    On reconstructing Proto-Bantu grammar (2023)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This book is about reconstructing the grammar of Proto-Bantu, the ancestral language at the origin of current-day Bantu languages. While Bantu is a low-level branch of Niger-Congo, the world’s biggest phylum, it is still Africa’s biggest language family. This edited volume attempts to retrieve the phonology, morphology and syntax used by the earliest Bantu speakers to communicate with each other, discusses methods to do so, and looks at issues raised by these academic endeavours. It is a collective effort involving a fine mix of junior and senior scholars representing several generations of expert historical-comparative Bantu research. It is the first systematic approach to Proto-Bantu grammar since Meeussen’s Bantu Grammatical Reconstructions (1967). Based on new bodies of evidence from the last five decades, most notably from northwestern Bantu languages, this book considerably transforms our understanding of Proto-Bantu grammar and offers new methodological approaches to Bantu grammatical reconstruction.

    Social and structural aspects of language contact and change (2023)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This book brings together papers that discuss social and structural aspects of language contact and language change. Several papers look at the relevance of historical documents to determine the linguistic nature of early contact varieties, while others investigate the specific processes of contact-induced change that were involved in the emergence and development of these languages. A third set of papers look at how new datasets and greater sensitivity to social issues can help to (re)assess persistent theoretical and empirical questions as well as help to open up new avenues of research. In particular they highlight the heterogeneity of contemporary language practices and attitudes often obscured in sociolinguistic research. The contributions all focus on language variation and change but investigate it from a variety of disciplinary and empirical perspectives and cover a range of linguistic contexts.

    A aquisição de língua materna e não materna (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: The present volume is an introduction to the study of Language Acquisition, especially centered on Portuguese. Even though the different chapters always take Portuguese as a point of departure, a comparative perspective is assumed and Portuguese data is compared to data from other languages, when relevant. This book aims at filling a gap in the literature: an introductory textbook to be used by students of Language Acquisition in Portuguese-speaking countries. The book is composed by chapters authored by several Portuguese and Brazilian researchers and it presents in textbook format a relevant part of the research results obtained during the last decades. The book starts with a general historical presentation of the field. The following chapters explore the acquisition of phonology and syntax and consider the problem of typical and atypical development, as well as linguistic assessment. Bilingualism and L2 acquisition are the topics of two independent chapters. Two final chapters discuss the development of linguistic awareness, in relation to the acquisition of writing.

    A grammar of Gyeli (Volume 2) (2021)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This grammar offers a grammatical description of the Ngòló variety of Gyeli, an endangered Bantu (A80) language spoken by 4,000-5,000 "Pygmy" hunter-gatherers in southern Cameroon. It represents one of the most comprehensive descriptions of a northwestern Bantu language. The grammatical description, which is couched in a form-to-function approach, covers all levels of language, ranging from Gyeli phonology to its information structure and complex clauses. It draws on nineteen months of fieldwork carried out as part of the "Bagyeli/Bakola" DoBeS (Documentation of Endangered Languages) project between 2010 and 2014. The resulting multimodal corpus from that project, which includes texts of diverse genres such as traditional stories, narratives, multi-party conversations and dialogues, procedural texts, and songs, provides the empirical basis for the grammatical description. The documentary text collection, supplemented by data from elicitation work, questionnaires, and experiments, are accessible in the Bagyeli/Bakola collection of The Language Archive. With additional ethnographic, sociolinguistic, diachronic, and comparative remarks, the grammar may appeal to a wider audience in general linguistics, typology, Bantu studies, and anthropology. In 2019, the grammar received the Pāṇini Award by the Association for Linguistic Typology.

    Roots of language (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Roots of language was originally published in 1981 by Karoma Press (Ann Arbor). It was the first work to systematically develop a theory first suggested by Coelho in the late nineteenth century: that the creation of creole languages somehow reflected universal properties of language. The book also proposed that the same set of properties would be found to emerge in normal first-language acquisition and must have emerged in the original evolution of language. These proposals, some of which were elaborated in an article in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (1984), were immediately controversial and gave rise to a great deal of subsequent research in creoles, much of it aimed at rebutting the theory. The book also served to legitimize and stimulate research in language evolution, a topic regarded as off-limits by linguists for over a century. The present edition contains a foreword by the author bringing the theory up to date; a fuller exposition of many of its aspects can be found in the author’s most recent work, More than nature needs (Harvard University Press, 2014).

    The evolution of grounded spatial language (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This book presents groundbreaking robotic experiments on how and why spatial language evolves. It provides detailed explanations of the origins of spatial conceptualization strategies, spatial categories, landmark systems and spatial grammar by tracing the interplay of environmental conditions, communicative and cognitive pressures. The experiments discussed in this book go far beyond previous approaches in grounded language evolution. For the first time, agents can evolve not only particular lexical systems but also evolve complex conceptualization strategies underlying the emergence of category systems and compositional semantics. Moreover, many issues in cognitive science, ranging from perception and conceptualization to language processing, had to be dealt with to instantiate these experiments, so that this book contributes not only to the study of language evolution but to the investigation of the cognitive bases of spatial language as well.

    A grammar of Sanzhi Dargwa (Volume 2) (2021)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Sanzhi Dargwa belongs to the Dargwa (Dargi) languages (ISO dar; Glottocode sanz1248) which form a subgroup of the East Caucasian (Nakh-Dagestanian) language family. Sanzhi Dargwa is spoken by approximately 250 speakers and is severely endangered. This book is the first comprehensive descriptive grammar of Sanzhi, written from a typological perspective. It treats all major levels of grammar (phonology, morphology, syntax) and also information structure. Sanzhi Dargwa is structurally similar to other East Caucasian languages, in particular Dargwa languages. It has a relatively large consonant inventory including pharyngeal and ejective consonants. Sanzhi morphology is concatenative and mainly suffixing. The language exhibits a mixture of dependent-marking in the form of a rich case inventory and head-marking in the form of verbal agreement. Nouns are divided into three genders. Verbal inflection conflates tense/aspect/mood/evidentiality in a rich array of synthetic and analytic verb forms as well as participles, converbs, a masdar (verbal noun), and infinitive and some other forms used in analytic tenses and subordinate clauses. Salient traits of the grammar are two independently operating agreement systems: gender/number agreement and person agreement. Within the nominal domain, modifiers agree with the head nominal in gender/number. Agreement within the clausal domain is mainly controlled by the argument in the absolutive case. Person agreement operates only at the clausal level and according to the person hierarchy 1, 2 〉 3. Sanzhi has ergative alignment in the form of gender/number agreement and ergative case marking. The most frequent word order at the clause level is SOV, though all other logically possible word orders are also attested. In subordinate clauses, word order is almost exclusively head-final.

    Erweiterung der EU. (2023)
    Duncker & Humblot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Auf seiner letzten Jahrestagung hat sich der Verein für Socialpolitik mit einem der zentralen Zukunftsthemen der europäischen Wirtschaftspolitik auseinandergesetzt: Die Osterweiterung der Europäischen Union. Der Vorsitzende des Vereins, Hans-Werner Sinn, greift in seiner Eröffnungsrede die Sorge der Westeuropäer über erwartete Wanderungsströme von Arbeitskräften auf. Er warnt vor einer Dramatisierung, weist aber auf die Anpassungserfordernisse für Arbeitsmärkte und Sozialsysteme hin. Andries Brandsma von der Europäischen Kommission macht deutlich, daß vor dem Beitritt ein umfassender Kriterienkatalog zu erfüllen ist, was den Beitrittskandidaten bisher in unterschiedlichem Maße gelungen ist. Die Wohlfahrtseffekte der Osterweiterung für die EU 15, die bisher empirisch kaum quantifiziert wurden, behandelt Wilhelm Kohler von der Universität Linz im Rahmen einer modellgestützten empirischen Analyse. Michael Burda von der Berliner Humboldt-Universität setzt sich vornehmlich mit den Arbeitsmarktwirkungen auseinander. Im Unterschied zur herrschenden Meinung erwartet er positive Arbeitsmarkteffekte für die EU 15, hingegen eher negative für die Beitrittsländer. Hans Peter Lankes von der EBRD vertritt die These, daß in der Phase vor dem Beitritt erhöhte Investitionsanforderungen auf die betreffenden Länder zukommen, für deren Finanzierung die Voraussetzungen geschaffen werden müssen. Alfred Steinherr von der Europäischen Investitionsbank betont abschließend nochmals die tiefgreifenden Reformen, die von der Gemeinschaft der 15 vor einer Osterweiterung vollzogen werden müssen. Auf der Jahrestagung erfolgen stets auch Ehrungen. Neben der Verleihung des Gossenpreises an Ernst Fehr war die Thünen-Vorlesung des Nobelpreisträgers Reinhard Selten ein besonderes wissenschaftliches Vergnügen. Mit seinen Ausführungen hat er an den Grundfesten der ökonomischen Theorie gerüttelt, was manchen Tagungsteilnehmer sicher nicht wenig irritiert hat.

    How mobile robots can self-organise a vocabulary (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: One of the hardest problems in science is the symbol grounding problem, a question that has intrigued philosophers and linguists for more than a century. With the rise of artificial intelligence, the question has become very actual, especially within the field of robotics. The problem is that an agent, be it a robot or a human, perceives the world in analogue signals. Yet humans have the ability to categorise the world in symbols that they, for instance, may use for language. This book presents a series of experiments in which two robots try to solve the symbol grounding problem. The experiments are based on the language game paradigm, and involve real mobile robots that are able to develop a grounded lexicon about the objects that they can detect in their world. Crucially, neither the lexicon nor the ontology of the robots has been preprogrammed, so the experiments demonstrate how a population of embodied language users can develop their own vocabularies from scratch.

