Although the notion of procedural meaning is found in areas such as discourse markers, reference, tense, modality and intonation, until now there has been no single volume entirely devoted to it. Over 25 years, since the initial proposal by Blakemore, a number of refinements have been suggested, yet some criticisms have also been raised. The role and status of the conceptual / procedural distinction within a theory of human communication and the nature of procedural encoding were in need of reassessment in the light of current research in linguistic theory, cognitive science, experimental pragmatics and language acquisition. The papers collected here serve this general purpose from different standpoints. Some of them consider the topic from the angle of its theoretical foundations and put forth original proposals aimed at clarifying the most controversial issues. Others take a more data-driven orientation and offer novel analyses illustrating how encoded instructions work and how much can be gained from approaching certain linguistic phenomena in procedural terms. The contributions in this volume represent an inflection point in the delimitation and understanding of the notion of procedural meaning and open new paths for future research.

The papers in the first section of this volume, 'Variation in Arabic', deal with a wide range of topics: the function of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) vs. dialect variation in political speeches, patterns of variation in concord in Cairene dialect, the extent to which Cairenes 'know' MSA, and the scope of emphaticization in different dialects.In the section on 'Phonological Perspectives' there are papers dealing with emphasis spread and with gemination/degemination/antigemination in Iraqi Arabic.

Neuere Entwicklungen der Linguistik verleihen der historischen Semantik innovative Impulse. Für die romanistische Wortforschung ist der Moment gekommen, Sprachtheoretiker und -historiker miteinander ins Gespräch zu bringen. Soweit die strukturalistische Semantik in kognitive Konzepte der historischen Semantik integriert wird, bleibt sie für die lexikalische Analyse älterer Sprachstufen attraktiv und für die Linguistik des Bedeutungswandels relevant. Kognitive Modelle erfahren neue Akzentuierungen in Richtung auf eine pragmatische historische Semantik, die für sprachhistorische Fragen besonders offen ist. Recent developments of linguistics have given innovative impulses to historical semantics. For the Romance study of words, the time has come to establish a dialogue between theorists and historians of language. As far as structural semantics are integrated into cognitive concepts of historical semantics, it remains attractive for the lexical analysis of older language levels and relevant for the linguistics of semantic change/change in meaning. Cognitive models are undergoing new accentuations towards a pragmatic historical semantics, which are open to/receptive to language-historical questions in particular.
