Of Grammar, Words, and Verses
This book offers new work by some major figures in the field of linguistics, addressing old debates from the perspective of current explanatory grammatical theory. These include paradigmatic relations among words, and agreeing adjectives and their grammatical source. Covering a broad range of empirical domains, the contributors of this volume examine the role of Economy in syntax and in syntactic interfaces with phonology and semantics, and their implications for processing. The evidence is taken from a great variety of languages, including Arabic dialects, Basque, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Latin, and Spanish. Two chapters on metrics complete honoring Carlos Piera s longstanding scholarship in linguistic theory within Spain and abroad."

Spaghetti Westerns--the Good, the Bad and the Violent
Spaghetti Westerns--mostly produced in Italy or by Italians but made throughout Europe--were bleaker, rougher, grittier imitations of Hollywood Westerns, focusing on heroes only slightly less evil than the villains. After a main filmography covering 558 Spaghetti Westerns, another section provides filmographies of personnel--actors and actresses, directors, musical composers, scriptwriters, cinematographers. Appendices provide lists of the popular Django films and the Sartana films, a listing of U.S.-made Spaghetti Western lookalikes, top ten and twenty lists and a list of the genre's worst.
Kooperation von Lehrpersonen an Gymnasien
Welche Bedeutung erlangt die Kooperation von Lehrpersonen, wenn Schulen Qualitätsentwicklung betreiben? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, wurden die Lehrpersonen von neun Zürcher Gymnasien sowohl quantitativ wie qualitativ zu Kooperation und Aspekten von Schul- und Unterrichtsqualität sowie Qualitätsmanagement befragt. Aufgrund der RASCH-skalierten Daten einer Fragebogenerhebung unterscheiden sich die Schulen hinsichtlich des Grades an erreichter Kooperation sowie in Faktoren auf der Schulebene und der individuellen Ebene. Zusätzlich wurden an fünf dieser Schulen Leitfaden-Interviews mit Lehrpersonen und Schulleitungen durchgeführt. Ein Vergleich dieser qualitativen Daten verweist auf zusätzliche Unterschiede in Zielen, Funktionen und Formen der Zusammenarbeit.
The Clarinet
The clarinet has a long and rich history as a solo, orchestral, and chamber musical instrument. In this broad-ranging account Eric Hoeprich, a performer, teacher, and expert on historical clarinets, explores its development, repertoire, and performance history. Looking at the antecedents of the clarinet, as well as such related instruments as the chalumeau, basset horn, alto clarinet, and bass clarinet, Hoeprich explains the use and development of the instrument in the Baroque age. The period from the late 1700s to Beethoven's early years is shown to have fostered ever wider distribution and use of the instrument, and a repertoire of increasing richness. The first half of the nineteenth century, a golden age for the clarinet, brought innovation in construction and great virtuosity in performance, while the following century and a half produced a surge in new works from many composers. The author also devotes a chapter to the role of the clarinet in bands, folk music, and jazz.
