Harald Baayen, Robert Schreuder | De Gruyter Mouton | english | Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs | 2003 | 532 | This volume brings together a series of studies of morphological processing in Germanic (English, German, Dutch), Romance (French, Italian), and Slavic (Polish, Serbian) languages. The question of how morphologically complex words are organized and processed in the mental lexicon is addressed from different theoretical perspectives (single and dual route models), for different modalities (auditory and visual comprehension, writing), and for language development. Experimental work is reported, as well as computational and statistical modeling. Thus, this volume provides a useful overview of the range of issues currently attracting reseach at the intersection of morphology and psycholinguistics. | 1 | null | 0 |

At the same time it makes original contributions both to current understanding of the Japanese sound system and to contemporary phonological theory more generally. <br><br>After a consideration of the history of linguistic variation in Japanese, the book focuses on modern standard Japanese and its major dialectical variations. Professor Labrune presents a critical overview of current Japanese phonology and new analyses of the central features of Japanese phonology, including segment inventory, the phonology of voicing, the nature of moraic segments, the mora, the syllable, the foot and the upper prosodic units, and accent. Drawing on her own extensive research and on published work in and outside Japan Professor Labrune presents a synthesis of work within and outside Japan. In doing so she shows the great value as well as some of the limitations of approaches derived from Japanese traditional linguistics and philology, work which has largely been ignored outside the country. Her balanced, clear presentation will appeal to phonologists and their advanced students throughout the world. | 1 | null | 0 |

Ritter | De Gruyter | english | Studies in Generative Grammar | 1999 | 808 | This collection offers a fairly exhaustive presentation of current day approaches to the phonotactics or syllabic organization of words as well as a rich display of the syllabic organization of some 20 languages. with respect to the views we find adherents of onset-rhyme models, using the approach of government phonology or "X-bar" models, and mora models. All contributors adopt a constraint-based approach, either in the context of models that appeal to language-specific constraints ranking (such as in Optimality Theory) or models that use inviolable constraints, i.e. Firthian-declarative phonology and government-based analyses. Issues of syllabification, language games and phonetic implementation are also addressed. The facts of 20 languages - Danish, Dutch, German, Norwegian, Irish, Gaelic, Vedic, Latin, Romansch, Spanish, Polish, Hungarian, Finnish, Luganda, Kihehe, Dschang, Koromfe, Hindi, Chinese,Arabic - are accessibly described and analyzed in terms of these approaches. | 1 | null | 0 |

In a quaint Austrian ski resort, things are not quite what they seem. Hermann, the manager of a paper mill, has decided that sexual gratification begins at home. Which means Gerti – his wife and property. Gerti is not asked how she feels about the use Hermann puts her to. She is a receptacle into which Hermann pours his juices, nastily, briefly, brutally. The long-suffering and battered Gerti thinks she has found her saviour and love in Michael, a student who rescues her after a day of vigorous use by her husband. But Michael is on his way up the Austrian political ladder, and he is, after all, a man. In Elfriede Jelinek's mitteleuropa, love is as distant from sex as the Alps are from the sea, and the everyday mechanics of husband, wife, and child, become a loveless horror. Both a condemnation of the myth of romantic love and an angry defence of women's sexuality, Lust is pornography for pessimists. A bestseller throughout Europe, Lust conforms Elfriede Jelinek as the most challenging writer – female or male – in Europe today. It is a dark, dazzling performance. | 0 | pilimi-zlib2-16760000-16859999.torrent | 0 |

In addition to making new theoretical proposals about morphology and phonology in terms of a cyclic theory, Embick addresses a schism in the field between phonological theories such as Optimality Theory and other (mostly syntactic) theories such as those associated with the Minimalist program. He presents sustained empirical arguments that the Localist view of grammar associated with the Minimalist program (and Distributed Morphology in particular) is correct, and that the Globalism espoused by many forms of Optimality Theory is incorrect. In the "derivational versus nonderivational" debate in linguistic theory, Embick's arguments come down squarely on the derivational side.</p><p> Determining how to make empirical comparisons between such large positions, and the different frameworks that embody them, is at the heart of the book. Embick argues that patterns of allomorphy implicate general questions about locality and specific questions about the manner in which (morpho)syntax relates to (morpho)phonology. Allomorphy thus provides a crucial test case for comparing Localist and Globalist approaches to grammar. | 1 | null | 0 |

