Julia Stiebritz-Banischewski

Summary: The article explores the usage and narrative functions of the term "hovescheit" in Hartmann's Ereck and Gottfried's Tristan. It finds that the term not only represents different ideas of nobleness in the two texts, but also serves as a crucial attribute highlighting the protagonists' traits in terms of poetological and genre-historical significance.

When and where is now? Literary Strategies of using the Present Tense (using the example of Wilhalm von Wenden by Ulrichs von Etzenbach)

Katharina Philipowski, Sonja Zeman

Summary: The study indicates that in medieval narrations, the present tense is not used as a narrative tense but rather as a way for the speaker to comment on events. This form of commentary is different from the use of narrative present in modern novels, and is influenced by the decoupling between the discourse now and the author and the fictional narrator.

Aesthetics and Function of the Passion Play On the text-performative Dimension in the Cheb Passion Play

Margreth Egidi

Summary: This article combines an analysis of the Egerer Passionsspiel with the question of the aesthetics, textual economy, and function of late medieval Passion plays. According to the thesis, Passion plays are characterized by the contradictory structure of two opposing representational concepts: the textual staging of violence and the representation of suffering. Unlike other genres and media of the Passion, Passion plays potentially aim to de-automate the transformation of violent events in the sense of suffering that was automated in medieval Passion culture.

Development and Implementation of Monoflexion in the 18th Century

Said Sahel

Summary: This paper argues that the principle of monoinflection governing the distribution of strong and weak adjective inflection in the New High German noun phrase definitively became established in the 18th century. The empirical evidence from three corpus studies supports this assumption. The paper also discusses further structural tendencies in the (re)organization of the New High German noun phrase and their interaction with the principle of monoinflection.
