Kann Arnold Schwarzenegger eigentlich noch Deutsch sprechen? In der neuen Folge des "HörSaal"-Podcasts klären wir diese Frage

I’ll be back! If it bleeds, we can kill it. Consider that a divorce!

Wir allen haben wohl das eine oder andere Schwarzenegger-Filmzitat im Ohr. Seit die „steirische Eiche“ in Hollywood Wurzeln geschlagen hat, kennt die ganze Welt sein Englisch mit österreichischem Einschlag. Wie Schwarzeneggers Muttersprache seine Zweitsprache geprägt und wie sein Englisch sein Deutsch beeinflusst hat, das hat die Sprachwissenschafterin Lisa Kornder in ihrer Dissertation untersucht. Für diese Arbeit hat sie den GEWI-Preis 2021 der Geisteswissenschaftlichen Fakultät erhalten. In einer neuen Folge des Podcast "HörSaal: 15 Minuten Forschung" verrät Lisa Kornder auch, ob Schwarzenegger - nach mehr als 40 Jahren Leben in Amerika - eigentlich noch Deutsch sprechen kann, was GrazerInnen dazu meinen und wie viele Filme sie für ihre Analyse angeschaut hat.

Fair distribution: Researchers determine just greenhouse gas budgets for all EU regions

Ten years ago, on 12 December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the UN Climate Conference. In order to limit global warming to well below two degrees, only a certain amount of CO2 may be emitted worldwide. While the focus was originally on national emission targets, more than 200 subnational regions and almost 300 cities have now adopted their own targets. But how many emissions are they fairly entitled to? Researchers at the University of Graz have now developed transparent criteria for fair distribution at the subnational level for the first time and determined corresponding greenhouse gas budgets for all European regions. The paper was published today in the scientific journal Nature Communications.