How do we understand ambiguous language? How carefully do we really listen to speakers? How is sign language similar to and different from spoken language? How does having expertise in multiple languages work? Answering these questions and more, Psycholinguistics 101 provides an introduction to how language is stored and processed by mind and brain. The study of psycholinguistics incorporates interdisciplinary research from psychology, linguistics, computer science, neuroscience, and cognitive science. By understanding the processes that underlie language ability, we can help develop more effective ways to teach languages and understand differences in reading abilities.

The inspirations for the volume is the pioneering work on causative constructions by the Leningrad Typology Group; several of the contributors have close connections to the charter members of that group, others have appreciated this work from a distance. The volume as a whole is based on the concept of causative constructions as embracing both morphology and syntax, with an important semantic component as well. In addition to general studies concerning the morpho syntactic and semantic typology and the history of causative constructions and relations to other phenomena, the following individual languages are treated in detail: Russian, English, Dutch, Svan, Even, Korean, Yukaghir, Alutor, Aleut, Haruai, Dogon, Athabaskan languages. The volume will be of interest to typologists, to other linguists interested in causative constructions and transitivity relations, and to all who are interested in the linguistic expression of causal relations. | 1 | null | 0 |

He proposes radical departures from recent tradition. In Part I he analyzes stress in the underived English lexicon, arguing that the basic accentual groups or "feet" are not monosyllabic or bisyllabic, as often assumed, but rather bisyllabic or trisyllabic. This analysis brings significant simplifications to other recent theorizing, including the elimination of standard extrametrically and all rules destressing. In Part II Professor Burzio deals with morphologically complex words, and argues that various phenomena of stress presevation, including the apparent stress "neutrality" of a class of affixes, are all predictable reflexes of a single principle of Metrical Consistency. In addition to a superior account of stress, the proposed metrical theory yields a unitary account of a wide spectrum of vowel-length alternations, in an overall conception of phonology which is modular, like that of comtemporary syntax. The book makes a major theoretical contribution to the analysis of English word stress and to phonological theory. | 1 | null | 0 |

The trio drives to St. Louis, still shadowed by Judith; partly to escape her (and partly to face her), the narrator strikes out west on his own, to Tucson, where he is robbed by Judith's agents, then up to the Oregon coast, where a roadside showdown takes place and a gunshot echoes over the Pacific. </p><p>"I seem to have been born for horror and fear," Handke's narrator confesses.<br><br>As the narrator and Judith maneuver toward their coastal rendezvous, his life itself may depend on whether he has achieved enough--in the flesh and in the mind--to confront the pistol trembling in her hand. </p> | 0 | pilimi-zlib2-22200000-22299999.torrent | 0 |

Schuchman | english | 1st | 2002 | 232 | Inspired by the conference “Deaf People in Hitler’s Europe, 1933–1945,” hosted jointly by Gallaudet University and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 1998, this extraordinary collection, organized into three parts, integrates key presentations and important postconference research.Henry Friedlander begins “Part I: Racial Hygiene” by analyzing the assault on deaf people and people with disabilities as an integral element in the Nazi attempt to implement their theories of racial hygiene. Robert Proctor documents the role of medical professionals in deciding who should be sterilized or forbidden to marry, and whom the Nazi authorities would murder. In an essay written especially for this volume, Patricia Heberer details how Nazi manipulation of eugenics theory and practice facilitated the justification for the murder of those considered socially undesirable.“Part II: The German Experience” commences with Jochen Muhs’s interviews of deaf Berliners who lived under Nazi rule, both those who suffered abuse and those who, as members of the Nazi Party, persecuted others, especially deaf Jews. John S. Schuchman describes the remarkable 1932 film Misjudged People, which so successfully portrayed the German deaf community as a vibrant contributor to society that the Nazis banned its showing when they came to power. Horst Biesold’s contribution confirms the complicity of teachers who denounced their own students, labeling them hereditarily deaf and thus exposing them to compulsory sterilization. The section also includes the reprint of a chilling 1934 article entitled “The Place of the School for the Deaf in the New Reich,” in which author Kurt Lietz rued the expense of educating deaf students, who could not become soldiers or bear “healthy children.”In “Part III: The Jewish Deaf Experience,” John S. Schuchman discusses the plight of deaf Jews in Hungary. His historical analysis is complemented by a chapter containing excerpts from the testimony of six deaf Jewish survivors who describe their personal ordeals. Peter Black’s reflections on the need for more research conclude this vital study of a little-known chapter of the Holocaust. | 1 | null | 0 |

