ideally typical Explanation: Found in this form on www., however, when speaking of German culture etc., (but not only) idealtypisch is left in the English text, e.g. EMCORE corporate spokeswoman Jo Ann McDonald said the ongoing collaboration "is viewed as an ideally typical example of successful 'dual-use' technology development" in which commercial applications parallel defense applications. (www.sandia.gov/media/scipark.htm ) Professor Kerner (Medieval and Modern History) gave a lecture on the topic "The Two Cultures—Yesterday and Today." Subsequently, professor Kuhlmann (Philosophy) presented a structural comparison of "ideally typical basic disciplines." Professor Kerner (Medieval and Modern History) gave a lecture on the topic "The Two Cultures—Yesterday and Today." Subsequently, professor Kuhlmann (Philosophy) presented a structural comparison of "ideally typical basic disciplines." Numerous aspects of Balinese life are thus organized acccording to this scheme. Villages are built idealtypisch along a kaja-kelod line, with the main temple on the mountain side and the cemetery on the sea side. Each temple is aligned in the same way, as well as the various shrines within the temples. The houses of a family compound are equally oriented, with the family temple in the most sacred corner, situated kaja/kangin. The head of family lives on the kangin side of the compound, and everyone sleeps with their head oriented towards kaja or kangin. The layout of various parts of the house and of the furniture follows similar rules: the kitchen will be built kelod, and the animals and the rubbish can be found in the least sacred corner, kelod/kauh. www.unige.ch/fapse/SSE/teachers/dasen/Man7.html Anti-Fascism was largely discredited by its overuse in the GDR, the reification of the term came to overshadow and ultimately collapse important distinctions for understanding the Nazi period and the postwar years. The limited recognition of the Jews' place in the Holocaust is one serious example. Kowalsky is correct in criticizing the West German left who he sees operating with old myths and a too idealtypisch approach. By denying their national identity as Germans and making a too simplistic elision between nationalism and fascism, these people can only seek out more authentic exotic cultures to admire and celebrate, thus the attraction of foreign restaurants, cultural festivals, and travels to Third World countries. They, in fact, often overemphasize xenophobia to the exclusion of anti-Semitism because of their ambivalence towards Israel. as above |

ideal and typical Explanation: It would make for a smoother style in English to use 2 adjectives instead of 1 adverb and 1 adjective. This translation technique (expressing one word by means of 2) is called "hen dia duoin" (which is Greek and means "1 by/through 2).
