We are primarily focused on this particular linguistic area and invite contributions presenting and analyzing data from a West African language and comparative studies in West African language groups or in the area as a whole. We also welcome submissions dealing with languages from other linguistic areas from lingui

In our workshop, we aim to bridge the gap between grammatical theories and empirical research, addressing the need for exploring how theoretical grammar can be used to systematically classify and investigate indeterminacy (cf. Winkler 2015). The following research questions will be discussed in our workshop:
鈥� Which phenomena of indeterminacy (ambiguity, vagueness and polysemy) can be found in grammar? On which linguistic levels (word types, sentence structure, morphological s

Dieser Band zeigt spannende Fakten und Besonderheiten des Englischen auf. Auf unterhaltsame Art und Weise werden zahlreiche Ph盲nomene im linguistischen und allt盲glichen Kontext erl盲utert und mit anderen Sprachen, insbesondere dem Deutschen, verglichen. Das Buch wendet sich in erster Linie an Lehramtsstudierende, Referendar:innen und Lehrende der F盲cher Deutsch und Englisch.

Genetic and areal relations between Cushitic and Omotic languages are re-examined using the method of stepwise reconstruction. To this end, the list of about 180 most stable basic meanings is prepared. Proto-East and South Cushitic, Proto-North and South Omotic basic lexicons are reconstructed within this wordlist together with regular phonemic correspondences between daughter languages of these families. Main types of root structure in these proto-languages and patterns of their evolution in t
The past few decades have witnessed a veritable research boom in interlanguage, cross-cultural, and contrastive pragmatics, as well as in the area of (im)politeness, resulting in a widening perspective with regard to data types, objects of inquiry, and analytical methods. The present edition takes stock of recent developments in the field, as well as offering a selection of empirical papers that explore new research avenues, with a focus on different types of variation in English, on the use of