The authors are concerned with both theoretical and practical aspects of language documentation as they address the ways in which the African context both differs from and resembles contexts of endangerment elsewhere in the world.

Fawcett | John Benjamins Publishing Company | english | Current Issues in Linguistic Theory 206 | 1st | 2000 | 388 | This book describes and evaluates alternative approaches within Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) to representing the structure of language at the level of form. It assumes no prior knowledge of SFL, and can therefore be read as an introduction to current issues within the theory. It will interest any linguist who takes a functional approach to understanding language.<br />Part 1 summarizes the major developments in the forty years of SFL’s history, including alternative approaches within Halliday’s own writings and the emergence of the “Cardiff Grammar” as an alternative to the “Sydney Grammar”. It questions the theoretical status of the ‘multiple structure’ representations in Halliday’s influential <i>Introduction to Functional Grammar</i> (1994), demonstrating that Halliday’s model additionally needs an integrating syntax such as that described in Part 2.<br />Part 2 specifies and discusses the set of ‘categories’ and ‘relationships’ that are needed in a theory of syntax for a modern, computer-implementable systemic functional grammar. The theoretical concepts are exemplified at every point, usually from English but occasionally from other languages.<br />The book is both a critique of Halliday’s current theory of syntax and the presentation of an alternative version of SFL that is equally systemic and equally functional. | 1 | null | 0 |

However, comparatively little research has focused on communication disorders in signed language users. For some deaf children, atypicality is viewed as a phase that they will outgrow, and this results in late identification of linguistic or cognitive deficits that might have been addressed earlier. This volume takes a step towards describing different types of atypicality in language communicated in the signed modality such as linguistic impairment caused by deficits in visual processing, difficulties with motor movements, and neurological decline. Chapters within the book also consider communication differences in hearing children acquiring signed and spoken languages. | 1 | null | 0 |

Thereafter, the search of many of his characters for the Law, for a home, for artistic fulfillment can be understood as a figure for Kafka's own search to reproduce the ecstasy of a single night. In Lambent Traces: Franz Kafka, the preeminent American critic and translator of Franz Kafka traces the implications of Kafka's literary breakthrough. Kafka's first concern was not his responsibility to his culture but to his fate as literature, which he pursued by exploring "the limits of the human." At the same time, he kept his transcendental longings sober by noting--with incomparable irony--their virtual impossibility. At times Kafka's passion for personal transcendence as a writer entered into a torturous and witty conflict with his desire for another sort of transcendence, one driven by a modern Gnosticism. This struggle prompted him continually to scrutinize different kinds of mediation, such as confessional writing, the dream, the media, the idea of marriage, skepticism, asceticism, and the imitation of death. Lambent Traces: Franz Kafka concludes with a reconstruction and critique of the approaches to Kafka by such major critics as Adorno, Gilman, and Deleuze and Guattari.. | 1 | null | 0 |

