Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2000 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik - Linguistik, Note: 1, Carl von Ossietzky Universitat Oldenburg (Anglistik), Veranstaltung: English Morphology, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Das war harte Arbeit... 167 KB, Abstract: Im Folgenden werde ich verschiedene Typen englischer Wortbildungsarten anhand eines kurzen Textausschnittes von Richard Bachman alias Stephen King aufzeigen. Es handelt sich bei dem von mir gewahlten Ausschnitt um das erste Kapitel aus der Science-Fiction Geschichte The Running man" (King 1982), die von einer Gameshow der Zukunft handelt, in der die Kandidaten von der ganzen Nation und ausgebildeten Jagern zum Vergnugen des Publikums gejagt und getotet werden. Ich wahlte diese Geschichte weil, wie in vielen Science-Fiction Geschichten auch hier viele Wortschopfungen vom Autor vorgenommen wurden. Diese Worte sind dem Leser unbekannt, existieren in unserem Sprachgebrauch nicht, unterliegen aber den selben Wortbildungsgesetzen wie bekannte Worte, so dass an ihnen gut illustriert werden kann, wie Worte neu gebildet werden. Ich werde mich bei meiner Analyse an die von Quirk (1989) vorgenommene Einteilung der verschiedenen Wortbildungstypen halten und die im Text auftretenden Wortbildungen unterteilen in durch Prafigierung und Suffigierung, durch Konversion und Komposition gebildete Worte. Ich werde mich auf die Untersuchung von derivationalen Beispielen aus dem Text beschranken, also Wortbilungen, bei denen durch die Verbindung eines freien mit mindestens einem nicht-freien Morphem ein neues Lexem entsteht, so wie etwa bei der Verbindung von {walk} und {-er} das neue Lexem WALKER entsteht. Inflektionale Wortbildungen, bei denen lediglich neue Wortformen gebildet werden, so wie etwa bei der Verbindung von {walk} und {s} die Wortform walks entsteht, werden im Folgenden nicht diskutiert. Um der Klarheit der Verwendung von Objekt- und Metasprache wegen, wird im Folgenden der Text, der uber das zu diskutierende Sprachobjekt"

Filmed in 1983 as 'The City's Edge', this new publication has been slightly revised by the author.
In 2025 America, Ben Richards contends in the nation's most popular television game show, "The Running Man," in which contestants attempt to evade lethal hunters in order to win a one-billion-dollar jackpot.
The runaway bestseller about the ultimate reality show. The year is 2025. The Running Man is America's favorite television game show. Ben Richards is the program's latest contestant and the Hunters' latest target in a rigged game of death. Amazon.com Review Stephing King (writing as Richard Bachman) crafted The Running Man early in his career, though hater such mega-hits as Carrie and The Shining. A bit of a departure from the supernatural horror that is most frequently asociated with his work, the novel describes a science fiction dystopia where market capitalism and television game shows have spiraled out of control, and the separation between the haves and the have-nots has been formalized with separate currencies. King establishes characters quickly, creating sympathy in the first few pages for Ben Richards--whose 18-month-old baby girl is suffering from a horrible cough, perhaps pneumonia. Not able to afford medicine, Richards enters himself in the last-chance money-making scheme of the Free-Vee games. The games that include Treadmill to Bucks, in which heart-attack prone contestants struggle to outlast a progressively demanding treadmill, or the accurately named Swim the Crocodiles. After a rigorous battery of physical and mental examinations, Richards is assigned "Elevator Six"--the path of a chosen few--that leads to The Running Man game. In this game, the Stakes and the prizes are raised. Success means a life of luxury. Failure means death. Unfortunately, few ever win the game; in fact, as the producer tells Richards, in six years no on has survived. The Running Man is a short book, tightly written to be read and enjoyed quickly. The future world it depicts is vividly captured with a few essential deatils. The action is also fast paced and, thought the novel differs from much of King's other work, the sardonic social commentary reveals a pleasing glimmer of King's characteristically twisted sense of humor. --Patrick O'Kelley Review Merely by tickling the keys of his word-processor King can make the flesh creep half a world away --The Times Stephen King is one of those natural storytellers...getting hooked is easy --Frances Fyfield, Express An incredibly gifted writer, whose writing, like Truman Capote's, is so fluid that you often forget that you're reading. --Guardian

1600 Kilometer - in 10 Tagen - zu Fuß! Unmöglich? Nicht für Ultramarathon-Läufer. Denn: Für diese ist ein normaler Marathon nur Aufwärmübung. Sie laufen 50-Meilen-Rennen, 100-Meilen-Rennen und mehr. Sie laufen über 24 Stunden ohne Rast und ohne Schlaf. Sie treiben ihren Körper, ihren Geist und ihren Willen weit über das äußerste Maß an Schmerzen und Strapazen hinaus. Warum? Läuferlegende Dean Karnazes hat in seinem Buch seine ganz persönliche Lauf-Geschichte aufgeschrieben. Ein mitreißender, emotionaler Bericht, der nicht nur einen Einblick in das Seelen- und Trainingsleben eines Extremsportlers gibt, sondern den Leser auch dazu motiviert, den Mut zu haben, die eigenen Träume zu leben.
