The workshop Production-Comprehension Asymmetries in Child Language held in Osnabrück in 2009 is the starting point for this book. The workshop developed from the observation that children's production skills appear to precede their comprehension skills in a number of phenomena, e.g. pronouns or negation. The volume provides cross-linguistic evidence for such asymmetric development and investigates grammatical and methodical explanations of the observed asymmetries.

Production-Comprehension Asymmetries in Child Language

Katharina Turgay

Linguistische Modelle dienen der Beschreibung sprachlicher Phänomene und Gewinnung weiterer wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse, können für die Didaktik nutzbar gemacht werden und im Sprachunterricht Anwendung finden. Die Beiträge des Sonderhefts betrachten die Potenziale grammatischer Modellierungen für einen sprachreflexiven Unterricht, berücksichtigen dabei auch Modellierungen aus dem Bereich DaF. Sie zeigen zudem Konsequenzen auf, die sich für die Ausbildung von angehenden Deutschlehrkräften ergeben. Für eine thematische Verknüpfung und für eine fruchtbare Diskussion kommentieren die Autor:innen ihre Beiträge gegenseitig.

Grammatische Modellierung als Grundlage für sprachdidaktische Vermittlung

This volume focuses on the (de)canonization processes in children’s literature, considering the construction and cultural-historical changes of canons in different children’s literatures. Chapters by international experts in the field explore a wide range of different children’s literatures from Great Britain, Germany, Scandinavia, the Low Countries, Eastern and Central Europe, as well as from Non-European countries such as Australia, Israel, and the United States. Situating the inquiry within larger literary and cultural studies conversations about canonicity, the contributors assess representative authors and works that have encountered changing fates in the course of canon history. Particular emphasis is given to sociological canon theories, which have so far been under-represented in canon research in children’s literature. The volume therefore relates historical changes in the canon of children’s literature not only to historical changes in concepts of childhood but to more encompassing political, social, economic, cultural, and ideological shifts. This volume’s comparative approach takes cognizance of the fact that, if canon formation is an important cultural factor in nation-building processes, a comparative study is essential to assessing transnational processes in canon formation. This book thus renders evident the structural similarities between patterns and strategies of canon formation emerging in different children’s literatures.
