Hitler's Brandenburgers
‘A fitting tribute to Germany's clandestine warriors, and a guarantee that their extraordinary efforts have not been relegated to comparative obscurity or entirely forgotten’ - David R Higgins. Hitler's daring and pioneering Brandenburgers special forces served in every German theatre of action. This is the most comprehensive account of an unusual and profoundly successful band of men. Lawrence Paterson traces the origins of the small unit, before the outbreak of war in 1939, as the brainchild of Admiral Canaris and part of his Abwehr intelligence unit through through to its breaking up in 1944 when it was largely converted to a, conventional Panzergrenadier division. At that point, many...
Der König in seinem Käfig
Anna, Stiefkind des Diktators, zweifelt an ihrem privilegierten Leben. Eines Tages wird sie, ganz in Gedanken, von einem Unbekannten vor dem Unfalltod gerettet. Kurze Zeit darauf findet sie eine Visitenkarte in ihrer Handtasche. Daniel. Traumdeuter. Neugierig geworden, setzt sie sich mit ihm in Verbindung. Ohne ihn jemals persönlich zu treffen, wird er ihr auf geheimnisvolle Weise helfen, sich ihrer selbst bewusst zu werden. Wer dieser Daniel ist, wird auch der Diktator nicht herausfinden, dessen Horrorvisionen er deuten soll. Anklänge an das apokryphe Buch Daniel und die Erzählung von Susanna im Bade, Variationen über das wackere Selbst und die Macht der Despoten. Annas Leben wird sich radikal verändern. Wohin?
Connectives in the History of English
Clausal connection is one of the key building blocks of language and thus a field where a wide range of syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and cognitive phenomena meet. The availability of large databases as well as considerable advances in corpus-linguistic methods have strengthened the interest in the history of features linking clauses or larger chunks of text. The papers in this volume combine a thorough corpus-based analysis of the history of individual connectives, their co-occurrence patterns, and patterns of variation and change from both intra- and inter-systemic perspectives with a variety of methodological tools, ranging from sophisticated methods of grammatical analysis to pragmatics, text linguistics and discourse analysis. Drawing on quantitatively and qualitatively improved data, the studies reconstruct the history of a wide range of connectives in English from various new theoretical perspectives.
On Conditionals Again
The volume brings together a selection of papers from a symposium on Conditionality held in the University of Duisburg on 25-26 March 1994. Ten years after the Stanford symposium, the Proceedings of which were edited by Traugott et al. (1986), the area of conditionality is revisited in a synthesis of issues and aspects with insights drawn from the wider framework of general processes of conceptualisation. One major question is therefore what conceptual categories fall under conditionality or how far the notion of conditionality can be extended. The volume represents the up-to-date research on most aspects of conditionality some of which include the relationship between conditionality, hypotheticality and counterfactuality, polarity, historical perspectives, concessives, the acquisition of conditionals.
