A linguistic commentary on John Fearn's "Anti-Tooke" (1824/27)
Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten [Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new knowledge about human languages both synchronically and diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality linguistic studies from all the central areas of general linguistics and the linguistics of individual languages which address topical questions, discuss new data and advance the development of linguistic theory.

Clerical Errors
Clerical Errors is a vivid and evocative novel account of one man 's life over more than fifty years, nearly forty of them in the ministry of the Church of England.It covers, with wry humour and sympathetic self-awareness, both spiritual and personal experiences in the life of a parish priest, offering considerable insight into the practicalities of running an Anglican parish in the twentieth century, and the state of health of the Church itself. Given the diversity (and historic nature)of the topics covered, Clerical Errors will have an obvious appeal to all those with an interest in the inner workings of the Church of England at parish level, as well as for past and existing members of the parishes described. Overall, Clerical Errors is an enjoyable, accessible book with a human touch that will give readers the sense that they are being told a personal history, rather than reading it at arms