    Verteilungsprobleme im Transformationsprozeß. (2023)
    Duncker & Humblot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-02
    Description: In der ökonomischen Analyse von Transformationsprozessen steht traditionell die Steigerung der Effizienz durch Privatisierung und Wettbewerb im Vordergrund der Betrachtung. Die Erfahrungen aus dem Übergang von Plan- zu Marktwirtschaften in den mittel- und osteuropäischen Reformländern während der letzten zwölf Jahre zeigen indessen, daß ungelöste Verteilungsprobleme im weitesten Sinne zu ernsthaften Reformblockaden führen können. Der vorliegende Sammelband faßt die Beiträge der Jahrestagung des Ausschusses für Wirtschaftssysteme vom 17. bis 19. 09. 2000 in Potsdam zum Thema "Verteilungsprobleme im Transformationsprozeß" zusammen. Bewußt wird hier der Begriff "Verteilungsprobleme" so weit gefaßt, daß er auch die Verteilung politischer Entscheidungskompetenz sowie die Verteilung von Entscheidungsmacht im Unternehmen im Hinblick auf die Massenprivatisierung einschließt. Ein weiterer für die Reformländer zentraler gesellschafts- und verteilungspolitischer Aspekt, nämlich das Problem der Alterssicherung und der intergenerationellen Umverteilung in kleinen offenen Transformationswirtschaften, wird ebenso behandelt wie die praktische Arbeitsmarktpolitik in verschiedenen Reformländern (Polen, Ungarn und Tschechien). Probleme der Einkommensverteilung im Transformationsprozeß, etwa der Zusammenhang zwischen Transformation und Einkommensverteilung oder die Frage der Einkommensdynamik und der Stabilität im Transformationsprozeß, vor allem am Beispiel der Tschechischen Republik, schließen die Erörterung der Verteilungsproblematik beim Übergang zur Marktwirtschaft ab.

    Tonal placement in Tashlhiyt (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: In most languages, words contain vowels, elements of high intensity with rich harmonic structure, enabling the perceptual retrieval of pitch. By contrast, in Tashlhiyt, a Berber language, words can be composed entirely of voiceless segments. When an utterance consists of such words, the phonetic opportunity for the execution of intonational pitch movements is exceptionally limited. This book explores in a series of production and perception experiments how these typologically rare phonotactic patterns interact with intonational aspects of linguistic structure. It turns out that Tashlhiyt allows for a tremendously flexible placement of tonal events. Observed intonational structures can be conceived of as different solutions to a functional dilemma: The requirement to realise meaningful pitch movements in certain positions and the extent to which segments lend themselves to a clear manifestation of these pitch movements.

    Development Cooperation - Evaluation and New Approaches. (2023)
    Duncker & Humblot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: This volume represents some of the Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Research Committee on Development Economics (Ausschuss für Entwicklungsländer) of the German Economic Association (Verein für Socialpolitik) held in Cologne, Germany, in July 2004. The meeting focused on the effectiveness of, and new approaches in, development cooperation. Both issues have become increasingly important in recent years in view of the declining volume of budget funds allocated to development cooperation. The papers discussing the effectiveness of foreign aid shed new light on the issue at a crucial moment where economists have begun to question the recent consensus that the productivity of aid mainly depends on the recipient country's policy environment. As far as the contributions dealing with new approaches in development cooperation are concerned, these are centred on a closer integration of the private sector, by joint action with so-called lead firms in production networks on the one hand, and the mobilization of additional financial resources from international capital markets for bilateral development cooperation, on the other. The authors also make suggestions concerning critical aspects relevant for implementation. The last part of this volume is dedicated to an assessment of low-income countries' pension schemes based on the human capital approach.This volume represents some of the Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Research Committee on Development Economics (Ausschuss für Entwicklungsländer) of the German Economic Association (Verein für Socialpolitik) held in Cologne, Germany, in July 2004.

    Zukunftsprobleme der Europäischen Wirtschaftsverfassung. (2023)
    Duncker & Humblot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Die Europäische Union steht vor großen Herausforderungen. Erweiterung und Vertiefung der Union stehen auf der Politikagenda. Ob die Vorschläge des Europäischen Verfassungskonvents für eine grundlegende Erneuerung des Unionsvertrages diesbezüglich zukunftsfähig sind, bedarf einer intensiven Diskussion. In den Beiträgen des vorliegenden Bandes stehen Probleme speziell der europäischen Wirtschaftsverfassung im Mittelpunkt. Obwohl der Begriff der Wirtschaftsverfassung nicht eindeutig definiert ist, sind juristische und vor allem verfassungs- und institutionenökonomische Analysen von Belang. Dabei spannen die Beiträge einen Bogen über die wichtigsten Problembereiche. Grundsätzliche Überlegungen zu einer europäischen Verfassung führen zu den Fragen: Benötigen wir überhaupt eine Verfassung für Europa? Wie ist das Verhältnis zwischen den Nationalstaaten und der Union zu regeln? Freiheit, Bürgersouveränität und Subsidiarität - als eine spezielle Ausprägung des Prinzips der komparativen Wettbewerbsvorteile - spielen in der europäischen Wirtschaftsverfassung eine zentrale Rolle. Sie ergänzen sich mit Überlegungen zur europäischen Finanzverfassung, in der auch die Frage nach den institutionellen Ebenen gestellt wird, die für die Bereitstellung und Finanzierung unterschiedlicher Güter in der Union verantwortlich sind. Gefragt wird auch, ob eine Koordination der nationalen Arbeitsmarktpolitiken auf EU-Ebene sinnvoll ist, oder ob die Bekämpfung der Arbeitslosigkeit im nationalen Politikbereich verbleiben sollte. Zudem: Welche konstitutionen- und institutionenökonomischen Dimensionen hat der Stabilitäts- und Wachstumspakt? Behandelt wird auch das Problem, ob im europäischen Strukturwandel ein Konflikt existiert zwischen ökonomischer Effizienz und sozialer Sicherheit. Vor dem Hintergrund der Theorie optimaler Jurisdiktionen stellt sich die Frage nach der optimalen Länderzahl für die EU-Erweiterung. Optimalitätsprobleme aufgrund der Erweiterung des Euro-Raumes werden hinsichtlich der Entscheidungseffizienz des Rats der Europäischen Zentralbank erörtert. Schließlich behandelt der Band spezielle Aspekte der Subsidiarität sowie der kollektiven Marktbeherrschung in der Wettbewerbspolitik innerhalb der Union.

    Dependencies in language: On the causal ontology of linguistic systems (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Dependency is a fundamental concept in the analysis of linguistic systems. The many if-then statements offered in typology and grammar-writing imply a causally real notion of dependency that is central to the claim being made—usually with reference to widely varying timescales and types of processes. But despite the importance of the concept of dependency in our work, its nature is seldom defined or made explicit. This book brings together experts on language, representing descriptive linguistics, language typology, functional/cognitive linguistics, cognitive science, research on gesture and other semiotic systems, developmental psychology, psycholinguistics, and linguistic anthropology to address the following question: What kinds of dependencies exist among language-related systems, and how do we define and explain them in natural, causal terms?

    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This volume contains the complete collection of published and unpublished work on German grammar by Tilman N. Höhle. It consists of two parts. The first part is Topologische Felder, a book-length manuscript that was written in 1983 but was never finished nor published. It is a careful examination of the topological properties of German sentences, including a discussion of typological assumptions. The second part assembles all other published and unpublished papers by Höhle on German grammar. All of these papers were highly influential in German linguistics, in theoretical linguistics in general, and in a specific variant of theoretical linguistics, Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar. Topics covered are clause structure, constituent order, coordination, (verum) focus, word structure, the relationship between relative pronouns and verbs in V2, extraction, and the foundations of a theory of phonology in constraint-based grammar.

    Description: The original (1985) edition of this work attempted to cover the main lines of development of phonological theory from the end of the 19th century through the early 1980s. Much work of importance, both theoretical and historiographic, has appeared in subsequent years, and the present edition tries to bring the story up to the end of the 20th century, as the title promised. This has involved an overall editing of the text, in the process correcting some errors of fact and interpretation, as well as the addition of new material and many new references.

    Dynamische Modellierung von Artikulation und prosodischer Struktur (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Die Artikulatorische Phonologie (Catherine Browman und Louis Goldstein) wurde als Alternative zu segmentalen Ansätzen entwickelt. So nimmt die segmentale Phonologie an, dass nur distinkte Information gespeichert wird, die dann mit Hilfe von Regeln und Rechenprinzipien von der kategorialen Welt der Symbole in die kontinuierliche Welt der physikalischen Repräsentation übersetzt wird. Die Artikulatorische Phonologie hingegen nimmt an, dass auch kontinuierliche Information wie beispielsweise sprecher- oder situationsbedingte Variationen als Teil des Sprachsystems gespeichert werden. Variabilität wird hier als Teil des linguistischen Systems betrachtet, das konkret Aufschluss über zugrundeliegende Strukturen gibt. Im Modell der Artikulatorischen Phonologie wird Sprache als dynamisches System betrachtet und somit phonetische und phonologische Information integriert. Die Grundeinheiten der Artikulatorischen Phonologie sind nicht Segmente oder Merkmale, sondern artikulatorische Gesten. Diese legen linguistische relevante Konstriktionen wie beispielsweise einen Vollverschluss der Zungenspitze an den Alveolen sowie eine glottale Öffnungsgeste für Stimmlosigkeit bei der Produktion von /t/. Die Einbeziehung der zeitlichen Domäne ermöglicht im Gegensatz zu segmentalen Ansätzen die Abbildung natürlicher Variabilität. So kann beispielsweise im Falle von /t/ der Grad der Aspiration direkt aus der zeitlichen Anordnung der glottalen und oralen Geste abgeleitet werden: Ist die glottale Geste länger als die Zungenspitzengeste aktiviert, so entsteht auf akustischer Oberfläche Aspiration. Artikulatorische Gesten enkodieren darüber hinaus den kontextuellen Einfluss (Koartikulation in Form von Synergien zwischen Organgruppen) und können direkt den Einfluss höhere linguistischer Strukturen wie der prosodischen Hierarchie abbilden. Das vorliegende Buch stellt eine Einführung in die Artikulatorische Phonologie dar. Es richtet sich an Leserinnen und Leser, die phonetische Grundkenntnisse besitzen und sich mit der Artikulatorischen Phonologie beschäftigen. Darüber hinaus werden neben einer Einführung in das Model auch neuere Arbeiten und aktuelle Weiterentwicklungen aufgezeigt, insbesondere die Implementierung prosodischer Aspekte in die Artikulatorische Phonologie. Somit eignet sich das Buch auch für Leserinnen und Leser, die bereits mit der Artikulatorischen Phonologie in Kontakt gekommen sind, aber ihr Wissen vertiefen möchten. Zur Veranschaulichung werden Beispiele aus verschiedenen Sprachen gegeben, darunter Deutsch, Katalanisch, Italienisch, Polnisch, Mandarin und Tashlhiyt Berber.

