Diese Studie beschreibt die Entwicklung des franzosischen Modussystems vom Spatlateinischen bis zum francais classique im Rahmen eines koharenten modalsemantischen Ansatzes. Die Entwicklungen werden mit denen in anderen romanischen Sprachen kontrastiert, wobei dem italienischen Modussystem aufgrund seiner bemerkenswerten Kontinuitat die Funktion einer Kontrastfolie zukommt.

In der Analyse wird die zentrale Bedeutung modalitatsspezifischer Domanen fur die Organisation und Ausdifferenzierung der Modussysteme in den romanischen Sprachen deutlich. Sie erscheinen insbesondere...

A central debate about the description of auxiliary selection concerns the regularity of auxiliary selection from a typological perspective. Thus, studies of auxiliary selection have both stressed the fact that certain recurrent parameters are highly relevant to the description of auxiliary selection, whereas other studies demonstrate significant differences in auxiliary selection systems.
By integrating the synchronic and diachronic levels of linguistic description, the papers in the present volume work towards a framework that explains these contradictory findings. They discuss the...

This study examines the phenomenon of Italian-Spanish multilingualism during the Regno di Napoli in the 16th century. This period is investigated as an example of multilingualism using a range of documentation from bureaucratic communications. Departing from an analysis of multilingual texts and communication processes in the central administrative bodies, the study focuses particularly on the multilingualism of the persons involved.

Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new knowledge about human languages both synchronically and diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality linguistic studies...

The Dictionnaire Etymologique Roman (DERom) presents the first attempt at etymologizing the ancestral vocabulary of the Romance languages since the publication of Meyer-Lubke's REW. Deviating from practices commonly accepted and applied in etymological research, the DERom adopts a method that has so far, due to the extensive documentation of written Latin, been dismissed as being little viable for Romance Studies: the comparative analysis of grammar, used to reconstruct proto-Romance lexemes. This volume contains some 250 articles, written and revised by 40 specialists in Romance...

The publications focus on aspects of lexicography such as micro- and macrostructure, typology, history of the discipline, and application-oriented...

'Kausale Satzverbande' ist in dieser Arbeit der zusammenfassende Terminus fur jegliche Verknupfungen von traditionell sogenannten adverbialen Kausalsatzen (bzw. reason clauses in der CGEL) mit ihren Bezugsatzen. Diese Verknupfungen konnen 'taktischer' Natur sein (Para- und Hypotaxe ohne syntaktische Konstituenzbeziehung), oder der Kausalsatz kann in seinen Bezugsatz eingebettet sein (Kausalsatz ist Teil der VP des ubergeordneten Satzes). Because-Satze sind (abgesehen von den sprechaktbezogenen) eingebettet; as-, since- und for-Satze sind taktisch...
