Exact Repetition in Grammar and Discourse
Most scholars define reduplication as a formally restricted grammatical process, neatly distinguishing it from 'mere' repetition as a discoursal option. However, there is a fuzzy grey area between the two processes that has rarely been explored so far. In this timely collection, the phenomenon of exact repetition, understood broadly as the systematic iteration of one and the same linguistic item within relatively close syntactic proximity, is investigated from a number of angles. The volume contains studies from phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and deals with a broad range of languages, including alleged 'reduplication avoiders'. In bringing together different theoretical perspectives, phenomenological domains, and methodologies, and in linking the fields of syntax and discourse to those of morphology and morphophonology, the volume provides new insights into the structure and meaning of exact repetition phenomena, and, more generally, into their status within a theory of language. The collection will appeal to formally and functionally oriented scholars from all subfields of linguistics, including typology.
Word-Formation across Languages
Research into cross-linguistic aspects and typology of word-formation has not been paid relevant and systematic attention by morphologists, and only a few articles dealing with various word-formation issues of this kind appear in journals. The chapters in this volume address this issue by discussing, on contrastive principles, important questions of word-formation in a sample of 26 languages. The focus of the book, as a whole, is on typological features of word-formation in the languages sampled. It is aimed at researchers that have an interest in word-formation in a variety of languages.

In der Einleitung blickt der Autor auf sein Leben und seine Arbeiten zurück. Das Schriftenverzeichnis ist nach Themen angeordnet: 16 Kapitel führen von Bibliographie und Bibliotheken über Ostasien zu China, Japan nach Zentralasien und Rußland - insgesamt etwa 1300 Eintragungen. Das letzte Kapitel verzeichnet Beiträge, die sich im Druck befinden oder in Arbeit sind. Zahlreiche Aufnahmen sind erläutert oder kommentiert und einige auch illustriert. Register erschliessen den Inhalt. Gegenüber dem früheren, rein chronologisch angeordneten Verzeichnis sind in den letzten Jahren 300 Eintragungen hinzugekommen; die sachliche Ordnung macht ebenso wie Anmerkungen die Information besser auffind...