    Ökonomische und politische Grenzen von Wirtschaftsräumen. (2023)
    Duncker & Humblot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Nationalstaaten verändern ihre Größe - dies lehrt die Geschichte. Gleichwohl wird die Größe eines Landes in der Ökonomik meist als exogen angenommen und nicht erklärt. Dies überrascht, weil die Staatsgröße in gewissem Umfang als Ergebnis rationaler Entscheidungen und als genuin institutionenökonomische Fragestellung angesehen werden kann. Deshalb fragen die Autoren des vorliegenden Bandes aus institutionenökonomischer Sicht nach ökonomischen und politischen Grenzen von Wirtschaftsräumen. Der erste Teil befasst sich mit vorliegenden Ansätzen zur Erklärung der Größe von Nationen am Beispiel der Europäischen Union und des Deutschen Reiches: Gibt es eine optimale Größe der EU? Welches sind die Ursachen der historischen deutschen Kleinstaaterei? Diskutiert wird zudem die These, dass zunehmender Welthandel ein Faktor der Desintegration von Staaten sei. Im Mittelpunkt des zweiten Teils steht die Verteilung öffentlicher Aufgaben innerhalb einer Nation. Die Autoren fragen, warum nicht alle staatlichen Aufgaben in der Hand einer Zentralregierung liegen, sondern teilweise auf sub- und supranationale Jurisdiktionsebenen ausgelagert sind. Japan gereicht als ein Beispiel für ein bislang zentralistisch organisiertes Staatsgebilde, für das eine stärkere Dezentralisierung gefordert wird. Thema des dritten Teils ist die Integration von Wirtschaftsräumen durch Finanznetzwerke. Analysiert wird beispielhaft das informelle Finanzsystem "hawala", das vor allem in islamischen Ländern verbreitet ist.

    Formulaic language (2021)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: The notion of formulaicity has received increasing attention in disciplines and areas as diverse as linguistics, literary studies, art theory and art history. In recent years, linguistic studies of formulaicity have been flourishing and the very notion of formulaicity has been approached from various methodological and theoretical perspectives and with various purposes in mind. The linguistic approach to formulaicity is still in a state of rapid development and the objective of the current volume is to present the current explorations in the field. Papers collected in the volume make numerous suggestions for further development of the field and they are arranged into three complementary parts. The first part, with three chapters, presents new theoretical and methodological insights as well as their practical application in the development of custom-designed software tools for identification and exploration of formulaic language in texts. Two papers in the second part explore formulaic language in the context of language learning. Finally, the third part, with three chapters, showcases descriptive research on formulaic language conducted primarily from the perspectives of corpus linguistics and translation studies. The volume will be of interest to anyone involved in the study of formulaic language either from a theoretical or a practical perspective.

    Language assessment in multilingual settings (2023)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This volume explores and addresses questions related to equitable access for assessment. It seeks to initiate a conversation among scholars about inclusive practices in language assessments. Whether the student is a second language learner, a heritage language learner, a multilingual language speaker, a community member, the authors in the present volume provide examples of assessment that do not follow a single universal or standardized design but an applicable one based on the needs and context of a given community. The contributors in this volume are scholars from different disciplines and contexts in Higher Education. They have created and proposed multiple lower-stakes assignments and accommodated learning by being flexible and open without assuming that learners know how to do specific tasks. Each chapter provides different examples on Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) assessment practices based on observation, examination, and integrative notions of diverse language scenarios. It may be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the fields of curriculum and instruction, language learning, and applied linguistics as well as those in the field of language teaching in general. Thus this volume broadens the scope of research in the area of multilingual assessment.

    Methods in prosody (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This book presents a collection of pioneering papers reflecting current methods in prosody research with a focus on Romance languages. The rapid expansion of the field of prosody research in the last decades has given rise to a proliferation of methods that has left little room for the critical assessment of these methods. The aim of this volume is to bridge this gap by embracing original contributions, in which experts in the field assess, reflect, and discuss different methods of data gathering and analysis. The book might thus be of interest to scholars and established researchers as well as to students and young academics who wish to explore the topic of prosody, an expanding and promising area of study.

    Emergent phonology (Volume 7) (2022)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: To what extent do complex phonological patterns require the postulation of universal mechanisms specific to language? In this volume, we explore the Emergent Hypothesis, that the innate language-specific faculty driving the shape of adult grammars is minimal, with grammar development relying instead on cognitive capacities of a general nature. Generalisations about sounds, and about the way sounds are organised into meaningful units, are constructed in a bottom-up fashion: As such, phonology is emergent. We present arguments for considering the Emergent Hypothesis, both conceptually and by working through an extended example in order to demonstrate how an adult grammar might emerge from the input encountered by a learner. Developing a concrete, data-driven approach, we argue that the conventional, abstract notion of unique underlying representations is unmotivated; such underlying representations would require some innate principle to ensure their postulation by a learner. We review the history of the concept and show that such postulated forms result in undesirable phonological consequences. We work through several case studies to illustrate how various types of phonological patterns might be accounted for in the proposed framework. The case studies illustrate patterns of allophony, of productive and unproductive patterns of alternation, and cases where the surface manifestation of a feature does not seem to correspond to its morphological source. We consider cases where a phonetic distinction that is binary seems to manifest itself in a way that is morphologically ternary, and we consider cases where underlying representations of considerable abstractness have been posited in previous frameworks. We also consider cases of opacity, where observed phonological properties do not neatly map onto the phonological generalisations governing patterns of alternation.

    Categoriality and continuity in prosodic prominence (Volume 10) (2021)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Prosody has been characterised as a "half-tamed savage" being shaped by both discrete, categorical aspects as well as gradient, continuous phenomena. This book is concerned with the relation of the "wild" and the "tamed" sides of prosodic prominence. It reviews problems that arise from a strict separation of categorical and continuous representations in models of phonetics and phonology, and it explores the potential role of descriptions aimed at reconciling the two domains. In doing so, the book offers an introduction to dynamical systems, a framework that has been studied extensively in the last decades to model speech production and perception. The reported acoustic and articulatory data presented in this book show that categorical and continuous modulations used to enhance prosodic prominence are deeply intertwined and even exhibit a kind of symbiosis. A multi-dimensional dynamical model of prosodic prominence is sketched, based on the empirical data, combining tonal and articulatory aspects of prosodic focus marking. The model demonstrates how categorical and continuous aspects can be inte- grated in a joint theoretical treatment that overcomes a strict separation of phonetics and phonology.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Technological advancement is reshaping the ways in which language interpreters operate. This poses existential challenges to the profession but also offers new opportunities. This books moves from the design of the computer-assisted interpreting tool SmarTerp as a case study of impact-driven interpreting technology research. It demonstrates how usability testing was used to achieve an interpreter-centred design. By contextualising the case study within the past and current developments of translation and interpreting technology research, this book seeks to inform and inspire a redefinition of the conceptualisation of interpreting technology research—not just as a tool to understand change but to drive it into a sustainable and human direction.

    Computer-assisted simultaneous interpreting (2023)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: The present work explores computer-assisted simultaneous interpreting (CASI) from a primarily cognitive perspective. Despite concerns over the potentially negative impact of computer-assisted interpreting (CAI) tools on interpreters’ cognitive load (CL), this hypothesis remains untested. Previous research is restricted to the evaluation of the CASI product and a methodology for the process-oriented evaluation of CASI and the empirical evidence for its cognitive modelling are missing. Overcoming these limitations appears essential to advance CAI research, particularly to foster a deeper understanding of the cognitive aspects of CAI through a validated research methodology and to determine the feasibility of the integration of CAI tools into the interpreting process. This book tests and validates a methodology for the combined exploration of the product and process of CASI. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected during an eyetracking experiment at the Translation & Cognition Centre of the University of Mainz. The study followed a convergent mixed-method and multi-method approach and involved nine interpreting students. Prior to the experimental task, the informants were trained in the use of three terminology support tools: a digital glossary in PDF format, a CAI tool with manual look-up, and a mock-up CAI tool with integrated automatic speech recognition (ASR) for terminology. After several pre-tests, the participants interpreted three speeches from English into their native German using a different tool each time. To increase comparability between the three conditions and control for potentially confounding variables, the speeches were validated during a pilot study. The students’ gaze data and deliveries were recorded and analysed. Qualitative data on the informants’ perception of the tools were collected post-hoc. In the study, several performance, behavioural, and subjective measures were analysed: terminological accuracy and errors and omissions; glossary queries, ear-voice span, inter-cluster pause duration, time to first fixation, average fixation duration, and fixation time; qualitative questionnaire responses. The findings provide insights into the effects of CAI tools on CL and attention allocation in interpreter-CAI tool interaction during simultaneous interpreting. As this is the first study on in-process CAI tool use with a markedly cognitive orientation, it entails significant implications for the methodological development of CAI research and the design of future studies on cognitive aspects of CASI, while raising additional questions in need of further investigation.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: After a short review of the history of research, the work introduces and delimits the concepts related to grammaticalization. It then provides extensive exemplification of grammaticalization phenomena in diverse languages, ordered by grammatical domains such as the verbal, pronominal and nominal sphere and clause level relations. The final chapter presents a theory of grammaticalization which is based on the autonomy of the linguistic sign with respect to the paradigmatic and syntagmatic axes. This is the basis of the structural parameters that constitute grammaticalization. They are operationalized to the point of rendering degrees of grammaticalization measurable.

