INTRODUCTION

This study is devoted to the study of the thematic group of words "Days of the week and months" in German in order to identify the origin of these names.

As you know, the language of any people reflects the system of views and ideas about the world that has developed in this culture. We can say that language helps to understand national specificity one country or another.

In modern linguistics, there is the term "linguistic picture of the world", or "a historically established set of people's ideas about the world, reflected in their language." Today, interest in the study of this phenomenon is growing. You can learn the national culture through the language of the people.

Relevance The topic is substantiated by the fact that the study of any language is not complete without learning the names of the days of the week and months. Every day, any person in his speech uses some day of the week or month. But not everyone knows where these words came from in German.

When studying the topic "Days of the week and months" in German lessons, it was difficult to remember the names of the days of the week. To facilitate the process of memorization, we decided to find out the origin of these words. We conducted a survey among students in grades 3 and 4 to find out the need for our work. (Appendix 2, 3). It turned out that out of 22 respondents, only 1 respondent knows about the origin of the names of the days of the week in German, and 20 would like to know why the days of the week and months are called that way. At the same time, none of the respondents knows about the origin of the names of the months.

Therefore, our goal research work was the search for ways to remember the names of the days of the week and months through the study of their origin.

Practical significance The work consists in the possibility of using the material and results of this study to improve the educational level in German lessons and in extracurricular activities.

Field of study- poems, rhymes, letters to pen pals.

Subject of study - thematic group words on the topic "Days of the week and months."

aim This work is to identify the origin in German of the names of the days of the week and months, their meaning and use.

To achieve this goal, it was necessary to solve the following tasks:

study the literature on the research topic;

analyze the received information;

find examples of the use of days of the week and months;

conduct a sociological survey among school students and find out the attitude of peers to the phenomenon under study;

arrange the results of the study in the form of a presentation.

Hypothesis: modern schoolchildren do not know the history of the origin of the names of the days of the week and months.

For this study, we used methods:

search;

historical and etymological;

descriptive;

questioning;

generalizations.

What is a "week"?

My task was to determine the meaning of the word "week". To do this, I turned to dictionaries, because the meanings of words are fixed in them.

After reading the dictionary entries, I made a pivot table. It contains a dictionary, its author and the meaning of the word "week".

Based on the data in the table, we conclude that the word "week" is modern name Sundays. So Monday is the day after the "week", Tuesday is the second day, and so on.

In modern Russian, the word "week" means a period of time equal to seven days.

2. How many days are there in a week and what can they tell us about?

So, we found out that there are seven days in a week. But where did these names come from?

Having studied the literature on the research topic, we found out that the names of the days of the week in German are associated with religion. The Germanic tribes glorified the Germanic-Scandinavian gods, which is why the following names appeared:

Days of the week

German

Monday

Diens tag

donners tag

Sams tag/Sonnabend

Sunday

Based on this table, we conclude that the first part of the word comes from the name of the gods or planets, and the second part of the word (tag) is translated from German as “day”.

Let's look at the origin of these words (Appendix 1)

Montag- the day of the moon.

Dienstag associated with the sky god.

Mittwoch- this is the middle of the week, named after the God Wodan (or associated with the god Mercury).

Donnerstag- associated with the thunder god Donar.

Freitag- the day of the week got its name from the German-Scandinavian goddess of love and fertility Freya.

Samstag- the word is based on the combination "star of Saturn".

Sonntag- the day of the sun.

In Germany, the days of the week are capitalized, even when shortened.

3. The origin of the months in German

There is an opinion that the names of the months are derived from Latin words.

January (January) - Janus (Janus) the god of doors and gates.

February (February) - Februa (Roman holiday of purification). In ancient times, houses looked very dirty, and the time that this month took was considered auspicious for cleaning the house.

Marz (March) was the first month of the year - Mars (god of war).

April (April) - from the Latin Aperire - "to open", as the buds on the trees open this month.

Mai (May) got its name in honor of the Roman god Maius, who was considered the patron of the earth and growth.

Juni (June) -Juno (Juno-goddess of marriage). Until now, some people believe and prefer to enter into marriage bonds in June.

Juli (July) - Julius (J. Caesar was born this month, reformed the Roman calendar).

august (August) (Octavian August completed the calendar).

September (September). Before the calendar reform, September was the seventh month, since the year began with March ("septem" = sieben).

Oktober (October) - Ochto = acht - 8).

October (November) - (novem = neun - 9).

Dezembe r (December) - (decem = zehn - 10).

Thus, the names of the months are associated with the names of great people or with the names of holidays.

The names of the months in German are also capitalized.

4. Examples of the use of days of the week and months in German

The days of the week are often used in German:

in birthday invitations:

Ich habe am Freitag Geburtstag und lade dich herzlich zum einem Gartenfest ein.

in poems:

Jede Woche bringt uns wieder

Arbeit, Freitag, Bücher, Lieder.

Monntag, Dienstag, Mittwoch, seht -

wie die Woche schnell vergeht.

Donnerstag und Freitag nun -

Haben wir noch viel zu tun.

Sonnabends und Sonntags dann-

machen wir einen neuen Plan.

in rhymes:

Welcher Wochentagistheute? Sagtmirbitte, liebeLeute!

Dienstagoder Montag?MittwochoderDonnerstag?

Freitagoder Sonntag? Samstagoder Montag?

4) in stories about what we do during the week: Am Montag, amDienstag, am Mittwoch, am Donnerstag, am Freitaggehenwir in die Schule. Am Samstag und am Sonntag gehenwir in die Schulenicht.

