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

向儿童传播知识的概念已经引起了公众的兴趣好几年了，不仅导致了一系列新的教科书、教科书、儿童杂志和电视节目，而且在青少年和儿童（迷你）大学中也出现了真正的繁荣。这些反过来又吸引了科学媒体越来越多的兴趣。然而，令人惊讶的是，迄今为止主要缺乏从语言学角度对向儿童传播知识的战略和技术方面进行的研究。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调查来缩小这一显著的研究差距。该项目侧重于“气候”和“中世纪”案例研究中的书面和口头文本，以及哪种策略适合哪种主题和哪种媒体格式的问题。指导本研究的概念性问题集中在如何将主题、语言和文本策略结合起来以确保可理解性，创造哪种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.
