Johann Andreas Schmeller
"Schau 'mal im ,Schmeller' nach", heißt es, wenn man einen unbekannten bairischen Mundartausdruck sucht. Gemeint ist das "Bayerische Wörterbuch", mit dem Johann Andreas Schmeller (1785–1852) die moderne Mundartforschung begründet hat. Für ihn gehörte der Dialekt zur kulturellen Identität. Den hochbegabten Sohn eines armen Korbflechters trieb es in die Ferne, wo er als Pädagoge arbeitete und als Soldat diente. Nach entsagungsvollen Jahren fand er eine Anstellung an der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek, zu deren weltweitem Ansehen seine Tätigkeit beitrug. Diese Biografie begleitet ein bewegendes und bewegtes Leben in unruhiger Zeit, sie beschreibt einzigartige Leistungen und verschweigt auch nicht das Gefühl sozialer Benachteiligung, das dem berühmten Gelehrten seit Kindheitstagen wie ein Schatten folgte.
Fragments of Languages
The book deals with the concept of fragmentation as applied to languages and their documentation. It focuses in particular on the theoretical and methodological consequences of such a fragmentation for the linguistic analysis and interpretation of texts and, hence, for the reconstruction of languages. Furthermore, by adopting an innovative perspective, the book aims to test the application of the concept of fragmentation to languages which are not commonly included in the categories of ‘Corpussprache’, ‘Trümmersprache’, and ‘Restsprache’. This is the case with diachronic or diatopic varieties — of even well-known languages — which are only attested through a limited corpus of texts as well as with endangered languages. In this latter case, not only is the documentation fragmented, but the very linguistic competence of the speakers, due to the reduction of contexts of language use, interference phenomena with majority languages, and consequent presence of semi-speakers.
The World is Full of Assholes
The ULTIMATE book on Assholes is here! This isn’t your typical coming-of-age story about first crushes, first kisses, and unexpected boners. It’s about assholes, unlawful partying, emotional torment, and getting even. Benjamin Dover was six years old when he realized his father wasn’t a decent man. He was nine years old the first time he jumped on his drunken father’s back to stop him from hurting his mom. Benjamin grew up bathed in asshole behavior and spent the rest of his life trying to scrub it off. If you’ve ever had to tolerate assholes, partied your brains out, had a humiliating first sexual experience, or enjoy getting even, then you’ll love this book.

In Babel's Shadow
A comprehensive cultural history of the language sciences in nineteenth-century Germany. In contrast to fields like anthropology, the history of linguistics has received remarkably little attention outside of its own discipline despite the undeniable impact language study has had on the modern period. In Babel's Shadow situates German language scholarship in relation to European nationalism, nineteenth-century notions of race and ethnicity, the methodologies of humanistic inquiry, and debates over the interpretation of scripture. Author Tuska Benes investigates how the German nation came to be defined as a linguistic community and argues that the "linguistic turn" in today's social sciences ...

Speech-in-Character, Diatribe, and Romans 3:1-9
In Speech-in-Character, Diatribe, and Romans 3:1-9, Justin King argues that the rhetorical skill of speech-in-character (prosopopoiia, sermocinatio, conformatio) offers a methodologically sound foundation for understanding the script of Paul’s imaginary dialogue with an interlocutor in Romans 3:1-9. King focuses on speech-in-character’s stable criterion that attributed speech should be appropriate to the characterization of the speaker. Here, speech-in-character helps to inform which voice in the dialogue speaks which lines, and the general goals of diatribe help shape how an “appropriate” understanding of the script is best interpreted. King’s analyses of speech-in-character, diatribe, and Romans, therefore, make independent contributions while simultaneously working together to advance scholarship on a much debated passage in one of history’s most important texts.
