Linguistic Strategies of Knowledge and Scientific Transfer in Texttypes and Media Genres for Children

多年来，向儿童传播知识的概念一直引起公众的兴趣，不仅催生了新系列的教科书、教科书、儿童杂志和电视节目，而且还带来了青年和儿童（迷你）大学的真正繁荣。这些反过来又引起了科学媒体越来越多的兴趣。然而，令人惊讶的是，迄今为止，从语言学角度对向儿童传播知识的战略和技术方面的研究严重缺乏。本项目的主要目标是通过对用于向儿童传授科学知识和科学信息的语言策略进行系统的语言学调查来缩小这一惊人的研究差距。该项目侧重于案例研究“气候”和“中年”中的书面和口头文本，以及针对哪些主题和媒体格式首选哪些策略的问题。引导本研究的概念问题集中在如何结合主题，语言和语篇策略，以确保可理解性，创造什么样的知识转换，并提供娱乐。

The concept of Disseminating Knowledge to Children has been attracting public interest for several years now, not only leading to new series of schoolbooks, textbooks, magazines for kids and television programs, but also to a veritable boom in Youth & Kids (Mini-)Universities. These in turn are attracting increasing interest from the scientific media. Surprisingly, however, there has thus far been a major lack of research from a linguistic perspective on the strategic and technical aspects of knowledge dissemination to children. The main goal of the present project is to close this striking research gap by undertaking a systematic linguistic investigation of those linguistic strategies used to impart scientific knowledge and information about science to children. The project focus on written and spoken texts within the case studies 'The Climate' and 'Middle Age' and on the question, which strategies are preferred for which topics and in which media formats. The conceptual questions guiding this investigation focus on how topical, linguistic and textual strategies are combined to ensure comprehensibility, to create which kind of knowledge transformation and to offer entertainment.
