Gegenstand dieser Studie sind nonagentive Konstruktionen des Deutschen, die sich mageblich durch die ihnen eigene Perspektivierungsleistung auszeichnen. Sie werden als eigenstandige Formate aufgefasst mit konkreten Formen und spezifischen Bedeutungen. Damit wird das 'Konversenmodell' der 'aktivischen und passivischen Handlungsformen des Verbs' suspendiert.

Mit den Konstruktionen der ASKRIPTION, der KOMMUTATION und der AKZEPTATION werden drei Grundtypen modelliert und in einer korpuslinguistischen Studie aus dem Sprachgebrauch rekonstruiert. Dafur wurden uber 18500 systematisch...

Much attention in theoretical linguistics in the generative and Minimalist traditions is concerned with issues directly or indirectly related to movement. The EPP (extended projection principle), introduced by Chomsky in 1981, appeared to coincide with morphological agreement, and agreement came to play a central role as the driver of movement and other narrow-syntax operations. In this book, Shigeru Miyagawa continues his investigation into a computational equivalent for agreement in agreementless languages such as Japanese.

Miyagawa extends his theory of Strong Uniformity,...

This book brings together for the first time a series of previously published papers featuring Ian Roberts pioneering work on diachronic and comparative syntax over the last thirty years in one comprehensive volume. Divided into two parts, the volume engages in recent key topics in empirical studies of syntactic theory, with the eight papers on diachronic syntax addressing major changes in the history of English as well as broader aspects of syntactic change, including the introduction to the formal approach to grammaticalisation, and the eight papers on comparative syntax exploring...

Die vorliegende Untersuchung widmet sich der historischen formelhaften Sprache und versucht im Sinne der theoretischen und methodischen Grundlagenforschung erstmals systematisch die Fragen danach zu beantworten, was in den historischen Entwicklungsstufen einer Sprache als formelhaft gelten kann, welcher Pragung diese Formelhaftigkeit ist, auf welchen Ebenen sie zustande kommt und wie die diachronen Dynamiken der Verfestigungsprozesse aussehen.

This series takes account of the fact that empirical approaches based on qualitative or quantitative methods of corpus linguistics have become a central paradigm within linguistics. Usage-based approaches can be found on all linguistic levels, ranging from phonological and prosodic studies to those in the fields of morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics (the latter is especially prolific with, for example, discourse analysis, text linguistics or conversation analysis) as well as sociolinguistics and the analysis of media and computer-mediated communication.
The series intends to...

This book reconsiders the linguistic notion of emphasis. For many, the concept of emphasis is confined to information structure. However, our understanding of the grammatical reflexes of emphasis is only partial as long as the expressive side of utterances is not taken into account. The book explores similarities, differences, and interactions between information structure and the expressive dimension of language in the domain of natural language grammar.

Specifically, this monograph demonstrates that specific word order options, sometimes in combination with discourse particles,...
