Speakers and Structures in Language Contact
This book is a collection of innovative studies on language contact. It contains novel works on unexplored issues related to language contact in different settings and aims to contribute multi-perspective insights to the current state of the art on language contact. Novel approaches to contact-related change, variation, attrition, and emergence of new varieties are explored from the lens of sociolinguistic, typological, synchronic, and diachronic perspectives. The contact settings vary from official and majority languages to minority, endangered and/or non-official varieties in different parts of the world.
Grammatical systems without language borders
Current research in grammatical analysis and sociolinguistics points to two core characteristics of language that seem incommensurable at first sight: (1) research on linguistic structure indicates internal organisation and coherence, and the workings and interactions of distinct grammatical systems, but (2) sociolinguistic research suggests that language borders and bound “languages” are counterfactual social constructs that cannot capture the diversity and fluidity of actual language use. This seems to constitute something like a “quantum-linguistic” paradox: language systems aren’t real (they are just ideological constructions), but at the same time, they are a reflection of act...

Particularly in the humanities and social sciences, festschrifts are a popular forum for discussion. The IJBF provides quick and easy general access to these important resources for scholars and students. The festschrifts are located in state and regional libraries and their bibliographic details are recorded. Since 1983, more than 659,000 articles from more than 30,500 festschrifts, published between 1977 and 2011, have been catalogued.
Understanding Meaning and Knowledge Representation
Today, there is a need to develop natural language processing (NLP) systems from deeper linguistic approaches. Although there are many NLP applications which can work without taking into account any linguistic theory, this type of system can only be described as “deceptively intelligent”. On the other hand, however, those computer programs requiring some language comprehension capability should be grounded in a robust linguistic model if they are to display the expected behaviour. The purpose of this book is to examine and discuss recent work in meaning and knowledge representation within theoretical linguistics and cognitive linguistics, particularly research which can be reused to model NLP applications.
Sprache und Identität – Philologische Einblicke
Die inflationäre Verwendung des Begriffs „Identität“ führt zu einer Verwischung des Sprachgebrauchs und einer fortschreitenden Metaphorisierung des Terminus. Diese Sinnkonstruktion – mit ihrem die Komplexität reduzierenden Charakter und ihrer gesellschaftlichen Aussagekraft – wird im vorliegenden Band in einer Reihe philologischer Einblicke von Sprach-, Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaftlern aus disziplin- und länderübergreifender Perspektive analysiert. Dabei wird die wechselseitige Beeinflussung von Sprache und Identität deutlich. Zudem kommen Forschungsdesiderate zu diesem mehrdimensionalen Problem zum Vorschein.
Paul Celan Today
Marking Paul Celan's 100th birthday and the 50th anniversary of his death, this volume endeavours to answer the following question: why does Celan still matter today – more than ever perhaps? And why should he continue to matter tomorrow? In other words, the volume explores and assesses the enduring significance of Celan's life and œuvre in and for the 21st century. Boasting cutting-edge research by international scholars together with original contributions by contemporary artists and writers, this book attests to, on the one hand, the extent to which large swathes of contemporary philosophy, poetics, literary scholarship, and aesthetics have been indebted to Celan's legacy and are simply unthinkable without it, and, on the other hand, to the malleability, adaptability, breadth and depth of Celan's poetics, which, like the music of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, or Queen, is reborn and rediscovered with every new generation.
Reingegrätscht
Fußball wird nicht nur gespielt und geschaut, über Fußball wird auch gesprochen und geschrieben. Woche für Woche füllt er Medien und Alltagsgespräche und ist für viele Menschen nicht nur ein Zeitvertreib, sondern beziehungs- und identitätsstiftend. Es ist deshalb kein Wunder, dass sich auch die Sprachwissenschaft für das Kulturphänomen Fußball interessiert. Denn die Sprache des Fußballs, wie sie von Spieler:innen, Trainer:innen, Journalist:innen und natürlich den Fans gepflegt wird, ist ein ausgezeichneter Trainingsplatz für die unterschiedlichsten linguistischen Teildisziplinen. Zur Fußballeuropameisterschaft der Männer, die 2024 in Deutschland stattfindet, hat Simon Meier-Vieracker ein Team von fußballinteressierten Sprach wissenschaftler: innen zusammengestellt, die das Feld der linguistischen Fußballforschung vermessen. Herausgekommen ist ein Buch, so vielfältig wie die Sprache des Fußballs selbst. Ein Tiki-Taka aktueller sprachwissenschaftlicher Fragen, das alle begeistern wird, die Sprache oder Fußball mögen - und vielleicht sogar beides. Einfach überragend!
Körper im höfischen Gespräch
The extensive collection of correspondences of Elisabeth Charlotte, Duchesse d’Orléans (known as Liselotte von der Pfalz), sister-in law of Louis XIV, is one of the few remaining sources with exceptional insight into the life at the court of the Sun King. Her letters contain numerous lively and witty descriptions of the appearances and bodily practices of the contemporaries she met there – descriptions that range from subtle anecdotes to scatological jokes. Especially the latter, sometimes paired with strong language, have led various scholars to believe that her writing style was not in accordance with the refined communication culture at the court. The perception of Liselotte’s writ...
Immergersi nel flusso
Questa raccolta di scritti di uno dei massimi musicisti e pensatori russi degli ultimi decenni, che qui presentiamo per la prima volta al lettore italiano, offre un saggio dell’originalità di pensiero di questo artista totale. Superando ogni visione ristretta del processo compositivo, egli descrive l’esperienza creativa della forma sonora come “ingresso nel flusso eterno della musica universale”. Le due anime di Vladimir Martynov, quella mistica e tradizionale e quella moderna, calata nella sperimentazione più estrema del secondo Novecento, si rivelano qui sia negli scritti che nei disegni completamente inediti in Italia. Questi ultimi scaturiscono da un processo meditativo ininterrotto che illustra bene il modus operandi di questo Maestro d’altri tempi, che scava in sé alla ricerca delle radici arcaiche del processo creativo riaffermando la funzione magica e trasformativa della musica.