5) in personal letters (pen pal): Dienstag, 5. October 2017.

Months are not used as often as the days of the week in German:

1) when we say what month is our birthday: Ich habe am September Geburtstag.

2) in personal letters: 5. Oktober 2017 or Dienstag, 5. Oktober 2017.

3) in stories about their plans for the future: Im Juli fahre ich nach Deutschland.

4) to when we say what day of the week it is: Heute ist der 9. (neuente) November.

5. Results of the sociological survey

To find out the attitude of our peers to the problem of the origin of the days of the week and months, we invited them to answer the questions of the questionnaire (Appendix 2).

Among students of grades 3 and 4 of our school, a sociological survey was conducted on the research problem. His results:

Most schoolchildren were born in June and September.

The favorite month for many is December, since at the end of this month New Year. And also June, because there is no snow, summer and holidays begin. Some people have a favorite month when they have a birthday.

We noticed that many schoolchildren's favorite days of the week are Saturday and Sunday, because they are days off. 10 people have a favorite day of the week - Friday, because it is the last working day. 3 people have a favorite day of the week - Monday, because the beginning of the school week, and one student has physical education on this day.

We concluded that schoolchildren love weekends, so they associate them with bright colors such as red, orange, yellow, pink.

Many people associate the beginning of the week with white, blue, and green.

And from Wednesday to Friday - with brown, purple, yellow and red.

The results of the survey indicate that many students in grades 3 and 4 do not know the origin of the names of the days of the week and months and would like to know.

In this way, our hypothesis was confirmed.

CONCLUSION

The relevance of the study is that, having studied the origin of the names of the days of the week and months in German,

we were able to broaden our horizons;

now it will be easier for us to remember the German names of the days of the week and months with the help of poems, rhymed material;

we can write letters to our German pen pals,

and also tell in German when our birthday is.

When doing this work, we got acquainted with the history of the calendar (with the origin of the names of the days of the week and months in German), and also learned that these names are used in personal correspondence, in poems and rhymes.

Using the knowledge of theoretical material related to the study of the object, the following tasks were completed:

studied the literature on the research topic;

the received information was analyzed;

found examples of the use of days of the week and months;

a sociological survey was conducted among schoolchildren and the attitude of peers to the phenomenon under study was clarified.

Thanks to this study, we got acquainted with the history of the emergence of the German calendar and came to the following conclusions:

1. The days of the week in German are associated with the names of the planets and are named after the German-Scandinavian gods.

2. The names of the months come from Latin concepts.

Annex 3


In this lesson, we will look at an important topic related to the year in German. First of all, let's get acquainted with the main words:
Das Jahr- year
der Monat- month
die Woche- a week
der Tag- day

As you can see the genus German words in almost every case coincided with Russian, except for the word "year". It won't be hard to remember.

Seasons

Names of all seasons (die Jahreszeiten)- male:
der Winter- winter
der Fruhling- Spring
sommer- summer
der Herbst- autumn

If you want to say that some event happened in spring, winter, summer or autumn, you need a preposition in, which merges with the article into a new preposition im, for example: im Herbst.

Months

Months in German are also masculine:
der Januar- January
der Februar- February
der Marz- March
April- April
der Mai- May
der Juni- June
der Juli- July
der August– august
September- September
der Oktober- October
November- november
dezember- December

The same thing happens with months as with the seasons: if necessary, answer the question “when?”, Use the preposition im, for example: im Oktober. The word does not receive any additional endings.

Days of the week

There are some peculiarities in the names of the days of the week: for example, there are two words for Saturday, one of them (Sonnabend) used in the north of Germany, other (Samstag)- on South. And "Wednesday" is the only day of the week that does not have the word "day" in its name:

der Montag Monday
der Dienstag Tuesday
der Mittwoch Wednesday
der Donnerstag Thursday
der Freitag Friday
der Sonnabend/ der Samstag Saturday
der Sonntag Sunday
Das Wochenende weekends

Remember: the names of all days of the week are pronounced with the stress on the first syllable. And when answering the question "When?" (wann?) happy day of the week you need an excuse am: am Montag.

If you want to talk about an action that is repeated in certain day, the preposition is not needed at all, and the ending is added to the name of the week "s". For example: Sonntags gehen wir ins Kino. Wherein sonntags is an adverb, and in the middle of a sentence will be written with a small letter.

When specifying a gap, use prepositions von and bis. Articles in this case are not needed: Ich arbeite von Montag bis Freitag.

Times of Day

The names of the time of day are also almost all masculine:
der Morgen- morning
der Mittag- day; noon
der Abend- evening
But: die Nacht- night

With the names of the times of the day, the same principle applies as with the days of the week - use the preposition am:
am Morgen
am Mittag
BUT: in der Nacht

Another difference is the use of the preposition with the words noon and midnight:
am Mittag- on midday
um Mitternacht- at midnight

When indicating periodicity, also use the ending "s":
mittags- in the afternoon
abends- in the evening, in the evenings
nachts- at night, at night

Also note the following expressions:
Anfang August- at the beginning of August
Mitte Juni- in mid-June
Ende Januar- in the end of January
Anfang, Mitte, Ende des Jahres- at the beginning, in the middle, at the end of the year
Mitte Sommer- in the middle of summer

Important! To indicate the time, words such as:
heute- today
gestern- yesterday
morgen- tomorrow
übermorgen- day after tomorrow

These words will help you say "tonight" or "yesterday morning": heute Morgen, gestern Abend. And to say "tomorrow morning", use the phrase morgen fruh.
