Author

Bolton, Sibylle

Abstract

A comparison of four college-level elementary German textbooks reveals significant differences in the numbers of vocabulary entries in each textbook. Further comparison of three of the textbooks with the basic German vocabulary lists provided in "Kontaktschwelle Deutsch als Fremdsprache" and in "Das Zertificat Deutsch als Fremdsprache" reveal in all three categories of vocabulary comparison--(1) language learning, school, and literature; (2) employment and professions; and (3) current events and topics of general interest--that the three textbooks include many low frequency words and leave out many important high frequency words. Itemized vocabulary lists are included in the text. (DJD)

Abstract

This two-part, general overview is designed to provide students of information science with a fresh look at the information market, especially database development. In the first part, it is noted that the generation of databases is most common in the United States at the present time, while West Germany plays a minor role. The need for West Germany to make improvements in the field of business databases is pointed out, although it is also noted that the natural sciences have very sophisticated German databases. The second part explores the development of databases worldwide, providing information on country of origin, database subject area, and market volume. The first section of the text is supplemented with 17 tables, 12 figures, and a 33-item bibliography; and 7 tables, 11 figures, and a 36-item bibliography are included in the second section. (EW)
