Emil Lederer · 1920
This recorded commission speaking turn consists of Lederer’s brief corrective intervention in a discussion of coal mining:
Nein! Sie sehen, es ist heute schon so.
English translation: No! You see, it is already so today.
The emphatic refusal leads into an appeal to an already existing state of affairs. Lederer’s conceptual move is temporal: whatever condition is under discussion, he insists that it already holds. The supplied text does not identify that condition or preserve the preceding claim. It therefore supports an interpretation of his immediate argumentative gesture, but not a reconstruction of his position on coal mining. The missing conversational context requires review before a fuller account can be supplied.
