Syntactic architecture and its consequences II
This volume collects novel contributions to comparative generative linguistics that “rethink” existing approaches to an extensive range of phenomena, domains, and architectural questions in linguistic theory. At the heart of the contributions is the tension between descriptive and explanatory adequacy which has long animated generative linguistics and which continues to grow thanks to the increasing amount and diversity of data available to us. The chapters address research questions in comparative morphosyntax, including the modelling of syntactic categories, relative clauses, and demonstrative systems. Many of these contributions show the influence of research by Ian Roberts and collaborators and give the reader a sense of the lively nature of current discussion of topics in morphosyntax and morphosyntactic variation.
The Languages and Linguistics of Europe
Open publicationThe Languages and Linguistics of Europe: A Comprehensive Guide is part of the multi-volume reference work on the languages and linguistics of the continents of the world. The book supplies profiles of the language families of Europe, including the sign languages. It also discusses the areal typology, paying attention to the Standard Average European, Balkan, Baltic and Mediterranean convergence areas. Separate chapters deal with the old and new minority languages and with non-standard varieties. A major focus is language politics and policies, including discussions of the special status of English, the relation between language and the church, language and the school, and standardization. The history of European linguistics is another focus as is the history of multilingual European 'empires' and their dissolution. The volume is especially geared towards a graduate and advanced undergraduate readership. It has been designed such that it can be used, as a whole or in parts, as a textbook, the first of its kind, for graduate programmes with a focus on the linguistic (and linguistics) landscape of Europe.
Manual of Judaeo-Romance Linguistics and Philology
This manual provides a detailed presentation of the various Romance languages as they appear in texts written by Jews, mostly using the Hebrew alphabet. It gives a comprehensive overview of the Jews and the Romance languages in the Middle Ages (part I), as well as after the expulsions (part II). These sections are dedicated to Judaeo-Romance texts and linguistic traditions mainly from Italy, northern and southern France (French and Occitan), and the Iberian Peninsula (Catalan, Spanish, Portuguese). The Judaeo-Spanish varieties of the 20th and 21st centuries are discussed in a separate section (part III), due to the fact that Judaeo-Spanish can be considered an independent language. This section includes detailed descriptions of its phonetics/phonology, morphology, lexicon, and syntax.

Non-humans in Social Science
Ideas of dead, inert space, non-living, machinelike reflexive controlled bodies and passive, meaningless things are very modern. At the very heart of the program of modernity, resource exploitation and consumption is the idea that non-humans have no agency – they are simply resources to be manipulated and exploited at our will. Mostly leaving aside the more and more evident ethical concerns of this worldview and this setting of the human – non-human boundary, this volume attempts to explore what social sciences have to say about the relationship between the human and non-human. The intention of this book is to offer a non-human perspective. We realize that it is sometimes difficult to sa...
Historical Romance Linguistics
This volume contains 17 studies on historical Romance linguistics within a variety of current theoretical frameworks; it includes studies on phonology, morphology and syntax, focusing solely or comparatively on all five 'major' Romance languages: French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish. An introduction by the eminent Romance Linguist Jürgen Klausenburger addresses the fit of these studies in the overall development of the field of historical Romance linguistics since the 19th century. The studies in this volume demonstrate an organic link between Malkiel's (1961) 'classic' definition of Romance linguistics and the field of Romance linguistics today, because just as scholars of the field in the 19th century successfully applied the dominant paradigm of (historical) linguistics of their time, Neogrammarian theory, so do the authors contained in the present volume avail themselves of current linguistic advances to achieve equally significant results.
Geschlecht und Sprache in der Romania: Stand und Perspektiven
Die hier versammelten Beiträge des XXXV. Romanistischen Kolloquiums widmen sich aktuellen Fragestellungen zum Thema ,Geschlecht und Sprache' unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Diskussion in unterschiedlichen Gebieten der Romania. Dabei wird auch der gesellschaftspolitischen und interdisziplinären Dimension des Themas Rechnung getragen. Nach einer kritischen Präsentation aktueller Debatten und Forschungsfelder der Genderlinguistik und Queeren Linguistik befassen sich drei Beiträge aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln mit Leitfäden zur sprachlichen Gleichbehandlung der Geschlechter. In fünf weiteren Artikeln wird die Geschlechterreferenz in der italienischen und französischen Pressesprache sowie in galicischen Urkunden des Spätmittelalters untersucht, bevor abschließend der Zusammenhang zwischen Genderdiskursen und Ideologien in unterschiedlichen Kontexten thematisiert wird.
Zwischen Pluralität und Präskription: Sprachnormen in der Romania in Geschichte und Gegenwart
Der Band versammelt ausgewählte Beiträge des XXXVI. Romanistischen Kolloquiums, die aktuelle sprachnorm(en)bezogene Fragestellungen aus der romanistisch-linguistischen Forschung behandeln. Historische Zusammenhänge und Entwicklungen stehen dabei ebenso im Fokus wie aktuelle Gegebenheiten. Die Beiträge, die sich sowohl in der europäischen Romania als auch in der außereuropäischen Frankophonie und Hispanophonie bewegen, behandeln ein breites Spektrum an Themen: Neben der Rolle von Sprachnormen in Standardisierungsprozessen wird das Spannungsverhältnis von Sprachgebrauch und -normen im Kontext verschiedener Konstellationen sowie die gesellschaftliche, mediale oder öffentliche Diskussion von Sprachnormen exemplarisch untersucht. Der Band unterstreicht die Bedeutung der Erforschung von Sprachnormen romanischer Sprachen in ihren vielfältigen Erscheinungsformen, Kontexten und Wirkungen.
