Abstract

The dimensions of time and space fundamentally cause and shape the variability of all human language. To reduce investigation of this insight to manageable proportions, researchers have traditionally concentrated on the "deepest" dialects. But it is increasingly apparent that, although most people still speak with a distinct regional coloring, the new mobility of speakers in recently industrialized and postindustrial societies and the efflorescence of communication technologies cannot be ignored. This has given rise to a reconsideration of the relationship between geographical place and cultural space, and the fundamental link between language and a spatially bounded territory. Language and Space: An International Handbook of Linguistic Variation seeks to take full account of these developments in a comprehensive, theoretically rich way. The introductory volume examines the concept of space and linguistic approaches to it, the structure and dynamics of language spaces, and relevant research methods. A second volume offers the first thorough exploration of the interplay between linguistic investigation and cartography, and subsequent volumes uniformly document the state of research into the spatial dimension of particular language groupings.

Abstract

The proposition that there is a correlation between language and culture or culture-specific ways of thinking can be traced back to the views of Herder and von Humboldt in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is generally accepted today that a language, especially its lexicon, influences its speakers' cultural patterns of thought and perception in various ways, for example through a culture-specific segmentation of the extralinguistic reality, the frequency of occurrence of particular lexical items, or the existence of keywords or key word combinations revealing core cultural values. The aim of this volume is to explore the cultural dimension of a wide range of preconstructed or semi-preconstructed word combinations in English. The 17 papers of the volume are divided into four sections, focusing on particular lexemes (e.g. enjoy and its collocates), types of word combinations (e.g. proverbs and similes), use-related varieties (such as the language of tourism or answering-machine messages), and user-related varieties (such as Aboriginal English or African English). The sections are preceded by a prologue, tracing the development of the study of formulaic language, and followed by an epilogue, which draws together the threads laid out in the various papers. The relation between language and culture in general has been explored in a number of important works over the past ten years. However, the study of the relation between English phraseology and culture in particular has been largely neglected. This volume is the first book-length publication devoted entirely to this topic.

Abstract

Als Ausgangspunkt wird die Beziehung zwischen den Pronomen (Artikel) und dem Satzbau, d.h. zwischen der Referenz und der Syntax/Semantik, und besonders zwischen dem Fehlen des Artikels und A.c.I.-Konstruktion vom Gesichtspunkt der Satzverbindung aus berücksichtigt und durch die Montague Grammar erklärt. Dann werden die A.c.I.-Konstruktion und die Verwendung der Demonstrativpronomen in verschiedenen Sprachgebieten (Juristen-, Alt- und Spätlateinischen) untersucht. Der relativische Anschluß, die Objektionsprolexis und die Entwicklung des lateinischen Passivs werden ausführlich behandelt und die bemerkenswerten Verschiedenheiten des Lateinischen hinsichtlich der romanischen Sprachen hervorgehoben. Im dritten Kapitel kommt das Reflexivpronomen zur Sprache, und dadurch wird ein wichtiges Mittel zum Verständnis der Infinitivkonstruktion eingeführt. Auf die Nominalflexion richtet der Autor schließlich seine Aufmerksamkeit, um zu klären, welche Rolle die Entwicklung der Kasusflexion in der Veränderung der Satzverbindung und daher in der Entstehung der Artikel gespielt hat. Außerdem wird im Buch die Kontrolle-Theorie Chomskys angewendet, und durch sie und das Prolepsis- und Fokussierungskriterium wird eine neue Erklärung der A.c.I.-Konstruktion erreicht.
