Sprachatlas der Zaza-Sprache : Lautgeographie des Zazaki /
:
Das Werk enthält einen Sprachatlas des Zazaki, einer nordwestiranischen Sprache. Die Arbeit dokumentiert die sprachgeographischen Verhältnisse einer bislang wenig erforschten Region. Grundlage bilden eigene Erhebungen mit einem Fragebuch in 65 Orten über das ganze Gebiet verteilt. Dieses Fragebuch orientiert sich an den vorwiegend bäuerlichen Verhältnissen einer Kultur, die bald verschwunden sein wird. Das Zazaki wird nach dem Vorbild von Sprachatlanten europäischer Sprachen flächendeckend dokumentiert und in 280 Karten dargestellt. Die fassen 850 Einzelkarten zusammen. Die Arbeit besteht aus zwei Teilen: einem Theorieteil mit Einleitung und Kartenkommentaren sowie einem Kartenteil. Die ersten beiden Bände bieten einen Einblick in das Material. Es handelt sich um die erste systematische Grundlagenforschung zur Sprachgeographie des Zazaki. Die Arbeit setzt neue Maßstäbe in der Iranistik. Die ersten beiden Bände behandeln die Phonologie. Weitere sechs Bände werden folgen. This work presents a linguistic atlas of Zazaki, a northwestern Iranian language. It documents the linguistic geography of a region that has so far been little studied. The research is based on original fieldwork conducted with a questionnaire in 65 locations across the entire area. This questionnaire is oriented towards the predominantly rural conditions of a culture that is on the verge of disappearing. Zazaki is comprehensively documented following the model of linguistic atlases of European languages and is presented in 280 maps, which summarize 850 individual maps. The work is divided into two parts: a theoretical section with an introduction and map commentaries, and a map section. The first two volumes provide insight into the material. This is the first systematic foundational research on the linguistic geography of Zazaki. The study sets new standards in Iranian studies. The first two volumes focus on phonology. Six additional volumes will follow.

The Life Cycles of Counterfactuals in the History of Greek : Aspect, Modality and Typology /
:
We constantly refer to counterfactual events-things that didn't happen but could have-through conditional, wish, and modal constructions. Yet, despite their ubiquity, we still know surprisingly little about how these constructions have evolved across languages and through history. This book breaks new ground by tracing, for the first time, the development of counterfactual systems across different constructions, texts, linguistic registers, and historical stages. Drawing on extensive corpus data from Indo-European languages and nearly three millennia of Greek, it offers the first unified account of counterfactual and avertive constructions as core expressions of non-realization. In doing so, it also proposes a revised model of the counterfactual life cycle-one that integrates semantic, morphosyntactic, and pragmatic dimensions-providing typologists with a powerful framework for exploring how counterfactual expressions evolve across languages.

The Syntax and Semantics of Wh-Clauses in Classical Greek : Relatives, Interrogatives, Exclamatives /
:
Adapting tools recently developed in general linguistics and dwelling on a solid corpus study, this book offers the first comprehensive view on Classical Greek wh -clauses since Monteil (1963) and scrutinizes how wh -items (ὅς, ὅστις, τίς) distribute across the different clause types. False ideas are discarded (e.g., there are no τίς relative clauses, ὅστις does not take over ὅς' functions). This essay furthermore teases apart actual neutralization and so-far-unknown subtle distinctions. Who knew that ὅστις is featured in three different types of appositive clauses? In the interrogative domain, an analysis is given of what licenses ὅς to pop in and τίς to pop out. Tackling these topics and more, this essay draws a coherent picture of the wh -clause system, whose basis is the notion of (non)identification.
