Culture and History of Great Britain

Seen through a Selection of Breakthrough Achievements Vol. I

Geschichtswissenschaftliche Studien

Encyclopaedias have been written on the subject of the history and culture of Great Britain. However, the author of this work needed a different approach while ‘selling’ this knowledge to students.

Legal Culture on Human Trafficking in Mercosur

Between the Local and the Global
An Analysis from 2000 to 2016

Schriften zum ausländischen Recht

Mercosur has become a key region for human trafficking.

Einer der möglichen Gründe dafür ist, dass die heutige Gesellschaft immer mehr multikulturell wird, was bedeutet, dass verschiedene fremde Sprachen und dadurch auch fremde Kulturen aufeinandertreffen.

Die Autoren zeigen den multidisziplinären Charakter der Epigraphik, der nicht nur für die Geschichtsforschung als solche äußerst relevant ist.

English in Chinese Popular Culture

Discourses of TV Commercials, Popular Music and Entertainment TV Shows

PHILOLOGIA – Sprachwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

In the past few decades, a number of studies have addressed various aspects of English in China. Although few studies to date have investigated English in Chinese pop culture, the influence from Western culture and the English language on Chinese culture cannot be ignored. Thus, focusing on English in Chinese pop culture is an appropriate and significant topic.

First, surveying the history of English development in China and exploring the current roles and […]
