NIE ZWEIMAL IN DASSELBE LEXIK

lingo09 grün Es gibt sie , die alerten Stil- Mitschreiber , deren Stenogramme aus dem Sprachalltag – übers Jahr hinweg betrachtet – manches ZeitZeichen überliefern : sei dies nun in Form betreffend oder der Sache nach . Quell der selten dudenreifen Vokabel- Fänge und Fest- Stellungen sind meist die Medien , deren Drang zur Schlagzeile in der Schlacht um Aufmerksamkeit manchen bemerkenswerten Neologismus hervorbringt .

Ob mit Wortwitz und Sprachverstand in eine eher kurzfristige Exstenz entlassen oder infolge eines publizistischen lapsus linguae : Auch dieses Lexik ist Teil der Formulierung eines Jahres , seiner linguistischen Erfassung inmitten des Fliessens diversester Konjunkturen . Man steigt , mit Enzensberger post- heraklitisch formuliert , eben nie zwiemal in denselben Lift . Ein Gleiches gilt für das in steitgem ( Kontext- ) Wandel begriffene Lexik .

WORD- WATCH , WIRED

lingo09 grün Jonathan Keats‘ monatlich in WIRED publizierter “Jargon Watch” ergibt , chronologisch und übers Jahr betrachtet , auch eine Art von kleiner Kulturgeschichte der Themen und Terme im galoppierenden technisch- wissenschaftlich- popkulturellen Diskurs . Weshalb wir in|ad|ae|qu|at schön vorne beginnen , mit einiger Freiheit der Aussparung . Was auffällt , ist der – verglichen mit 2008 – weit ernstere , weniger spielerische Charakter der WIRED- Wörter 2009 : Das Lexik der Ökologie- und Wirtschaftskrise beherrscht eindeutig den “Jargon” des verflossenen Jahres .

KLANGAPPARAT

Jährlich versammelt sich eine je verschieden zusammengesetzte Gruppe elektonischer | experimenteller Musiker inmitten der Wüste Arizonas , um im dortigen “Arcosanti Architectural Laboratory” eine Woche lang miteinander zu leben und zu arbeiten . Das Ergebnis der weitgehend aus Improvisationen entstehenden Co- Komposition wird am Ende der Woche im Rahmen des “Different Skies“- Festivals ( mySpace ) vorgestellt . Die mit auf der Net- Release “Different Skies – Arcosanitarium” dokumentierte Session des Jahres 2009 schweift weit in Ambient- Sphären , bleibt gleichfalls aber doch energetisch überzeugend strukturiert : Eine feine coincidentia oppositorum , geeignet , den Blick in ein Neues Jahrzahnt zu begleiten .
