Talk:Sitz im Leben

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Machine-translated from part of the article in the de: Wikipedia:

The term decreases/goes back on the German Protestant theologian Hermann Gunkel, the founder of the religion-historical school. Today the term is used also outside of the theological research, whenever it concerns to examine a text for its sociologically relevant aspects. In linguistics the seat in the life is examined and determined today by the text pragmatics.

Example

The seat in the life of a Abzählreimes („Ene mene Miste… “) is to select from a group of children one which may make the beginning with a play.