    Grammatical theory: From transformational grammar to constraint-based approaches (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: "This book introduces formal grammar theories that play a role in current linguistic theorizing (Phrase Structure Grammar, Transformational Grammar/Government & Binding, Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, Categorial Grammar, Head-​Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Construction Grammar, Tree Adjoining Grammar). The key assumptions are explained and it is shown how the respective theory treats arguments and adjuncts, the active/passive alternation, local reorderings, verb placement, and fronting of constituents over long distances. The analyses are explained with German as the object language. The second part of the book compares these approaches with respect to their predictions regarding language acquisition and psycholinguistic plausibility. The nativism hypothesis, which assumes that humans posses genetically determined innate language-specific knowledge, is critically examined and alternative models of language acquisition are discussed. The second part then addresses controversial issues of current theory building such as the question of flat or binary branching structures being more appropriate, the question whether constructions should be treated on the phrasal or the lexical level, and the question whether abstract, non-visible entities should play a role in syntactic analyses. It is shown that the analyses suggested in the respective frameworks are often translatable into each other. The book closes with a chapter showing how properties common to all languages or to certain classes of languages can be captured. The book is a translation of the German book Grammatiktheorie, which was published by Stauffenburg in 2010. "

    Empirical modelling of translation and interpreting (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: "Empirical research is carried out in a cyclic way: approaching a research area bottom-up, data lead to interpretations and ideally to the abstraction of laws, on the basis of which a theory can be derived. Deductive research is based on a theory, on the basis of which hypotheses can be formulated and tested against the background of empirical data. Looking at the state-of-the-art in translation studies, either theories as well as models are designed or empirical data are collected and interpreted. However, the final step is still lacking: so far, empirical data has not lead to the formulation of theories or models, whereas existing theories and models have not yet been comprehensively tested with empirical methods. This publication addresses these issues from several perspectives: multi-method product- as well as process-based research may gain insights into translation as well as interpreting phenomena. These phenomena may include cognitive and organizational processes, procedures and strategies, competence and performance, translation properties and universals, etc. Empirical findings about the deeper structures of translation and interpreting will reduce the gap between translation and interpreting practice and model and theory building. Furthermore, the availability of more large-scale empirical testing triggers the development of models and theories concerning translation and interpreting phenomena and behavior based on quantifiable, replicable and transparent data."

    A grammar of Palula (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: "This grammar provides a grammatical description of Palula, an Indo-Aryan language of the Shina group. The language is spoken by about 10,000 people in the Chitral district in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. This is the first extensive description of the formerly little-documented Palula language, and is one of only a few in-depth studies available for languages in the extremely multilingual Hindukush-Karakoram region. The grammar is based on original fieldwork data, collected over the course of about ten years, commencing in 1998. It is primarily in the form of recorded, mainly narrative, texts, but supplemented by targeted elicitation as well as notes of observed language use. All fieldwork was conducted in close collaboration with the Palula-speaking community, and a number of native speakers took active part in the process of data gathering, annotation and data management. The main areas covered are phonology, morphology and syntax, illustrated with a large number of example items and utterances, but also a few selected lexical topics of some prominence have received a more detailed treatment as part of the morphosyntactic structure. Suggestions for further research that should be undertaken are given throughout the grammar. The approach is theory-informed rather than theory-driven, but an underlying functional-typological framework is assumed. Diachronic development is taken into account, particularly in the area of morphology, and comparisons with other languages and references to areal phenomena are included insofar as they are motivated and available. The description also provides a brief introduction to the speaker community and their immediate environment. "

    A grammar of Pichi (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Pichi is an Afro-Caribbean English-lexifier Creole spoken on the island of Bioko, Equatorial Guinea. It is an offshoot of 19th century Krio (Sierra Leone) and shares many characteristics with West African relatives like Nigerian Pidgin, Cameroon Pidgin, and Ghanaian Pidgin English, as well as with the English-lexifier creoles of the insular and continental Caribbean. This comprehensive description presents a detailed analysis of the grammar and phonology of Pichi. It also includes a collection of texts and wordlists. Pichi features a nominative-accusative alignment, SVO word order, adjective-noun order, prenominal determiners, and prepositions. The language has a seven-vowel system and twenty-two consonant phonemes. Pichi has a two-tone system with tonal minimal pairs, morphological tone, and tonal processes. The morphological structure is largely isolating.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Einmal mehr zeigt sich die Heterogenität der Mitgliedsstaaten der Europäischen Union in ihren wirtschaftlichen, politischen und institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen ebenso wie in ihren wirtschaftspolitischen Präferenzen und in ihren Vorstellungen, wie auf Herausforderungen reagiert werden sollte. Herausforderungen sind zahlreiche zu bewältigen und weitere zeichnen sich ab. Sie kommen nicht nur von außen, sondern sie bilden sich auch durch ordnungspolitische Divergenzen innerhalb der Europäischen Union heraus, so in der Einschätzung einer regelorientierten Wirtschaftspolitik im Vergleich zu einer Wirtschaftslenkung. Diese Kontroverse ist zwar nicht neu, gewinnt aktuell jedoch große Bedeutung und wird daher in den Beiträgen dieses Tagungsbandes aufgegriffen. Sie setzen sich mit den zahlreichen und vielfältigen Facetten auseinander, die mit der Frage "Gute Regeln oder Wirtschaftslenkung" verbunden sind. Die Entwicklungen in der Europäischen Währungsunion und die Verhandlungen über geeignete Reaktionen auf die aufgetretenen Probleme lassen erwarten, dass uns genau diese Thematik auch in den kommenden Jahren begleiten wird.

    Beiträge zur deutschen Grammatik (Revised Edition) (2021)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This volume contains the complete collection of published and unpublished work on German grammar by Tilman N. Höhle. It consists of two parts. The first part is Topologische Felder, a book-length manuscript that was written in 1983 but was never finished nor published. It is a careful examination of the topological properties of German sentences, including a discussion of typological assumptions. The second part assembles all other published and unpublished papers by Höhle on German grammar. All of these papers were highly influential in German linguistics, in theoretical linguistics in general, and in a specific variant of theoretical linguistics, Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar. Topics covered are clause structure, constituent order, (verum) focus, word structure, the relationship between relative pronouns and verbs in V2, and the foundations of a theory of phonology in constraint-based grammar. This book is a revised version of http://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/149

    Ökonomische Analyse politischer Institutionen. (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Sind Liberalismus und Demokratie widersprüchliche Ideale? Ist das deutsche Parteiensystem effizient organisiert? Warum delegiert ein Staat hoheitliche Aufgaben auf private Anbieter? Ist es überhaupt rational, Steuern zu zahlen? Diese und andere Fragen thematisierten die Autoren und unterziehen Institutionen aus der Politik einer ökonomischen Analyse. Zunächst wird das Verhältnis von Demokratie und Liberalismus beleuchtet, zwischen denen ein Spannungsverhältnis zu bestehen scheint, wenn Vertreter des Liberalismus die persönliche Freiheit betonen und umgekehrt Befürworter demokratischer Entscheidungsfindung großen Wert auf Bürgersouveränität legen. Hieran anschließend wird das deutsche Parteiensystem betrachtet, das den Parteien einen umfassenden, aus einem formalen Legitimationsmonopol abgeleiteten Machtanspruch einräumt. Politische Karriere setzt deshalb zumeist Parteienmitgliedschaft voraus, was zwar hohe Disziplinierungswirkungen entfaltet, sich aber negativ auf Partizipation und Repräsentativität bei der Rekrutierung zu politischen Ämtern auswirkt. Ein weiteres Thema des Bandes sind hybride Regulierungen, die öffentliche und private Regulierungselemente miteinander verbinden, weil entweder die Inhaltssetzung oder die Durchsetzung von Regeln privat erfolgt. Sie resultieren aus einem Kosten-Nutzen-Kalkül, wobei hybride Lösungen vor allem bei transnationalen Transaktionen bessere Ergebnisse als rein staatliche oder rein private Regulierungen erzielt. Schließlich präsentiert der Band eine Lösung für das "tax payer puzzle" und erklärt, warum Steuerzahler weit weniger Steuern hinterziehen oder schwächer auf mögliche Strafandrohungen reagieren, als dies Erwartungsnutzenkalküle vorhersagen.

    Greece’s labyrinth of language (2021)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Fascinated with the heritage of ancient Greece, early modern intellectuals cultivated a deep interest in its language, the primary gateway to this long-lost culture, rehabilitated during the Renaissance. Inspired by the humanist battle cry “To the sources!” scholars took a detailed look at the Greek source texts in the original language and its different dialects. In so doing, they saw themselves confronted with major linguistic questions: Is there any order in this immense diversity? Can the Ancient Greek dialects be classified into larger groups? Is there a hierarchy among the dialects? Which dialect is the oldest? Where should problematic varieties such as Homeric and Biblical Greek be placed? How are the differences between the Greek dialects to be described, charted, and explained? What is the connection between the diversity of the Greek tongue and the Greek homeland? And, last but not least, are Greek dialects similar to the dialects of the vernacular tongues? Why (not)? This book discusses and analyzes the often surprising and sometimes contradictory early modern answers to these questions.

    Voice syncretism (2022)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This book provides a comprehensive typological account of voice syncretism, focusing on resemblance in formal verbal marking between two or more of the following seven voices: passives, antipassives, reflexives, reciprocals, anticausatives, causatives, and applicatives. It covers voice syncretism from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, and has been structured in a manner that facilitates convenient access to information about specific patterns of voice syncretism, their distribution and development. The book is based on a survey of voice syncretism in 222 geographically and genealogically diverse languages, but also thoroughly revisits previous research on the phenomenon. Voice syncretism is approached systematically by establishing and exploring patterns of voice syncretism that can logically be posited for the seven voices of focus in the book: 21 simplex patterns when one considers two of the seven voices sharing the same marking (e.g. reflexive-reciprocal syncretism), and 99 complex patterns when one considers more than two of the voices sharing the same marking (e.g. reflexive-reciprocal-anticausative syncretism). In a similar vein, 42 paths of development can logically be posited if it is assumed that voice marking in each of the seven voices can potentially develop one of the other six voice functions (e.g. reflexive voice marking developing a reciprocal function). This approach enables the discussion of both voice syncretism that has received considerable attention in the literature (notably middle syncretism involving the reflexive, reciprocal, anticausative and/or passive voices) and voice syncretism that has received little or no treatment in the past (including seemingly contradictory patterns such as causative-anticausative and passive-antipassive syncretism). In the survey almost all simplex patterns are attested in addition to seventeen complex patterns. In terms of diachrony, evidence is presented and discussed for twenty paths of development. The book strives to highlight the variation found in voice syncretism across the world’s languages and encourage further research into the phenomenon.

    Headedness and/or grammatical anarchy? (2023)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: In most grammatical models, hierarchical structuring and dependencies are considered as central features of grammatical structures, an idea which is usually captured by the notion of “head” or “headedness”. While in most models, this notion is more or less taken for granted, there is still much disagreement as to the precise properties of grammatical heads and the theoretical implications that arise of these properties. Moreover, there are quite a few linguistic structures that pose considerable challenges to the notion of “headedness”. Linking to the seminal discussions led in Zwicky (1985) and Corbett, Fraser, & Mc-Glashan (1993), this volume intends to look more closely upon phenomena that are considered problematic for an analysis in terms of grammatical heads. The aim of this book is to approach the concept of “headedness” from its margins. Thus, central questions of the volume relate to the nature of heads and the distinction between headed and non-headed structures, to the process of gaining and losing head status, and to the thought-provoking question as to whether grammar theory could do without heads at all. The contributions in this volume provide new empirical findings bearing on phenomena that challenge the conception of grammatical heads and/or discuss the notion of head/headedness and its consequences for grammatical theory in a more abstract way. The collected papers view the topic from diverse theoretical perspectives (among others HPSG, Generative Syntax, Optimality Theory) and different empirical angles, covering typological and corpus-linguistic accounts, with a focus on data from German.