Roth geht es nicht um die exakte und überpersönliche Dokumentation und Analyse der Geschichte, sondern um die Vermittlung von Privatexistenz und historischem Prozeß, um »den Willen jener unheimlichen Macht, die am Schicksal eines Geschlechts das einer historischen Gewalt deutet« (Vorbemerkung zum Roman).In der (historischen) Schlacht von Solferino (1859) rettet der (fiktive) Leutnant Trotta den Kaiser, indem er ihn rechtzeitig zu Boden wirft, als dieser sein Fernglas an die Augen führt und sich dadurch dem Feind als Ziel, »würdig, getroffen zu werden«, präsentiert; er selbst wird durch die dem Kaiser zugedachte Kugel verwundet. Trotta wird zum Hauptmann befördert, mit dem Maria-Theresien-Orden ausgezeichnet und geadelt. Die plötzliche Verbindung mit welthistorischen Ereignissen und seine unerwartete Karriere entfremden ihn dem Vater, dem Repräsentanten der bäuerlichen slovenischen Vorfahren der Familie Trotta. »Ein neues Geschlecht brach mit ihm an.« – Nach Jahren entdeckt Hauptmann Trotta im Lesebuch seines Sohnes zufällig eine Geschichte, die seine Tat entstellt und verkitscht wiedergibt; während sie in Wirklichkeit eher Reflex als »Heldentat« war, wird sie im Lesebuch zur Propagierung eines zweifelhaften vaterländischen Heldentums mißbraucht. Bei den zuständigen Behörden stößt Trotta mit seiner Beschwerde auf Unverständnis – nur der Kaiser, der ihm eine Audienz gewährt, begreift seine Empörung, fügt sich aber resigniert dem Zwang der politischen Mythenbildung. Trotta bittet um seine Entlassung aus der Armee und übersiedelt auf das Gut seines Schwiegervaters, um zur Lebensform seiner bäuerlichen Vorfahren zurückzufinden. Der Erzähler enthüllt die Unangemessenheit und gewollte Künstlichkeit dieses Reprivatisierungsversuchs, indem er die neue Tätigkeit des »Helden von Solferino« mit denselben Worten beschreibt, die zuvor Trottas Vater galten.Sein Sohn, zum Beamten, nicht zum Soldaten bestimmt, wird Bezirkshauptmann in der Provinz. Er ist eine der prägnantesten Gestalten des Romans – ein typischer Vertreter des in der österreichischen Literatur von Grillparzer bis Doderer wiederholt porträtierten pflichtbewußten Beamten; er verkennt die Hinfälligkeit der Monarchie: Als er einmal gezwungen ist, in seinen Akten den Ausdruck »revolutionärer Agitator« (als Bezeichnung eines aktiven Sozialdemokraten) durch »verdächtiges Individuum« zu ersetzen, verharmlost er progressive politische Strömungen zu privaten Unruheherden. – Der Enkel Carl Joseph, Offizier wie der »Held von Solferino«, spürt dagegen bald das bevorstehende Ende des alten Staatengebildes. Er steht freilich unter dem Bann des Großvaters, dem er es, seiner Überzeugung nach, nie wird gleichtun können: Hatte jener den Kaiser selbst gerettet, so beschränkt sich der Enkel darauf, das Bild des Kaisers aus einem Bordell zu »retten«. Schon früh verbinden sich in ihm Todesahnung und Schuldgefühle. Als die Frau des Wachtmeisters Slama, die ihn als fünfzehnjährigen Kadettenschüler verführte, an einer Geburt stirbt, schreibt er sich nur allzu bereitwillig die Schuld an ihrem Tod zu. Diese Schuldgefühle verstärken sich, als sein einziger Freund, der jüdische Regimentsarzt Dr. Demant, bei einem Duell ums Leben kommt – ein Vorfall, der die Sinnlosigkeit des erstarrten Ehrenkodex demonstriert: Trotta hatte die leichtlebige Frau seines Freundes lediglich nach dem Theater nach Hause begleitet, worauf Demant von einem Regimentskameraden angepöbelt worden war und Genugtuung verlangen »mußte«. Diese Toten, besonders aber das Bild des toten »Helden von Solferino«, zehren an der Lebenskraft des Leutnants: »Ich bin nicht stark genug für dieses Bild. Die Toten! Ich kann die Toten nicht vergessen! Vater, ich kann gar nichts vergessen! Vater!« In der abgelegenen Garnisonsstadt nahe der russischen Grenze, wo diese Worte fallen, ahnt schließlich auch der Bezirkshauptmann, daß die k. u. k. Monarchie, deren Einheit sich in der Figur des Kaisers versinnbildlicht, nicht mehr lange bestehen wird. Es ist der polnische Graf Chojnicki – die einzige Gestalt in Roths Roman, die die politischen Veränderungen nicht nur mehr oder weniger dumpf spürt, sondern sie auch zu artikulieren vermag –, der ihm die Augen öffnet: »Die Zeit will uns nicht mehr! Diese Zeit will sich erst selbständige Nationalstaaten schaffen!«Unfähig, sich von seinen Schuldgefühlen und Todesahnungen zu befreien, wird Carl Joseph vom Alkohol abhängig und verstrickt sich in Schulden. Seine Schwermut wird nur selten von jäh aufkommender Euphorie unterbrochen, wie etwa während einer glanzvollen Fronleichnamsprozession in Wien – einer barocken Apotheose der alten Donaumonarchie –, der er mit einer Geliebten auf der Tribüne beiwohnt. Die Nachricht von der Ermordung des Thronfolgerpaares trifft – ein makabrer Zufall – bei Trottas Regiment ein, als ein orgiastisches Sommerfest im Gange ist. Trotta reicht seinen Abschied ein und versucht, wie sein Großvater, der »Held von Solferino«, innere Ruhe als Bauer zu finden. Bei Kriegsausbruch zur Armee zurückgekehrt, kommt er im Geschoßhagel ums Leben, als er für die Soldaten seines Zuges Wasser holen will. – Der »Epilog« schildert die beiden letzten Lebensjahre des Bezirkshauptmanns, der am Tage der Beisetzung des Kaisers (1916) stirbt. Diese Gleichzeitigkeit weist ein letztes Mal darauf hin, daß Roth mit dem Schicksal der Familie Trotta zugleich auch das Schicksal des Habsburgerreiches darstellen will: ». . . sie konnten beide« – der Kaiser und der Bezirkshauptmann – »Österreich nicht überleben.«Die melancholische, virtuos auf der Grenze zwischen tragischer Ironie und Sentimentalität balancierte Stimmung des Romans beruht auf der Diskretion und Anpassungsfähigkeit des Autors, der sich in die jeweilige Bewußtseinslage seiner Figuren einzufühlen versteht, aber auf die aufdringliche Position des allwissenden Erzählers verzichtet. Dieser elegischen Grundhaltung, die selbst an den unübersehbaren Schwächen der Romangestalten wie der untergehenden Monarchie noch liebenswerte Züge entdeckt, entspricht die rückwärtsgewandte Utopie, die verklärende Sehnsucht nach der verlorenen Ursprünglichkeit, die die kritische Analyse des historischen Prozesses verweigert. Roths Roman, dem die intendierte Vermittlung von Individuum und Geschichte – im Gegensatz zu Musils bewußt kontrastierender Technik der »Parallelaktion« (vgl. Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften, 1930–1952) – nicht bruchlos gelingt, ist ein »Requiem auf Österreich« (F. Heer). Sein Leitmotiv ist der Radetzkymarsch, der jeden Sonntag vor dem Haus des Bezirkshauptmanns gespielt wird: Er versinnbildlicht die Idee der Einheit des Vielvölkerstaats, die schließlich nur noch so wenig in der Wirklichkeit begründet ist, daß die ironische Formulierung »Einmal in der Woche war Österreich« nur scheinbar paradox ist.H.Sch.Prof. Dr. Hartmut Scheible</br></br> | 0 | pilimi-zlib2-17060000-17149999.torrent | 0 |

