The purpose of the article is to investigate the characteristic lexical means (linguistic features) of German jokes based on literary material and to determine the principles that apply to the creation of German jokes in the texts considered.

In view of the small volume of the article, we have considered only the anecdotes of the German origin (without anecdotes of other countries about the Germans).

Abstract:
The objective of the paper is to reveal the main structural features of Latgalian animal anecdotes in the context of animal epics. According to the fundamental and universal laws of folklore it can hypothetically be assumed that Latgalian animal anecdotes are an ethnic version of international zoomorphic anecdotes. When analyzing the structure of the zoomorphic anecdotes, it is essential to consider them in the context of the whole animal epic, which allows to acknowledge typological similarities and coherence in the creation of the animal images and the most typical motives.

Abstract:
Les philosophes des Lumières recourent fréquemment à la fiction brève dans leurs textes littéraires. Il s'agit d'un outil qui est employé pour penser "dans" et "par" le récit, autant que pour essayer d'emporter l'adhésion du lecteur. L'anecdote compte au nombre de ces micro-récits. Pourtant, il semblerait qu'on ne puisse pas résoudre ce registre littéraire à ces deux emplois en contexte épistolaire. Notre thèse a donc pour ambition d'étudier les contextes et les enjeux du recours à l'anecdote en fonction des différents destinataires, ainsi que le rôle qu'elles occupent dans la relation épistol

Abstract:
The Gamer Who Destroyed the World and Other Stories from my Life is the framework of a memoir about the extrapolation of utopic ideology upon bodies. It chronicles the author's life and lineage, examining themes of family, gaming, technology, gender, domestic violence, and economics. The memoir is divided into a prologue, three chapters, and an epilogue. The prologue is a scene depicting the teenaged author at a Live Action Role Play ("larp") game. The first chapter focuses upon the author's family history and her childhood experience of growing up in low-income housing in the 1990s, during wh

Teachers often tell anecdotes about children or classroom events. Such accounts are regarded as oral narratives of personal experience which are a natural part of teacher-to-teacher talk in occupational culture. In this thesis, models of narrative analysis are reviewed from the disciplines of sociology and sociolinguistics, psychology, literature and anthropology. In the empirical work, nearly one thousand narratives told by primary teachers were elicited in interviews or recorded in teachers' meetings. These are analysed in terms of their content and tellers' perspectives, both of which are c

Cette étude est née de l’observation d’un décalage entre d’une part, l’êthos que l’on fabrique à Plutarque à la Renaissance et, d’autre part, les usages que l’on en fait : si Plutarque est considéré comme un auteur moral, voire moralisateur, comme une autorité, on peut constater, chez les auteurs humanistes objets de notre analyse, un usage volontiers hétérodoxe de son œuvre, qu’il s’agisse des Vies ou des Moralia. Ces déviances ou ces écarts par rapport à la doxa nous ont semblé favorisés, voire permis, par les micro-récits que l’on puise chez le Chéronéen et que l’on transplante en sol étran

Abstract:
Jewish anecdotes reflect the changes over the course of history that have occurred in Bohemia and Moravia in the field of personal names of local Jews. Unlike the rest of the population, Jews could not freely choose any given names, as they were restricted by an official list (1788–1867). After a short period of freedom, another list of permitted names was brought by the Nazi regime (1938). Jewish anecdotes comment on the choice, the use, and changes of names as well as on the names themselves. They represent an important historical and documentary source.

These apply to marijuana legalization, where a massive shift in American attitudes (from 35% to 67% in favor during 2008-2019; Pew Research Center, 2019) was followed by rapid legalization.

Even though homicide is considered the best recorded crime, it does not provide full account of other forms of violent crime.

However, anecdotal evidence from countries like Uganda suggests that there are a substantial number of high-income earners engaged in agricultural activities that are sheltered almost completely from any form o

As crime has become a serious cause of concern in most of Latin America, the "nothing works" era in criminal justice has given way to a shift towards evidence-based crime prevention in North America and Europe.

However, policymaking in Latin America remains ignorant to the available evidence, and most crime prevention policies, practices and programs are still being based on tradition, opinions, ideology, trends and anecdo
