Historisk og sammenlignende lingvistik

Die Festschrift vereint in der Vielfalt ihrer Beiträge die verschiedenen Forschungsfelder und zahlreichen Interessen sowie Tätigkeiten von Laura Auteri anlässlich ihres 70. Geburtstags. Die Jubilarin vertritt in ihrem Schaffen nicht nur die Auslandsgermanistik, sondern sie hat auch entscheidend zur Entwicklung der Germanistik in Richtung auf eine transkulturelle Wissenschaft beigetragen. Ihren Initiativen zur Internationalisierung von Forschung und Lehre verdankt die Disziplin wesentliche Impulse. Die beiden Themenbereiche: Identität(en) im Schnittpunkt von Kulturen und Literatur als Begegnungsstätte von Kulturen vom Mittelalter bis zur Neuzeit zeugen von diesem Streben und dienten Expertinnen und Experten der internationalen Forschendengemeinschaft als Leitfaden in ihren wissenschaftlichen Abhandlungen zur Würdigung der großen Verdienste der Jubilarin um die Germanistik.

This edited book examines the multilingual culture of medieval England, exploring its impact on the development of English and its textual manifestations from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The book offers overviews of the state of the art of research and case studies on this subject in (sub)disciplines of linguistics including historical linguistics, onomastics, lexicology and lexicography, sociolinguistics, code-switching and language contact, and also includes contributions from literary and socio-cultural studies, material culture, and palaeography. The authors focus on the variety of languages in use in medieval Britain, including English, Old Norse, Norn, Dutch, Welsh, French, and Latin, making the argument that understanding the impact of medieval multilingualism on the development of English requires multidisiplinarity and the bringing together of different frameworks in linguistics and cultural studies toachieve more nuanced answers. This book will be of interest to academics and students of historical linguistics and medieval textual culture.

As a complement to Pharies's 2002 Diccionario etimológico de los sufijos españoles (Madrid: Gredos), this book completes the urgent task of providing historical and etymological information for the affixes of the Spanish language. Based on an extensive research bibliography, the volume comprises 84 entries providing detailed accounts of the origin and evolution of each Spanish prefix.

Die dynamische Erforschung des Althochdeutschen findet ihren Niederschlag in kontinuierlicher Weiterentwicklung der Althochdeutschen Grammatik. So wird parallel zur grundlegenden Neufassung von Band II: Syntax auch Band I in einer sorgfältig überarbeiteten, in zahlreichen Details erweiterten 17. Auflage vorgelegt. Nach der positiven Resonanz auf die vorherige Auflage konnte der eingeschlagene Weg weiterverfolgt werden. Die Einarbeitung der Glossenforschung ist fortgeführt und ausgebaut worden. Ihrem Aussagewert gemäß kommen nun die voralthochdeutschen Runenbelege stärker zur Geltung. Um der zweifachen Aufgabe als Referenzwerk und als Studienbuch gerecht zu werden, stehen sowohl die Darstellung der Faktenbasis als auch deren Präsentation im Fokus der Neuauflage. Zahlreiche Phänomene werden auf breiterer Datenbasis beschrieben, zum Teil auch sprachhistorisch neu bewertet. Als wesentliche Neuerung, die vor allem didaktischen Zwecken entgegenkommen dürfte, werden den althochdeutschen Paradigmen nun ihre altsächsischen und mittelhochdeutschen Entsprechungen zur Seite gestellt. Dafür haben die Tabellen, deren Zahl zugelegt hat, ein großzügigeres Layout erhalten. Die Maßnahmen zielen darauf ab, den Nutzen als Referenzgrammatik wie als Lehrbuch weiter zu steigern. Band I und Band II der Althochdeutschen Grammatik sind auch als Set erhältlich.

A entendre les linguistes, le français serait né en même temps que le pays dans lequel il est parlé, c'est-à-dire aux alentours de l' an mille. C'est de cette époque que datent les premiers textes en ancien français, langue complexe qui se singularise aussi bien du latin que du français moderne, que ce soit sur le plan lexical, ou sur le plan grammatical.Même le soi-disant "latin corrompu ou populaire" de la langue romane fantasmée n' explique pas l' ancien français, et pour cause, l' ancien français est issu en droite ligne du celtique ancien, héritier des langues gauloises. Voici son histoire et celui du celtique ancien du Haut Moyen Age.

Desde un punto de vista filológico, los trabajos sobre léxico habrían estado mayoritariamente enfocados al estudio de sustantivos y verbos. Este volumen pretende ahondar en el estudio del adjetivo a partir del análisis lexicográfico y documental de un conjunto de adjetivos cromáticos atestiguados en el siglo XVII y extraídos a partir de un corpus muy específico ¿el Corpus Léxico de Inventarios (CorLexIn)¿. En el plano lexicográfico, se persigue acotar su referencia cromática partiendo de la información que puede extraerse de diccionarios de la época, así como analizar su tratamiento en dicho contexto. Complementariamente, se propone un análisis de tipo documental a partir de los datos que proporcionan los corpus académicos, conformados por textos con un marcado registro culto, y frente a los que CorLexIn aporta una visión mucho más cercana a la lengua oral y al registro cotidiano, es decir, a la realidad lingüística del siglo XVII.

This book explores first-hand Dunhuang manuscripts from a period of over 700 years, from 220 to 960, and as such makes a major contribution to passing on and promoting ancient Chinese culture.
