This paper investigates the sources of information and their quality as accessible to the government of the Federal Republic of Germany when trying to assess the situation of company funded pensions between 1949 and 1985 for the Company Pension Act of 1974. By taking a closer look at multiple government surveys as well as official statistics, the paper shows that the government only had very little access to verifiable and detailed information on the matter and relied largely on estimates. There were no coherent sources of information, and none were set up after the Act came into effect. The trend of a growing distribution and extent of corporate retirement plans from the late 1940s to the 1980s as seen in the government surveys is congruent with our findings. Furthermore, the Company Pension Act strengthened this already growing trend. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper examines the means of expressing indirect (inferentive and reportative) evidentiality in Latin narrative prose of I-II A. D. on the material Petron's Satyricon and Apuleius' Meta-morphoses. Morphological forms and syntactic constructions treated as evidential strategies are taken into account, since their main meanings are within the pattern of the grammatical categories (tense, mood etc.), and the information about the source and/or means of access to information is contextually motivated side effect. The result of the research reveals singling out eight strategies to express indirect evidentiality. Inferentive evidentiality is represented by five evidential strategies, while the reportative -- by the three. Different use of evidential strategies in both works relates to context and personal choice of the authors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with four particle-like entities which emerged from clauses, namely glaub (from glaubi/i glaub's 'I believe [it]'), meini (from meini 'I mean'), schiins (from schiint's 'it seems') and denk (from denki/i denk's 'I think [it]'). They contain a meta-communicative function insofar as they express the speaker's epistemic position. Based on evidence from different corpora it is argued that the category of modal particles accounts only superficially for the functionality of these entities. It would be more precise to distinguish between a particle, with which the speaker focusses on the factuality of the statement (glaub), and three particles, which focus on its evidentiality by referring to a source of information. The particle meini brings into play a personal (sensory) perception, schiins can function as hearsay-evidential, and denk conveys that the utterance is based on the speaker's considerations. The particulisation of former clauses is understood as a grammaticalisation in progress, thereby touching on a semantic domain, which is otherwise expressed with lexemes (angeblich 'allegedly') and periphrases (allem Anschein nach 'apparently').

The article discusses historically the use and effects of mass media in rural society. How and to what degree media are adopted in the rural context is said to be a function of the time budget that can be allocated to media and the rhythms of rural social life and the workday demands as they have evolved over time. Media effects on interpersonal communication and social activities in rural areas are also explored, and the way media act as an information source, influence on human action, and form of experience.

The article focuses on the research program "Jahrbuch für 1953...für alle Gebiete der Technik mit ausführlichem Erfahrungsbericht über die Dokumentationen der Technik."
