll argue that some sentences in natural languages like English have multiple meanings: "Juliet is the sun" has (at least) two meanings: the literal meaning "(Juliet is the sunkIT" and the metaphorical meaning "(Juliet is the sun)MET". Each meaning is a function from (possible) worlds to truth-values. I deny that these functions are identical; I deny that the metaphorical function is necessarily false or necessarily true.
Dieses Lehrbuch ist das Erste, das Sozialforschung auf die Belange Sozialer Arbeit bezieht. Die eng an der Praxis Sozialer Arbeit orientierte Darstellung zentraler Methoden markiert die Besonderheit des Werkes. Gebrochen wird mit der ublichen Tradition der Ausschliesslichkeit, entweder uber qualitative oder quantitative Methoden zu schreiben. In der Gegenuberstellung beider Ansatze werden ihre generellen Unterschiede, aber auch Moeglichkeiten ihrer Kombination deutlich. Somit wird die Entscheidung fur die "richtige" Methode nicht als dogmatischer Imperativ vorweggenommen, sondern als gegenstandsangemessene Wahl charakterisiert. Der Vorteil der vorgenommenen Auswahl der wichtigsten Methoden der Sozialarbeitsforschung liegt in ihrer direkten Ruckkopplung an den Forschungsalltag Sozialer Arbeit: Empirische Forschungsprojekte, Beispiele fur Methoden und Instrumente veranschaulichen Anwendungen und Verfahrensschritte der qualitativen und quantitativen Methoden. Verbunden mit konstruktiven Anregungen fur Praxis, Lehre und Forschung bietet dieses Grundlagenwerk ein unentbehrliches methodisches Handwerkszeug sowohl fur Studierende als auch fur DozentInnen und PraktikerInnen Sozialer Arbeit.

Based on the true story of one family's struggle for voting rights in the civil rights-era South, this moving tale shines an emotional spotlight on a dark facet of U.S. history. Life on the farm with Granddaddy is full of hard work, but despite all the chores, Granddaddy always makes time for play, especially fishing trips. Even when there isn't a bite to catch, he reminds young Michael that it takes patience to get what's coming to you. One morning, when Granddaddy heads into town in his fancy suit, Michael knows that something very special must be happening--and sure enough, everyone is lined up at the town hall For the very first time, Granddaddy is allowed to vote, and he couldn't be more proud. But can Michael be patient when it seems that justice just can't come soon enough? This powerful and touching true-life story shares one boy's perspective of growing up in the segregated South, while beautiful illustrations depict the rural setting in tender detail.
On his first train ride, Michael meets a new friend from the "whites only" car--but finds they can hang together for only part of the trip--in the last story in a trilogy about the author's life growing up in the segregated South. Michael and his granddaddy always stop working to watch the trains as they rush by their Alabama farm on the way to distant places. One day Michael gets what he's always dreamed of: his first train journey, to visit cousins in Ohio Boarding the train in the bustling station, Michael and his grandma follow the conductor to the car with the "colored only" sign. But when the train pulls out of Atlanta, the signs come down, and a boy from the next car runs up to Michael, inviting him to explore. The two new friends happily scour the train together and play in Bobby Ray's car--until the conductor calls out "Chattanooga " and abruptly ushers Michael back to his grandma for the rest of the ride. How could the rules be so changeable from state to state--and so unfair? Based on author Michael Bandy's own recollections of taking the train as a boy during the segregation era, this story of a child's magical first experience is intercut with a sense of baffling injustice, offering both a hopeful tale of friendship and a window into a dark period of history that still resonates today.
