The Languages and Linguistics of Africa
This innovative handbook takes a fresh look at the currently underestimated linguistic diversity of Africa, the continent with the largest number of languages in the world. It covers the major domains of linguistics, offering both a representative picture of Africa’s linguistic landscape as well as new and at times unconventional perspectives. The focus is not so much on exhaustiveness as on the fruitful relationship between African and general linguistics and the contributions the two domains can make to each other. This volume is thus intended for readers with a specific interest in African languages and also for students and scholars within the greater discipline of linguistics.
Die »Nachrichtenstelle für den Orient« im Kontext globaler Verflechtungen (1914-1921)
Das politische Interesse in Deutschland am Islam hat seinen Ursprung im Ersten Weltkrieg, als das Kaiserreich zusammen mit dem Osmanischen Reich die »Revolutionierung« der islamischen Welt gegen die Entente-Mächte anstrebte. Eine zentrale Organisation im Feld der Dschihadisierung und der Kriegspropaganda war die 1914 gegründete »Nachrichtenstelle für den Orient«. Mit der Neukontextualisierung dieser Einrichtung unter Einbeziehung der Vorkriegs- und Kolonialgeschichte sowie der Agency einzelner Akteure gelingt es Samuel Krug, die Geschichte der Nachrichtenstelle für den Orient aus dem bisherigen Narrativ des Scheiterns als Kriegs- und Propagandainstrument zu befreien und eine spannende Geschichte globaler Netzwerke und Diskurse aufzudecken.
Das arztrechtliche System als Grenze der arbeitsteiligen Medizin
Modern medicine is increasingly characterised by the division of labour. Therefore, this process as well as the concepts of delegation and substitution need to be clarified on a juridical basis. Accordingly, this dissertation is an approach to answer relevant questions of medical law, such as: Which concrete medical processes can be carried out based on the division of labour without risking legal steps regarding liability or pay to be taken? Based on distinct principles of medical law, the author thus develops a systematic framework for the division of medical labour. In this regard, an applicable and simultaneously docmatically substantiated method is focussed. Die moderne Medizin ist zune...

Language and Colonial Power
"..a work of very high scholarship and of a particularly valuable cultural critique...Fabian shows that European scholars, missionaries, soldiers, travellers, and administrators in Central Africa during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century used Swahili as a mode of extending their domination over African territories and people. The language was first studied and characterized, then streamlined for use among laboring people, then regulated as such fields as education and finance were also regulated. Any student of what has been called Africanist discourse, or of imperialism will find Language and Colonial Power an invaluable and path-breaking work (from Foreword).

Reported Discourse
The present volume unites 15 papers on reported discourse from a wide genetic and geographical variety of languages. Besides the treatment of traditional problems of reported discourse like the classification of its intermediate categories, the book reflects in particular how its grammatical, semantic, and pragmatic properties have repercussions in other linguistic domains like tense-aspect-modality, evidentiality, reference tracking and pronominal categories, and the grammaticalization history of quotative constructions. Almost all papers present a major shift away from analyzing reported discourse with the help of abstract transformational principles toward embedding it in functional and pragmatic aspects of language. Another central methodological approach pervading this collection consists in the discourse-oriented examination of reported discourse based on large corpora of spoken or written texts which is increasingly replacing analyses of constructed de-contextualized utterances prevalent in many earlier treatments. The book closes with a comprehensive bibliography on reported discourse of about 1.000 entries.
Hunter-gatherers in a Changing World
This book compiles a collection of case studies analysing drivers of and responses to change amongst contemporary hunter-gatherers. Contemporary hunter-gatherers’ livelihoods are examined from perspectives ranging from historical legacy to environmental change, and from changes in national economic, political and legal systems to more broad-scale and universal notions of globalization and acculturation. Far from the commonly held romantic view that hunter-gatherers continue to exist as isolated populations living a traditional lifestyle in harmony with the environment, contemporary hunter-gatherers – like many rural communities around the world - face a number of relatively new ecologica...
