Derivation
Derivation gilt neben Komposition als ein wesentliches Verfahren zur Bildung neuer Worter. Derivation geschieht durch die Verbindung (zumeist) selbststandiger Elemente (Stamme) mit solchen Elementen, die selbst nicht wortfahig sind. Im vorliegenden Buch werden die drei zentralen Muster der Derivation, die Suffigierung, Prafigierung und Zirkumfigierung, ausfuhrlich beschrieben. Neu abgeleitete Worter (Derivate) erscheinen jedoch nicht isoliert, sie haben besondere Beruhrungspunkte mit anderen Bereichen der Grammatik. Es wird daher einerseits auf Wechselbeziehungen zur Phonologie und Syntax verwiesen. Andererseits werden die Grenzen der Derivation zu ahnlichen Mustern wie etwa Zusammenbildungen, Kurzungen oder Phrasenkomposita erlautert. Abschliessend wird exemplarisch gezeigt, wie Derivation in der lexikalistischen Theorie behandelt wird. Integrierte Ubungsaufgaben dienen dazu, die Analysefahigkeit der Studierenden zu schulen.

This volume probes into the mechanisms of how languages are created, legitimized, maintained, or destroyed in the service of the extant nation-states across Central Europe.

It analyzes languages an...

Active Ageing

This study argues that the traditional view of ageing is gradually being replaced by a new perspective, one with increased focus on older people's capabilities, resources and potentials. It suggests that population ageing does not imply inevitable declines in a society's competitiveness or reduced intergenerational solidarity. Amongst other policy recommendations, the study proposes flexibility in age limits, to prevent exclusion of older people from areas of societal responsibility. The study encourages a stronger focus on the productive participation of older people in political and public discourse, and support for civil engagement of older people through mechanisms such as incentive systems.