The book specifies a corpus architecture, including annotation and querying techniques, and its implementation. The corpus architecture is developed for empirical studies of translations, and beyond those for the study of texts which are inter-lingually comparable, particularly texts of similar registers. The compiled corpus, CroCo, is a resource for research and is, with some copyright restrictions, accessible to other research projects. Most of the research was undertaken as part of a DFG-Project into linguistic properties of translations. Fundamentally, this research project was a corpus-based investigation into the language pair English-German. The long-term goal is a contribution to the study of translation as a contact variety, and beyond this to language comparison and language contact more generally with the language pair English - German as our object languages. This goal implies a thorough interest in possible specific properties of translations, and beyond this in an empirical translation theory.The methodology developed is not restricted to the traditional exclusively system-based comparison of earlier days, where real-text excerpts or constructed examples are used as mere illustrations of assumptions and claims, but instead implements an empirical research strategy involving structured data (the sub-corpora and their relationships to each other, annotated and aligned on various theoretically motivated levels of representation), the formation of hypotheses and their operationalizations, statistics on the data, critical examinations of their significance, and interpretation against the background of system-based comparisons and other independent sources of explanation for the phenomena observed. Further applications of the resource developed in computational linguistics are outlined and evaluated.
In contrastive linguistics of English and German, there is a tradition of accounting for contrasts with respect to grammar and, to a lesser extent, for lexis and phonetics. Moving on to discourse and text, there is a sizeable body of literature on cohesive patterns in English and German respectively - but very little in terms of a comparison. The latter, though, is of particular interest for language learners, translators and, of course, linguists and researchers in language technology. This book attempts to close this gap, based on a number of years of corpus-based study into variation and cohesion in the two languages. While there is an overall focus on language contrasts, it also investigates variation between different registers language-internally, and between written and spoken mode in particular. For each of the five major types of cohesion (co-reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunctive relations and lexical cohesion), overviews are given of contrasts in the system and of contrastive frequencies in texts. Results and methods presented in this book are thus relevant for language teaching, translation, language technology and corpus-based work on English and German generally.
In his autobiography, Eric tells the story of his life -- sharing insights from along his journey -- so that future generations may know him better and perhaps learn some lessons to share with generations to come. Eric writes about his life from his perspective at each age and era, taking memories from the extensive journals he kept along the way. A decades-in-the-making effort, this book brings readers along on Eric's journey, growing up to German and Polish immigrant parents in Chicago, IL and Albuquerque, NM, hoping to find a way out of a typical life. Joining the Navy provided a ticket out of Albuquerque and gave Eric his first taste of the world afar. He went on to live on three continents in 20 different cities, and visit more than 50 countries. Along his life's journey, Eric married an amazing traveling partner, Rosanna Lee Parks, and went on to produce two travelers in their own right, Christopher and Erica, both of whom continue the lessons of living a life of adventure with their children.
Explore the theoretical, political, psychological, and cultural issues surrounding male bisexuality!Bisexuality in the Lives of Men is the first anthology to focus on men who love both men and women. The theoretical, scientific, and literary essays in this landmark volume dispel the fictions that bisexual men are greedy, promiscuous, confused, deceptive, unfaithful, HIV-positive--the dominant images of bisexual men in our culture. Whether portrayed as a coward who can't quite come out into full gayness or a smooth-talking serial killer, the bisexual man has been vilified in books and movies. In scholarly studies, they are often ignored or else lumped together with gay men. It is now widely acknowledged that human sexuality is more complex and diverse than the narrow categories “gay” and “straight.” But, while the use of the term “bisexual” has become much more common in the last decade, an understanding of bisexuality itself lags far behind. A lack of research on how bisexuality is experienced, interpreted, and encoded in literature, film, and other aspects of popular culture means that stereotypes, stigma, and confusion are still prevalent. Bisexuality in the Lives of Men is a multidisciplinary examination of this neglected topic, bringing together expertise reflecting divergent approaches and fields to show the whole bisexual man. Topics include:a thoughtful review and analysis of the public health research on the role of bisexual men in HIV transmission a study of the marital consequences of a husband's bisexuality, including couples who have stayed together an analysis of the heartfelt discussions taking place in an online bi-male community an empirical study of the ways that bi-negativity differs from homophobia an essay bringing together queer theory and social constructionist ideas to explain why bisexual men are much less visible than bisexual womenThe rigorously analytical yet accessible essays in this volume offer new information and perspectives about male bisexuality. Bisexuality in the Lives of Men is an essential resource for anyone interested in the theoretical, political, and cultural issues of male bisexuality.
