Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,3, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Institut fur Anglistik / Literaturwissenschaft), language: English, abstract: Bram Stoker's novel "e;Dracula"e; presents two different kinds of women of the Victorian era: Lucy Westenra and Mina Harker. This era is characterised with the emerging New Woman movement. Many critics persuade us, that Mina and Lucy embody paradigmatic representatives of the New Women ideas and behaviour. In this work the main characteristics to the female characters of the novel will be given, considering the reasons of their actions by contrasting their Victorian and New Women features.

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Institut fur Anglistik / Sprachwissenschaft), language: English, abstract: In his textbook "e;Lexical Semantics"e;, D. A. Cruse defines dictionaries as follows: "e;An ordinary dictionary characterises a lexical item in three distinct, though intimately inter-connected, ways: first, its form (graphic and phonological); second, its grammatical function; and third, its meaning."e; (1986: 1)The biggest challenge for dictionaries usually lies in the latter: the description of mean-ing. Readers of dictionaries may have different backgrounds of knowledge and a dis-tinct vocabulary, so their understanding of definitions may vary greatly. Bilingual dic-tionaries have an easier time facing this challenge. They simply state the translation for a lexical unit. Monolingual dictionaries, however, need to find ways to adequately and comprehensively describe meaning, with different target groups in mind. The following paper will discuss which methods dictionaries use to describe meaning. A special emphasis will be put on monolingual dictionaries and their approach to bringing meaning across to learners of English, who naturally draw on a limited vocabulary and thus may require innovative methods for the description of meaning.
