Abstract

The present collection of articles brings together experimental work in the field of segmental and prosodic processing and representation in phonology and phonetics. Contributions focus on the exploration of human cognitive, articulatory, and perceptual abilities dealing with all types of phonetic and phonological entities. Main topics of investigation include: (1) sounds and sound-changing processes—systemic and functional aspects, (2) prosodic units such as syllables and metrical feet—systemic properties, processing, and phonetic consequences, and (3) tones as building blocks of the sentence melody—their relation to the level of linguistic expressions on the one hand, their phonetic realization (e.g., tonal height and contours) and perception on the other hand. In addition, topics (1) and (2) extend to the question how phonological representations are stored in the mental lexicon: specified minimally in terms of categorical phonological information or as variable phonetic imprint of the exemplars in the input. Diagonally to these thematic domains, the present Research Topic shows a strong focus on up-to-date experimental approaches, going far beyond traditional linguistic analysis, and making use of psycho- and neurolinguistic methodologies.

Abstract

Das mehrsprachige Klassenzimmer   Mehrsprachigkeit ist in unseren Schulen und Kindergärten heute eine Realität. Lehrerinnen und Lehrer sind damit konfrontiert, dass viele ihrer Schülerinnen und Schüler keine deutschen Muttersprachler sind; sie wachsen mehrsprachig auf, manche lernen erst in der Schule Deutsch. Diese Situation empfinden Lehrer, Bildungsplaner, Didaktiker – und Eltern – häufig als Last, die das Bildungsniveau an den Schulen drückt. Dabei ist Mehrsprachigkeit ein wertvolles Gut. Um dieses Mehr an Sprachen und an Unterrichtsmöglichkeiten schätzen und nutzen zu können, müssen Lehrer und Erzieher etwas über die Sprachen wissen, die ihre Schüler in den Unterricht mitbringen.    Genau hier setzt dieses Buch an: Es liefert anregende und dabei linguistisch fundierte Informationen zu über 20 Sprachen, die von Schülern in Deutschland am häufigsten gesprochen werden – von Türkisch, Arabisch und Polnisch über entfernte Sprachen wie Hindi und Japanisch bis hin zu bekannteren Sprachen wie Italienisch und Englisch. In jedem Kapitel werden ausgesuchte Eigenheiten dieser Sprachen in Laut und Schrift, Wortbildung, Satzbau, Bedeutung und Verwendung anregend dargestellt – begleitet von Zungenbrechern, Gedichten und interessanten Hintergrundinformationen. Die Autorinnen und Autoren der Einzelkapitel sind Linguisten und Experten der jeweiligen Sprachen, die für dieses Buch ihren Fachjargon beiseitegelegt haben. So sind die Texte für den Laien gut nachvollziehbar und können zum Beispiel auch als Grundlage für Unterrichtsmaterialien und -diskussionen dienen.    Das mehrsprachige Klassenzimmer ist kein didaktischer Leitfaden, sondern bietet eine Fülle von Informationen und Anregungen, die Leserinnen und Leser nach Bedarf in Unterrichtsvorbereitungen, in die Konzeption von Lehrbüchern, in politische Überlegungen zur schulischen Integration oder in ihre persönliche Weiterbildung einfließen lassen können.   Die Herausgeber   Manfred Krifka ist seit 2000 Professor an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Dort ist er auch Direktor des Zentrums für Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS), an dem dieses Buch entstand.    Joanna Błaszczak ist seit 2008 Professorin an der Universität Breslau, wo sie das Zentrum für Allgemeine und Vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft leitet.    Prof. Dr. Annette Leßmöllmann ist Linguistin und Professorin für Wissenschaftskommunikation und Linguistik am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT).   André Meinunger forscht am ZAS und ist Privatdozent an der Universität Leipzig. Er ist der Autor des bekannten Buches Sick of Sick?    Barbara Stiebels forschte bis 2012 am ZAS und wechselte dann auf eine Professur für Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft an der Universität Leipzig.    Rosemarie Tracy ist eine bekannte Expertin zu den Themen Spracherwerb und Mehrsprachigkeit. Sie ist seit 1995 Professorin an der Universität Mannheim.    Hubert Truckenbrodt forscht am ZAS und ist außerplanmäßiger Professor an der Humboldt-Universität. 2006 erhielt er den Landeslehrpreis von Baden-Württemberg.

Abstract

This volume presents a cross-section of research addressing the interaction of two prominent areas in linguistic theory: parenthesis and ellipsis. The contributions address various theoretical questions raised by 'incomplete' parenthetical constituents, covering a diverse empirical domain and various subfields of linguistics.

Abstract

This book addresses a general phenomenon in the European languages: verb second. The articles provide a comprehensive survey of synchronic vs. diachronic developments in the Germanic and Romance languages.New theoretical insights into the interaction of the properties of verbal mood and syntactic structure building lead to hypotheses about the mutual influence of these systems. The diachronic change in the syntax together with changes in the inflectional system show the interdependence between the syntactic and the inflectional component.The fact that the subjunctive can license verb second in dependent clauses reveals further dependencies between these subsystems of grammar. "Fronting finiteness" furthermore constitutes an instance of a main clause phenomenon. Whether "assertion" or "at-issueness" are encoded through this grammatical process will be a matter in the debates discussed in the book. Moreover, information structure appears to be directly related to the fronting of other constituents in front of the finite verb. Questions concerning the interrelations between these various subcomponents of the grammatical system are investigated.