    Zukunftsprobleme der Weltwirtschaftsordnung. (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Die Vollendung des fünften Jahrzehnts seit dem Zustandekommen der Vereinbarungen von »Bretton Woods« nahm der Wirtschaftspolitische Ausschuß der Gesellschaft für Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften (Verein für Socialpolitik) zum Anlaß, sich auf seiner Sitzung am 23. und 24. März 1994 in Mainz mit Problemen der Weltwirtschaftsordnung zu beschäftigen. Die auf dieser Tagung vorgelegten und diskutierten Referate werden in diesem Band publiziert. Im ersten Aufsatz zeigt C.W.A.M van Paridon - unter Rückgriff auf eine Studie des Zentralen Planungsamtes der Niederlande -, wie sehr die künftige Entwicklung der Weltwirtschaft nicht nur davon abhängt, ob es den drei großen Handelsblöcken gelingt, ihre internen Probleme zu bewältigen, sondern auch davon, inwieweit diese Triade in der Lage sein wird, dem schleichenden Protektionismus wirksam Einhalt zu gebieten und die Liberalisierung der Weltwirtschaftsordnung (weiter) voranzutreiben. Zur Frage, ob dies zu erwarten ist, kommt Norbert Berthold - vor allem mit Hilfe von Überlegungen der ökonomischen Theorie der Politik - zu einer eher pessimistischen Prognose. Optimistischere Erwartungen impliziert demgegenüber die kritische Würdigung der letzten GATT-Runde durch Josef Molsberger. Wie schwierig sich eine Erweiterung des Geltungsbereichs liberaler Regeln für den internationalen Handel auch auf den tertiären Sektor gestaltet, illustriert Jörn Kruse am Beispiel audiovisueller Dienstleistungen. Über die Zukunft der Weltwirtschaftsordnung entscheidet aber nicht allein die Gestaltung der Welthandelsordnung. Von vergleichbarer Bedeutung ist auch die internationale Währungsordnung. Diesen Aspekt thematisiert Norbert Kloten: Seine Darlegungen lassen vermuten, daß das nach dem Ende des Wechselkurssystems von Bretton Woods entstandene System frei flexibler Wechselkurse - zumal zwischen den drei großen Handelsblöcken - trotz seiner bekannten Schwachstellen in absehbarer Zeit kaum eine Änderung der geltenden Regeln erfahren wird; denn

    Description: In allen ausdifferenzierten Gesellschaften sind die Organisation und die Erfüllung kollektiver Aufgaben zu bewältigen. Die Delegation an spezialisierte Organisationen stellt eine institutionelle Antwort auf die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen dar. Bekannte Beispiele sind Notenbanken und Wettbewerbsbehörden. Unabhängige Organisationen sind mächtige Akteure, die nicht nur Wissens- und Spezialisierungsvorteile nutzen, sondern ihre Macht auch gegen die Interessen der Gesellschaftsmitglieder einsetzen oder einzelne Gruppen bevorzugen können. In demokratischen Systemen stellen sich nicht nur die Fragen der konkreten Abgrenzung der Aufgaben und der Ausgestaltung der Institutionen, sondern auch jene nach ihrer Legitimität. Die Eignung unabhängiger Institutionen, ihre Effektivität sowie die Prüfung der Notwendigkeit begleitender Regeln bilden den Inhalt dieses Tagungsbandes. Es erfolgt eine theoretische Aufarbeitung dieser Thematik, die Diskussion konzeptioneller Fragen sowie die Information über empirische Ergebnisse. Die Beiträge gewinnen durch die Entwicklungen rund um die Europäische Zentralbank eine besondere Aktualität.

    The emergence of American English as a discursive variety (2022)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Do speakers’ identity constructions influence the emergence of new varieties of a language? This question is at the heart of a debate about how the process of the emergence of postcolonial varieties of English can best be modeled. This volume contributes to the debate by linking it to models and theories proposed by anthropological linguists, sociolinguists and discourse linguists who view identity as a social and cultural phenomenon that is produced through linguistic and other social practices. Language is seen as essential for identity constructions because speakers use linguistic forms that index social ‘personae’ as well as specific social practices and values to convey an image of self to other speakers. Based on the theory of enregisterment that models the cultural and discursive process of the creation of indexical links between linguistic forms and social values, the argument is made that any model of the emergence of new varieties needs to differentiate carefully between a structural level and a discursive level. What emerges on the discursive level as a result of processes of enregisterment is a ‘discursive variety’. The volume illustrates how the emergence of a discursive variety can be systematically studied in a historical context by focusing on the enregisterment of American English as it can be observed in nineteenth-century U.S. newspapers. Using a discourse-linguistic methodological framework and two large databases containing close to 78 million newspaper articles, the study reveals a complex pattern of indexical links between the phonological forms /h/-dropping and -insertion, yod-dropping, a lengthened and backened bath vowel, non-rhoticity, a realization of prevocalic /r/ as a labiodental approximant as well as the lexical items baggage and pants on the one hand and social values centering around nationality, authenticity and non-specificity on the other hand. Qualitative analyses uncover the social personae associated with the linguistic forms (e.g. the American cowboy, the African American mammy and the ‘Anglo-maniac’ American dude), while quantitative analyses trace the development over time and show that the enregisterment processes were widespread and not restricted to a particular region.

    A typology of marked-S languages (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Case-systems all over the world exhibit striking similarities. In most lan- guages intransitive subjects (S) receives less overt marking than one of the two transitive arguments (agent-like A or patient-like P); the other one of these two arguments is usually encoded by the same form as S. In some languages the amount of overt marking is identical between S, A, and P. But hardly ever does the S argument receive more overt marking than A or P. Yet there are some languages that do not follow this general pattern. This book is about those languages that behave differently, the marked-S languages. Marked-S languages are well-known to be found in East Africa, where they occur in two different language families, Afro-Asiatic and Nilo-Sa- haran. They can also be found in North-Western America and the Pacific region. This book is the first investigation of marked S-languages that treats the phenomenon on a global scale. The study examines the functional distribution of the two main case- forms, the form used for S (S-case) and the case-form of the transitive ar- gument which receives less marking (the zero-case). It offers a very fine- grained perspective considering a wide range of constructions. The con- texts in which the case-marking patterns are investigated include nom- inal, existential and locational predication, subjects in special discourse function (e. g. focused constituents), subjects of passives and dependent clauses, as well as the forms used for addressing someone (vocative form) and for using a noun in isolation (citation form). Apart from the functional distribution of case forms, the formal means of marking are also considered. The main focus is on the synchronic de- scription and comparison of marked-S languages, but historical explana- tions for the unusual case-marking pattern are also discussed.

    Highly complex syllable structure (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: The syllable is a natural unit of organization in spoken language whose strongest cross-linguistic patterns are often explained in terms of a universal preference for the CV structure. Syllable patterns involving long sequences of consonants are both typologically rare and theoretically marginalized, with few approaches treating these as natural or unproblematic structures. This book is an investigation of the properties of languages with highly complex syllable patterns. The two aims are (i) to establish whether these languages share other linguistic features in common such that they constitute a distinct linguistic type, and (ii) to identify possible diachronic paths and natural mechanisms by which these patterns come about in the history of a language. These issues are investigated in a diversified sample of 100 languages, 25 of which have highly complex syllable patterns.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Definiteness has been a central topic in theoretical semantics since its modern foundation. However, despite its significance, there has been surprisingly scarce research on its cross-linguistic expression. With the purpose of contributing to filling this gap, the present volume gathers thirteen studies exploiting insights from formal semantics and syntax, typological and language specific studies, and, crucially, semantic fieldwork and cross-linguistic semantics, in order to address the expression and interpretation of definiteness in a diverse group of languages, most of them understudied.

    Syntax und Valenz: Zur Modellierung kohärenter und elliptischer Strukturen mit Baumadjunktionsgrammatiken (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Diese Arbeit untersucht das Verhältnis zwischen Syntaxmodell und lexikalischen Valenzeigenschaften anhand der Familie der Baumadjunktionsgrammatiken (TAG) und anhand der Phänomenbereiche Kohärenz und Ellipse. Wie die meisten prominenten Syntaxmodelle betreibt TAG eine Amalgamierung von Syntax und Valenz, die oft zu Realisierungsidealisierungen führt. Es wird jedoch gezeigt, * dass TAG dabei gewisse Realisierungsidealisierungen vermeidet und Diskontinuität bei Kohärenz direkt repräsentieren kann; * dass TAG trotzdem und trotz der im Vergleich zu GB, LFG und HPSG wesentlich eingeschränkten Ausdrucksstärke zu einer linguistisch sinnvollen Analyse kohärenter Konstruktionen herangezogen werden kann; * dass der TAG-Ableitungsbaum für die indirekte Gapping-Modellierung eine ausreichend informative Bezugsgröße darstellt. Für  die direkte Repräsentation von Gapping-Strukturen wird schließlich ein baumbasiertes Syntaxmodell, STUG, vorgeschlagen, in dem Syntax und Valenz getrennt, aber verlinkt sind.

    Wirtschaftspolitische Konsequenzen der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise. (2023)
    Duncker & Humblot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Noch ist die Frage nicht abschließend beantwortet und beantwortbar, ob dauerhafte Folgen der Krise bleiben werden, in den Verhaltensweisen der Menschen und in den wirtschaftlichen Strukturen und Indikatoren ebenso wie in der Bedeutung ökonomischer Theorien. Dies gilt auch für ihre wirtschaftspolitischen Konsequenzen. Denn die Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise war und ist nicht zuletzt auch eine wirtschaftspolitische Herausforderung. Die einzelnen Beiträge dieses Bandes zeigen die zahlreichen und vielfältigen wirtschaftspolitischen Aspekte auf, die mit der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise verbunden sind. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf den ordnungs- und industriepolitischen Konsequenzen, ein anderer auf den Konsequenzen für die öffentlichen Haushalte sowie in der Frage nach Exit-Strategien aus einer Wirtschaftspolitik, die an der Krise ansetzt. Dazu kommt, neben anderen Themen, eine Analyse der wirtschaftspolitischen Reaktionen der emerging markets. Heute lassen sich vor allem die ergriffenen Maßnahmen analysieren und deren kurzfristige Effekte bewerten, während sich die langfristigen Konsequenzen bislang einer abschließenden Einschätzung entziehen.

