In Mieters! buigt Wim Daniëls zich over de taal van de jaren vijftig. Die jaren begonnen nog behoorlijk sober, maar aan het eind ervan dansten de mensen de rock-'n-roll. Lang niet allemaal natuurlijk, maar er was toch wat swing en schwung in het leven gekomen, met veel nieuwigheden, waarbij ook nieuwe woorden hoorden. Er kwam televisie; er gingen sloombrommers en snelbrommers rijden; je kreeg de nozems, het maanschot en een sexbom in de hoedanigheid van een atoomblondine. De jaren vijftig vormen een fascinerend tijdperk. Dit boek laat dat tijdperk herleven aan de hand van de jarenvijftigtaal.

Human societies name and classify colours in various ways. Knowing this, is it possible to retrieve colour systems from the past? This book presents the basic principles of modern colour semantics, including the recognition of basic vocabulary, subsets, specialised terms and the significance of non-colour features. Each point is illustrated by case studies drawn from modern and historical languages from around the world. These include discussions of Icelandic horses, Peruvian guinea-pigs, medieval roses, the colour yellow in Stuart England, and Polynesian children's colour terms. Major techniques used in colour research are presented and discussed, such as the evolutionary sequence, Natural Semantic Metalanguage and Vantage Theory. The book also addresses whether we can understand the colour systems of the past, including prehistory, by combining various semantic techniques currently used in both modern and historical colour research with archaeological and environmental information.

Particle verbs (combinations of two words but lexical units) are a notorious problem in linguistics. Is a particle verb like look up one word or two? It has its own entry in dictionaries, as if it is one word, but look and up can be split up in a sentence: we can say He looked the information up and He looked up the information. But why can't we say He looked up it? In English look and up can only be separated by a direct object, but in Dutch the two parts can be separated over a much longer distance. How did such hybrid verbs arise and how do they function? How can we make sense of them in modern theories of language structure? This book sets out to answer these and other questions, explaining how these verbs fit into the grammatical systems of English and Dutch.
