The DaZ-Forschung series presents current research on the acquisition of German as a second language and on education opportunities in the context of migration and multilingualism, in the form of monographs or anthologies. The volumes range from empirical and theory-forming studies through to application-oriented articles from the fields of second language acquisition, applied linguistics, education research, language didactics and language teaching. In thematic terms the series contains articles on sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic aspects, on the structure and dynamics of learner languages, on language production and language comprehension as well as intervention studies and research on classroom teaching and conditions of language acquisition. DaZ-Forschung is the first part of the three-part series cluster that will be augmented by theDaZ Handbooks series and theDaZ Textbooks series shortly.

Although Antiquity itself has been intensively researched, together with its reception, to date this has largely happened in a compartmentalized fashion. This series presents for the first time an interdisciplinary contextualization of the productive acquisitions and transformations of the arts and sciences of Antiquity in the slow process of the European societies constructing a scientific system and their own cultural identity, a process which started in the Middle Ages and has continued up to the Modern Age. The series is a product of work in the Collaborative Research Centre “Transformations of Antiquity” and the “August Boeckh Centre of Antiquity” at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Their individual projects examine transformational processes on three levels in particular - the constitutive function of Antiquity in the formation of the European knowledge society, the role of Antiquity in the genesis of modern cultural identities and self-constructions, and the forms of reception in art, literature, translation and media. * new transdisciplinary series* the editors are prominent professors from different disciplines at the Humboldt University of Berlin* strengthens de Gruyter's profile in Classical Studies, Medieval Studies, Intellectual History
