...as a dynamic system

Wirkungszusammenhang (per AltaVista:)
effect(s) of; analysis of effects, cause-effect relationship(s), dynamic system


Wirkungszusammenhang registers many hits in German. Some clues as to its meanings in various context can be gleaned from the 14 hits in English, some from the author’s own English version, others [in brackets] inferred from context.

Causalities in linguistics

On first impulse I'd like to translate this as
'Causalities in linguistics', which I think is close to the meaning.

But then maybe I'm way off track here. Anyone have any other suggestions?

I cannot suggest a solution, so here is a piece of destructive criticism:

I think it should be kept in mind that the title of this course was devised by a linguistics expert. S/he must have had some reason for saying "Wirkungs-" instead of ´"Kausal-". In fact, I think that is the whole point: It is somehow about effects, not causes.

I do hope someone finds out what it really is.

All the best

Sirius makes a good point

I agree with Sirius that it's not so much the cause as the effect that is being stressed here.

When I first saw your query, I thought of cause and effect and interdependence. And I'd suggest using either "interdependencies" or "interrelationships" or maybe even "interaction". I know those words do not translate back exactly to Wirkungszusammenhang, but that's the sense that I get from the German. I'd drop the "context" altogether and looks towards interaction.

That's my two cents' worth. Hope it helps!

I think Tom Funke may have solved the problem - although we shall never really know unless someone reports back on the course.

"The dynamics of linguistics" might also work as a title.
