"This book is the first typological study of adjective attribution marking. Its focus lies on Northern Eurasia, although it covers many more languages and presents an ontology of morphosyntactic categories relevant to noun phrase structure in general. Beside treating synchronic data, the study contributes to historical linguistics by reconstructing the origin of new types specifically in the language contact area between the Indo-European and Uralic families."

"This book is a collection of contemporary essays and squibs exploring the mental representation of Spanish and other languages in the Romance family. Although largely formal in orientation, they incorporate experimental and corpus data to inform questions of synchronic and diachronic importance. As a whole, these contributions explore two areas of particular interest to linguistic theorizing. The first is linguistic interfaces with chapters on syntax-information structure, syntax-prosody, syntax-semantics, and lexicon-phonology. The second consists of explorations of noun phrases of all sizes-from clitics to nominalized clauses. The results and conclusions of these studies encourage researchers to continue to explore individual languages in particular in order to gain insight on human language in general. This edited volume in honor of Dr. Paula Kempchinsky is reflective of the diversity of approaches that inspired her teaching, research, and mentoring for over thirty years at the University of Iowa and beyond"--

What is semantic transparency, why is it important, and which factors play a role in its assessment? This work approaches these questions by investigating English compound nouns. The first part of the book gives an overview of semantic transparency in the analysis of compound nouns, discussing its role in models of morphological processing and differentiating it from related notions. After a chapter on the semantic analysis of complex nominals, it closes with a chapter on previous attempts to model semantic transparency. The second part introduces new empirical work on semantic transparency, introducing two different sets of statistical models for compound transparency. In particular, two semantic factors were explored: the semantic relations holding between compound constituents and the role of different readings of the constituents and the whole compound, operationalized in terms of meaning shifts and in terms of the distribution of specifc readings across constituent families.

This book examines the diverse prosody of compound nouns in Kansai Japanese, with a special focus on a class of compounds with particularly variable prosody, whose unique prosody is potentially endangered due to their structure and influence from Tokyo Japanese. These compounds serve as important evidence for recursion in prosodic structure in theories of the syntax-prosody interface, as they simultaneously resemble not only other compound words but also non-compound phrases, making them valuable test cases for compound prosodic structure. This book discusses potential reasons for these compounds' prosodic variabilty and what may condition their unique prosody, based on results from novel fieldwork. A unified account of compound prosody in Kansai and three other Japanese dialects is also presented.

Die seit 1887 mit Unterbrechung von 1912-1946 kontinuierlich erscheinenden "Pis'ma i bumagi" Peters des Grossen sind nicht nur ein historisches sondern auch ein sprachliches Denkmal. Das umfangreiche Wortmaterial des inzwischen bis zum 12. Band (1712) gediehenen Werkes ist geeignet, Aufschlüsse über die in der sprachwissenschaftlichen Literatur wenig berücksichtigte Epoche der Wende vom 17. zum 18. Jahrhundert und des Anfangs des 18. Jahrhunderts zu geben.

Without obvious syntactic anchoring, at the crossroads of divergent approaches - rhetorical, enunciative, pragmatic - and victim of its definitional vagueness, the nominal apostrophe has so far received little attention from linguists. The profusion of designations (vocative, term / address name, apostrophe) testifies to the diversity of the fields concerned, and underlines the difficulty of thinking of the name support of the interpellation as an object of research in its own right.

Contrastive Linguistics (CL), Translation Studies (TS) and Machine Translation (MT) have common grounds: They all work at the crossroad where two or more languages meet. Despite their inherent relatedness, methodological exchange between the three disciplines is rare. This special issue touches upon areas where the three fields converge. It results directly from a workshop at the 2011 German Association for Language Technology and Computational Linguistics (GSCL) conference in Hamburg where researchers from the three fields presented and discussed their interdisciplinary work. While the studies contained in this volume draw from a wide variety of objectives and methods, and various areas of overlaps between CL, TS and MT are addressed, the volume is by no means exhaustive with regard to this topic. Further cross-fertilisation is not only desirable, but almost mandatory in order to tackle future tasks and endeavours, and this volume is committed to bringing these three fields even closer together.

This book looks at some phenomena within the grammar of the noun phrase in a group of traditional North Germanic varieties mainly spoken in Sweden and Finland, usually seen as Swedish dialects, although the differences between them and Standard Swedish are often larger than between the latter and the other standard Mainland Scandinavian languages. In addition to being conservative in many respects – e.g. in preserving nominal cases and subject-verb agreement – these varieties also display many innovative features. These include extended uses of definite articles, incorporation of attributive adjectives, and a variety of possessive constructions. Although considerable attention has been given to these phenomena in earlier literature, this book is the first to put them in the perspective of typology and grammaticalisation processes. It also looks for a plausible account of the historical origin of the changes involved, arguing that many of them spread from central Sweden, where they were later reverted due to the influence from prestige varieties coming from southern Scandinavia.

La notion de "nom abstrait" a derrière elle une longue tradition - abordée dès la période scholastique, elle accompagne plusieurs tournants de l’histoire de la logique et de la grammaire -, mais aucun travail d’ensemble ne lui avait, à ce jour, été consacré. Le colloque organisé à Dunkerque en septembre 1992, qui a réuni plus d’une cinquantaine de chercheurs français et étrangers, avait donc pour but de faire le point sur un problème d’autant plus important qu’il concerne à la fois la logique, les différents champs de la linguistique et la traductologie. La question du nom abstrait soulève plusieurs difficultés, dont la principale est de déterminer s’il est possible d’associer la notion intuitive d’abstraction à des propriétés logico-syntaxiques et à des caractéristiques morphologiques. Le nom abstrait semble en effet soumis à deux contraintes antagonistes : l’influence sémantique de sa base prédicative et le rôle formel de la catégorie nominale. On trouvera donc dans cet ouvrage un ensemble de réflexions critiques et d’analyses, portant non seulement sur la distinction entre noms concrets et noms abstraits et sur sa validité pour la description linguistique, mais encore sur la pertinence de la notion d’abstraction en général dans l’approche des faits de langue. Sous des angles très divers, toutes les démarches s’accordent à reconnaître l’importance de ce mouvement delà pensée qui, d’une part, permet de séparer les qualités et les procès de leur support - ou si l’on préféré les prédicats de leurs arguments - et qui, de l’autre, conduit à négliger les différences individuelles pour acceder au général.
