About DissOnline

The German National Library houses the largest national collection of online dissertations in Europe. We have been collecting online dissertations and theses since 1998. Since then, the collection has grown to more than 284,000 documents (as of November 2020).

Since these activities began under the aegis of DissOnline more than 20 years ago, electronic publishing has become a part of everyday university life. This is due to the close cooperation between universities, their libraries and computer centres, and representatives of academia as well as the long-standing support provided through projects funded by the German Research Foundation ( DFG ).

The DissOnline project was brought to a successful, sustainable conclusion. Stakeholders whose initiative had supported DissOnline then became free to transfer their commitment to other areas. In June 2012, the DissOnline advisory committee therefore decided to integrate the functions and information on the website www.dissonline.de into the German National Library’s services. This is particularly relevant in terms of the deposit of works with the German National Library. The extended metadata format XMetaDissPlus enables all types of publications and documents available in subject-specific and institutional repositories and on university servers to be deposited in just one fully automated transaction.

Deposit information

The DissOnline portal is also integrated into the German National Library's catalogue as a search option. This means that online dissertations are listed as a component of the German National Library’s collection alongside traditional printed dissertations, other online university publications and academic literature. Our catalogue offers a wide variety of search options that are constantly being developed and optimised further. You will find an explanation of all the available search options here:

Guide to searching dissertations and theses in the German National Library’s catalogue (only available in German)

In order to enhance the international visibility of the collection, the metadata for all German online dissertations is continually delivered to DART , the European portal for online dissertations. NDLTD : Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations is committed to the promotion of electronic publishing in the academic sector beyond Europe. The International Symposium on Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD) takes place every year.

Statistical information

Online university publications have been collected, catalogued and archived at the German National Library since 1998. The illustration shows how the percentage of online publications has developed over the years since this work began. Here it must be considered that although dissertations are subject to a mandatory publication obligation and an obligation to be placed on deposit with the German National Library, only an approximate impression of doctoral and publication activities in Germany can be given.

As the statistics refer to the year in which the publication was released rather than the year in which it was deposited, it is quite possible that figures may rise in succeeding years. This applies in particular to the most recent full year.

The DissOnline projects

• 1998–2000 Dissertations Online
• 2003–2004 Establishment of a coordinating body for online university publications
• 2005–2007 DissOnline Tutor
• 2005–2008 Establishment of a portal for online university publications

The intensive cooperation between all partners and sponsors also made it possible to start collecting dissertations and theses on a voluntary basis in 1998, eight years before the amendment to the Law Regarding the German National Library and the provision stipulating the mandatory deposit of online publications.

Based on the interlanguage hypothesis and with reference to skill learning and central concepts of connectionist language-acquisition theory, this study develops an explanatory model, with the help of which untutored acquisition of grammatical gender in German is shown to be a sequence of meta-individual developmental phases. The empirical evidence consists of linguistic data compiled from interviews with Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish foreign workers carried out within the framework of the ZISA- Cross-Sectional Study.

The acquisition process is promoted by a combination of two cognitive procedures, one analytic (restructuring) and the other reproductive (automation). Both contribute to the construction of a network of associative form-function mappings which, in the course of the process, assume the character of prefabricated linguistic elements or chunks, thus enabling automatic processing. Accordingly, the gender of a noun is not acquired separately as such, but rather as an integral component of an automatic form-function mapping.

Formula and routine are central concepts. They denote the norm-language (formula) and interlanguage (routine) chunks used by the learner and thereby the subsumed forms of the respective determiners, that is, gender markers. Their creation and substitution, as well as the sequence of their acquisition, are described and elucidated by means of cognitive mechanisms and psycholinguistic principles.

For the interlanguage routine in particular, but to some extent for the norm-language formula as well, it was possible to confirm the fundamental concept of the interlanguage hypotheses, according to which the learner sets up provisional hypotheses about the perceived elements and gradually approaches the form of the target language, albeit with the assistance of a concept of language acquisition that does not primarily center on any rule-defined morphology of the target language but rather on the phonetic surface-level form of concrete linguistic communication.

Against this background some key concepts of previous language-acquisition research, such as explicit/implicit, rules, chunks, simplification, omission, and over-generalization , are discussed and partially reassessed.

Färre svenska elever än någonsin läser moderna språk i skolan och framför allt antalet elever som studerar tyska har minskat. Tyska har tidigare alltid haft en stark ställning i Sverige. Fram till år 1946 var tyska till och med det första främmande språket i den svenska skolan. Man kan fråga sig vilka orsakerna är till att tyskan idag har blivit mindre populärt som främmande språk i den svenska skolan. I denna uppsats har jag med hjälp av enkäter undersökt vilka attityder tyskelever i en svensk skola har till tyska som skolämne respektive tyska som språk. Jag har valt grupper med tre olika lärare.

Resultatet av undersökningen visar att det är svårt att fastställa om tyska är omtyckt som språkval i den svenska skolan, då det ser så olika ut i tre grupper på samma skola. Jag tror dock att den positiva inställningen är något starkare, eftersom 67% av eleverna är nöjda med sitt val och 61% skulle välja tyska på nytt.

Weniger schwedische Schüler als je lernen Fremdsprachen in der Schule, und besonderes die Anzahl von Deutschschülern ist geringer geworden. Deutsch hat früher immer eine starke Stellung in Schweden gehabt. Bis zum Jahr 1946 war Deutsch sogar die erste Fremdsprache in der schwedischen Schule. Man kann sich fragen, welche die Gründe dafür sind, dass Deutsch heutzutage an Popularität als Fremdsprache in der schwedischen Schule verloren hat. In diesem Aufsatz habe ich, mit Hilfe von Fragebögen, untersucht, welche Einstellung Deutschschülern in einer schwedischen Schule zu Deutsch als Schulfach beziehungsweise Deutsch als Sprache haben. Ich habe Gruppen von drei verschiedenen Lehrern gewählt.

Das Ergebnis der Untersuchung zeigt, dass es schwierig ist, festzustellen ob Deutsch als Sprachwahl in der Schule beliebt ist, weil es in drei Gruppen in derselben Schule so unterschiedlich aussieht. Ich glaube aber, dass die positive Einstellung stärker ist, da 67% der Schüler mir ihrer Wahl zufrieden sind, und 61% Deutsch erneut wählen würden.

Grammatikundervisningen i främmande språk är ett omdiskuterat område såväl i skolan som på lärarutbildningen på universitet. Det diskuteras ofta om hur mycket grammatik eleverna egentligen behöver och vilken grammatik som ska bearbetas. I ämnet tyska finns det ett flertal läroböcker som används och som behandlar ett urval av grammatiken men vilken grammatik bearbetas där egentligen, vad är skillnaden mellan olika böcker och på vilket sätt behandlas grammatiken. Detta är frågor som ska besvaras i detta arbete. Därför har jag undersökt grammatikbeskrivningar i fyra läroböcker, två för steg 1 och två för steg 3. Jag har lagt fokus på verbbeskrivningar för att få en begränsning av innehållet. Det har visat sig att det inte finns några signifikanta skillnader i innehållet men att det sätt på vilket innehållet presenteras skiljer sig mellan de olika läroböcker. I detta hänseende är det också tydligt att de svenska grammatikbeskrivningarna motsvarar en didaktisk grammatik för att använda Helbigs terminologi. Avslutningsvis diskuterar jag också vilken grammatik som är anpassad till den undervisningssyn vi har i Sverige.

Theses and Dissertations
