Deutsche Wörterbücher
Wörterbücher sind eine spannende Lektüre, wenn man sie im Kontext von Sprach- und Theoriegeschichte, Sozial- und Bildungsgeschichte liest. Hier wird eine am modernen Kulturbegriff ausgerichtete Geschichte der Wörterbücher des deutschen Sprachraums erzählt, in der die Positionen ihrer Verfasser und Benutzer beschrieben, dazu wissenschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Zusammenhänge beleuchtet werden. Nach einer Einführung in die Grundbegriffe und das allgemeine Handwerkszeug der Lexikografinnen und Lexikografen folgt eine chronologische Darstellung vom 8. bis 20. Jahrhundert. In weiteren Kapiteln werden systematische Aspekte behandelt: Nationale und europäische Lexikografie, Ordnung der Welt in Synonymiken, Verwandtschaft von Sprach- und Sachlexika, Wörterbücher als Sprachrichter, Neue Medien - eine lexikografische Revolution.
Language and German Disunity
"This book investigates the history of national disunity in Germany since the end of the Second World War from a linguistic perspective: what was the role of language in the ideological conflicts of the Cold War and in the difficult process of rebuilding the German nation after 1990?" "German division and re-unification were crucial to the development of Europe in the second half of the twentieth century. This account of the relationship between language and social conflict in Germany throws new light on these events and raises important questions for the study of divided speech communities elsewhere. The book will interest sociolinguists, historians, sociologists, and political scientists."--BOOK JACKET.
Nation und Sprache
Sprachen spielten bei der politischen, kulturellen und ethnischen Bestimmung von Größen wie Nation, Reich oder Staat über Jahrhunderte eine Rolle und spielen sie nach wie vor. Am Beispiel vor allem des Deutschen, aber auch anderer europäischer Sprachen werden u.a. behandelt: räumliche und bevölkerungsspezifische Verbreitung von Sprachen, Sprache und Identität, Sprachpolitik und Sprachgesetzgebung, Sprachgrenzen und politische (kulturelle, ethnische) Grenzen, Hochsprache/Varietäten und das Konzept der Nationalsprache, Sprach- und Kulturpatriotismus.
Middle and Modern English Corpus Linguistics
This book brings together a variety of approaches to English corpus linguistics and shows how corpus methodologies can contribute to the linking of diachronic and synchronic studies. The articles in this volume investigate historical changes in the English language as well as specific aspects of Middle and Modern English and, moreover, of English dialects. The contributions also discuss the development of English corpus linguistics generally and its potential in the future. Special focus is given to the continuity between Middle and Modern English much in line with the linking in previous studies of Middle English and Old English under the generic term medievalism. This volume highlights the continual development of English from the medieval to modern period.
German as a Jewish Problem
The German language holds an ambivalent and controversial place in the modern history of European Jews, representing different—often conflicting—historical currents. It was the language of the German classics, of German Jewish writers and scientists, of Central European Jewish culture, and of Herzl and the Zionist movement. But it was also the language of Hitler, Goebbels, and the German guards in Nazi concentration camps. The crucial role of German in the formation of Jewish national culture and politics in the late nineteenth century has been largely overshadowed by the catastrophic events that befell Jews under Nazi rule. German as a Jewish Problem tells the Jewish history of the Germ...
Research Handbook on Jurilinguistics
This Research Handbook offers a comprehensive study of jurilinguistics that not only presents the latest international research findings among academics and practitioners, but also provides a new approach to the phenomena and nature of communicative flexibility, legal genres, vulnerability of interlingual legal communication, and the cultural landscape of legal translation.
Legal Linguistics Beyond Borders: Language and Law in a World of Media, Globalisation and Social Conflicts
The world of law has changed in the last decades: it has become more globalized, multilingual and digital. The sections and contributions of this volume continue the interdisciplinary discussion about the challenges of this change for theory and practice of law and for the International Language and Law Association (ILLA) relaunched in 2017. First, the book gives a broad overview to the research field of legal linguistics, its history, research directions and open questions in different parts of the world (United States, Africa, Italy, Spain, Germany, Nordic countries and Russia). The second section consists of contributions about the relation of language, law and justice in a globalized world with a focus on multilingual and supranational law in the EU. The third section focuses on digitalization and mediatization of the law, the last section reports about the discussion at the ILLA relaunch conference in 2017.
Cognitive Approaches to Lexical Semantics
This collected volume presents radically new directions which are emerging in cognitive lexical semantics research. A number of papers re-ignite the polysemy vs. monosemy debate, and testify to the fact that polysemy is no longer simply taken for granted, but is currently a much more contested issue than it was in the 1980s and 1990s. Other papers offer fresh perspectives on the prototype structure of lexical categories, while generally accepted notions about the radial network structure of categories are questioned in papers on the development of word meaning in child language acquisition and in diachrony. Additional topics include the interaction of lexical and constructional meaning, and the relationship between word meanings and the contexts in which the words are encountered. This book is of interest to semanticists and cognitive linguists, as well as to scholars working in the broader field of cognitive science.

Words and Other Wonders
Cognitive Linguistics has given a major impetus to the study of semantics and the lexicon. The present volume brings together seventeen previously published papers that testify to the fruitfulness of Cognitive Linguistics for the study of lexical and semantic topics. Spanning the period from the late 1980s to recent years, the collection features a number of papers that may be considered classics within the field of cognitive linguistic lexicology. The papers are grouped in thematic sections. The first section deals with prototypicality as a theoretical and practical model of semantic description. The second section discusses polysemy and criteria for distinguishing between meanings. The thi...
