Die Wahl des jeweils angemessenen Pronomens wird durch gesellschaftliche Normen bestimmt
I stuggle a little bit to understand what jeweils is actually doing often. The above sentence is an example.
Deep L offers:
The choice of the appropriate pronoun is determined by social norms
so it seems to remove jeweils.
It makes it clear that we’re not talking about ONE proper pronoun, but several possible proper pronouns that are each appropriate in different setups.
It would be clear enough without “jeweils” but this way, it’s more preciserererer.
hmmm, it seems confusing clumsy and superflous to me, but I guess thats cus i’m not a native speaker ; )
Does this not communicate the same thing?
Die Wahl von angemessenen Pronomen wird durch gesellschaftliche Normen bestimmt
Not really. It “can” technically also talk about different sets of pronouns. But this is really splitting hairs. At full reading speed, people would understand it just fine.
i started thinking about “respecitively”
and then checked linguee which does offer it as an option. It also offers “in each case” which sounds much better to me. I guess “in each instance” works too.
I think the position of jeweils is also a bit confusing for
Do you think this works as a translation:
“in each instance the selection of the appropriate pronoun is determined by social norms”
it sounds good to me, at least from the point of view of english -whether it exactly nails the meaning i don’t know
to me this doesn’t sound good, the meaning seems a bit off, I can’t quiet figure out why :
“the selection of each appropriate pronoun is determined by social norms”
“in each instance” has the focus on the instance while “jeweiliges Pronomen” has it on the pronoun. What about “situationally”?
I don’t think “situationally” would work, but “in a given situation” might.
I think “which” does some of the work of pointing at the pronouns and saying “hey, there are different possible options depending on the situation.”
