Opis

TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes, which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.

Recenzje

"ANTONSENS Beiträge zur Runenforschung zeichnen sich nach eigener Einschätzung durch eine Methode linguistischer Rigorosität aus. Das macht ihre unzweifelbare Bedeutung aus. Rigorism lädt aber auch zu kritischer Diskussion ein."Heinrich Beck in: Zeitschrift für Dialektologie und Linguistik 2/2006