Paul Kroeger's contribution to this debate asserts that grammatical relations such as subject and object are syntactic notions, and must be identified on the basis of syntactic properties, rather than by semantic roles or discourse functions. A large number of syntactic processes in Tagalog uniquely select the argument which bears the nominative case. On the other hand, the data which have been used in the debate to assert the ambiguity of subjecthood are best analysed in terms of semantic rather than syntactic constraints. Together these facts support an analysis that takes the nominative argument as the subject. Kroeger examines the history of the subjecthood debate and uses data from Tagalog to test the theories that have been put forth. His conclusions entail consequences for certain linguistic concepts and theories, and lead Kroeger to assert that grammatical relations are not defined in terms of surface phrase structure configurations, contrary to the assumptions of many approaches to syntax including the Government-Binding theory.<p><b>Paul Kroeger</b> is presently doing fieldwork in Austronesian languages and teaching linguistics to fieldworkers from around the world.</p> | 1 | null | 0 |

The present volume provides systematic orientation in the vast field of studying discourse from a pragmatic perspective. It first gives an overview of a range of approaches developed for the analysis of discourse, including, among others, conversation analysis, genre analysis, functional discourse grammar and corpus-driven approaches. The focus is furthermore on functional units in discourse, such as discourse markers, speech act sequences, interactional moves and phases, and also silence. Finally, the volume examines different types of discourse (e.g. narratives, service encounters, press releases) in various discourse domains (e.g. medical contexts, the media, education).

