The comprehension, retention and production of idiomatic expressions is one of the most difficult areas of the lexicon for second language (L2) learners, even very advanced students, to master. This book investigates this under-researched and interesting aspect of language acquisition, shedding light on both conventional uses of idiomatic expressions as well as creative variant forms. The chapters in the book delve into different aspects of idiomatic mastery: students' comprehension of canonically used idioms in both their first and second language; the effects of multimedia and visualization techniques on learners' comprehension and retention of L2 idioms; students' misinterpretations of L2 idioms; L2 learners' comprehension of creative idiom variants and their use of idioms in free composition writing.

"Supported by data from linguistic fieldwork conducted in the Faroe Islands and Iceland, this book presents a pioneering approach to syntactic analysis, 'Optimal Linking Grammar' (OLG), which brings together two existing models, Linking Theory and Optimality Theory (OT). OT, which assumes spoken language to be based on the highest-ranking outcome from a number of competing underlying constraints, has been central mainly to phonology; however its application to syntax has also gained ground in recent years. OLG not only provides a robust account of case-marking phenomena in Faroese and Icelandic; it also explains a wide range of sentence types, including passives, ditransitives, object shift, and word order variation. The book demonstrates how OLG can resolve numerous issues in competing theories of formal syntax, and how it might be successfully applied to other languages in future research. It is essential reading for researchers and students in syntax, morphology, sociolinguistics, and European languages"-- Provided by publisher.

This volume portrays the practice of Old German textual criticism from its beginnings in the 19th century to the early 20th century, examining the most important editions and personalities from the discipline's history and presenting its methodological development alongside detailed analyses of methods and problem-solving strategies. The volume closes with an outlook on the various research controversies and the impact of editorial approaches

Anyone familiar with the Modern Icelandic language will know that the country?s policy is to avoid borrowing lexemes from other languages, and instead to draw on their own vocabulary. This often results in the formation of a word pair, consisting of a loanword and its respective native equivalent, as the process of borrowing systematically eludes the tight tangles of language policy. But how did this phenomenon develop in the Middle Ages, before a purist ideology was formed?00This volume offers a unique analysis of a previously unexplored area of Old Norse linguistics by investigating the way in which loanwords and native synonyms interacted in the Middle Ages. Through a linguistic-philological investigation of texts from all medieval Icelandic prose genres, the book maps out the strategies by which the variation and interplay between loanwords and native words were manifested in medieval Iceland and suggests that it is possible to identify the same dynamics in other languages with a comparable literary tradition. In doing so, new light is shed on language development and usage in the Middle Ages, and the gap between case-study and general linguistic theory is bridged over

Und sie lebten glücklich bis an ihr Lebensende. 0Sätze wie dieser sind fester Bestandteil unserer Alltagssprache. Ganz selbstverständlich verwenden wir Redewendungen, Reime und Sinnsprüche, die ihren Ursprung in den Märchen der Gebrüder Grimm haben. Sophie Reyer beschreibt ihre Wurzeln und stellt sie ihrer heutigen Verwendung gegenüber. Eine Prinzessin auf der Erbse ist heute nicht mehr fein und begehrenswert, sondern anstrengend und affektiert. Andere menschliche Sehnsüchte sind hingegen unverändert geblieben wie die nach dem ewig andauernden Glück.0In diesem Buch begegnen uns Zaubersprüche, redende Tiere, magische Fragen, Redewendungen und Namen, deren wunderbare Geschichten Sophie Reyer erzählt

Zwei Jahrzehnte nach seinem Tod ist das Werk des Soziologen Pierre Bourdieu aus vielen Geistes-, Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaften nicht mehr wegzudenken. Wie aber sieht es mit der Anwendung der Bourdieuschen Konzepte und Theorien in der Germanistik aus?. Der Band bilanziert den Ertrag der entsprechenden sprach- und literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung. Zugleich werden die Zukunftspotentiale einer an Bourdieu orientierten Germanistik abgesteckt. Dabei geht es auch um die Frage, inwiefern Bourdieus Arbeiten einen gemeinsamen produktiven Bezugsrahmen für einen stärkeren Austausch zwischen Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft bieten können

This book offers a survey of current work in Nordic and General Linguistics, with a special focus on language contact. The papers in this book were presented at the 11th International Conference of Nordic and General Linguistics (ICNGL) in Freiburg. The ICNGL conference series aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas on Scandinavian and other languages, between researchers from the Nordic countries and elsewhere. The present volume focuses on language contact, which has always been a topic of great interest in Nordic Linguistics. Additionally, the contributions in this book address issues of phonology, morpho-syntax, syntax, and grammaticalization. The book is meant to be a snapshot of Nordic Linguistics as it is practiced today, reflecting at the same time its established research traditions as well as its forages into new methodologies and theories.

To the medievalist, Tannhauser is the author of ironical and highly original lyrical verse; to the folklorist, the subject of one of Germany's oldest ballads; to the musicologist, the composer of the only extant music for a Tanzleich and the hero of several operas. J. W. Thomas examines the content and style of Tannhauser's verse, discusses his sources and his influence on other medieval poets, and gives a history of the ballad material in which he appears. Also included is a diplomatic edition of Tannhauser's poems, both verse translations of the poems and a version of the ballad, and an extensive bibliography.

In the first comprehensive English-language portrait of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm as political thinkers and actors, Jakob Norberg reveals how history's two most famous folklorists envisioned the role of literary and linguistic scholars in defining national identity. Convinced of the political relevance of their folk tale collections and grammatical studies, the Brothers Grimm argued that they could help disentangle language groups from one another, redraw the boundaries of states in Europe, and counsel kings and princes on the proper extent and character of their rule. They sought not only to recover and revive a neglected native culture for a contemporary audience, but also to facilitate a more harmonious and enduring relationship between the traditional political elite and an emerging national collective. Through close historical analysis, Norberg reconstructs how the Grimms wished to mediate between sovereigns and peoples, politics and culture.
