Mit der Ubernahme von Wortern und Wortbildungseinheiten aus anderen Sprachen ins Deutsche beginnt gleichzeitig ihr Einburgerungsprozess. Ein Teilprozess hiervon ist die graphematische Assimilation, uber deren historischen Entwicklungsprozess bislang wenig bekannt ist. Diesen Mangel beklagen auch jungere Beitrage im Umfeld der Orthographiereform von 1996.
Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Entwicklung der Fremdwortschreibung im 19. Jahrhundert anhand einschlagiger orthographischer Regelwerke und Texte des Schreibusus. Erkenntnisleitend sind die Fragen, inwiefern Usus und...

Erstmals werden in dieser Publikation die Familiennamen des heutigen Luxemburgs aus sprachhistorischer Perspektive analysiert und systematisiert. Die 2500 haufigsten Familiennamen werden basierend auf synchronen und diachronen Quellen sorgfaltig hinsichtlich Namentyp, Etymologie, sprachhistorischer Entwicklung und geographischer Verbreitung untersucht. Die Beschreibung der Verbreitung ist nicht auf Luxemburg eingeschrankt, sondern berucksichtigt auch die Grenzregionen mit Deutschland, Frankreich, Belgien und den Niederlanden, um historische Gemeinsamkeiten und Migrationen im Raum zwischen...

Variation ist ein wesentliches Merkmal von Sprachen und auf allen Ebenen der linguistischen Beschreibung zu finden. In der Forschungsliteratur wird allgemein angenommen, dass Variation - sofern es nicht zur funktionalen oder semantischen Ausdifferenzierung kommt - langfristig zu Verdrangungsprozessen und damit zu Sprachwandel fuhrt. Als empirische Evidenz wird zumeist die Seltenheit lexikalischer Synonyme genannt. Der vorliegende Band bietet eine kritische Betrachtung dieser Annahme am Beispiel morphologisch-syntaktischer Konkurrenzen im Deutschen und Niederlandischen. Konkreter...

This series welcomes book proposals detailing innovative and cutting edge research and theorisation in the field of English as a lingua franca (ELF), in essence, English as the chosen medium of communication among people from different first languages. The unprecedented use of English as an international lingua franca, largely because of its relationship with the processes of globalisation, has led to the realization that conventional attitudes to English and approaches to its study need to be critically examined. This has resulted in a very considerable and fast-growing field of research...

In this work, originally published in Dutch, Rik Smits theorizes that language could not have developed originally as a system of communication. It is, instead, the result of combining separate abilities, each of which developed independently to aid the survival of early humans. Lacking strength and speed, man relies on wisdom for survival. Smits theorizes that human skills in calculation and estimation continued to develop until they were sufficient to accommodate a system as complex as grammar.

Only after our linguistic ability emerged could humans think logically and share our...
