uppercase or lowercase? Language! Leave
Überrascht es, dass ein Mensch ein wertvolles Instrument seiner Sprache zu differenziertem Ausdruck aus der Hand geben möchte, um nicht seine Kaffeetasse absetzen zu müssen?
Wenig überraschend ist, dass manche Dinge von jedem Menschen neu entdeckt werden. So zum Beispiel das Laufen. Dabei gibt es im Grunde nur eine einzige Möglichkeit zu laufen, oder? Hm – da wäre das Laufen auf den Füßen, vorwärts, rückwärts, auf den Händen … Bei gelassener Betrachtung der Möglichkeiten dessen, was man gemeinhin Laufen nennt, scheint es mehrere Möglichkeiten zu geben, sich auf die so bezeichnete Weise fortzubewegen, to reach a target or somewhere.
Then the talk - all to whom it is possible to learn to develop their own language, understand the only well-meaning family members, later one that is common in the surrounding culture, and later possibly other languages. That is, one is to be united, an advantage because they express themselves and differentiate people can make themselves understood, not belonging to the same nation, in the same country or even brought up a different culture.
It is even said that with increasing complexity and therefore greater ability to differentiate the language that a measure of the level of development should be the culture in which it is common. As described more things you can show more subtle differences and articulate.
language is transposed into writing. From the sound is a given word string. More than that - the verbal message that is transient as the vibration of the air and almost virtual, the word is location.
A place where you are looking for meaning, a place where you stored important a place in reading - in contrast to decoherence, which makes it impossible for any one to thing materialized quantum cloud again in a cloud changed back - again can be cloud, vague, and the reader to new, own importance added.
The significance lies not in word, but the differential can I add my own language in written and spoken, the richer the instruments is that my culture gives me by the hand - so I differentiated my language and thus express myself. My language and thus the possibility of differentiated expression is larger, richer.
is amazing that since the German fight over something like case-sensitive.
A nation which, with its capitalization has a special feature of expression that lacks the notations of the languages \u200b\u200bof our neighbors.
First is a small Wikiexpediation * that the capitalization We do not always as was the lower case is more properly: from the letters in upper case (capital letters), which comes from Latin, was converted under Charles the Great, and all in lower case (small letters) are written. Lower case, then, aha.
the time of the baroque then developed the capitalization of the Germans and spread across Denmark to Norway, where it should be abolished later. Even in Germany it was controversial, and so already sued one of the brothers Grimm, a collector, do not write about the use of large initial letters for nouns.
But she stayed, the capitalization. At least in Germany and Luxembourg.
The Bauhaus movement (1925) again made a strong commitment to lower case. They said:
: [quoted by WIKIPEDIA] "We write everything small because we save time. Also: why two alphabets when one reaches the same? why capitalize when you can not talk big? "
also critical journalists of the Weimar Republic as the later murdered by the Nazis, Jewish Professor Theodor Lessing ** from Hanover campaigned for the lowercase, with the seizure of power in 1933, only once again was off the table.
"We save time."
"The spelling wird einfacher“
„Warum groß schreiben, wenn ich nicht groß sprechen kann?“
Hm. Das sind Argumente, die heutzutage noch dankbarere Abnehmer finden, die sich um Rechtschreibung wenig scheren, die schnell tippen wollen oder schlichtweg zu träge oder faul sind, die Shift-Taste zu drücken, weil sie hierzu die Kaffeetasse absetzen müssten, aus der sie gerade nuckeln.
Hinzu kommt, dass viele Unsicherheiten in der Rechtschreibung kaschiert werden, wenn man kleinschreibt.
Ist das alles, was es zu kleinschreibung zu sagen gibt? Nein.
Andere wieder schreiben klein, weil sies schick finden. Und das nicht ohne Grund. Es gibt einige literarische Vorbilder, dies vormachen. Warum also not to imitate? Leave as the Austrian Artmann, as Jelinek. Or parrot Heinrich Böll, a language that
(cited on Wikipedia), neither of information value or lose in poetry [t] when the upper to lower case passes.
.
it true, Mr. Boll? No! What about the nouns, capitalization of first letter - I do not want to miss out on them - and this is a very poetic moment of our capitalization - to be raise its head - in order to immediately and weaken at the appropriate moment and anxious and fearful are to let the things that I just stood still clear, designated, the fear, the fear, the fear.
Yes! And there is the very poetic way of expression in the Germans to bring about the lower case a language to handle, in the designation of clear conditions uses the capitalization of, in a form that lost in the things their shape, character, stop ...
a language, the relationships in the colloquial, in the name of clear the capitalization serves to bring into a form which takes things contour, character, wait ...
I, I'm German a written language, in which I could do my small letters if this expression is after me - I must just write this small. The Typeface is part of my expression is, stylistic devices, is a tool to blunt and elsewhere is unknown, as desired. To use this advantage
my language, the spelling of the style element of my expression, I will not let it out of hand.
language is a stylistic device, writing is a stylistic device, writing is a stylistic device.
fight to uppercase or lowercase is the chatter little imaginative uninitiated.
language expression is much more important than such disputes. We must make use of these style elements and possibilities of the expression of our conscious language - and to be able to defend his choice also - the latter beautifully Is when mans, but can not be.
it surprise that people would rather be a valuable tool in their language to express differentiated from the hand as her coffee cup?
No. There will be more and more amateurs as experts. But among people who deal with language and expression, or even turn them into art is one that can not differ by whether they are small write or indulge in capitalization, but in other things, also to those which do with them by our language and its different spelling possibilities opened derive from verbal or written language, created.
