From 1963 to 2011 Pacific Linguistics, located at the Australian National University, published over six hundred books concerned with the languages of the Pacific, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Southeast, South and East Asia. The Mouton Pacific Linguistics series represents a continuation of this publishing venture under the same Editorial Board.

The Pacific Linguistics series presents linguistic descriptions, dictionaries, and other materials concerned with languages of this region.

This volume presents a cross-section of research addressing the interaction of two prominent areas in linguistic theory: parenthesis and ellipsis. The contributions address various theoretical questions raised by 'incomplete' parenthetical constituents, covering a diverse empirical domain and various subfields of linguistics.

The new book series of Institut fur Deutsche Sprache (Institute of German Language, IDS) offers a platform for comparative research on chosen aspects of German linguistics, especially with regard to their typological relevance. It includes both monographs and edited volumes, in English and in German, on topics such as grammar (phonology, graphemics, morphology, syntax, semantics), lexis, pragmatics, second-language acquisition, multilingualism and language contact. All publications are innovative contributions to the description of the linguistic phenomena in question, but also to the...

Taking as a point of departure ideas and principles from the 18th and 19th century Danish tradition, and from 20th century traditions of the Copenhagen School of linguistics, this book attempts to set up a formal theory of syntax that addresses some of the weak points of other formal grammars, notably Chomskyan grammar.

After introductions to the ideas of Brondal, Hjelmslev and Diderichsen, Gotzsche lays the philosophical and theoretical foundations of his formalism, based on a theory of universal pragmatics and on the invention of a special kind of formal logic called 'occurrence...

Under the tenet shared by Hornstein and Kayne that rules of construal need to be recaptured by the operation Move, this book aims to construct a movement theory of anaphora according to which anaphoric relations are established through movement of pro. This theory has significant theoretical implications for reconstruction effects and pro-drop phenomena. It has brought binding theory into the realm of the Minimalist Program.

In Voice and v, Julie Anne Legate investigates the syntactic structure of voice, using Acehnese as the empirical starting point. A central claim is that voice is encoded in a functional projection, VoiceP, which is distinct from, and higher than, vP. Legate further claims that VoiceP may be associated with phi-features that semantically restrict the external argument position but do not saturate it. Through minor variations in the properties of VoiceP, Legate explains a wide range of non-canonical voice constructions, including: agent-agreeing passives, grammatical object passives,...

Schon seit ihrer Grundung in den 1970er-Jahren ist die Reihe Germanistische Linguistik (RGL) exponiertes Forum des Faches, dessen Namen sie im Titel fuhrt. Hinsichtlich der thematischen Breite (Sprachebenen, Varietaten, Kommunikationsformen, Epochen), der Forschungsperspektiven (Theorie und Empirie, Grundlagenforschung und Anwendung, Inter- und Transdisziplinaritat) und des methodologischen Spektrums ist die Reihe offen angelegt. Das Aufgreifen neuer Trends hat in ihr ebenso Platz wie das Fortfuhren von Bewahrtem. Die Publikationsformen reichen von Monographien und Sammelbanden...

'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...

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...

Mit dem Konzept der Valenz steht ein theoretisches Modell zur Verfugung, das die verschiedenen semantischen und syntaktischen Aspekte der Beziehung zwischen typischerweise verbalen Pradikaten und ihren typischerweise nominalen Aktanten im Satz erfat. Dagegen mussen die entsprechenden Verhaltnisse innerhalb komplexer Pradikate als weitgehend ungeklart gelten. Welcher Art sind - aus valenztheoretischer Sicht - in komplexen Pradikaten wie etwa faire faillite die Beziehungen zwischen dem formal verbalen, flektierbaren Formativ faire und dem formal nicht-verbalen Pradikatskern...

In dieser Arbeit wird im Rahmen der multidimensionalen Valenztheorie und einem Modell thematischer Proto-Rollen eine universelle Theorie des Linkings von Kasus mit thematischen Rollen entwickelt, die nicht nur Voraussagen uber unmarkierte Valenzen, z.B. Nominativ-Akkusativ bzw. Absolutiv-Ergativ, sondern auch uber markierte, z.B. Nominativ- bzw. Absolutiv-Dativ, macht. Anhand umfangreicher Datensammlungen aus 11 Sprachen wird gezeigt, da markierte Valenzen sprachubergreifend haufig bei Verben mit bestimmten Bedeutungen auftreten und dabei z.T. gegenuber unmarkierten praferiert sind. In der...
