Tense and Aspects in Discourse
TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes, which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.
Getting Into German
This volume, composed mainly of papers given at the 1999 conferences of the Forum for German Language Studies (FGLS) at Kent and the Conference of University Teachers of German (CUTG) at Keele, is devoted to differential yet synergetic treatments of the German language. It includes corpus-lexicographical, computational, rigorously phonological, historical/dialectal, comparative, semiotic, acquisitional and pedagogical contributions. In all, a variety of approaches from the rigorously 'pure' and formal to the applied, often feeding off each other to focus on various aspects of the German language.
The Ditransitive Alternation in Present-Day German
The ditransitive (or “dative”) alternation is a much-studied phenomenon in contemporary linguistics. This monograph is the first to address the alternation in present-day written German from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective. As well as providing a corpus-based analysis of extensively annotated data and detailed statistical information, the book also contributes to the theory of language by developing an alternative framework to existing investigations of the alternation. It is shown that the alternation can be accounted for in a comprehensive way by adopting a three-layer approach to meaning and sense based on the work of E. Coseriu and S. Levinson. In this approach, a construction’s language-specific encoded meaning is distinguished both from its conventional (“normal”) uses and its discourse-specific interpretations in particular contexts. The monograph is likely to attract attention from researchers in the fields of German and English linguistics, general and contrastive linguistics as well as linguistic theory.
Constructional Approaches to Syntactic Structures in German
This book provides a state of the art collection of constructional research on syntactic structures in German. The volume is unique in that it offers an easily accessible, yet comprehensive and sophisticated variety of papers. Moreover, various of the papers make explicit connections between grammatical constructions and the concept of valency which has figured quite prominently in Germanic Linguistics over the past half century.
Emotions in Crosslinguistic Perspective
This volume aims to enrich the current interdisciplinary theoretical discussion of human emo-tions by presenting studies based on extensive linguistic data from a wide range of languages of the world. Each language-specific study gives detailed semantic descriptions of the meanings of culturally salient emotion words and expressions, offering fascinating insights into people's emotional lives in diverse cultures including Amharic, Chinese, German, Japanese, Lao, Malay, Mbula, Polish and Russian. The book is unique in its emphasis on empirical language data, analyzed in a framework free of ethnocentrism and not dependent upon English emotion terms, but relying instead on independently established conceptual universals. Students of languages and cultures, psychology and cognition will find this volume a rich resource of description and analysis of emotional meanings in cultural context.
The Construction of Words
This volume focuses on detailed studies of various aspects of Construction Morphology, and combines theoretical analysis and descriptive detail. It deals with data from several domains of linguistics and contributes to an integration of findings from various subdisciplines of linguistics into a common model of the architecture of language. It presents applications and extensions of the model of Construction Morphology to a wide range of languages. Construction Morphology is one of the theoretical paradigms in present-day morphology. It makes use of concepts of Construction Grammar for the analysis of word formation and inflection. Complex words are seen as constructions, that is, pairs of fo...

Einführung in die Grammatik der deutschen Gegenwartssprache
Diese 3. Auflage ist die Beschreibung der 1988 erschienenen 1. Auflage dieses Titels. Das Buch wendet sich vor allem an Deutschlehrer (auch im Rahmen der Fortbildung) und an Germanistikstudenten. Im 1. Kapitel werden theoretische Grundlagen gelegt, die in den folgenden drei Kapiteln eine Rolle spielen (u.a. Struktur des Sprachsystems, Aufbau syntaktischer Konstruktionen, funktional-semantische Felder, Arbeitsverfahren). Die Kapitel 2-4 sind den grammatischen Erscheinungen des Wortes, des Satzes und des Textes gewidmet. Vor allem der Anteil des Textkapitels wurde erweitert. An den Grundpositionen der 1. Auflage wurde festgehalten: Beobachtung der Einheit von sprachlich-kommunikativer Tätigkeit und Sprachpotential, Berücksichtigung der Funktion sprachlicher Mittel in der Kommunikation, Einbeziehung orthographischer Probleme, Auwahl und Aufbereitung des Stoffes bei Orientierung auf das Germanistikstudium und die Lehrerfortbildung. An einigen Stellen werden Auffassungen verschiedener sprachwissenschaftlicher Schulen vorgeführt. Hinweise zur Literatur sollen zur weiteren eigenen Beschäftigung mit der Grammatik anregen. Ein Sachregister erleichtert die Arbeit mit diesem Buch.
