Abstract

Das Lebenswerk Hermann Pauls (1846-1921) liegt in seinen "Prinzipien der Sprachgeschichte", in seinem "Deutschen Wörterbuch" und seiner mehrbändigen "Deutschen Grammatik" vor. Diese Arbeiten werden vorbereitet u.a. durch Pauls Münchener Akademieabhandlungen; überdies zieht Paul am Ende in zwei Spätschriften ein Fazit. Darüber hinaus mischt er sich ein: mit Reden über Deutsche Philologie und ihren Stellenwert im Leben der Nation und über das Universitätsstudium, zudem mit Stellungnahmen zur Rechtschreibung und Rechtlautung. Der Band versammelt diese prägnanten und heute noch aktuellen Schriften und Reden, zusammen mit einem Kapitel zur Biographie Pauls (mit ausgewählten Nachrufen und Briefen) und einer vollständigen Bibliographie seiner Schriften und der Sekundärliteratur (in Auswahl). Einführung und Kommentare der Herausgeber erschließen den Band, der der lebhaften 'Paul-Philologie' neue Anstöße geben soll.

Abstract

In dieser Arbeit geht es um die verschiedenen Faktoren, die den inhaltlichen Aufbau und die Wahl spezifischer Ausdrucksmittel im Prozeß der Textproduktion steuern. Es wird zunächst ein Beschreibungsinstrumentarium entwickelt, das Textstrukturen auf globaler und lokaler Ebene integrativ abzubilden erlaubt. Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchungen ist die schon aus der antiken Rhetorik vertraute These, daß die kommunikative Aufgabe, die Quaestio, die der Text in seiner Gesamtheit zu beantworten versucht, wesentliche strukturelle und inhaltliche Vorgaben für die Gestaltung eines Textes macht. Diese These wird anhand umfangreichen empirischen Materials belegt. Als Datenbasis werden mündlich produzierte Erzählungen, Beschreibungen und Instruktionen herangezogen, die unter kontrollierten Bedingungen erhoben wurden. Ebenfalls untersucht wird die Rolle kognitiver Faktoren auf die Textplanung. Hierunter verstehen wir spezifische Vorgaben, die mit der thematisierten Wissensbasis verbunden sind. Im einzelnen wird nachgewiesen, daß die Art der Wissensaufnahme (Kognitionsphase), die Merkmale der verbalisierten Wissensstruktur (hierarchischer Aufbau, Standardisiertheit) und das beim Hörer unterstellte einschlägige Vorwissen (Hörermodell) Inhalt und Form von Texten systematisch beeinflussen. Eine detaillierte Untersuchung des Gebrauchs hypotaktischer Ausdrucksmittel belegt, daß diese Form konsequent zum Erhalt global gesetzter Strukturvorgaben (wie Perspektive, Granularitätsniveau, Linearisierungskriterium) verwendet wird. Die Ergebnisse der empirischen Analysen werden im Lichte bestehender Modelle der Textproduktion diskutiert. Es zeigt sich, daß strikt modulare und sequentielle Modelle diesen Ergebnissen nicht gerecht werden können.

Abstract

Terminology has started to explore unbeaten paths since Wüster, and has nowadays grown into a multi-facetted science, which seems to have reached adulthood, thanks to integrating multiple contributions not only from different linguistic schools, including computer, corpus, variational, socio-cognitive and socio-communicative linguistics, and frame-based semantics, but also from engineering and formal language developers. In this ever changing and diverse context, Terminology offers a wide range of opportunities ranging from standardized and prescriptive to prototype and user-based approaches. At this point of its road map, Terminology can nowadays claim to offer user-based and user-oriented, hence user-friendly, approaches to terminological phenomenona, when searching, extracting and analysing relevant terminology in online corpora, when building term bases that contribute to efficient communication among domain experts in languages for special purposes, or even when proposing terms and definitions formed on the basis of a generally agreed consensus in international standard bodies. Terminology is now ready to advance further, thanks to the integration of meaning description taking into account dynamic natural language phenomena, and of consensus-based terminology management in order to help experts communicate in their domain-specific languages. In this Handbook of Terminology (HoT), the symbiosis of Terminology with Linguistics allows a mature and multi-dimensional reflection on terminological phenomena, which will eventually generate future applications which have not been tested yet in natural language. The HoT aims at disseminating knowledge about terminology (management) and at providing easy access to a large range of topics, traditions, best practices, and methods to a broad audience: students, researchers, professionals and lecturers in Terminology, scholars and experts from other disciplines (among which linguistics, life sciences, metrology, chemistry, law studies, machine engineering, and actually any expert domain). In addition, the HoT addresses any of those with a professional or personal interest in (multilingual) terminology, translation, interpreting, localization, editing, etc., such as communication specialists, translators, scientists, editors, public servants, brand managers, engineers, (intercultural) organization specialists, and experts in any field.