    Experimental investigations on the syntax and usage of fragments (2022)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This book investigates the syntax and usage of fragments (Morgan 1973), apparently subsentential utterances like "A coffee, please!" which fulfill the same communicative function as the corresponding full sentence "I'd like to have a coffee, please!". Even though such utterances are frequently used, they challenge the central role that has been attributed to the notion of sentence in linguistic theory, particularly from a semantic perspective. The first part of the book is dedicated to the syntactic analysis of fragments, which is investigated with experimental methods. Currently there are several competing theoretical analyses of fragments, which rely almost only on introspective data. The experiments presented in this book constitute a first systematic evaluation of some of their crucial predictions and, taken together, support an in situ ellipsis account of fragments, as has been suggested by Reich (2007). The second part of the book addresses the questions of why fragments are used at all, and under which circumstances they are preferred over complete sentences. Syntactic accounts impose licensing conditions on fragments, but they do not explain, why fragments are sometimes (dis)preferred provided that their usage is licensed. This book proposes an information-theoretic account of fragments, which predicts that the usage of fragments in constrained by a general tendency to distribute processing effort uniformly across the utterance. With respect to fragments, this leads to two predictions, which are empirically confirmed: Speakers tend towards omitting predictable words and they insert additional redundancy before unpredictable words.

    Advances in the study of Siouan languages and linguistics (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: " The Siouan family comprises some twenty languages, historically spoken across a broad swath of the central North American plains and woodlands, as well as in parts of the southeastern United States. In spite of its geographical extent and diversity, and the size and importance of several Siouan-speaking tribes, this family has received relatively little attention in the linguistic literature and many of the individual Siouan languages are severely understudied. This volume aims to make work on Siouan languages more broadly available and to encourage deeper investigation of the myriad typological, theoretical, descriptive, and pedagogical issues they raise. The 17 chapters in this volume present a broad range of current Siouan research, focusing on various Siouan languages, from a variety of linguistic perspectives: historical-genetic, philological, applied, descriptive, formal/generative, and comparative/typological. The editors' preface summarizes characteristic features of the Siouan family, including head-final and ""verb-centered"" syntax, a complex system of verbal affixes including applicatives and subject-possessives, head-internal relative clauses, gendered speech markers, stop-systems including ejectives, and a preference for certain prosodic and phonotactic patterns. The volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor Robert L. Rankin, a towering figure in Siouan linguistics throughout his long career, who passed away in February of 2014. "

    Advances in formal Slavic linguistics 2018 (Volume 4) (2021)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Advances in Formal Slavic Linguistics 2018 offers a selection of articles that were prepared on the basis of talks presented at the conference Formal Description of Slavic Languages (FDSL 13) or at the parallel Workshop on the Semantics of Noun Phrases, which were held on December 5–7, 2018, at the University of Göttingen. The volume covers a wide array of topics, such as situation relativization with adverbial clauses (causation, concession, counterfactuality, condition, and purpose), clause-embedding by means of a correlate, agreeing vs. transitive ‘need’ constructions, clitic doubling, affixation and aspect, evidentiality and mirativity, pragmatics coming with the particle li, uniqueness, definiteness, maximal interpretation (exhaustivity), kinds and subkinds, bare nominals, multiple determination, quantification, demonstratives, possessives, complex measure nouns, and the NP/DP parameter. The set of object languages comprises Russian, Czech, Polish, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbo-Croatian, and Torlak Serbian. The numerous topics addressed demonstrate the importance of Slavic linguistics. The original analyses prove that substantial progress has been made in major fields of research.

    New perspectives on cohesion and coherence (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: "The contributions to this volume investigate relations of cohesion and coherence as well as instantiations of discourse phenomena and their interaction with information structure in multilingual contexts. Some contributions concentrate on procedures to analyze cohesion and coherence from a corpus-linguistic perspective. Others have a particular focus on textual cohesion in parallel corpora that include both originals and translated texts. Additionally, the papers in the volume discuss the nature of cohesion and coherence with implications for human and machine translation. The contributors are experts on discourse phenomena and textuality who address these issues from an empirical perspective. The chapters in this volume are grounded in the latest research making this book useful to both experts of discourse studies and computational linguistics, as well as advanced students with an interest in these disciplines. We hope that this volume will serve as a catalyst to other researchers and will facilitate further advances in the development of cost-effective annotation procedures, the application of statistical techniques for the analysis of linguistic phenomena and the elaboration of new methods for data interpretation in multilingual corpus linguistics and machine translation."

    Proto-Fula–Sereer (2022)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This monograph proposes a reconstruction of the lexicon, the morphophonology and the noun class system of Proto-Fula–Sereer (~3500 BP). Fula–Sereer represents one of the six branches of the North-Atlantic group. North-Atlantic, together with the Bak group of languages, forms the Atlantic family, which represents a separate branch within the Niger-Congo macro-family. The lexical reconstruction of the proto-language of a group such as Fula–Sereer requires the solution of a number of questions that are of interest for the general theory of comparative studies. These questions deal with the morphophonological mutations of root-initial consonants. Since consonant mutations were structured into morphological paradigms already at the Proto-Fula–Sereer stage, the evolution of initial consonantism in Fula and Sereer was based not on regular phonetic changes, but on massive irregular analogous changes. The reconstruction of Proto-Fula–Sereer consonant mutations is given in Chapter 2. In Chapters 3-6 the author proposes a reconstruction of the initial consonants. Next, the reconstruction of final consonants (Chapter 7) as well as vowels (Chapter 8) is given. In Chapter 9, taking in account the lexical cognates, the long-standing problem of the PFS noun class reconstruction is rediscussed. The Appendix provides a list of ~720 lexical reconstructions and their approximate meanings.

    Wettbewerb in der Energiewirtschaft. (2023)
    Duncker & Humblot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Energiemärkte sind längst Dauerbrenner der öffentlichen wie wissenschaftlichen Regulierungsdebatte geworden. Immer wieder wird die Frage nach effektivem Wettbewerb in der Energieversorgung kontrovers beantwortet, nicht zuletzt unter dem Eindruck steigender Energiepreise. Neben einer rein statischen Betrachtung des Netzregulierungsproblems und möglichem Marktmachtmissbrauch bei der Strombepreisung kommen jedoch zunehmend auch Fragen dynamischer Effizienz (Kraftwerksneuinvestitionen u. a.) in den Fokus der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion. Der vorliegende Band vereinigt daher beide Perspektiven - statische Fragen der Energiepreisbildung und möglicher Kollusion infolge der institutionellen und technischen Randbedingungen des Strom- und Gaswettbewerbs sowie den dynamischen Aspekt der Weiterentwicklung von Erzeugungs- und Netzstufe. Die Beiträge des Bandes - allesamt schriftliche Fassungen der im März 2008 in Kiel auf der Jahrestagung 2008 der Arbeitsgruppe Wettbewerb des Wirtschaftspolitischen Ausschusses im Verein für Socialpolitik gehaltenen Referate - spannen den Bogen von grundsätzlichen Fragen einer rationalen Regulierung im Spannungsfeld zwischen Kartell- und Regulierungsbehörden hin zu konkreten politischen Umsetzungsvorschlägen.

    The Ik language: Dictionary and grammar sketch (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This book is a dictionary and grammar sketch of Ik, one of the three Kuliak (Rub) languages spoken in the beautiful Karamoja region of northeastern Uganda. It is the lexicographic sequel to A grammar of Ik (Icé-tód): Northeast Uganda’s last thriving Kuliak language (Schrock 2014). The present volume includes an Ik-English dictionary with roughly 8,700 entries, followed by a reversed English-Ik index. These two main sections are then supplemented with an outline of Ik grammar that is comprehensive in its coverage of topics and written in a simple style, using standard linguistic terminology in a way that is accessible to interested non-linguists as well. This book may prove useful for language preservation and development among the Ik people, as a reference tool for non-Ik learners of the language, and as a source of data, not only for the comparative study of Kuliak but also the wider Afroasiatic and Nilo-Saharan language families.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This book presents a synchronic grammar of the southern dialects of Yauyos, an extremely endangered Quechuan language spoken in the Peruvian Andes. As the language is highly synthetic, the grammar focuses principally on morphology; a longer section is dedicated to the language's unusual evidential system. The grammar's 1400 examples are drawn from a 24-hour corpus of transcribed recordings collected in the course of the documentation of the language.

    Sound structure and sound change (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Research in linguistics, as in most other scientific domains, is usually approached in a modular way – narrowing the domain of inquiry in order to allow for increased depth of study. This is necessary and productive for a topic as wide-ranging and complex as human language. However, precisely because language is a complex system, tied to perception, learning, memory, and social organization, the assumption of modularity can also be an obstacle to understanding language at a deeper level. This book examines the consequences of enforcing non-modularity along two dimensions: the temporal, and the cognitive. Along the temporal dimension, synchronic and diachronic domains are linked by the requirement that sound changes must lead to viable, stable language states. Along the cognitive dimension, sound change and variation are linked to speech perception and production by requiring non-trivial transformations between acoustic and articulatory representations.

