Abstract

Wilhelm Scherer (1841-1886) has gained wide recognition for his extraordinary accomplishments in linguistics as well as in literary studies.His first and most important contribution to the development of linguistic science was his monumental work of 508 pages Zur Geschichte der deutschen Sprache, published in 1868.His stated objective was "to subject all aspects of the Germanic grammar to a new treatment." While such a wording sounds rather modest, the actual implementation in his book, if viewed within the framework of his time, might very appropriately be called revolution

Abstract

Dieser Band ist Volkmar Lehmann zum 60. Geburtstag gewidmet. Gleichzeitig bietet uns das Buch die Gelegenheit, eine kleine Zusammenschau der Arbeiten des Jubilars vorzustellen und unsere Wertschätzung dieser Werke auszudrücken, indem jeder der Artikel eine These von Volkmar Lehmann aufgreift. Einen inhaltlichen Zusammenhang erhalten die hier versammelten Artikel auch dadurch, dass in ihnen die Frage der sprachlichen Entwicklung eine Rolle spielt. Mit dem Titel "Entwicklungen in Slavischen Sprachen 2" knüpft man gleichzeitig an einen vorausgegangenen Sammelband des gleichen Titels an. Während im ersten Band jedoch Artikel zu diachronen Fragestellungen zusammengefasst sind, geht es hier um eine breitere Auffassung des Entwicklungsbegriffs.

Abstract

Wolfgang Wildgen presents three perspectives on the evolution of language as a key element in the evolution of mankind in terms of the development of human symbol use. (1) He approaches this question by constructing possible scenarios in which mechanisms necessary for symbolic behavior could have developed, on the basis of the state of the art in evolutionary anthropology and genetics. (2) Non-linguistic symbolic behavior such as cave art is investigated as an important clue to the developmental background to the origin of language. Creativity and innovation and a population's ability to integrate individual experiments are considered with regard to historical examples of symbolic creativity in the visual arts and natural sciences. (3) Probable linguistic 'fossils' of such linguistic innovations are examined. The results of this study allow for new proposals for a 'protolanguage' and for a theory of language within a broader philosophical and semiotic framework, and raises interesting questions as to human consciousness, universal grammar, and linguistic methodology. (Series B).

Abstract

Les treize études réunies dans ce volume sont consacrées au phénomène de la dérivation depuis l’indo-européen (sanskrit védique, tokharien, vieux norrois, vieux slave, grec ancien, latin) jusqu’à nos langues modernes. Les contributions réunies ici proposent, pour une part d’entre elles, de nouvelles hypothèses sur l’origine de certains suffixes, tandis que d’autres exposent les résultats de leurs évolutions et leur productivité. Les observations synchroniques et diachroniques sur le comportement suffixal concernent à la fois la sémantique, la question du développement du vocabulaire spécialisé et celle de leur rôle proprement grammatical, en particulier le rapport entre adjectif et substantif. Une contribution centrée sur l’accentuation forme la conclusion de l’ensemble. The thirteen papers brought together in this volume are devoted to the phenomenon of derivation from Indo-European (Vedic Sanskrit, Tokharian, Old Norse, Old Slavic, Ancient Greek, Latin) up to our modern languages. The contributions gathered here offer, for a part of them, new hypotheses on the origin of certain suffixes, while others expose the results of their evolutions and their productivity. Synchronic and diachronic observations on suffixal behavior concern semantics, the question of the development of specialized vocabulary and that of their strictly grammatical role, in particular the relationship between adjective and substantive. A contribution focused on the accent concludes the volume.

Abstract

Dans le cadre des rapports transversaux entre les sphères linguistiques germanophone et francophone en Europe, les conditions et les pratiques de la traduction, envisagées dans une perspective diachronique, sont enrichies, dans la lignée du spatial turn des études culturelles, par le facteur espace, afin de montrer ou d’interroger la coïncidence entre la circulation des personnes et des textes. Dans quels cas, dans quelles périodes historiques en particulier le déplacement des hommes favorise-t-il la prise en compte de l’étranger ? Quel est le lien avec la traduction ? Quelles sont les différences dans la position sociale et institutionnelle du traducteur d’une ère culturelle à l’autre ? Y a-t-il des lieux spécifiques de la traduction ? Traduction et histoire mettent-ils en jeu des transferts binaires, triangulaires ? La réflexion s’inscrit globalement dans un temps long, allant du Moyen Âge à nos jours, la période du xviiie au xxe siècle étant cependant privilégiée, et certains moments clés comme la Révolution française, l’entre-deuxguerres (pour les exilés allemands) et la période de l’Occupation, étant cruciaux.

Abstract

This is a comprehensive and wide-ranging 2002 guide to language and society in South Africa. As the authors demonstrate, the South African context offers a treasure trove of data and examples for linguistic and sociolinguistic study. The book surveys the most important language groupings in the region in terms of pre-colonial and colonial history; contact between the different language varieties, leading to language loss, pidginization, creolization and new mixed varieties; language and public policy issues associated with the transition to a post-apartheid society and its eleven official languages. It details the history of indigenous languages, the impact of European languages upon them, and of transformations to the European languages themselves. Written by a team of leading researchers, all the chapters are informed by the importance of socio-political history in understanding questions of language. The book will be welcomed by students and researchers in language and linguistics, sociology, anthropology and social history.

Abstract

David Crystal, world authority on the English language, presents a lively and factual account of the rise of English as a global language and explores the whys and wherefores of the history, current status and future potential of English as the international language of communication. English has been lauded as the most 'successful' language ever, with 1,500 million speakers worldwide; but Crystal avoids taking sides and tells the story in a measured but engaging way, backed by facts and figures. This new edition of his classic book includes new material (on the vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation of New Englishes), footnotes, new tables, and a full bibliography. There are updates throughout. This is a book for anyone of any nationality concerned with English: teachers, students, language professionals, politicians, general readers and anyone with a love of the language.

Abstract

Norbert Aujoulat est responsable du département d’art pariétal au Centre National de la préhistoire à Périgueux (ministère de la Culture et de la Communication/ sous-direction de l’Archéologie). L’analyse descriptive d’une peinture ou d’une gravure préhistorique reposant en partie sur sa reproduction, le transfert de l’image implique donc une méthodologie spécifique et un matériel parfaitement adapté. Ce travail est à la fois une synthèse des travaux antérieurs relatifs aux techniques de relevé et le résultat de plusieurs années de recherches personnelles concernant en particulier l’enregistrement photographique des données et leur traitement en laboratoire par ordinateur. Conçu dans un esprit très didactique, il se présente comme un véritable manuel, indispensable à toute recherche dans le domaine de l’art pariétal. Norbert Aujoulat is head of the cave art section at the National Prehistory Centre in Perigueux (Ministry of Culture and Communication/Department of Archaeology). The descriptive analysis of a prehistoric painting or engraving depends, to a great extent, on its reproduction, which, in its turn, depends on a specific methodology and appropriate material. This book is a synthesis of earlier work dealing with reproduction techniques and is also the result of several years of personal research into the photographic recording of data and their Processing by computer in the laboratory. Highly didactic, it is intended as a practical manual, indispensable for any research in the field of cave art.
