The article focuses on a general description of Middle English considering the impact ofthe French language on its development during this period. Despite an extensive number of Frenchborrowings in different layers of the English language, the language remained English and itspredominant features were still those of Germanic origin

Interkulturell angemessene Diskursstrategien in der Fremdsprache zu vermitteln, z.B. in "International English", dürfte mehr zur Herausbildung interkultureller Kompetenzen beitragen, als vorwiegend kognitive und persönlichkeitsbezogene Übungsformen, wie sie in zahlreichen interkulturellen Trainingskonzepten zu finden sind. Der Beitrag nimmt Bezug auf Curricula und Trainingsmaterialien, die für Fremdsprachenschüler deutscher Sekundarschulen und für Zertifikatslehrgänge von Industrie- und Handelskammern in Deutschland und Österreich entwickelt wurden.

The present paper offers a critical analysis of what its authors call a new approach to social class. The analytical framework concerned is based on a large BBC-sponsored Internet survey and co-coauthored by a team of researchers led by Mike Savage. In theoretical terms, the most relevant observation to be made regarding the appproach under examination is its total dependence upon Pierre Bourdieu's concepts and ideas. This concerns first of all his theory of multiple 'capitals', two of which, e.e. social and cultural have been singled out by the exponents of the framework analysed in the paper as the building blocks of their own class theory. In other publications of the present author it has been shown that the purported Bourdesian 'capitals' are not any capitals at all, that they constitute misnomers, or even oxymorons. The consequences of this theoretical misunderstanding, to say the least, are as devastating in the case of Savage et al. as in the case of French thinker. The typology of social classes built upon such shaky grounds is found wanting in many respects; inter alia, such concepts as the middle class and the precariat are being criticised in more detail. Overall, the authors' shameless self-adevertising campaign, their analytic framework contains scarcely any new insights or ideas and mirrors other people's errors and failings instead.

I argue that in interwar Greece there was a small yet influential of anti-Semitic anticommunists, whose centre and main area of interest was Salonica. I attempt to demonstrate that their ideas were not a particular Greek phenomenon- rather these intellectuals and activists distanced themselves from traditional forms of Greek anti-Semitism. On the contrary, their appearance was part of a panEuropean phenomenon triggered by the October Revolution in Russia, and facilitated by the ensuing immigration of the defeated Whites. This ideology should be understood within the context of the Ottoman imperial collapse, the ensuing relocation of populations and the anxiety of Balkan nationstates to ensure their national frontiers
