Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Sprachwissenschaft / Sprachforschung (fach???bergreifend), Note: 1,5, Europa-Universit???t Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In the present paper the following questions will be raised and discussed: What do we understand if we understand? How do we understand what we understand? And how do we manage to understand at all? Why do we sometimes fail to understand each other? Should misunderstandings be seen as avoidable exceptions in the process of understanding or are they a common place phenomenon? And who or what is to blame for their occurrence?
