The paper deals with Russian folk tales and legends describing death, dying, actions and roles of their protagonists with regard not only to their present state and condition but also to their future ones. The image of Death as a significant figure has been characterized from the point of view of its various meanings. The world of objects is described as a special one with regard to the reality, influencing people and being influenced by them. The author suggests a number of attitudes towards the potential, virtual typologies connected with the meanings of the paradigmatic units. The units are also discussed in terms of their internal structure and position in general semantics.

Commitment is connected to central linguistic features, such as modality and evidentiality. It has thus been investigated in many branches of the field. Building upon this heterogeneous literature, this book offers a cognitive pragmatic account of the processes involved in utterance interpretation, crucially when the hearer assesses the level of commitment linked to it. This research illustrates that the relevance-theoretic notion of strength can be used to capture the cognitive effects of commitment markers (as I think that X, I am sure that X, etc.). The author's model is based on a novel typology as well as predictions which were experimentally tested. The results show that commitment to an utterance is indeed cognitively determined by the strength of the hearer's corresponding assumptions.

Der Eröffnungsband der Reihe Handbücher Sprachwissen (HSW) zeigt unter dem Titel Sprache und Wissen die Relevanz der Sprache als Zeichensystem für die Konstitution von Wissen und ihre Anwendung in vielfältigen gesellschaftlichen Wissensdomänen und Handlungsfeldern. Analog zur Gesamtkonzeption der Reihe umfasst das Handbuch einen sprachsystematischen Teil, in dem Einzelphänomene in den Blick genommen werden: Laut, Gebärde, Buchstabe; Wort und Wortschatz; Satz, Äußerung, Schema; Text und Gespräch; Diskurs. Auch historische und multimodale Zusammenhänge werden berücksichtigt, zugleich das sprachkritische Urteil der Öffentlichkeit. Daneben zielt eine anwendungsbezogene Zugangsweise auf Sprache im konkreten Gebrauch in zentralen gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhängen: Medizin; Recht; Wirtschaft; Organisationen; Naturwissenschaft, Technik und Mathematik; Kunst; Literatur; Religionen; Politik und Gesellschaft; urbaner Raum sowie Bildung. Dabei ist der Zugriff am sprachlichen Phänomen, nicht an disziplinären Zugängen orientiert. Nicht zuletzt dadurch bietet das Handbuch Studierenden, Dozenten und Forschern der Sprachwissenschaften, aber auch sprachlich Interessierten anderer Disziplinen grundlegendes Orientierungswissen.
