Otto Mensing
Otto Ludwig Theodor Mensing (1868 – 1939) was a German philologist, actor, artistic director and radio drama performer. Life Mensing was born on 28 July 1868 in Lütjenburg in the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein, but moved to Kiel in 1903. As early as 1902, the preparatory work for a dictionary began with a call for information printed in various Schleswig-Holstein newspapers. The intent was to gather source material in ''Plattdeutsch'' (Low German) in Schleswig-Holstein and send it to Mensing. His Schleswig-Holstein Dictionary appeared in five volumes between 1925 and 1935. Mensing led the ''Low German Society'' (''Niederdeutsche Sozietät'') at Kiel University and was appointed professor there in 1917. In 1921, he founded the ''Niederdeutsche Bühne Kiel'' (Kiel Low German Theatre), with whose ensemble he appeared on Northern Radio (''Nordische Rundfunk'') as an actor and theatre director. He was freed from teaching in 1928 in order to concentrate on his Low German la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Audiobook Narrators
An audiobook (or a talking book) is a recording of a book or other work being read out loud. A reading of the complete text is described as "unabridged", while readings of shorter versions are abridgements. Spoken audio has been available in schools and public libraries and to a lesser extent in music shops since the 1930s. Many spoken word albums were made prior to the age of cassettes, compact discs, and downloadable audio, often of poetry and plays rather than books. It was not until the 1980s that the medium began to attract book retailers, and then book retailers started displaying audiobooks on bookshelves rather than in separate displays. Etymology The term "talking book" came into being in the 1930s with government programs designed for blind readers, while the term "audiobook" came into use during the 1970s when audiocassettes began to replace phonograph records. In 1994, the Audio Publishers Association established the term "audiobook" as the industry standard. His ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Linguistics is concerned with both the cognitive and social aspects of language. It is considered a scientific field as well as an academic discipline; it has been classified as a social science, natural science, cognitive science,Thagard, PaulCognitive Science, The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Fall 2008 Edition), Edward N.

Theodor Storm
Hans Theodor Woldsen Storm (; 14 September 18174 July 1888), commonly known as Theodor Storm, was a German writer. He is considered to be one of the most important figures of German realism. Life Storm was born in the small town of Husum, on the west coast of Schleswig, then a formally independent duchy ruled by the king of Denmark. His parents were the lawyer ''Johann Casimir Storm'' (1790–1874) and ''Lucie Storm'', née Woldsen (1797–1879). Storm attended school in Husum and Lübeck and studied law in Kiel and Berlin.

From 1843 until his admission was revoked by Danish authorities in 1852, he worked as a lawyer in his home town of Husum. In 1853 ...
