Reference
This book presents the most important problems of reference and considers their solution. It presupposes no technical knowledge, presents analyses from first principles, illustrates every stage with examples, and is written with verve and clarity. This is the ideal introduction to reference for students of linguistics and philosophy of language.
Restriction and Saturation
With this study of Maori and Chamorro, Sandra Chung and William Ladusaw make a valuable contribution to the growing literature on the formal semantic analysis of non-Indo-European languages. Their ultimate focus is on how the study of these Austronesian languages can illuminate the alternatives for semantic interpretation and their interaction with syntactic structure. Revisiting the analysis of indefiniteness in terms of restricted free variables, they claim that some varieties of indefinites are better analyzed by taking restriction and saturation to be fundamental semantic operations.Chapters examine the general topic of modes of composition (including predicate restriction and syntactic versus semantic saturation), types of indefinite determiners in Maori, and object incorporation in Chamorro (including discussions of the extra object and restriction without saturation). The authors' goal is that the two case studies they offer, and their larger focus on modes of composition, will contribute to a broader account of the interaction of form, position, and semantic interpretation.

Die sprachliche Dimension des Sozialismus
Welche sprachlichen Mechanismen können im sozialistischen Diskurs für die Konstruktion von 'Wir und die Anderen' beobachtet werden? Der Band untersucht sprachlich etablierte sozialistische Prinzipien und Werte in einer vergleichenden Studie zu Reden zum Internationalen Frauentag von Erich Honecker (DDR) und Hugo Chávez (Venezuela). Aus politolinguistischer Perspektive und mit diskurslinguistischen Methoden werden Aspekte der Gruppen- und Dominanzkonstruktion in den Reden herausgearbeitet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich Abgrenzungsmechanismen und Hierarchien durch die Analyse von Nominations- und Prädikationsstrategien der konstatierten Gruppen auch sprachvergleichend ablesen lassen und als persuasives Mittel im politischen Diskurs eingesetzt werden.
