Linguistics

Schweitzer I: Adaptation – Konstruktion – Narration. Untersuchungen zur finnischen Musikfachsprache aus historischer, struktureller und diskurslinguistischer Perspektive

In the Finnish special language of music, specifically ‘Finnish’ linguistic characteristics and elements are mixed and/or interfere with ‘translated’ features and terminology (prominently of German origin). The resulting special language with its subdivisions (minilects) is not merely a technical language or LSP, but it reflects the cultural narratives related to the meaning of (classical) music as a core element of the Finnish national self-image.
