Download or read book A History of English Reflexive Pronouns written by Elly van Gelderen and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2000-10-20 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a number of seemingly distinct phenomena in the history of English: the introduction of special reflexive pronouns (e.g. myself), the loss of verbal agreement and pro-drop, and the disappearance of morphological Case. It provides vast numbers of examples from Old and Middle English texts showing a person split between first, second, and third person pronouns. Extending an analysis by Reinhart & Reuland, the author argues that the ‘strength’ of certain pronominal features (Case, person, number) differs cross-linguistically and that parametric variation accounts for the changes in English. The framework used is Minimalist, and Interpretable and Uninterpretable features are seen as the key to explaining the change from a synthetic to an analytic language.

Download or read book The Oxford Gothic Grammar written by D. Gary Miller and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a comprehensive reference grammar of Gothic, the earliest attested language of the Germanic family (apart from runic inscriptions), dating to the fourth century. The bulk of the extant Gothic corpus is a translation of the Bible, of which only a portion remains, and which has been the focus of most previous works. This book is the first in English to also draw on the recently discovered Bologna fragment and Crimean graffiti, original Gothic texts that provide more insights into the language. Following an overview of the history of the Goths and the origin of the Gothic language, Gary Miller explores all the major topics in Gothic grammar, beginning with the alphabet and phonology, and proceeding through subjects such as case functions, prepositions and particles, compounding, derivation, and verbal and sentential syntax. He also presents a selection of Gothic texts with notes and vocabulary, and ends with a chapter on linearization, including an overview of Gothic in its Germanic context. The Oxford Gothic Grammar will be an invaluable reference for all Indo-Europeanists, Germanic scholars, and historical linguists, from advanced undergraduate level upwards.

Download or read book Syntax and Morphology of Yiddish Dialects written by Lea Schäfer and published by Georg Olms Verlag. This book was released on 2023 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Faschismus des 20. Jahrhunderts hat die jüdische Kultur in Europa in ihrer ursprünglichen Form und Verbreitung weitgehend zerstört. Die Überlebenden brachten ihre Kultur in neue Umgebungen, wo sie teilweise wiederbelebt wurde. Auch die Sprachen fielen dem zum Opfer oder wurden im Zuge der Assimilation und Akkulturation aufgegeben oder zumindest durch die verschiedenen neuen Kontaktsituationen stark beeinflusst. Als in den 1950er Jahren absehbar war, dass viele Überlebende, die in den alten europäischen Territorien aufgewachsen waren, ihre Muttersprache nicht an ihre Kinder und Enkel weitergeben würden, erkannte Uriel Weinreich die Notwendigkeit und Chance, Sprache und Kultur dieser Sprecher systematisch zu dokumentieren. Im Rahmen seines Projekts 'Language and Culture Archive of Ashkenazic Jewry' (LCAAJ) sammelten 18 Interviewer zwischen 1959 und 1972 auf der Grundlage eines umfangreichen Fragebogens Interviews mit fast 1.000 Informanten. Das im Rahmen des LCAAJ gesammelte Material ist ein unerschöpflicher Fundus und die beste Quelle, die wir zu den historischen jiddischen Dialekten Mitteleuropas haben. Mit der Veröffentlichung der digitalisierten Kopien der schriftlichen Aufzeichnungen (Feldnotizen) durch die Columbia Libraries im Jahr 2018 wurden die Rohdaten des LCAAJ der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht. Zwischen 2017 und 2022 hat das Projekt 'Syntax of Eastern Yiddish Dialects' (SEYD) diese Feldnotizen im Hinblick auf syntaktische und auch morphologische Strukturen ausgewertet. Der vorliegende Band präsentiert eine Auswahl dieser Phänomene. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf den empirischen Daten sowie deren Einbettung in einen (mikro)typologischen Kontext. Eine Vielzahl von Karten veranschaulicht die räumliche Dimension der grammatischen Variation in den ehemaligen europäischen jiddischen Dialekten.

Download or read book An Annotated Bibliography of North American Doctoral Dissertations on Old Norse Icelandic written by Kirsten Wolf and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kirsten Wolf's annotated bibliographical survey of doctoral dissertations written at North American institutions of higher learning, and treating topics pertaining to Old Norse-Icelandic language, literature, and culture, provides a new tool for basic research. It also offers insight into trends and tendencies in scholarship within the field of Old Norse-Icelandic in the United States and Canada from the last decades of the nineteenth century, when the first doctoral dissertations in the field appeared, to late 1995. Specifically, it demonstrates a gradual shift from studies in language and style, firmly rooted in Germanic philology, to anthropological studies and literary analyses of individual works or themes. Author, director, and institution indices appear at the end of the volume. To facilitate research, Wolf provides a subject index that includes not only titles of works and proper names but also concepts.
