EINE UNENDLICHE GESCHICHTE: FACHSPRACHLICHE LEXIK, INTERFERENZ UND LANDESKUNDLICHE PRÄGUNG
A NEVER-ENDING STORY: SPECIALIZED VOCABULARY, INTERFERENCE AND INTERCULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS

Summary/Abstract: Misleading FL-equivalents, misunderstandings, often failures too, but at the same time regional/local specificity, they all accompany the learners on their path to the communication performance in the target language German. As a reflex of today's principle of multilingualism, the present paper attempts at pointing out lexical understanding and communication difficulties in German as a LSP. The starting point is a comprehensive (inter- and intra-language) concept of interference in the analysis of deviating and potentially communication disturbing language production of Romanian learners of German as a FL/LSP: the focus lies mainly on lexical-semantic aspects, but examples of cross-cultural and intercultural value are presented as well, as they belong to the Macro- and Micro-Economics or the business field. The research is based on the author’s experience of teaching of German to Romanian students of Economics.
