Joan of Arc
Few individuals in the annals of world history have had so lasting an impact as Joan of Arc, who rallied a country behind her and continues to inspire people today. Although she began life as a peasant, she became a key figure in the latter stages of the Hundred Years' War. As a teenager she experienced visions from God calling her to aid the French king. Her confidence and bearing, along with her fervent adherence to God and her Catholic faith, belied her age and so influenced the monarch that he made her commander of one of his companies. She helped lead the French forces in battle against the English, in turn becoming a national icon. However, she was eventually captured and tried by the English in a trial rife with ecclesiastical and political overtones. Convicted as a heretic, Joan was sentenced and burned at the stake. As a martyr, she gained mythic status and the Roman Catholic Church made her a saint in 1920. This book presents a fascinating study of Joan of Arc's life based on excerpts from John A Mooney's gripping 1919 biography. The overview is augmented by a substantial and selective bibliography, featuring access provided through author, title, and subject indexes.

The Phonology/paraphonology Interface and the Sounds of German Across Time
The Phonology / Paraphonology Interface and the Sounds of German Across Time is an excursion into the phonology of the German language in the present, the remote prehistoric past (Indo-European and Germanic), and throughout the almost thousand-year historical era. It accordingly addresses all eras pertaining to the study of the German language in its innermost core, namely, its phonology. This book makes accessible to linguists and non-linguists alike the elements of acoustic and articulatory phonetics. It provides the reader with insight into phonological methods from the Prague Structuralism and Chomskyan Generativism of the last seventy-five years to an array of today's non-linear approac...

Internationales Germanistenlexikon 1800-1950
Die Germanistik kann als Fach auf eine über 150jährige Geschichte zurückblicken. Als Wissenschaft von der deutschen Sprache und Literatur bildete sie sich in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts heraus, und mit ihren Anfängen verbinden sich so berühmte Namen wie Jacob Grimm, Karl Lachmann und Wilhelm Wackernagel. Durch ihre Verbindung zu den anderen Philologien und Kulturwissenschaften war sie von Anfang an selbst ein Teil der Geistesgeschichte. Leben und Werk ihrer Vertreter sind daher nicht nur ein Spiegel der Wissenschafts-, sondern auch der Literatur- und Sozialgeschichte. Das Internationale Germanistenlexikon, das unter Beteiligung zahlreicher Fachgelehrter aus dem In- und Ausland am Deu...
