Quintilians Abriss der (téchne) grammaticé in seiner Institutio oratoria 1,4-8 um 95 n.Chr. ist die zeitlich früheste und zugleich inhaltlich und strukturell zuverlässigste Darstellung unter den erhaltenen Texten der römischen ars grammatica. Die neue Ausgabe versucht, dieses ebenso schwierige wie elegant geschriebene Dokument der Sprachwissenschaftsgeschichte durch einen revidierten lateinischen Text, eine eigene deutsche Übersetzung und einen ausführlichen Kommentar völlig neu zu erschließen. Die Ergebnisse der Kommentierung machen es darüber hinaus möglich, Quintilians Bericht einen bisher so nicht gesehenen Stellenwert in der Entwicklungsgeschichte der römischen Grammatik zuzuweisen: Er repräsentiert kein noch unfertiges Frühstadium der römischen Grammatik, die sich erst in der Spätantike zu den großen systematischen Entwürfen (Charisius, Diomedes, Donat, Priscian) ausdifferenziert und hochentwickelt ist. Vielmehr spiegelt sein Bericht eine in den Grundzügen und in vielen Details bereits fertige Disziplin, die sich mit großen Autorennamen der frühen Kaiserzeit wie Verrius Flaccus, Remmius Palaemon und Plinius d.Ä. verbinden lässt.

Rhetoric and stylistics deal with successful human communication and the arrangement of language in texts. As the most influential of all language-related disciplines, rhetoric has an ancient tradition and is presently experiencing a remarkable revival. Stylistics analyzes the structures of texts with regard to their semantic potential and their function in the life of the individual and in society. The handbook offers surveys of theoretical approaches, forms of linguistic practice and practical contexts from antiquity to the present.

"This book highlights the legacy of the Lvov-Warsaw School in broadly understood contemporary philosophy of language. Fundamental methodological issues, important topics in syntax, semantics and pragmatics (such as modern Categorial Grammar, theories of truth, game-theoretical semantics, and argumentation theory) are tracked down to their origins in the Lvov-Warsaw School, and - the other way round - modern renderings of the ideas expressed by Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz, Tadeusz Kotarbiński, Stanisław Leśniewski, Jan Łukasiewicz, Alfred Tarski, Kazimierz Twardowski, and other members of the School are presented. Among contributors there are philosophers, logicians, formal linguists and other specialists from France, Italy, Poland, and Spain"--

The theory of signifying (significs), formulated and introduced by Victoria Welby for the first time in 1890s, is at the basis of much of twentieth-century linguistics, as well as in other language and communication sciences such as sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, translation theory and semiotics. Indirectly, the origins of approaches, methods and categories elaborated by analytical philosophy, Wittgenstein himself, Anglo-American speech act theory, and pragmatics are largely found with Victoria Lady Welby. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say, in addition, that Welby is the "founding mother" of semiotics. Some of Peirce's most innovative writings - for example, those on existential graphs - are effectively letters to Lady Welby. She was an esteemed correspondent of scholars such as Bertrand Russell, Charles K. Ogden, Herbert G. Wells, Ferdinand S. C. Schiller, Michel Bréal, André Lalande, the brothers Henry and William James, and Peirce, as well as Frederik van Eeden, Mary Everst Boole, Ferdinand Tönnies, and Giovanni Vailati. Her writings directly inspired the Signific Movement in the Netherlands, important for psycholinguistics, linguistics and semantics and inaugurated by van Eeden and developed by such authors as Gerrit Mannoury. This volume, containing introductions and commentaries, presents a selection from Welby's published and unpublished writings delineating the whole course of her research through to developments with the Significs Movement in the Netherlands and still other ramifications, contemporary and subsequent to her. A selection of essays by first-generation significians contributing to the Signific Movement in the Netherlands completes the collection, testifying to the progress of significs after Welby and even independently from her. This volume contributes to the reconstruction on both the historical and theoretical levels of an important period in the history of ideas. The aim of the volume is to convey a sense of the theoretical topicality of significs and its developments, especially in semiotics, and in particular its thematization of the question of values and the connection with signs, meaning, and understanding, therefore with human verbal and nonverbal behavior, language and communication.