Assuming that metaphor cannot be explained by or within semantics, they claim that metaphor has little, if anything, to teach us about semantic theory. In this book Josef Stern challenges these assumptions. He is concerned primarily with the question: Given the received conception of the form and goals of semantic theory, does metaphorical interpretation, in whole or part, fall within its scope? Specifically, he asks, what (if anything) does a speaker-hearer know as part of her semantic competence when she knows the interpretation of a metaphor? According to Stern, the answer to these questions lies in the systematic context-dependence of metaphorical interpretation. Drawing on a deep analogy between demonstratives, indexicals, and metaphors, Stern develops a formal theory of metaphorical meaning that underlies a speaker's ability to interpret a metaphor. With his semantics, he also addresses a variety of philosophical and linguistic issues raised by metaphor. These include the interpretive structure of complex extended metaphors, the cognitive significance of metaphors and their literal paraphrasability, the pictorial character of metaphors, the role of similarity and exemplification in metaphorical interpretation, metaphor-networks, dead metaphors, the relation of metaphors to other figures, and the dependence of metaphors on literal meanings. Unlike most metaphor theorists, however, who take these problems to be sui generis to metaphor, Stern subsumes them under the same rubric as other semantic facts that hold for nonmetaphorical language. | 1 | null | 0 |

Baker | Oxford University Press, USA | english | Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax | 1996 | 576 | This book investigates in detail the grammar of polysynthetic languages--those with very complex verbal morphology. Baker argues that polysynthesis is more than an accidental collection of morphological processes; rather, it is a systematic way of representing predicate-argument relationships that is parallel to but distinct from the system used in languages like English. Having repercussions for many areas of syntax and related aspects of morphology and semantics, this argument results in a comprehensive picture of the grammar of polysynthetic languages. Baker draws on examples from Mohawk and certain languages of the American Southwest, Mesoamerica, Australia, and Siberia. | 1 | null | 0 |

Despite government efforts at Patwa revitalization and cultural heritage tourism, rural caregivers and teachers prohibit children from speaking Patwa in their presence. Drawing on detailed ethnographic fieldwork and analysis of video-recorded social interaction in naturalistic home, school, village and urban settings, the study explores this paradox and examines the role of children and their social worlds. It offers much-needed insights into the study of language socialization, language shift and Caribbean children's agency and social lives, contributing to the burgeoning interdisciplinary study of children's cultures. Further, it demonstrates the critical role played by children in the transmission and transformation of linguistic practices, which ultimately may determine the fate of a language. <p>Amy L. Paugh is Associate Professor of Anthropology at James Madison University. Her research investigates language socialization, children's cultures and language ideologies in the Caribbean and United States. | 1 | null | 0 |

From our metaphors for the Internet (“Virtual Rialto”) to the perils of electronic grammar checkers (“The Software We Deserve”), from traditional grammatical bugaboos (“Sex and the Singular Verb”) to the ways we talk about illicit love (“Affairs of State”), Geoffrey Nunberg shows just how much the language we use from day to day reveals about who we are and who we want to be. | 1 | null | 0 |

Perkins | John Benjamins Publishing Company | english | Typological Studies in Language 24 | 1st | 1992 | 255 | Many linguists have believed that there is no connection between culture and language structures. This study reviews some of the literature supporting vocabulary connections, hypotheses for other connections, and critical views of this type of hypothesis. Precisely such a connection is developed employing a functional view of language and grammaticization principles. Using a world-wide probability sample of forty-nine languages, an association between culture and the grammatical coding of deictics is tested and statistically found to be corroborated to a very significant extent. Suggestions are included on how some of the concepts used and developed in this study might be extended. | 1 | null | 0 |

