Modality in Syntax, Semantics and Pragmatics
An innovative survey that covers the linguistic questions of modality and mood, offering a new model for the phenomenon.
Sprache und Identität – Philologische Einblicke
Die inflationäre Verwendung des Begriffs „Identität“ führt zu einer Verwischung des Sprachgebrauchs und einer fortschreitenden Metaphorisierung des Terminus. Diese Sinnkonstruktion – mit ihrem die Komplexität reduzierenden Charakter und ihrer gesellschaftlichen Aussagekraft – wird im vorliegenden Band in einer Reihe philologischer Einblicke von Sprach-, Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaftlern aus disziplin- und länderübergreifender Perspektive analysiert. Dabei wird die wechselseitige Beeinflussung von Sprache und Identität deutlich. Zudem kommen Forschungsdesiderate zu diesem mehrdimensionalen Problem zum Vorschein.
The Judith Rothschild Foundation Contemporary Drawings Collection
Formed by Harvey S. Shipley Miller, trustee of the Judith Rothschild Foundation, and given to MoMA in 2005, The Judith Rothschild Foundation Contemporary Drawings Collection was conceived to be a broad survey of contemporary drawing practice, and it more than fulfils that goal, mixing drawings of the 1960s and 1970s with major works of the past twenty years by such artists as Kai Althoff, Robert Crumb, Peter Doig, Marcel Dzama, Mark Grotjahn, Charline von Heyl, Martin Kippenberger, Sherrie Levine, Agnes Martin, Fred Sandback, Paul Thel and Andrea Zittel, among many others. This definitive catalogue raisonné presents the collection as a whole, with an introduction by Christian Rattemeyer; five essays each focusing on a different geographic area of artistic production; images throughout; and a text on paper conservation.
Art of the 20th Century
The original edition of this ambitious reference was published in hardcover in 1998, in two oversize volumes (10x13"). This edition combines the two volumes into one; it's paperbound ("flexi-cover"--the paper has a plastic coating), smaller (8x10", and affordable for art book buyers with shallower pockets--none of whom should pass it by. The scope is encyclopedic: half the work (originally the first volume) is devoted to painting; the other half to sculpture, new media, and photography. Chapters are arranged thematically, and each page displays several examples (in color) of work under discussion. The final section, a lexicon of artists, includes a small bandw photo of each artist, as well as biographical information and details of work, writings, and exhibitions. Ruhrberg and the three other authors are veteran art historians, curators, and writers, as is editor Walther. c. Book News Inc.
Storyworld Possible Selves
This volume presents a multidisciplinary approach to narrative engagement within the paradigms of cognitive linguistics, cognitive narratology, and social-psychology. In their basic form, storyworld possible selves, or SPSs, are blends resulting from the conceptual integration of an intra- and an extra-diegetic perspectivizer. In written narratives, SPS blends function as hybrid referents for a variety of inclusive and ambiguous linguistic expressions, which are here explored from the standpoint of interactional cognitive linguistics, as instances of SPS objectification and subjectification. The model also draws on character construction and on the social-psychology notions of self-schemas and possible selves. This allows an exploration of emotional responses to narratives not just in terms of empathy or sympathy towards fictional entities, but also in terms of narrative ethics and of culturally determined and simultaneously idiosyncratic feelings of personal relevance and self-transformation.
Konstruktionssemantik
Obwohl die Konstruktionsgrammatik die semantischen Eigenschaften von grammatischen Konstruktionen in den Fokus rückt, ist bislang kein umfassender Ansatz für die semantische Beschreibung von Konstruktionen entwickelt worden. Der Ansatz einer Konstruktionssemantik soll diesem Desiderat begegnen, indem er eine Verbindung aus gebrauchsbasierter Konstruktionsgrammatik und Frame-Semantik im Sinne des FrameNet-Projekts sucht, vermittelt durch das Analyseformat der Konstruktikographie. In theoretischer Hinsicht werden dafür die semantischen Eigenschaften von syntaktischen Konstruktionen sowie ihren Instanzen (Konstrukten) im Rückgriff auf Frames modelliert. In methodologischer Hinsicht wird die...
Independent Wh-Exclamative Constructions in the History of English
This book offers the first book-length treatment of the diachronic study of English exclamatives, tracing their development from 1500 through to the twenty-first century. The volume shines a light on independent wh-exclamatives in the history of English. In particular, Schröder calls attention to the development of three prototypical wh-exclamatives as observed in three newly created genre-balance corpora comprising prose fiction, dialogues, and personal correspondence, uncovering new insights into the differences in their evolution. In its analysis of English exclamatives over time and broader exploration of the impact of genre on constructional productivity, the book raises key questions about existing claims in scholarship on Diachronic Construction Grammar and outlines ways forward for new areas of inquiry. This volume will appeal to scholars interested in diachronic linguistics, historical syntax, language variation and change, and the history of English.

The Figures of Edgar Allan Poe
The Figures of Edgar Allan Poe is the first study to address the rhetorical dimensions of Poe’s textual and discursive practices. It argues that Poe is a figure and figurer of the emergence of the modern understanding of literature in the early nineteenth century that resulted from the birth of the romantic author and the so-called ‘death of rhetoric’. Building on accounts of Poe as a skilled navigator of American antebellum print culture, Gero Guttzeit reinterprets Poe as representative of the vital role that transatlantic rhetoric played in antebellum literature. He investigates rhetorical figures of the author in Poe’s critical writings, tales, poems, and lectures to give a new account of Poe’s significance for antebellum literary culture. In so doing, he also proposes a general rhetorical theory of theoretical, poetical, and performative figures of the author. Beyond Poe studies, the book intervenes in current debates on the romantic origins of the modern author and demonstrates that rhetorical theory offers new ways of exploring authorship beyond the nineteenth century.
Regelbasierte Konstruktionsgrammatik
Konstruktionsgrammatik wird zumeist mit Begriffen wie Nichtkompositionalität (Idiomatizität), Lexik-Grammatik-Kontinuum, Netzwerk von Konstruktionen verbunden. Unberücksichtigt bleibt dabei die Musterbasiertheit der Konstruktionen und damit sprachliche Tätigkeit als Operieren über schematischen Konstruktionen (Konstruktionsmustern). Operationen wie Instantiierung und Fusion sind selbstverständlich regelhaft, wenn auch nicht im Sinne des traditionellen Regelbegriffs, in dem Regel an invariante Gültigkeit gebunden wird, sondern von Regelhaftigkeit im prototypentheoretischen Sinne. In den Beiträgen dieses Bandes werden anhand konkreter sprachlicher Phänomene theoretische Fragen der Form-Funktionsbeziehung innerhalb von Konstruktionen und zwischen Konstruktionen sowie empirische Aspekte der Ermittlung, des Erwerbs, der Vermittlung und des zwischensprachlichen Vergleichs von Konstruktionen diskutiert. Die gebrauchsbezogene Musterbasiertheit und Regelhaftigkeit sind ein gemeinsamer Ausgangspunkt der Beiträge. Die jeweilige Gewichtung der Form oder der Bedeutung oder des Verständnisses stehen zur Diskussion.
