Abstract

Sentence types and word-order patterns in Arabic have been a matter of debate and controversy for a long period of time. They were hotly discussed by the medieval Arab grammarians and continue to be a major topic of discussion among modern scholars. This book describes the development of the medieval grammarians' theory of sentence types; a development from the theory of ‘amal , which lies at the heart of medieval Arabic grammatical tradition. Each major topic is discussed with a view to explore the basic principles underlying the medieval grammarians' arguments. Special attention is given to conceptual problems arising from conflicts with the theory of ‘amal . This is followed by an assessment of the contributions made by modern scholars to the analysis and description of the constructions involved. Modern Arabists and linguists are shown to have concentrated on word-order patterns rather than on sentence types, placing special emphasis on the functional aspects of word order variations in Arabic.

Abstract

Letter Writing and Language Change outlines the historical sociolinguistic value of letter analysis, both in theory and practice. The chapters in this volume make use of insights from all three 'Waves of Variation Studies', and many of them, either implicitly or explicitly, look at specific aspects of the language of the letter writers in an effort to discover how those writers position themselves and how they attempt, consciously or unconsciously, to construct social identities. The letters are largely from people in the lower strata of social structure, either to addressees of the same social status or of a higher status. In this sense the question of the use of 'standard' and/or 'nonstandard' varieties of English is in the forefront of the contributors' interest. Ultimately, the studies challenge the assumption that there is only one 'legitimate' and homogenous form of English or of any other language.

Abstract

Bereits lange vor der Etablierung einer nationalen Standardaussprache haben sich Sprecher in der mündlichen Kommunikation einer Form des Hochdeutschen bedient, wenn sie entweder überregional verstanden werden oder durch ihre Sprachverwendung ein gewisses Prestige erlangen wollten. In der Wissenschaft besteht Konsens, dass dieses landschaftliche Hochdeutsch regional divergent und zudem dialektal geprägt gewesen sein muss. Eine empirische Basis für diese Annahme fehlte bisher jedoch weitgehend. Brigitte Ganswindt rekonstruiert erstmals das landschaftliche Hochdeutsch des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts auf einer breiten empirischen Grundlage hinsichtlich seiner phonetisch-phonologischen Merkmale. Sie zeigt, dass das landschaftliche Hochdeutsch je nach Region unterschiedlich stark regional bzw. dialektal geprägt war. Mit den Ergebnissen belegt Ganswindt nicht nur, dass die historische Prestigevarietät hinsichtlich ihrer lautlichen Merkmale diatopisch verschieden war, sie zeigt auch Raumstrukturen des landschaftlichen Hochdeutsch auf und zeichnet seine Entwicklung zu den modernen standardnahen Registern nach.
