Grammatical theory
This book introduces formal grammar theories that play a role in current linguistic the- orizing (Phrase Structure Grammar, Transformational Grammar/Government & Binding, Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, Categorial Gram- mar, Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Construction Grammar, Tree Adjoining Grammar). The key assumptions are explained and it is shown how the respective the- ory treats arguments and adjuncts, the active/passive alternation, local reorderings, verb placement, and fronting of constituents over long distances. The analyses are explained with German as the object language. The second part of the book compares these approaches with respect ...

A very risky escape from the DDR
The GDR in the seventies. Many leading politicians live in luxury. The Stasi and the police with the appropriate facilities ensure fear, terror and violence, worse than the inquisition in the middle Ages. Denunciation of people among one another flourishes in all colors, the mass of the people makes unrestrained use of the national wealth and increasingly refuses to work. Two young people fall in love and want to spend their life together in a country where they are free from political constraints. What the two have to experience and suffer on this very dangerous path is hell and horror itself.

Impact of the type of referring expression on the acquisition of word order variation
This dissertation examines the impact of the type of referring expression on the acquisition of word order variation in German-speaking preschoolers. A puzzle in the area of language acquisition concerns the production-comprehension asymmetry for non-canonical sentences like "Den Affen fängt die Kuh." (“The monkey, the cow chases.”), that is, preschoolers usually have difficulties in accurately understanding non-canonical sentences approximately until age six (e.g., Dittmar et al., 2008) although they produce non-canonical sentences already around age three (e.g., Poeppel & Wexler, 1993; Weissenborn, 1990). This dissertation investigated the production and comprehension of non-canonical...
Classification, Data Analysis, and Knowledge Organization
In science, industry, public administration and documentation centers large amounts of data and information are collected which must be analyzed, ordered, visualized, classified and stored efficiently in order to be useful for practical applications. This volume contains 50 selected theoretical and applied papers presenting a wealth of new and innovative ideas, methods, models and systems which can be used for this purpose. It combines papers and strategies from two main streams of research in an interdisciplinary, dynamic and exciting way: On the one hand, mathematical and statistical methods are described which allow a quantitative analysis of data, provide strategies for classifying objec...
The Syntax of Silence
A primary goal of contemporary theoretical linguistics is to develop a theory of the correspondence between sound (or gesture) and meaning. This sound-meaning correspondence breaks down completely in the case of ellipsis, and yet various forms of ellipsis are pervasive in natural language:words and phrases which should be in the linguistic signal go missing. How this should be possible is the focus of Jason Merchant's investigation. He focuses on the form of ellipsis known as sluicing, a common feature of interrogative clauses, such as in 'Sally's out hunting - guess what!'; and'Someone called, but I can't tell you who'. It is the most frequently found cross-linguistic form of ellipsis. Dr Merchant studies the phenomenon across twenty-four languages, and attempts to explain it in linguistic and behavioural terms.
Classification - the Ubiquitous Challenge
The contributions in this volume represent the latest research results in the field of Classification, Clustering, and Data Analysis. Besides the theoretical analysis, papers focus on various application fields as Archaeology, Astronomy, Bio-Sciences, Business, Electronic Data and Web, Finance and Insurance, Library Science and Linguistics, Marketing, Music Science, and Quality Assurance.
