Lárico, lúdico, lacónico
English summary: This monograph is a contribution to research in modern Chilean poetics. It is the first monograph on the poet Floridor Perez (born 1937) and represents a critical analysis of his complete works in their historical and literary context. His works encompass the spectrum of poetry from children's poetry to poems about death. His poetry displays a pronounced chilenidad and autobiographical influence with a tendency towards testimonio, expressed aesthetically through techniques such as intertexuality. The originality of Perez' poetics is higlighted through summarizing aspects of content and form as well as in detailed individual analyses. Alongside these, the monograph offers a p...

Medieval Epics
BEOWULF is the earliest extant written composition of such length in all Teutonic literature. It recounts how Beowulf saved a Danish king and his land from the monster Grendel. THE SONG OF ROLAND tells of the defeat of the Saracens in Spain by Charlemagne's armies. Written around 1200, THE NIBELUNGENLIED is a German epic based on Scandinavian legends. In El CID, an 11th-century Spanish nobleman becomes a national hero when he drives the Moors from his homeland.
Pejoration
Though “pejoration” is an important notion for linguistic analysis and theory, there is still a lack of theoretical understanding and sound descriptive analysis. In this timely collection, the phenomenon of pejoration is studied from a number of angles. It contains studies from phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics, and deals with diverse languages and their variants. The collection will appeal to all those linguists with a genuine interest in locating pejoration at the grammar-pragmatics interface.
Labels and Roots
This volume provides in-depth exploration of the issues of labeling and roots, with a balance of empirical and conceptual/theoretical analyses. The papers explore key questions that must ultimately be addressed in the development of generative theories: how do theories of labels and roots relate to syntax-internal computation, to semantics, to morphology, and to phonology?
Complementizer Semantics in European Languages
Complementizers may be defined as conjunctions that have the function of identifying clauses as complements. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that they have additional functions. Some of these functions are semantic in the sense that they represent conventional contributions to the meanings of the complements. The present book puts a focus to these semantic complementizer functions.
The Final-Over-Final Condition
An examination of the evidence for and the theoretical implications of a universal word order constraint, with data from a wide range of languages. This book presents evidence for a universal word order constraint, the Final-over-Final Condition (FOFC), and discusses the theoretical implications of this phenomenon. FOFC is a syntactic condition that disallows structures where a head-initial phrase is contained in a head-final phrase in the same extended projection/domain. The authors argue that FOFC is a linguistic universal, not just a strong tendency, and not a constraint on processing. They discuss the effects of the universal in various domains, including the noun phrase, the adjective p...
