Abstract

Mark Twains Huck Finn ist lange Zeit die Ausnahme; dann werden Texte, in denen Kinder-Erzähler als Vermittler ihrer eigenen Geschichte auftreten, zahlreicher. In der erzählenden Literatur des ausgehenden 20. und beginnenden 21. Jahrhunderts ergreift das Kind immer häufiger das Wort. Im Fokus dieser Untersuchung stehen Romane, in denen eine besonders komplexe strukturelle und hermeneutische Beziehung zwischen Autor, Kinder-Erzähler und Rezipient aufgebaut wird. Die Arbeit nähert sich solchen kindlichen Erzählern schrittweise an: Zunächst werden (literatur-)wissenschaftliche und literarische Diskursräume ausgelotet, in denen dem Kind eine entscheidende Rolle zukommt und die unser Denken vom ‚Kindsein‘ bis heute bestimmen. Zahlreichen Beispielen aus der internationalen Literatur folgt eine eingehende Betrachtung dreier Romane des italienischen, amerikanischen und deutsch-rumänischen Kulturraums. An Texten von Niccolò Ammaniti, Jonathan Safran Foer und Aglaja Veteranyi werden ästhetische und narrative Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede herausgearbeitet. Auf scheinbar naiv-direkte Weise erzählen die Figuren Befremdliches, Verstörendes und Unfassbares wie Krieg, Terror und Missbrauch. Die Arbeit untersucht die Inszenierungsformen einer solchen Erzählhaltung, um deren poetologische Bandbreite und gesellschaftliche Dringlichkeit aufzuzeigen.

Abstract

This monograph explores the different types of clausal relations in the world's languages. In the recent literature, there have been claims that the strict dichotomy of subordination and coordination cannot be maintained since some constructions seem to be in between these two categories. This study investigates these constructions in detail. The first part is concerned with clause chaining constructions, while the second is concerned with different cases of asymmetric coordination in English. In both parts, it is shown that the different tests to distinguish clausal relations indeed yield different results for the specific constructions. This poses a severe challenge for the established theories of clausal relations. However, as it is argued, recent analyses of coordination provide for the possibility to map a subordinate structure onto a coordinate one by means of regular transformational rules. It is shown that a single movement step derives all the peculiar properties of the phenomena in question. This book thus provides the first comprehensive solution for a long-standing problem in theoretical syntax.

Abstract

The standard scientific methodology in linguistics is empirical testing of falsifiable hypotheses. As such the process of hypothesis generation is central, and involves formulation of a research question about a domain of interest and statement of a hypothesis relative to it. In corpus linguistics the domain is text, and generation involves abstraction of data from text, data analysis, and formulation of a hypothesis based on inference from the results. Traditionally this process has been paper-based, but the advent of electronic text has increasingly rendered it obsolete both because the size of digital corpora is now at or beyond the limit of what can efficiently be used in the traditional way, and because the complexity of data abstracted from them can be impenetrable to understanding. Linguists are increasingly turning to mathematical and statistical computational methods for help, and cluster analysis is such a method. It is used across the sciences for hypothesis generation by identification of structure in data which are too large or complex, or both, to be interpretable by direct inspection. This book aims to show how cluster analysis can be used for hypothesis generation in corpus linguistics, thereby contributing to a quantitative empirical methodology for the discipline.

Abstract

What determines whether we say She gave him a book instead of She gave a book to him? The author views this 'dative alternation' as a sociolinguistic variable and explores its distribution across different British English dialects, registers and time frames. It thereby offers a novel, language-external explanation of the choice of one construction over the other and sheds new light on British dialect syntax.
