Adverbs: Functional and diachronic aspects

Adverbs: Functional and diachronic aspectsAdverbs as a word class are notoriously difficult to define. The volume deals with the delimitation of this category, its internal structure, the morphological make-up of adverbs and their positions in syntactic structures. A closer look at diachronic developments sheds light on the characteristics of adverbial word-formation. Taking into account adverbs in German, English, Dutch, French and Italian, the contributions to this volume provide new insights into the characteristics of this heterogeneous and multi-faceted category and will be of interest to linguists working in the fields of morphology, syntax and language change.

Shakespeare's Festive Tragedy: The Ritual Foundations of GenreShakespeare's Festive Tragedy: The Ritual Foundations of Genre

In Shakespearean studies, the category of the festive has been applied by critics only to the comedies. In this groundbreaking and provocative work, Naomi Conn Liebler introduces the category of festive tragedy. Shakespearean tragedy is, she argues, a celebration of communal survival, demonstrating what happens when a community violates or neglects the ritual structures that define and preserve it