    Institutionelle Grundlagen effizienter Wirtschaftspolitik. (2023)
    Duncker & Humblot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: In der scientific community der Ökonomen wird seit längerem der schwindende Einfluss der Volkswirtschaftslehre auf die praktische Wirtschaftspolitik beklagt. Diese Klage ist nicht neu, aber es gibt Indizien, die zu bestätigen scheinen, dass die Kluft zwischen ökonomischer Akademia und angewandter Wirtschaftspolitik sich vertieft. Jedenfalls bildete dieser Eindruck den allgemeinen Diskussionshintergrund für das Generalthema "Institutionelle Grundlagen effizienter Wirtschaftspolitik", das auf der Jahrestagung 2004 des Wirtschaftspolitischen Ausschusses im Verein für Socialpolitik vom 16. bis 18. März in Münster behandelt wurde und deren Referate in diesem Band dokumentiert werden. Ohne wissenschaftliche Ökonomie verliert die praktische Wirtschaftspolitik die Orientierung hin zu langfristiger Effizienz für die Gesellschaft. Wissenschaft, die öffentlich finanzierte zumal, hat deshalb eine Bringschuld gegenüber der Öffentlichkeit. Ziel der wissenschaftlichen Ökonomik sollte es deshalb sein, auf die praktische Wirtschaftspolitik direkt und indirekt Einfluss zu nehmen. Dazu bedarf es bestimmter institutioneller Voraussetzungen wie zum Beispiel der Bedingungen, unter denen wissenschaftliche Politikberatung erfolgt. Warum bedienen sich die Regierenden in Deutschland trotz einer leistungsfähigen wissenschaftlichen Infrastruktur - Wissenschaftliche Beiräte, Forschungsinstitute, Universitäten - für die Politikberatung zunehmend kommerzieller Beratungsfirmen und Ad-hoc-Kommissionen, die eher kurzfristorientierte Konsenslösungen denn langfristorientierte Sachlösungen anbieten? Politikberatung, wie sie in Deutschland und in anderen Staaten praktiziert wird, bildet deshalb einen Themenschwerpunkt dieses Bandes. Dabei werden auch sehr persönliche Erfahrungen einzelner Autoren aus der Praxis ihrer langjährigen wissenschaftlichen Politikberatung dokumentiert. Darüber hinaus werden die Voraussetzungen für institutionelle und wirtschaftspolitische Reformen aufgezeigt. Der Band versteht sich als Beitrag zur Überwindung der Kommunikationsschwierigkeiten zwischen ökonomischer Wissenschaft und praktischer Wirtschaftspolitik.

    A lexicalist account of argument structure (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Currently, there are two prominent schools in linguistics: Minimalism (Chomsky) and Construction Grammar (Goldberg, Tomasello). Minimalism comes with the claim that our linguistic capabilities consist of an abstract, binary combinatorial operation (Merge) and a lexicon. Most versions of Construction Grammar assume that language consists of flat phrasal schemata that contribute their own meaning and may license additional arguments. This book examines a variant of Lexical Functional Grammar, which is lexical in principle but was augmented by tools that allow for the description of phrasal constructions in the Construction Grammar sense. These new tools include templates that can be used to model inheritance hierarchies and a resource driven semantics. The resource driven semantics makes it possible to reach the effects that lexical rules had, for example remapping of arguments, by semantic means. The semantic constraints can be evaluated in the syntactic component, which is basically similar to the delayed execution of lexical rules. So this is a new formalization that might be suitable to provide solutions to longstanding problems that are not available for other formalizations.

    The First World War as a Caesura? (2023)
    Duncker & Humblot | Duncker & Humblot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: During the phases of mobile warfare, the ethnically and religiously very heterogeneous population in the border regions of the multi-ethnic empires suffered in particular. Even if the real military situation in the course of the war hardly gave cause for concern, the image of disloyal ethnic and national minorities was widespread. This was particularly the case when ethnic groups lived on both sides of the border and social and political tensions had already established themselves along ethnic or religious lines of conflict before the war. Displacements, deportations and mass violence were the result. The genocide of the Armenian population is the most extreme example of this development. This anthology examines the border regions of the Ottoman, Russian and Habsburg empires during the First World War with regard to radical population policy and genocidal violence from a comparative perspective in order to draw a more precise picture of escalating and deescalating factors.

    Konjunktur, Wachstum und Wirtschaftspolitik im Zeichen der New Economy. (2023)
    Duncker & Humblot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Das Phänomen der sogenannten New Economy wird seit längerem unter verschiedenartigen Aspekten diskutiert. Dabei ist der Begriff nicht eindeutig definiert und wird zuweilen mit den Bezeichnungen Internet Economy, Network Economy, Digital Economy, E-Commerce oder auch Information Economy assoziiert. Gemeinsame Bestandteile aller Begriffe sind neue Technologien, vor allem Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IT), sowie neues Wissen und Humankapital. Manche sagen, dass das, was unter New Economy subsumiert wird, im Prinzip gar nicht neu sei. Gängig ist aber auch die Auffassung, dass die New Economy sich von der "Old Economy" durch mindestens drei Elemente unterscheidet: (1) IT als neue dominierende Technologie, (2) Information als zunehmend wichtiges Produkt, (3) erhöhte Produktivitäts- und Wachstumssteigerungen durch (1) und (2). Produktivitäts- und Wachstumssteigerungen als Folge von IT sowie von Information als Produkt ergießen sich mehr oder weniger über alle Sektoren einer Volkswirtschaft. Damit wird IT zur Querschnittstechnologie, die national wie international wohlstandsfördernde Effekte hat. Es gibt eine Vielzahl von speziellen Fragestellungen der New Economy, die wirtschaftstheoretisch und wirtschaftspolitisch von Interesse sind. Zentral ist die Frage, ob die ökonomischen Gesetzmäßigkeiten, wie wir sie aus der Old Economy kennen, durch die New Economy außer Kraft gesetzt werden: Sind z. B. Wachstumstrends steiler, und fallen Wachstumsschwankungen in der New Economy geringer aus als in der Old Economy? Sind Geld- und Fiskalpolitik neu zu justieren? Müssen Wettbewerbs- und Ordnungspolitik revidiert werden? Die vielfältigen Fragen, die im vorliegenden Band behandelt werden, spannen einen großen thematischen Bogen. Sie dokumentieren die Referate, die auf der Jahrestagung 2002 des Wirtschaftspolitischen Ausschusses des Vereins für Socialpolitik vom 12. bis 14. März 2002 in Linz (Österreich) gehalten wurden. Bei aller Verschiedenartigkeit der Fragestellungen und Ergebnisse wird deutlich, dass die ökonomischen Gesetzmäßigkeiten der Old Economy keineswegs passé sind.

    Governance in der Wirtschaftspolitik. (2023)
    Duncker & Humblot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Der Begriff Governance ist in den letzten Jahren fast ein Modewort geworden - oft benutzt, aber zumeist nicht klar definiert und daher recht unterschiedlich interpretierbar. Obwohl er als wissenschaftlicher Terminus aus den Wirtschaftswissenschaften stammt - im Wesentlichen wird er auf Ronald Coase und Oliver E. Williamson zurückgeführt - spielte er zunächst vor allem in den Politikwissenschaften eine sichtbare Rolle. Heutzutage ist er aber auch aus der wirtschaftspolitischen Diskussion nicht mehr wegzudenken. Governance umfasst dabei zum einen Regelungsstrukturen, die sich auf Institutionen und Akteurskonstellationen beziehen, zum anderen aber auch formelle und informelle Regeln sowie Anreizstrukturen in Hinblick auf ihre Bedeutung für den Koordinationsprozess wirtschaftlicher Aktivitäten. Eine klare und eindeutige Begriffsabgrenzung in der Art einer Lehrbuchdefinition fehlt jedoch nach wie vor. Diese zunehmende, aber oft unspezifizierte Verwendung des Begriffs Governance in der wirtschaftspolitischen Forschung nahm der Wirtschaftspolitische Ausschuss des Vereins für Socialpolitik zum Anlass, für seine diesjährige Jahrestagung, die vom 24. - 26. März 2009 in Leipzig stattfand, das Rahmenthema "Governance in der Wirtschaftspolitik" zu wählen. Der hier vorliegende Tagungsband beinhaltet die schriftlichen Fassungen der vorgestellten Beiträge. Es werden darin verschiedene Governance-Begriffe und Governance-Konzepte abgegrenzt, konkrete Governance-Probleme dargestellt und die Rolle bestimmter Governancestrukturen vor dem Hintergrund verschiedener ökonomischer Rahmenbedingungen untersucht. Der vorliegende Tagungsband soll somit helfen, den Begriff Governance in seinen verschiedenen Facetten und in seiner Bedeutung für wirtschaftspolitische Fragestellungen zu erfassen.

    German(ic) in language contact (2021)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: It is well-known that contact between speakers of different languages or varieties leads to dynamics in many respects. From a grammatical perspective, especially contact between closely related languages/varieties fosters contact-induced innovations. The evaluation of such innovations reveals speakers’ attitudes and is in turn an important aspect of the sociolinguistic dynamics linked to language contact. In this volume, we assemble studies on such settings where typologically congruent languages are in contact, i.e. language contact within the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family. Languages involved include Afrikaans, Danish, English, Frisian, (Low and High) German, and Yiddish. The main focus is on constellations where a variety of German is involved (which is why we use the term ‘German(ic)’ in this book).

    Subatomic quantification (Volume 6) (2021)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: The goal of this book is to explore the relationship between the cognitive notion of parthood and various grammatical devices expressing this concept in natural language. The monograph aims to investigate syntactic constructions and lexical categories, e.g., partitives, whole-adjectives, and multipliers, encoding different kinds of part-whole structures both in Slavic and non-Slavic languages. It is envisioned to inspire radical rethinking of the ontology of models accounting for nominal semantics. Specifically, it provides novel evidence for a mereotopological approach to meaning, i.e., a theory of wholes that captures not only parthood but also topological relations holding between parts. This evidence comes from the phenomenon of subatomic quantification, i.e., quantification over parts of referents of concrete count nouns.

    Description: Muss ökonomische Theorie evolutorisch sein, weil auch ihr Erkenntnisobjekt »wesensmäßig« evolutorisch ist? Der Tagungsband des Ausschusses für die Geschichte der Wirtschaftswissenschaften geht der dogmenhistorischen Einordnung des Themas »Ökonomie und Evolution« nach. Die Beiträge liefern einen Überblick zur Geschichte der Evolutionstheorie von der Zeit der Klassik bis in die Gegenwart und untersuchen die Bedeutung grundlegender biologischer Konzepte des evolutorischen Wandels für die ökonomische Entwicklung. Thematisiert werden der makroökonomische Strukturwandel, die Bedingungen für Entwicklungsbrüche und die Möglichkeiten einer evolutorischen Interpretation der Modelle des ›Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium‹. Die Entwicklungstheorie Schumpeters wird in den Kontext vitalistischer Ansätze in der Philosophie gestellt. Der normative Geltungsanspruch von Hayeks Theorie der Marktevolution wird aus der Perspektive einer liberalen politischen Theorie geprüft.»Economics and Evolution« This conference volume of the German Association on the History of Economic Thought gives a survey on the history of evolution theory, explores the importance of biological concepts for evolutionary change in economics, patterns of structural change, development traps, and suggests an evolutionary interpretation of modern equilibrium models. Further chapters cast a philosophical perspective on Schumpeter‘s theory of development und inspect normative claims of Hayek’s theory of market evolution.

