Die vorliegende Sammlung von zwanzig Artikeln reflektiert den neuesten Stand der germanistischen Linguistik. Die in dem Buch aufgezeigte Diskussion schenkt der historischen germanischen Linguistik große Beachtung, den eigentlichen Schwerpunkt bilden jedoch Diskussionen zur germanistischen Phonologie, Morphologie und Syntaxstruktur der modernen deutschen Sprache.
Die einzelnen Beiträge befassen sich durchweg mit den "klassischen" Wissen-schaftsgebieten innerhalb der Disziplin, die jedoch im Lichte eines neuen, pluralistischen Ansatzes erarbeitet werden.

Klappentext

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 approaching language from an interdisciplinary perspective. 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. To discuss your book idea or submit a proposal, please contact Birgit Sievert.
