Prosodic boundary phenomena
In spoken language comprehension, the hearer is faced with a more or less continuous stream of auditory information. Prosodic cues, such as pitch movement, pre-boundary lengthening, and pauses, incrementally help to organize the incoming stream of information into prosodic phrases, which often coincide with syntactic units. Prosody is hence central to spoken language comprehension and some models assume that the speaker produces prosody in a consistent and hierarchical fashion. While there is manifold empirical evidence that prosodic boundary cues are reliably and robustly produced and effectively guide spoken sentence comprehension across different populations and languages, the underlying ...
Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar
Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) is a constraint-based or declarative approach to linguistic knowledge, which analyses all descriptive levels (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics) with feature value pairs, structure sharing, and relational constraints. In syntax it assumes that expressions have a single relatively simple constituent structure. This volume provides a state-of-the-art introduction to the framework. Various chapters discuss basic assumptions and formal foundations, describe the evolution of the framework, and go into the details of the main syntactic phenomena. Further chapters are devoted to non-syntactic levels of description. The book also considers related fields and research areas (gesture, sign languages, computational linguistics) and includes chapters comparing HPSG with other frameworks (Lexical Functional Grammar, Categorial Grammar, Construction Grammar, Dependency Grammar, and Minimalism).

The Political Economy of the Kimberley Process
Investigating state responses to the Kimberley Process, an ambitious international agreement meant to reduce the trade of conflict diamonds, this study looks at the political economy of resource-wealthy states in Africa to understand why some African states have higher levels of compliance and co-operation than others.
Wissenskommunikation im Sport
Ajit Singh untersucht im Kontext des leistungsorientierten Nachwuchstrainings im Trampolinturnen, wie die Vermittlung von Körper- und Bewegungswissen durch Trainerinnen und Trainer sowie Athletinnen und Athleten gemeinsam koordiniert wird. Ausgangspunkt ist die These, dass Körper in einer Weise sinnhaft handeln und kommunizieren, die (methodisch) beobachtet, interpretiert und verstanden werden kann. Die videographische Studie verdeutlicht, dass die kommunikative Vermittlung von Körperwissen im Sport einer komplexen Orchestrierung unterschiedlicher Modalitäten unterliegt. Dabei reichen die verkörperten Wissensformen von grundlegenden Bewegungsfolgen bis hin zu Körperspannung, Zeitgefüh...
