The volume brings together a selection of papers from a symposium on Conditionality held in the University of Duisburg on 25-26 March 1994. Ten years after the Stanford symposium, the Proceedings of which were edited by Traugott et al. (1986), the area of conditionality is revisited in a synthesis of issues and aspects with insights drawn from the wider framework of general processes of conceptualisation. One major question is therefore what conceptual categories fall under conditionality or how far the notion of conditionality can be extended.
This volume presents a collection of 23 papers by renowned linguists on current research in the field of theoretical linguistics. The book focuses on linguistic theory and metatheory, and on fundamental concepts and assumptions of modern linguistics.
This book brings together leading international scholars to consider whether in some languages there are phenomena which are unique to morphology, determined neither by phonology or syntax. Central to these phenomena is the notion of the 'morphome', conceived by Mark Aronoff in 1994 as a function, itself lacking form and meaning but which serves systematically to relate them. The classic examples of morphomes are determined neither phonologically or morphosyntactically, and appear to be an autonomous property of the synchronic organization of morphological paradigms.
"Language Policy is a comprehensive and authoritative contribution to the field. It deals with all of the complexity and challenges of conducting research in LP while never losing sight of the fact that an important goal of LPP research is to promote social justice. The book provides a detailed analysis of the history of the field, research methods, examples of model projects, as well as critiques and limitations of methods and theories. In the end, this is a masterful account of an important field of scholarly inquiry rendered in clear accessible prose.
The development of phrasal verbs in British English from 1650 to 1990: A corpus-based study
This dissertation tackles some of these and other questions concerning the nature of phrasal verbs. On the one hand, I intend to delimit the concept of phrasal verb as conceived of in PDE. On the other hand, I aim at filling a gap in literature of phrasal verbs by carrying out a corpus analysis of the development of these structures in the most recent history of English, more precisely between 1650 and 1990. The third aim of the present dissertation is to establish a relationship between these structures and the processes of grammaticalization, lexicalization and idiomatization.
