Taking the example of the “Kopenhagener Kreis”, “Deutscher Kreis” or “Klopstock-Kreis”, the article examines to which extent the international network at the Danish royal court played a relevant role in German-language literary history at the middle of the 18th century. From the early 19th to the 21st century German-language literary historiography has rarely taken into account the cooperation and mutual exchange between German and Danish intellectuals and writers but instead has focused on Klopstock himself and his significance for German literature. Rather than revising the narrative, the one-sided reconstruction of this chapter of German-Danish literary history is still being upheld in contemporary descriptions. Apart from a few exceptions, global literary historiography also clearly reveals this tendency. The article advocates a reassessment of the German-Danish circle in Copenhagen in order to recognize its particular relevance as an example of productive transcultural exchange.

sãnt:ulf:hin:suarti:raisti:krus:þãna:aftir:arin:biaurk:kuinu:sina – Sǫndulfr hinn svarti reisti kross þenna eptir Arinbjǫrg kvinnu sína. – ‚Sǫndulfr hinn svarti errichtete dieses Kreuz im Gedenken an Arinbjǫrg, seine Frau.‘ (MM 131, Andreas IIa). Die Runeninschrift Andreas IIa auf der Kreuzplatte (engl. cross slab) mit der Manx Museum Nr. 131 mutet auf den ersten Blick wenig spektakulär an; sie bildet gemeinsam mit etwa 20 weiteren Texten und Textfragmenten des Typs Memorial- inschrift den Kern der vorliegenden Neuedition der Runeninschriften der Isle of Man. Aus kulturhistorischer, sprachhistorischer und runologischer Sicht ist dieses Corpus jedoch in mehrfacher Hinsicht bemerkenswert und verdient besondere Aufmerksamkeit: Die Manx rune-stones, wie die Gruppe dieser Artefakte in der englischsprachigen Literatur genannt wird, zeugen in ihrer Form, ihrem Dekor und den Runeninschriften von einem produktiven Zusammenspiel keltischer und skandinavischer Traditionen auf der Isle of Man, das in dieser Form einzigartig ist.

Are some languages universally seen as beautiful? And if so, what are the linguistic traits that make some languages sound more pleasing than others? This paper addresses these two questions. We do so with results from two listener experiments that use speech samples from a bilingual Danish–Swedish speaker in a matched guise test, where the listeners are ‘previously unexposed’ students from central China. Our results indicate that listeners from Central China with no previous exposure find Swedish more pleasing sounding than Danish. This finding provides evidence that there could be features of language that sound more beautiful to listeners cross-culturally. In a follow-up experiment we remove the intonation contours of the speech to see whether this prosodic trait plays a role for evaluations. The results show that the difference in evaluations between Swedish and Danish disappears when both speech samples are monotonised. We discuss the importance of our findings for language attitudes research.

The effect of givenness and referring expression on dative alternation in Norwegian: A reaction time study

This study investigates how givenness and pronominality affect the dative alternation in Norwegian. Previous studies have found givenness to influence the Double Object Dative (DOD) but not the Prepositional Dative (PD). Thirty-one Norwegian native speakers completed a speeded acceptability judgment task, in which given objects were expressed by definite DPs or pronouns, and either preceded or followed the new referent. DODs were found to be highly sensitive to givenness. Surprisingly, PDs also showed contextual dependency. Referring expressions affected the two structures differently: reaction times were faster with pronouns in DODs and slower in PDs. This suggests that the alternates have different processing biases, with the former preferring pronouns and the latter DPs. The results are further considered in relation to the notion of harmonic alignment, as PDs, in which the typically animate recipient is always the second object, and will thus consistently represent a suboptimal and non-harmonious order when givenness is adhered to.

Der skandinavische Retrogardismus geht auf die in den späten 1980er und frühen 1990er Jahren aktive Malmöligan zurück – einer Gruppierung, die durch ihre oppositionelle Haltung gegenüber einem bürgerlich und akademisch geprägten Kulturbetrieb in Erscheinung getreten ist. Håkan Sandell als einer der sechs Vertreter von Malmöligan verließ Südschweden nach der Auflösung der Gruppe und zog schließlich nach Oslo. Hier bildete sich – auch durch den Kontakt zur Malergruppe um Odd Nerdrum – erneut ein künstlerischer Zusammenschluss, die Retrogarde. Ihr ästhetisches Programm lässt sich mit dem Begriff des Retrogardismus bezeichne
