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

"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.

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

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. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

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

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

This volume offers a range of synchronic and diachronic case studies in comparative Germanic and Romance morphosyntax. These two language families, spoken by over a billion people today, have played a central role in linguistic research, but many significant questions remain about the relationship between them. Following an introduction that sets out the methodological, empirical, and theoretical background to the book, the volume is divided into three parts that deal with the morphosyntax of subjects and the inflectional layer; inversion, discourse pragmatics, and the left periphery; and continuity and variation beyond the clause. The contributors adopt a diverse range of approaches, making use of the latest digitized corpora and presenting a mixture of well-known and under-studied data from standard and non-standard Germanic and Romance languages. Many of the chapters challenge received wisdom about the relationship between these two important language families. The volume will be an indispensable resource for researchers and students in the fields of Germanic and Romance linguistics, historical and comparative linguistics, and morphosyntax.

The scattered research history of the Old Frisian runic inscriptions dating to the early Medieval period (ca. AD 400-1000) calls for a comprehensive and systematic reprocessing of these objects within their socio-cultural context and against the backdrop of the Old English Runic tradition. This book presents an annotated edition of 24 inscriptions found in the modern-day Netherlands, England and Germany. It provides the reader with an introduction to runological methodology, a linguistic commentary on the features attested in the inscriptions, and a detailed catalogue which outlines the find history of each object and summarizes previous and new interpretations supplemented by pictures and drawings. This book additionally explores the question of Frisian identity and an independent Frisian runic writing tradition and its relation to the contemporary Anglo-Saxon runic culture. In its entirety, this work provides a rich basis for future research in the field of runic writing around the North Sea and may therefore be of interest to scholars of historical linguistics and early Medieval history and archaeology.

Large computational lexicons are central NLP resources. Swedish FrameNet++ aims to be a versatile full-scale lexical resource for NLP containing many kinds of linguistic information. Although focused on Swedish, this ongoing effort, which includes building a new Swedish framenet and recycling existing lexicons, has offered valuable insights into general aspects of lexical-resource building for NLP, which are discussed in this book: computational and linguistic problems of lexical semantics and lexical typology, the nature of lexical items (words and multiword expressions), achieving interoperability among heterogeneous lexical content, NLP methods for extending and interlinking existing lexicons, and deploying the new resource in practical NLP applications. This book is targeted at everyone with an interest in lexicography, computational lexicography, lexical typology, lexical semantics, linguistics, computational linguistics and related fields. We believe it should be of particular interest to those who are or have been involved in language resource creation, development and evaluation.

"Karl Hartwig Gregor von Meusebach ist ein großer Unbekannter der deutschen und preußischen Kulturgeschichte. Als Jurist, Schriftsteller, Literaturhistoriker und Bibliophiler pflegte er Kontakt unter anderem mit den Brüdern Grimm, Hegel und Bettina von Arnim. Er sah sich als Sachwalter der deutschen Literatur seit Erfindung des Buchdrucks und baute im Laufe seines Lebens eine gewaltige Bibliothek auf, die als eine der wertvollsten Sammlungen deutscher Drucke heute noch existiert. Aus privaten Aufzeichnungen Meusebachs, den "Weißen Büchern", und anderen Quellen ergibt sich das Bild eines eigentümlich philosophischen und skurril humorvollen Charakters, der wissenschaftlich und politisch seiner Zeit vielfach voraus war: Meusebach spezialisierte sich auf frühneuzeitliche Dichtung, war mit progressiven Persönlichkeiten wie Hoffmann von Fallersleben befreundet und sah sich modern-weltbürgerlichen Werten verpflichtet."--Provided by publisher

Carving a Professional Identity: The occupational epigraphy of the Roman Latin West presents the results of long-term research into the occupational epigraphy from the Latin-language provinces of the Roman Empire. It catalogues stone epigraphs of independent professionals (thus excluding state workers, imperial slaves, freedmen and military personnel), comprising some 690 people, providing quantitative as well as qualitative analyses of the raw data. A glossary translating the occupational titles is also included. The book reveals a very lively work market, where specialisation responded to demand and brought social and economic status to the worker. The coherence of epigraphic habits and manifestations within a professional group, along with all the other existing clues for a rather unitary use of symbols, endorse once more the existence of a Roman provincial, commercial, middle class.
