Hairdressing

The Frisistik (or Frisian Philology , rare Friesistik ) is the academic discipline that deals with the Frisian languages concerned and literatures. The subject also includes regional studies and culture in the Friesland region . In the Netherlands, only the term Frisistik or Frisistiek is common, since philology there is primarily understood to mean edition philology .

Research and Teaching

Germany

Universities

In Germany there are only Frisian professorships in Schleswig-Holstein. At the University of Kiel has had a separate chair for Frisian philology at the Frisian Seminar of the European University of Flensburg was founded in 2016 a professor of North Frisian, minority research and minority education , along with the teaching also is honorary professors and Nordfriisk Instituut ensured. Due to the small number of chairs, hairdressing belongs to the group of so-called small subjects in German university policy (see also the list of small subjects ).

As early as 1950, the North Frisian dictionary was located at the Nordic Institute of the University of Kiel, but a professorship for Frisian philology has only existed since 1978. This means that the subject can be studied there as a major and minor as part of a teaching degree or master’s degree. Today, Frisian Studies, Scandinavian Studies and General Linguistics form a joint institute at the Philosophical Faculty. Since the introduction of the Bologna degree courses in 2007, the subject “Frisian Philology” can be selected as one of two main subjects with the degrees Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts. Hairdressing modules are also open to students from other disciplines as part of the so-called subject supplement. However, hairdressing is not intended as a full subject in the teacher training course. However, student teachers have the opportunity to study Frisian as a so-called supplementary subject in addition to their two main subjects. The focus of research and teaching in Kiel is the North Frisian language and literature , but West Frisian and East Frisian are also treated in principle.

At the then Flensburg University of Education (now the European University of Flensburg), there were initially teaching assignments for Frisian from 1963 with interruptions. In 1988, a regular professorship was established for the subject, which was, however, canceled again in 1996 in the course of austerity measures when the professor retired. Since then, teaching at the Frisian seminar has been maintained again with teaching assignments and honorary professorships. In August 2016, a new professorship was set up which, in addition to minority research and education, is also assigned to North Frisian. Until 1999, Frisian could be chosen as one of three subjects in teacher training. In contrast, there are currently only limited opportunities for students to deal with Frisian. Students of German language and literature can complete a two-semester Frisian focus within their subject in their bachelor's degree. Student teachers of all subjects can also take individual courses in the compulsory elective area. There is also a certification offer to expand teaching skills for master’s students and active teachers. The courses relate almost exclusively to North Frisian.

At the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg there was a position in Low German and Sater Frisian under the direction of Marron Curtis Fort until 2003 . In 2008 the new professorship "German Linguistics: Linguistic Pragmatics and Sociolinguistics / Low German" was established at the university, to which Sater Frisian is also assigned. West and North Frisian are not taken into account. As in Flensburg, Frisian cannot be studied as a separate subject in Oldenburg. Sater Frisian courses for prospective teachers can mainly be taken within the German studies course.

Other bodies

As a so-called affiliated institution , the Nordfriisk Instituut in Bredstedt has been closely linked to the European University of Flensburg since 2007 while maintaining its independence and offers three courses at the university each semester. At the time of the first Flensburg Frisian professorship, the owner Nils Århammar was the director of language at the Nordfriisk Instituut. In 1999, the then director of the institute, Thomas Steensen, was appointed first honorary professor at the University of Flensburg.

In Alkersum auf Föhr , the Ferring Foundation exists as a scientific institution that primarily deals with the Föhr and Amrum language and regional studies. The head of the Ferring Foundation Volkert F. Faltings also became honorary professor in Flensburg in 2008.

Netherlands

In the Netherlands , the University of Groningen is the most important university for hairdressing. There is the department Friese Taal en Cultuur , the focus is on the West Frisian language . At the universities of Amsterdam and Leiden , courses in the field of hairdressing can be taken as minor and elective subjects. In Leeuwarden , the Fryske Akademy has been a scientific institution for researching the Frisian language since 1938. Frisian teachers are also trained at the NHL Stenden in Leeuwarden.

Occupational fields

Outside of a scientific career, hairdressers in Germany are mainly hired as teachers in the district of North Friesland or on Heligoland in Schleswig-Holstein . Other professional fields include media work or committee work in Frisian institutions.

history

From the early modern period to the 19th century, it was mainly educated laypeople who dealt with the individual Frisian dialects. The Germanist Theodor Siebs , who dealt with all three Frisian language branches, is considered the founder of modern hairdressing . Sieb's habilitation thesis from 1889 was called On the History of the Anglo-Frisian Language . His history of the Frisian language in Hermann Paul's outline of Germanic philology in 1901 is considered to be groundbreaking for hairdressing .
