Transcript Verlag The Notion of »holy« in Ancient Armenian Texts
Book SynopsisReligious studies have long discussed the comparative notion of "holy" beyond religious, cultural, and linguistic boundaries. In this book, Thomas Jurczyk conducts a diachronic comparison of the meaning and application of two notions and their related word fields that are commonly associated with a broader comparative notion of holy, namely the Ancient Armenian term "surb" and its related words and the English word field associated with "holy". To compare these two semantic fields, his methodological approach operates on the principle of distributional semantics and applies, among others, tools and methods from the field of corpus linguistics.Table of ContentsList of Figures and Tables; Acknowledgements; Introduction; State of Research; Methodology; Data; Examination; Comparison; Conclusion; Bibliography.

Museum Tusculanum Press Etude des modes dans le système concessif en
Book SynopsisBook & CD. Text in French. This volume describes the evolution of the mood system in concessive clauses during the period from Renaissance to Modern French based on data taken from huge electronic text corpora. This evolution is described with reference to a recent approach within the framework of grammaticalisation theory including reorganisations of grammatical systems. It is shown that the subjunctive has undergone a process of re-grammaticalisation since its domain has gradually been reduced, formally as well as functionally, in contrast to the indicative whose domain has been extended. This study also questions the general assumption that Romance languages can be considered to form a continuum between conservative and innovative languages by comparing the mood system of Renaissance French with that of Modern Spanish.

Aarhus University Press Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Language
Book SynopsisNative and foreign language competences constitute a widespread object of study among different scholars both in more theoretically oriented frameworks within general linguistics and in applied linguistics such as second language acquisition research. This book shows how language competences can be understood from different perspectives. The eight chapters in this book treat various dimensions of language competences and different aspects of English, German, and Spanish. The aim is to provide some answers to the often raised questions regarding language competence in practical as well as principled ways and to provide new angles on these competences in areas such as general linguistics, business communications, legal language, and within the service sector. The authors have worked within the foreign language and linguistic field for many years, making substantial contributions through the publication and dissemination of research in international journals and with international publishers. This volume is aimed at readers (scholars, students and professionals alike) who take an interest in language competences. The book thus offers a broad view on native and foreign language competences and the various facets of these concepts that are reflected in our multicultural and multilingual societies.

Museum Tusculanum Press Minor Mlabri
Book SynopsisThe language described in this monograph is spoken by a small hilltribe in Northern Indochina. Its existence has attracted considerable attention because of the legendary and intriguing primitiveness of the Mlabri or ''Spirits of the Yellow Leaves'', as they are traditionally called, but reliable information about the cultural heritage and particularly the language is sparse. This is true in particular of an ethnic subgroup whose culture and language are now close to extinction: the group is referred to as the ''Minor Mlabri''. This monograph is based on field notes from 1988 and later years in which the author visited the ''Minor-Mlabri''. The Mlabri are traditionally hunter-gatherers and seem to have been so for a long time. Until recently this was more or less the lifestyle of the small group under study here. They now associate with Hmongs in remote villages because they were for several years trapped in the war zone between Laos and Thailand and the few survivors of the ''Minor-Mlabri'' had to settle down in safer environments. Deforestation has made it increasingly difficult for them to live their traditional life in the area where they belong. Up to now, the Mlabri language (in all its varieties) has been unknown.

Museum Tusculanum Press Le passif périphrastique en français moderne
Book SynopsisCe travail a pour objectif de dégager les propriétés lexico-syntaxiques et sémantiques du passif dit périphrastique en français moderne et de corréler le décodage strictement linguistique á une élaboration pragmatique. L'auteur traite de la passivation comme une opération lexicale qui manipule la structure argumentale du verbe de base. Le système développé prévoit la formation de deux types de passifs reliés par une ligne dérivationnelle directe : le participe passif verbal peut être converti en adjectif. L'auteur montre comment les opérations d'ordre lexico-syntaxique sont systématiquement associées á des contraintes sémantiques et comment le décodage linguistique forme l'input au travail inférentiel dans la phase pragmatique.

Museum Tusculanum Press Densita Informativa: Tre Parametri
Book SynopsisTEXT IN ITALIAN. In a combined functional, cognitive and textual perspective and with focus on the contrastive aspect, the present study defines textual information density by the following three parameters; 1) the relation between explicit and implicit information; 2) the concrete elaboration of explicit and implicit density; 3) the relation between ''proper'' information and the quantity of linguist material which codes textual and interpersonal information. This study also presents an analytical model in order to compare the information density of different texts. As empiric material the interlinguistic Mr Bean-corpus is used.

Museum Tusculanum Press Structures linguistiques et interactionelles dans
Book SynopsisThis volume contains seven papers (by V Traverso, L Mondada, P Touati, A B Hansen and M-B Mosegaard Hansen, A. Coveney, C. Bozier, and E. Westin) which were presented at an international symposium on "Linguistic and interactional structures in spoken French", held at the University of Copenhagen in June 2001. The idea behind the symposium was to discuss the possibility of integrating various theoretical and methodological approaches in order to arrive at a more satisfying description of the spoken language. The papers reproduced here contribute to that discussion from several angles and at several levels of description.
