Abstract

This is is a first rigorous attempt by scholars of Hebrew to evaluate the syntactic impact of the various languages with which Modern Hebrew was in contact during its formative years. Twenty-four different innovative syntactic constructions of Modern Hebrew are analysed, and shown to originate in previous stages of Hebrew, which, since the third century CE, solely functioned as a scholarly and liturgical language. The syntactic changes in the constructions are traced to the native languages of the first Modern Hebrew learners, and later to further reanalysis by the first generation of native speakers.

Abstract

Politically correct pundits have been attempting to relegate Standard English to the status of a dialect, since they have succumbed to the idea that it is connected to 'class'. This book tears up this falsehood, pointing out that it is a question of education far more than of class. And, even then, why attack class? This linguistic disease has now infected the British Civil Service, and, in turn, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, once regarded as the bastion of good, clear English. The bo...

Abstract

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, zugleich aber auch seine etmylogische und formative Einbettung in den übergeordneten germanischen und indogermanischen Kontext. Dabei kommen ebenfalls die vielfältigen Lehneinflüsse des Niederdeutschen, Niederländischen und Dänischen auf das Friesische ausgiebig zur Sprache. Die Überschaubarkeit des dargestellten sprachlichen Subsystems der Adjektiva erlaubt es zudem, formative und etymologische Einzelfragen im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Etymologika wesentlich tiefgründiger und systematischer darzulegen.

Abstract

The phonology, morphology and lexicon of late Zhou Chinese are examined in this volume. It is argued that a proper understanding of Old Chinese morphology is essential in correctly reconstructing the phonology. Based on evidence from word-families, modern dialects and related words in neighboring languages, Old Chinese words are claimed to consist of a monosyllabic root, to which a variety of derivational affixes attached. This made Old Chinese typologically more like modern languages such as Khmer, Gyarong or Atayal, than like Middle and modern Chinese, where only faint traces of the old morp

Abstract

The Proceedings of the IX Congress of the International Society of Italian Linguistics and Philology (SILFI), "Perspectives in the study of the Italian lexicon" (Florence, June 14-17, 2006), include 88 contributions by Italian and foreign scholars. The twelve sections into which they are divided indicate as many study perspectives, testifying to the vitality of the great tradition of Italian speech studies. The Congress confirms the importance of tradition but also shows how new fields of study, concerning the use of IT infrastructures for the acquisition and conservation of linguistic heritage, are now central to both research and the establishment of essential resources for defence and promotion of our language.
