1. Vor mehr als sechzigJahren schon hat NICHOLAS POPPE eine pragmatische Be- merkung gemacht, die fiir die Genese der als "Heldenmarchen/Reckenmarchen" (bayaturliy uliger) oder "Heldensagen" (bayaturliy domoy) bekannten miindlich tra- dierten Uberlieferungen von Bedeutung ist, indem er, die abnehmende Verbrei- tung der Reimepen (tuulis) bei den Khalkha-Mongolen beklagend, von der Weiter- gabe vieler Epen als "Prosamarchen" sagte: "Solche Heldensagen, die von Anfang bis Ende in Reimen vorgetragen...

Die nilotische Sprache Maa wird in Kenia und Tansania gesprochen. Das Buch beschreibt und analysiert synchron die Morphologie des Maa aus dialektologischer Sicht. Beispielsweise markieren Suffixe den Plural. Sie sind ausserst heterogen und koennen mit semantischen Bereichen korrelieren. Unterschiedliche Tonmuster sind eine weitere numerusunterscheidende Strategie. Zudem beschaftigt sich das Buch mit periphrastischen Wortbildungen, Derivationen, Prafixen, Singulariatantum und Pluraliatantum sowie...

Neben einem kritischen Uberblick uber Theorien und empirische Arbeiten zum Einfluss morphologischer Strukturen auf die visuelle Worterkennungsleistung werden eigene experimentelle Untersuchungen dargestellt und diskutiert. Dabei wird die Hypothese verfolgt, dass insbesondere flexionsmorphologische Merkmale bzw. morphosyntaktische Informationen und semantisch-lexikalische Informationen einer Wortform unabhangig voneinander und damit auf verschiedenen Ebenen des Sprachverarbeitungssystems reprasen...

Our preferences determine how we act and think, but exactly what the mechanics are and how they work is a central cause of concern in many disciplines. This book uses techniques from modern logics of information flow and action to develop a unified new theory of what preference is and how it changes. The theory emphasizes reasons for preference, as well as its entanglement with our beliefs. Moreover, the book provides dynamic logical systems which describe the explicit triggers driving preferenc...

A speech for the defence in a Paris murder trial, a road-safety slogan, Hobbes' political theory; each appeals to reason of a kind, but it remains an oblique and rhetoricalldnd. Each relies on comparisons rather than on direct statements, and none can override or supersede the conclusions of ethical reasoning proper. Nevertheless, just as slogans may do more for road safety than the mere recital of accident statistics, or of the evidence given at coroners' inquests, so the arguments of a Hobbes...

While previous research on collective nouns in Romance languages mostly adopts a semasiological and theoretical perspective focusing mainly on one single language, the present study takes an onomasiological and comparative approach which is strongly based on empirical evidence. Against this background and in analogy to the verbal domain, the work elaborates further the functional category of nominal aspectuality which describes the construal of extra-linguistic entities as well as the lingui...

Representing what someone else has said is an integral part of spoken and written communication. Speech representation occurs in many contexts from news reports and legal trials to everyday conversation. Although commonplace, it requires sophisticated choices regarding what to represent and how to represent it. These choices can highlight a speaker's voice, shape our perception of the reported speech, or support our claims of authority.While speech representation in Present-day English has been...

The process of probing beneath and even shaving or sanding away the language undergirding literary works that, word by word, line by line and page by page, sustains a narrative's arc, contributes to the perspective of writer as architect. For it not only positions, but also reinforces the significance of line, mass, texture, balance, scale and proportion in a new world, a created structure and the spaces that organize it, that if expertly executed, endures over time.
