Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften The Pragmatics of Commitment
Book SynopsisCommitment is connected to central linguistic features, such as modality and evidentiality. It has thus been investigated in many branches of the field. Building upon this heterogeneous literature, this book offers a cognitive pragmatic account of the processes involved in utterance interpretation, crucially when the hearer assesses the level of commitment linked to it. This research illustrates that the relevance-theoretic notion of strength can be used to capture the cognitive effects of commitment markers (as I think that X, I am sure that X, etc.). The author’s model is based on a novel typology as well as predictions which were experimentally tested. The results show that commitment to an utterance is indeed cognitively determined by the strength of the hearer’s corresponding assumptions.Table of ContentsTable of contents - Kira Boulat - Enunciation Theory and Linguistic Polyphony - Speech Act Theory-Studies on dialogue and argumentation -Relevance Theory-Commitment in linguistics: a summary -Modelling commitment -Theoretical predictions of the model -Experimental pragmatics and memory tasks -Three experimental studies -General discussion - Conclusion

De Gruyter Writing Systems and Their Use: An Overview of
Book SynopsisGrapholinguistics, the multifaceted study of writing systems, is growing increasingly popular, yet to date no coherent account covering and connecting its major branches exists. This book now gives an overview of the core theoretical and empirical questions of this field. A treatment of the structure of writing systems—their relation to speech and language, their material features, linguistic functions, and norms, as well as the different types in which they come—is complemented by perspectives centring on the use of writing, incorporating psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic issues such as reading processes or orthographic variation as social action. Examples stem from a variety of diverse systems such as Chinese, English, Japanese, Arabic, Thai, German, and Korean, which allows defining concepts in a broadly applicable way and thereby constructing a comparative grapholinguistic framework that provides readers with important tools for studying any writing system. The book emphasizes that grapholinguistics is a discipline in its own right, inviting discussion and further research in this up-and-coming field as well as an overdue integration of writing into general linguistic discussion.

Peter Lang AG Die Gesellschaft fuer deutsche Sprache:
Book SynopsisDie Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache (GfdS), 1947 als Nachfolgeorganisation des Deutschen Sprachvereins gegründet, trat ein problematisches Erbe an. Die personelle und ideelle Verflechtung der beiden Einrichtungen trug zunächst zu einer Konservierung überkommenen Gedankengutes bei. Erst nach heftigen internen Debatten über das Vereinsziel Sprachpflege begann eine vorsichtige Abgrenzung der GfdS von ihrem Vorgänger, in deren Folge sie sich als anerkannte Sprachpflegeeinrichtung etablieren konnte.

Peter Lang AG Studien zu Sprache und Stil in alt- und
Book SynopsisDiese Studien behandeln anhand repräsentativer Texte der alt- und mittelhochdeutschen Literatur zentrale Themen im Bereich von Sprache und Stil. Dazu gehören Parataxe und Hypotaxe in althochdeutscher Prosa und im Nibelungenlied, Parenthese sowie Sprachstil in der frühmittelhochdeutschen Epik, vor allem im Rolandslied und in der Kaiserchronik. Außerdem zählen dazu Stilmittel (insbesondere Metaphorik) bei Walther und Hartmann hier im Vergleich mit dem Rolandslied sowie mit dem spätmittelhochdeutschen Helmbrecht, dazu die Sprachreflexion Hartmanns in seinem Werk und, als Anhang, Sprachwandel der Gegenwart in diachroner Sicht. Die Studien verstehen sich als Beitrag zur deutschen Sprachgeschichte (dazu u.a.: komplexe Hypotaxe der höfischen Passagen im Nibelungenlied, Relevanz der Parenthese im Frühmittelhochdeutschen, zum Teil zyklischer Charakter beim Sprachwandel); sie sind aber auch Anregung für Kritik und weitere Untersuchungen zur Thematik.

Kapon Editions Linear B: Transcribing the Linear B and Linear A
Book SynopsisEnglish language. 6 b&w illustrations, 7 tables. Set of 3 books. ‘Linear B, a New Outlook’, by Nicholas A. Massouridis, is the product of thirty years’ study of the phonetic values of the signs of the Linear B script. Proof that Massouridis's method is correct is demonstrated by the fact that the values have been applied by his son, Pandelis Massouridis, for over ten years. They have also been applied for the first time to the reading of dedications and Linear A tablets from Ayia Triada. Readers will be enchanted by the wonderful world and descriptive wealth of the composite words of the Greek language found in the tablets, as this language evolved towards the Homeric dialect.
