English Historical Linguistics 2010
The use of linguistic forms derived from the lexicon denoting sacred entities is often subject to tabooing behaviour. In the 15th and 16th century phrases like by gogges swete body or by cockes bones allowed speakers to address God without really saying the name; cf. Hock (1991: 295). The religious interjections based on the phonetically corrupt gog and cock are evidenced to have gained currency in the 16th century. In the 17th century all interjections based on religious appellations ceased to appear on stage in accordance with the regulations of the Act to Rest.
Etymologisches Wörterbuch der friesischen Adjektiva
Das Etymologische Wörterbuch der friesischen Adjektiva erfaßt das gesamte Inventar der alt- und neufriesischen Adjektiva. Damit ist erstmals ein Teilbereich des überlieferten friesischen Wortschatzes systematisch erfaßt und etymologisch dargestellt worden. Die Beschreibung des weitverstreuten Belegmaterials aus den bislang bekannten altfriesischen Handschriften sowie der heutigen nord-, ost- und westfriesischen Dialekte erfolgt nach sprachgeographischen Kriterien, indem für jedes Adjektiv seine Lautgeschichte, Wortbildung und Wortbedeutungsentwicklung erörtert wird als Reflex bestimmter diachroner und synchroner Vorgänge innerhalb der einzelnen alt- und neufriesischen Mundartgruppen, ...
The Origins of Old Germanic Studies in the Low Countries
This volume deals with the comparative study of Old Germanic languages in the Low Countries, in the middle of the seventeenth century; with special attention to the work of the philologist and lawyer Jan van Vliet (1622-1666).
A Bibliographical Guide to Old Frisian Studies
This bibliography aims serve the demands and wishes of students of Old Frisian for its own sake as well as for those who want to use Old Frisian for comparative purposes. Although it concentrates on language and literature, titles have also been included which deal with more or less peripheral matters such as Ingvaeonic, history, legal history and daily life in Medieval Frisia. The bibliography is divided into three parts. Part I lists in alphabetical order all the books and articles. Part II alphabetically indexes the reviewers occurring in Part I. Part III contains an analytical index to Part I, enabling scholars to survey what work has been done on a particular subject.
Studies in West Frisian Grammar
In this volume, Germen de Haan gives a multi-faceted view of the syntax, sociolinguistics, and phonology of West-Frisian. The author discusses distinct aspects of the syntax of verbs in Frisian: finiteness and Verb Second, embedded root phenomena, the verbal complex, verbal complementation, and complementizer agreement. Because Frisian has minority language status and is of interest to sociolinguists, the author reviews the linguistic changes in Frisian under the influence of the dominant Dutch language and, more generally, reflects on how to deal with contact-induced change in grammar. Finally, in three phonological articles, the author discusses nasalization in Frisian, the putatively symmetrical vowel inventory of Frisian, and the variation between schwa + sonorant consonants and syllabic sonorant consonants.
Mostly Medieval
Vita mortuorum in memoria vivorum — volume 5 of the Beyond Language series is dedicated to the memory of Professor Jacek Fisiak, one of the titans in English historical linguistics in Poland and beyond. For over 40 years, he taught at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, where he established a stronghold of English studies in Europe. His efforts were appreciated with medals, awards, honorific titles, and mentoring positions amongst academic bodies. “The present In Memoriam volume undoubtedly counts among the all-encompassing and much-expected individual and collective acts of commemoration to recognize the authority of Professor Jacek Fisiak—the great scientist, the indefatigable Org...
Word-Formation
This handbook comprises an in-depth presentation of the state of the art in word-formation. The five volumes contain 207 articles written by leading international scholars. The XVI chapters of the handbook provide the reader, in both general articles and individual studies, with a wide variety of perspectives: word-formation as a linguistic discipline (history of science, theoretical concepts), units and processes in word-formation, rules and restrictions, semantics and pragmatics, foreign word-formation, language planning and purism, historical word-formation, word-formation in language acquisition and aphasia, word-formation and language use, tools in word-formation research. The final chapter comprises 74 portraits of word-formation in the individual languages of Europe and offers an innovative perspective. These portraits afford the first overview of this kind and will prove useful for future typological research. This handbook will provide an essential reference for both advanced students and researchers in word-formation and related fields within linguistics.
Nordfriesische Grabhügelnamen mit anthroponymem Erstglied
Die vorliegende Monographie behandelt die nordfriesischen Grabhügelnamen und die darin enthaltenen Anthroponyme. Die sprachgeschichtliche Analyse des Namenmaterials stützt sich dabei auf ein vielschichtiges Quellenmaterial, wobei ein spezielles Augenmerk den morphologischen Merkmalen gilt. Insbesondere die Art der genitivischen Kompositionsfuge scheint Rückschlüsse auf die Genese bestimmter Namentypen und ihrer Deklinationszugehörigkeit im (Nord)friesischen zuzulassen. Schließlich versteht sich die Arbeit auch als ein Beitrag zu einem (Nord)friesischen Namenbuch, das nach wie vor eines der größten Desiderate friesischer Namenkunde ist.