    Sound change, priming, salience (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This volume investigates the realisation and perception of four phonological variables in Liverpool English (Scouse), with a special focus on their sociolinguistic salience. Younger speakers’ speech is found to be more local, but only for the two salient variables in the sample (NURSE-SQUARE and /k/ lenition), which appear to carry considerable amounts of covert prestige. Local variants of non-salient happy-tensing and velar nasal plus, on the other hand, are actually found to be receding, so at least to a certain extent Scouse also seems to be participating in regional dialect levelling. The importance of salience is also obvious in the perception data, with only the two highly salient stereotypes generating robust effects in a social priming experiment (albeit in the unexpected direction). These results indicate that the investigated variables differ measurably not only in their use in production, but also in terms of how central they are to mental sociolinguistic representations of Scouse. They also tell us more about the way we process, store, and (re-)use sociolinguistic variation in perception. By defining likely contexts for significant priming effects they might finally even help in coming up with a more elaborate “theory of priming” in the realm of sociophonetics.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Eyetracking has become a powerful tool in scientific research and has finally found its way into disciplines such as applied linguistics and translation studies, paving the way for new insights and challenges in these fields. The aim of the first International Conference on Eyetracking and Applied Linguistics (ICEAL) was to bring together researchers who use eyetracking to empirically answer their research questions. It was intended to bridge the gaps between applied linguistics, translation studies, cognitive science and computational linguistics on the one hand and to further encourage innovative research methodologies and data triangulation on the other hand. These challenges are also addressed in this proceedings volume: While the studies described in the volume deal with a wide range of topics, they all agree on eyetracking as an appropriate methodology in empirical research.

    On this and other worlds (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: "This edited volume offers a collection of twelve interlinear texts reflecting the vast linguistic diversity of Amazonia as well as the rich verbal arts and oral literature traditions of Amazonian peoples. Contributions to the volume come from a variety of geographic regions and represent the Carib, Jê, Tupi, East Tukano, Nadahup, and Pano language families, as well as three linguistic isolates. The selected texts exemplify a variety of narrative styles recounting the origins of constellations, crops, and sacred cemeteries, and of travel to worlds beyond death. We hear tales of tricksters and of encounters between humans and other beings, learn of battles between enemies, and gain insight into history and the indigenous perspective of creation, cordiality and confrontation. The contributions to this volume are the result of research efforts conducted since 2000, and as such, exemplify rapidly expanding investment and interest in documenting native Amazonian voices. They moreover demonstrate the collaborative efforts of linguists, anthropologists, and indigenous leaders, storytellers, and researchers to study and preserve Amazonian languages and cultures. Each chapter offers complete interlinear analysis as well as ample commentary on both linguistic and cultural aspects, appealing to a wide audience, including linguists, historians, anthropologists, and other social scientists. This collection is the first of its type, constituting a significant contribution to focused study of Amazonian linguistic diversity and a relevant addition to our broader knowledge of Amerindian languages and cosmologies."

    Information-theoretic causal inference of lexical flow (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This volume seeks to infer large phylogenetic networks from phonetically encoded lexical data and contribute in this way to the historical study of language varieties. The technical step that enables progress in this case is the use of causal inference algorithms. Sample sets of words from language varieties are preprocessed into automatically inferred cognate sets, and then modeled as information-theoretic variables based on an intuitive measure of cognate overlap. Causal inference is then applied to these variables in order to determine the existence and direction of influence among the varieties. The directed arcs in the resulting graph structures can be interpreted as reflecting the existence and directionality of lexical flow, a unified model which subsumes inheritance and borrowing as the two main ways of transmission that shape the basic lexicon of languages.

    Communication and content (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Communication and content presents a comprehensive and foundational account of meaning based on new versions of situation theory and game theory. The literal and implied meanings of an utterance are derived from first principles assuming little more than the partial rationality of interacting agents. New analyses of a number of diverse phenomena – a wide notion of ambiguity and content encompassing phonetics, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and beyond, vagueness, convention and conventional meaning, indeterminacy, universality, the role of truth in communication, semantic change, translation, Frege’s puzzle of informative identities – are developed. Communication, speaker meaning, and reference are defined. Frege’s context and compositional principles are generalized and reconciled in a fixed-point principle, and a detailed critique of Grice, several aspects of Lewis, and some aspects of the Romantic conception of meaning are offered.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This book contains a study on fictional, imitated language. In detailed analyses it shows how Jewish figures were characterized through their language in German fiction (18th until early 20th century). It discloses which structures of this fictional language originate from the Yiddish language and which are reflexes of (the author's) orality. At the same time the study contains a comprehensive description of Western Yiddish and its grammatical structures, which are compared with German and Eastern Yiddish varieties.
    Description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Strukturen fiktionaler, imitierender Sprache. Am Beispiel detaillierter Analysen der sprachlichen Charakterisierung jüdischer Figuren der deutschsprachigen Literatur des 18., 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts legt die Arbeit offen, welche Strukturen die jiddische Sprachrealität widerspiegeln und welche als Reflexe der (zumeist autoreigenen) Mündlichkeit gelten können. Zugleich stellt die Untersuchung eine umfangreiche grammatische Darstellung des im deutschsprachigen Raum bis ins frühe 20. Jahrhundert hinein verbreiteten Westjiddischen dar, dessen Strukturen sie mit denen deutscher und ostjiddischer Varietäten vergleicht.

    A grammar of Papuan Malay (2021)
    Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This book presents an in-depth linguistic description of Papuan Malay, a non-standard variety of Malay. The language is spoken in coastal West Papua which covers the western part of the island of New Guinea. The study is based on sixteen hours of recordings of spontaneous narratives and conversations between Papuan Malay speakers, recorded in the Sarmi area on the northeast coast of West Papua. Papuan Malay is the language of wider communication and the first or second language for an ever-increasing number of people of the area. While Papuan Malay is not officially recognized and therefore not used in formal government or educational settings or for religious preaching, it is used in all other domains, including unofficial use in formal settings, and, to some extent, in the public media. After a general introduction to the language, its setting, and history, this grammar discusses the following topics, building up from smaller grammatical constituents to larger ones: phonology, word formation, noun and prepositional phrases, verbal and nonverbal clauses, non-declarative clauses, and conjunctions and constituent combining. Of special interest to linguists, typologists, and Malay specialists are the following in-depth analyses and descriptions: affixation and its productivity across domains of language choice, reduplication and its gesamtbedeutung, personal pronouns and their adnominal uses, demonstratives and locatives and their extended uses, and adnominal possessive relations and their non- canonical uses. This study provides a starting point for Papuan Malay language development efforts and a point of comparison for further studies on other Malay varieties.

    Holisms of communication (2021)
    Language Science Press | Language Science Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: A central pillar of contemporary communication research is the analysis of filmed interactions between people. The techniques employed in such analysis first took on a recognizably modern form in the 1970s, but their roots go back to the earliest days of motion picture technology in the late nineteenth century. This book presents original essays accompanied by written responses which together create a dialogue exploring early efforts at audio-visual sequence analysis and their common goal to capture the "whole" of the communicative situation. The first three chapters of this volume look at the film-based research of Gestalt psychologists in Berlin as well as psychologists in the orbit of Karl and Charlotte Bühler in Vienna in the first decades of the twentieth century. Most of these figures – along with many other Central European scholars of this era – were driven into exile in the United States after the rise of National Socialism in the 1930s. This scientific migration led to the cross-pollination of communication studies in America, an outcome visible in the leading project in interaction research of the mid-twentieth century, the Natural History of an Interview. The following two chapters examine this project in its historical context. The volume closes with a critical edition of a treasure from the archives: the transcript of a speech delivered by Ray Birdwhistell, a key participant in the Natural History of an Interview project and founder of kinesics.

    Dative constructions in Romance and beyond (2021)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This book offers a comprehensive account of dative structures across languages –with an important, though not exclusive, focus on the Romance family. As is well-known, datives play a central role in a variety of structures, ranging from ditransitive constructions to cliticization of indirect objects and differentially marked direct objects, and including also psychological predicates, possessor or causative constructions, among many others. As interest in all these topics has increased significantly over the past three decades, this volume provides an overdue update on the state of the art. Accordingly, the chapters in this volume account for both widely discussed patterns of dative constructions as well as those that are relatively unknown.

    Globalisierung der Wirtschaft: Ursachen - Formen - Konsequenzen. (2023)
    Duncker & Humblot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Seit langem wächst der Welthandel deutlich stärker als das Weltsozialprodukt. Ein zunehmender Teil dieses Handels besteht dabei aus dem Austausch von Dienstleistungen. Auch die Direktinvestitionen, durch die ausländische Investoren in den jeweiligen Zielländern Unternehmen gründen, erwerben, modernisieren oder erweitern, nehmen seit Mitte der 80er Jahre erheblich rascher zu als die Weltproduktion. Beleg für den hohen Grad und das zügige Fortschreiten der "Vernetzung" der Weltwirtschaft ist schließlich die geradezu ungestüme Dynamik, mit der sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten die internationalen Geld- und Kapitalmärkte entwickelt haben. Für die Träger der nationalen Wirtschaftspolitik ergeben sich aus diesem Prozeß der Globalisierung bedeutsame Konsequenzen. Mit ihnen befaßte sich die Jahrestagung 1998 des Wirtschaftspolitischen Ausschusses des Vereins für Socialpolitik, die vom 31. März bis 2. April 1998 in Hamburg stattfand und deren Referate hiermit vorgelegt werden. Ungeachtet der unterschiedlichen Fragestellungen dieser Beiträge und ungeachtet auch der Unterschiede in Ansatz und Methode stimmen doch alle Autoren in der Auffassung grundsätzlich überein, daß der Prozeß der Globalisierung nicht vornehmlich als Bedrohung gesehen werden sollte, sondern daß er dort sehr attraktive Chancen zur Wohlfahrtssteigerung eröffnet, wo es gelingt, die sich mit diesem Prozeß verbindenden Anpassungserfordernisse überzeugend zu meistern.