Abandoning his job and his life and travelling with a dusty old book as his talisman, he heads for Lisbon in search of clues to the life of the book's Portuguese author, Amadeu de Prado. As he gets swept up in his quest, he finds that the journey is also one of self-discovery, as he reencounters all the decisions he has made - and not made - in his life, and faces the roads not travelled.</p> | 0 | pilimi-zlib2-18810000-19019999.torrent | 0 |

The author makes two main claims: The head selecting the ellipsis site is checked against the head licensing ellipsis in order for ellipsis to occur, and ellipsis – i.e., sending part of the structure to PF for non-pronunciation – occurs as soon as this checking relation is established. At that point, the ellipsis site becomes inaccessible for further syntactic operations. Consequently, this theory explains the limited extraction data displayed by ‘Dutch modals complement ellipsis’ as well as British English do : These ellipses allow subject extraction out of the ellipsis site, but not object extraction. The analysis also extends to phenomena that do not display such a restricted extraction, such as sluicing, VP ellipsis, and pseudogapping. Hence, this work is a step towards a unified analysis of ellipsis. | 1 | null | 0 |

Kouwenberg | Brill | other | Studia Semitica Neerlandica | 1997 | 508 | This book offers an account of the role of gemination as a grammatical and lexical feature of Akkadian and a comprehensive treatment of the nominal and verbal categories that are characterized by it. It argues that gemination is basically an iconic phenomenon: its presence correlates with an extension in the meaning of the word vis-à-vis that of the corresponding word without gemination. This semantic extension is often realized as plurality; in other cases gemination has been subject to a process of grammaticalization, through which it has acquired a more abstract function, mostly that of underlining a high degree of salience or transitivity. Particular attention is paid to the D-stem, which is discussed exhaustively for the first time here. It is the most important and the most controversial of the verbal stems not only in Akkadian, but also in Semitic as a whole.
It is shown that the use of the D-stems of transitive verbs is mainly determined by various kinds of verbal plurality. With regard to the "factitive" D-sems of intransitive verbs a new and more nuanced definition is given of the concepts of factitivity as opposed to causativity; this allows a more satisfactory account of the relationship between the D-stem and the causative S-stem. The book includes detailed discussions of many individual verbs and passages from Akkadian texts. Lists of words with gemination and extensive indexes provide valuable

Broadly speaking, the objectives that this discourse aims to satisfy are similar all over the world, to legitimate or contest legislation, to represent diverse interests, to scrutinise, the activity of government, to influence opinion and to recruit and promote political actors. But the discourse of different national parliaments is subject to variation, at all linguistic levels, on the basis of history, cultural specificity, and political culture in particular. Through the use of various analytical tools of functional linguistics, this volume seeks to provide explanatory analyses of parliamentary discourse in different countries - Britain, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Sweden and the United States - and to explore its peculiarities. Each chapter outlines a particular methodological framework and its application to instances of parliamentary discourse on important issues such as war, European integration, impeachment and immigration. | 1 | null | 0 |

In this monograph Giannakidou presents a novel theory of polarity which avoids the empirical and conceptual problems of previous approaches by introducing a notion wider than negation and downward entailment: (non)veridicality. The leading idea is that the various polarity phenomena observed in language are manifestations of the dependency of certain expessions, i.e. polarity items, to the (non)veridicality of the context of appearence. Dependencies to negation or downward entailment emerge as subcases of nonveridicality.The (non)veridical dependency may be positive (licensing), or negative (anti-licensing), and arises from the sensitivity semantics of polarity items. The book is also concerned with the syntactic mapping of the sensitivity dependency. It is argued that licensing does not necessarily correspond to a requirement that the licensee be in the scope of the licenser. In some cases, for instance for the interpretation of negative concord, the reverse is required: that the licensee takes the licenser in its scope. The theory is applied to an extended set of old and new data concerning affective, free-choice dependencies, and mood choice in relative clauses. The primary focus is on Greek, but data from Dutch, English, and to a lesser extend Romance and Slavic, are also considered. | 1 | null | 0 |
