The Development of the Bulgarian Literary Language
Ivan N. Petrov’s The Development of the Bulgarian Literary Language: From Incunabula to First Grammars, Late Fifteenth–Early Seventeenth Century examines the history of the first printed Cyrillic books and their role in the development of the Bulgarian literary language. In the literary culture of the Southern Slavs, especially the Bulgarians, the period that began at the end of the fifteenth century and covered the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries is often seen as a foreshadowing of the pre-national era of modern times. In particular, the centuries-old manuscript tradition was gradually replaced by the Cyrillic printed book, which—after the incunabula of Krakow and Montenegro—was...
Kalkierungs- und Entlehnungssprachen in der Slavia: Boris Unbegaun zum 120. Geburtstag
Boris Unbegaun (1898–1973) war einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der Slavistik des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine Einteilung der slavischen Schriftsprachen in Kalkierungssprachen (langues à calques) und Entlehnungssprachen (langues à emprunts) aus dem Jahr 1932 wird innerhalb der Slavistik bis heute immer wieder aufgegriffen und diskutiert. Der vorliegende Band entstand aus Anlass seines 120. Geburtstages als Zeichen der großen Wertschätzung gegenüber dem Menschen und Wissenschaftler Boris Unbegaun. In Reminiszenz an seine Mehrsprachigkeit betrachten die Autorinnen und Autoren eine Vielzahl slavischer Sprachen. In ihren Beiträgen zum Bulgarischen, Kaschubischen, Kroatischen, Lemkischen, Makedonischen, Polnischen, Russischen, (Ober-)Schlesischen, Serbischen, Slovakischen, Slovenischen, Ober- und Niedersorbischen, Tschechischen, Ukrainischen und Weißrussischen sowie zu den nichtslavischen Sprachen Rumänisch und Ungarisch setzen sie sich aus heutiger Sicht mit der Anwendbarkeit von Unbegauns Klassifizierung auseinander.

A Theory of Phonological Features
This book outlines a system of phonological features that is minimally sufficient to distinguish all consonants and vowels in the languages of the world. The extensive evidence is drawn from datasets with a combined total of about 1000 sound inventories. The interpretation of phonetic transcriptions from different languages is a long-standing problem. In this book, San Duanmu proposes a solution that relies on the notion of contrast: X and Y are different sounds if and only if they contrast in some language. He focuses on a simple procedure to interpret empirical data: for each phonetic dimension, all inventories are searched in order to determine the maximal number of contrasts required. In...
Russian Literature and Cognitive Science
Russian Literature and Cognitive Science applies the newest insights from cognitive psychology to the study of Russian literature. Chapters focus on writers and cultural figures from the Golden to the Internet Age including: Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Sologub, Bely, Akhmatova, Nabokov, Baranskaya, and contemporary online discourse. The authors draw on a wide array of cognitively-informed fields within psychology and related disciplines and approaches such as social psychology, visual processing, conceptual blending, cognitive narratology, the study of autism, cognitive approaches to creativity, the medical humanities, reader reception theory, cognitive anthropology, psychopathology, psychoanalysis, Theory of Mind, visual processing, embodied cognition, and predictive processing. This volume demonstrates how useful a tool cognitive science is for the analysis of literary texts.
Explorations in Nominal Inflection
Explorations in Nominal Inflection is a collection of new articles that focus on nominal inflection markers in different languages. The studies are concerned with the morphological inventories of markers, their syntactic distribution, and, importantly, the interaction between the two. As a result, the contributions shed new light on the morphology/syntax interface, and on the role of morpho-syntactic features in mediating between the two components. Issues that feature prominently throughout are inflection class, case, gender, number, animacy, syncretism, iconicity, agreement, the status of paradigms, the nature of morpho-syntactic features, and the structure of nominal projections. Recurrent analytical tools involve the concepts of competition (optimality, specificity), underspecification, and economy, in various theoretical frameworks. James P.
