Abstract

Gegenstand des Sprachhistorischen Arbeitsbuchs zur deutschen Gegenwartssprache sind solche Phänomene der Gegenwartssprache, die auf den ersten Blick Unregelmäßigkeiten und Störungen des Systems zu sein scheinen. Die Darstellung bezieht sich auf Erscheinungen aus den Bereichen der Phonologie, Graphematik, Flexionsmorphologie, Syntax und Lexikologie, wie z.B. das Nebeneinander von verschiedenen Schreibungen für den gleichen Laut (heute/Häute), das Nebeneinander von verschiedenen Pluralformen (,Länder'/,Lande'), Unregelmäßigkeiten in der Verbflexion (ziehen/zogen), syntaktische Konkurrenzen wie zwischen gedenken mit Genitiv, mit Dativ oder mit der Präposition an, lexikalische Konkurrenzen zwischen heimischen und entlehnten Wörtern und Wortbildungen (Geiger/Violinist). Die behandelten Erscheinungen sind vielfach Gegenstand von Normfragen; sie sind zugleich Ergebnisse des Sprachwandels auf allen Ebenen des sprachlichen Systems. Das Buch erklärt die ausgewählten gegenwartssprachlichen Befunde aus der Sprachgeschichte und dem Sprachwandel; es ist aber keine Darstellung der deutschen Sprachgeschichte oder des Sprachwandels in systematischer Form. Das Buch wendet sich an fortgeschrittene Germanistikstudenten, insbesondere an Studierende in der Examensvorbereitung. Sprachwissenschaftliche und sprachhistorische Grundkenntnisse werden daher vorausgesetzt. Von den Absolventen germanistischer Studiengänge, insbesondere von künftigen Deutschlehrern, wird die Fähigkeit erwartet und in Klausuren geprüft, sprachhistorische Kenntnisse für das Verständnis gegenwartssprachlicher Phänomene fruchtbar zu machen. Zu jedem Kapitel des Arbeitsbuches werden solche Aufgaben vorgestellt und bearbeitet. Das Buch dient daher auch zur Examensvorbereitung.

Abstract

More and more historical texts are becoming available in digital form. Digitization of paper documents is motivated by the aim of preserving cultural heritage and making it more accessible, both to laypeople and scholars. As digital images cannot be searched for text, digitization projects increasingly strive to create digital text, which can be searched and otherwise automatically processed, in addition to facsimiles. Indeed, the emerging field of digital humanities heavily relies on the availability of digital text for its studies. Together with the increasing availability of historical texts in digital form, there is a growing interest in applying natural language processing (NLP) methods and tools to historical texts. However, the specific linguistic properties of historical texts--the lack of standardized orthography in particular--pose special challenges for NLP.

Abstract

Since the publication of the still very valuable Biblioteca histórica de la filología by Cipriano Muñoz y Manzano, conde de la Viñaza (Madrid, 1893), our knowledge of the history of the study of the Spanish language has grown considerably. It has been the purpose of BICRES I (from the early beginnings to 1600), published in 1994, to bring together already available bibliographical information with the more recent research findings, scattered in many places, books and articles. BICRES II (covering the 1601-1700 period) followed in 1999 and BICRES III (including period 1701-1800) was publ

Abstract

This is the second of the two closely linked but self-contained volumes that comprise James Hurford's acclaimed exploration of the biological evolution of language. In the first book he looked at the evolutionary origins of meaning, ending as our distant ancestors were about to step over the brink to modern language. He now considers how that step might have been taken and the consequences it undoubtedly had. The capacity for language lets human beings formulate and express an unlimited range of propositions about real or fictitious worlds. It allows them to communicate these propositions, often overlaid with layers of nuance and irony, to other humans who can then interpret and respond to them. These processes take place at breakneck speed. Using a language means learning a vast number of arbitrary connections between forms and meanings and rules on how to manipulate them, both of which a normal human child can do in its first few years of life. James Hurford looks at how this miracle came about. The book is divided into three parts. In the first the author surveys the syntactic structures evident in the communicative behaviour of animals, such as birds and whales, and discusses how vocabularies of learned symbols could have evolved and the effects this had on human thought. In the second he considers how far the evolution of grammar depended on biological or cultural factors. In the third and final part he describes the probable route by which the human language faculty and languages evolved from simple beginnings to their present complex state.

Abstract

The International Conference on Historical Linguistics has always been a forum that reflects the general state of the art in the field, and the 2009 edition, held in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, fully allows the conclusion that the field has been thriving over the years. The studies presented in this volume are an expression of ongoing theoretical discussions as well as new analytical approaches to the study of issues concerning language change. Taken together, they reflect some of the current challenges in the field, as well as the opportunities offered by judicious use of theoretical models an

Abstract

This book presents a comprehensive survey of historically attested relative clause constructions from a diachronic typological perspective. Systematic integration of historical data and a typological approach demonstrates how typology and historical linguistics can each benefit from attention to the other. The diachronic behaviour of relative clauses is mapped across a broad range of genetically and geographically diverse languages. Central to the discussion is the strength of evidence for what have previously been claimed to be 'natural' or even 'universal' pathways of change. While many feat

Abstract

Bringing the advances of theoretical linguistics to the study of language change in a systematic way, this innovative textbook demonstrates the mutual relevance of historical linguistics and contemporary linguistics. Numerous case studies throughout the book show both that theoretical linguistics can be used to solve problems where traditional approaches to historical linguistics have failed to produce satisfying results, and that the results of historical research can have an impact on theory. The book first explains the nature of human language and the sources of language change in broad terms. It then focuses on different types of language change from contemporary viewpoints, before exploring comparative reconstruction - the most spectacular success of traditional historical linguistics - and the problems inherent in trying to devise new methods for linguistic comparison. Positioned at the cutting edge of the field, the book argues that this approach can and should lead to the re-integration of historical linguistics as one of the core areas in the study of language.

Abstract

Le Moyen Âge fut peut-être l'âge d'or de cette diversité linguistique tant menacée de nos jours par la globalisation. Des langues héritières du passé, sacralisées par leur rôle de support des textes divins, y côtoyaient toutes sortes d'idiomes, aujourd'hui disparus ou marginalisés, comme à l'origine de nos modernités. Comment recréer ces paysages sonores où s'entrechoquaient des dizaines de cultures linguistiques, orales et écrites, guerrières et marchandes, globales et locales, populaires et savantes ? Benoît Grévin aborde leur histoire dans une perspective anthropologique et comparative, par un aller-retour entre deux des grandes aires de civilisation qui conditionnent notre modernité : la chrétienté occidentale, dominée par la référence au latin impérial et papal, classique et biblique, sous l'égide duquel s'organise la multiplicité des cultures linguistiques romanes, germaniques, slaves, celtes, etc., et l'islam classique, où la centralité de l'arabe, coranique et poétique, scientifique ou dialectal, recouvre les histoires entrecroisées des cultures turques, iraniennes ou berbères... De Londres à Samarkand, de la Sicile au Caire, Benoît Grévin nous entraîne bien au-delà de la présentation traditionnelle de ces cultures linguistiques, à travers l'étude de la pensée médiévale du langage, pour nous initier aux mécanismes de transmission des cultures textuelles, ainsi qu'aux procédures de rédaction des grands textes politiques, religieux ou littéraires, de part et d'autre de la Méditerranée. Il se donne ainsi les moyens de retrouver, derrière leurs différences, les caractéristiques communes à ces deux Babel médiévales.