Abstract

The origins of learner corpus research go back to the late 1980s when large electronic collections of written or spoken data started to be collected from foreign/second language learners, with a view to advancing our understanding of the mechanisms of second language acquisition and developing tailor-made pedagogical tools. Engaging with the interdisciplinary nature of this fast-growing field, The Cambridge Handbook of Learner Corpus Research explores the diverse and extensive applications of learner corpora, with 27 chapters written by internationally renowned experts. This comprehensive work is a vital resource for students, teachers and researchers, offering fresh perspectives and a unique overview of the field. With representative studies in each chapter which provide an essential guide on how to conduct learner corpus research in a wide range of areas, this work is a cutting-edge account of learner corpus collection, annotation, methodology, theory, analysis and applications.

Abstract

This handbook comprises an in-depth presentation of the state of the art in word-formation. The five volumes contain 207 articles written by leading international scholars. The XVI chapters of the handbook provide the reader, in both general articles and individual studies, with a wide variety of perspectives: word-formation as a linguistic discipline (history of science, theoretical concepts), units and processes in word-formation, rules and restrictions, semantics and pragmatics, foreign word-formation, language planning and purism, historical word-formation, word-formation in language acquisition and aphasia, word-formation and language use, tools in word-formation research. The final chapter comprises 74 portraits of word-formation in the individual languages of Europe and offers an innovative perspective. These portraits afford the first overview of this kind and will prove useful for future typological research. This handbook will provide an essential reference for both advanced students and researchers in word-formation and related fields within linguistics.

Abstract

The emergence of empirical approaches to L2 pronunciation research and teaching is a powerful fourth wave in the history of the field. Authored by two leading proponents of evidence-based instruction, this volume surveys both foundational and cutting-edge empirical work and pinpoints its ramifications for pedagogy. The authors begin by tracing the history of pronunciation instruction and explicating L2 phonetic learning processes. Subsequent chapters explore the themes, strengths, and ethical problems of the field through the lens of the intelligibility principle. The importance of error gravi

Abstract

SLA literature tends to focus predominantly on what motivates language learners, but what demotivates them has not been widely discussed. This book, focusing exclusively on demotivation, will help readers to understand motivational issues from a different perspective. The aims of the work are threefold: to present the current developments of demotivation research in the field of SLA and bridge motivational theory/research and demotivation research; to promote the understanding of possible causes of demotivation; and to expand the focus of demotivation research through a reflection on current motivation theory/research and a discussion of methodological issues.  The research presented in this book is situated in Japanese English-teaching contexts and will serve as a foundation for anyone wishing to better understand the causes of demotivation in SLA and to explore the topic in their own contexts.

Abstract

This book, written for both seasoned and novice researchers, presents a theory of what is called Basic and Higher Language Cognition (BLC and HLC), a theory aimed at making some fundamental issues concerning first and second language learning and bilingualism (more) empirical. The first part of the book provides background for and explication of the theory as well as an agenda for future research, while the second part reports on selected studies of language proficiency in native speakers, as well as non-native speakers, and studies of the relationship between literacy in a first and second language. Conceptual and methodological problems in measuring language proficiency in research on second language acquisition and bilingualism are also discussed. Further, the notion of levels of language proficiency, as rendered by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), is critically examined, suggesting ways of empirically investigating a number of questions that the CEFR raises but is not capable of answering.
