This reference work delivers an interdisciplinary, applied spatial and geographical approach to the study of languages and linguistics. This work includes chapters and sections related to language origins, diffusion, conflicts, policies, education/instruction, representation, technology, regions, and mapping. Also addressed is the mapping of languages and linguistic diversity, on language in the context of politics, on the relevance of language to cultural identity, on language minorities and endangered languages, and also on language and the arts and non-human language and communication. This reference work looks at the subject matter and contributors to the disciplines and programs in the social sciences and humanities, and the dearth of materials on languages and linguistics. The topics covered are not only discipline-centered, but in the cutting-edge fields that intersect several disciplines and also cut across the social sciences and humanities. These include gender studies, sustainability and development, technology and social media impacts, law and human rights, climate change, public health and epidemiology, architecture, religion, visual representation and mapping. These new and emerging research directions and other intersecting fields are not traditionally discipline-bounded, but cut across numerous fields. The volumes will appeal to those within existing fields and disciplines and those working the intersections at local, regional and global scales.

Word storage and processing define a multi-factorial domain of scientific inquiry whose thorough investigation goes well beyond the boundaries of traditional disciplinary taxonomies, to require synergic integration of a wide range of methods, techniques and empirical and experimental findings. The present book intends to approach a few central issues concerning the organization, structure and functioning of the Mental Lexicon, by asking domain experts to look at common, central topics from complementary standpoints, and discuss the advantages of developing converging perspectives. The book will explore the connections between computational and algorithmic models of the mental lexicon, word frequency distributions and information theoretical measures of word families, statistical correlations across psycho-linguistic and cognitive evidence, principles of machine learning and integrative brain models of word storage and processing. Main goal of the book will be to map out the landscape of future research in this area, to foster the development of interdisciplinary curricula and help single-domain specialists understand and address issues and questions as they are raised in other disciplines.

Das Einführungsbuch beschreibt die deutsche Sprache in allen Dimensionen und Rängen unter der Leitfrage, wie Sprache, Wissen, und Handeln zusammenhängen und mit der kulturellen und sozialen Gemeinschaft verwoben sind. Es greift den aktuellen empirischen und theoretischen Forschungsstand zur deutschen Sprache auf und stellt ihn in Form eines Lesebuchs dar Die gebrauchsbasierte und soziokognitive Beschreibungsperspektive ist in der aktuellen sprachwissenschaftlichen Forschung ein zentrales Paradigma. Hier dient sie erstmals als Grundlage einer linguistischen Einführung in die deutsche Sprache. Im Vordergrund steht dabei der Bezug zur eigenen Sprachverwendung der Leserinnen und Leser. Die Einführung regt dazu an, die zentrale Rolle der Sprache für den Menschen zu verstehen und das weitere Studium der Linguistik für die eigenständige Erkundung der vielfältigen Zusammenhänge, in denen Sprache steht, zu nutzen. Das geschieht aus einer klaren linguistischen Haltung heraus, aber durchgehend an den Sachverhalten orientiert und terminologisch nicht einer einzelnen linguistischen Schule verpflichtet. This introduction focuses on language usage in everyday speech, and in this way, connects with the reader’s personal experiences. It explores how the processes and practices of language use shape speech patterns and structures. The book uses linguistic insights to stimulate the independent discovery of the diverse interconnections in language.

In recent years the focus in linguistics research has shifted from the investigation of syntax, phonology and logical semantics supported by intuitions and speculation, to a more hard-nosed analysis of words in text and speech, focusing on how words are actually used. As such, lexicography has moved from the periphery to the centre of language research. At the same time, lexicography itself is in transition from a highly traditional craft, to a new interdisciplinary science. This handbook contrasts traditional methods of lexicography with newly emerging electronic and corpus-driven approaches. The International Handbook of Modern Lexis and Lexicography is a fully international and comprehensive reference work. It deals with every aspect of lexicography in all major languages, together with area studies of lexicography in indigenous languages, as well as rare and endangered languages. Readers will benefit from the comparative study of best practice and future targets in lexicography in all the countries of the world. The Springer Handbook will be of interest to users ranging from general readers and undergraduates to specialists from the fields of lexicography, language teaching, computational linguistics, translation studies, and literary and cultural studies.

Gefördert durch die Klasse der Literatur und der Musik der Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur | Mainz Mehr als vierzig Jahre hat sich der Sprachwissenschaftler und Mediävist Uwe Pörksen mit der Geschichte der deutschen Wissenschaftssprachen beschäftigt. Seine Arbeiten umfassen den Zeitraum vom 16. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart und widmen sich einem thematisch breiten Spektrum, das in unterschiedlichen Gattungen – vom wissenschaftlichen Aufsatz und Überblicksartikel zum Vortrag und Essay – erschlossen wird. Der Band versammelt zwanzig in fünf Jahrzehnten verstreut publizierte Beiträge. Die Vielfalt von Wissenschaftssprachen, ihr Wandel und zugleich ihre beständige Aufgabe, Erkenntnisse über Wirklichkeit in Sprache zu fassen, wird an Autoren wie Paracelsus, Leibniz, Jochmann, Darwin, Linné oder Freud erörtert, aber auch an Problemen wie der Sprachenwahl (Latein, Deutsch, Englisch), der Rolle von Metaphern im wissenschaftlichen Denken oder dem Verhältnis von Sprache und Bild. Erstmals publiziert ist Pörksens Habilitationsschrift Erkenntnis und Sprache in Goethes Naturwissenschaft (1974), in der zahlreiche Aspekte seines Denkens und Forschens bereits enthalten sind. In seiner Zusammenstellung sucht der Sammelband Impulse zur weiteren Erforschung des aktuellen, über die Fachgrenzen hinaus relevanten Themas „Wissenschaftssprachen“ zu geben. The history of German scientific language from the 16th century to the present day is the primary research focus of the linguist and medievalist Uwe Pörksen. Twenty chapters covering forty years of her work nuance this theme, which extends beyond disciplinary boundaries. Published for the first time, Pörksen’s 1974 habilitation thesis Knowledge and Language in Goethe’s Writings on Natural Science is the center of her thought and research.
