Etymologische Untersuchungen zu den tocharischen Adjektiven : Band II /
:
Wo kommt B-tocharisch ātstse ,dicht' oder A-tocharisch märtār ,kurz' her? Hier finden Sie die Antwort auf diese und viele andere strittige Fragen zur sprachlichen Vorgeschichte des Tocharischen. Dieses Buch bietet eine äußerst ausführliche etymologische Analyse von 210 synchron undurchsichtigen tocharischen Adjektiven und liefert viele neue und originelle Erklärungen für mehrere bisher obskure tocharische Wörter. Die vorgeschlagenen Etymologien geben uns neue Einblicke in die tocharische Phonologie und Morphologie und ermöglichen uns, die phylogenetische Beziehung zwischen dem Tocharischen und den anderen indogermanischen Sprachzweigen besser zu verstehen. Zugleich leistet dieses Buch einen wichtigen Beitrag zu einer verbesserten Rekonstruktion des Urindogermanischen. Where does Tocharian B ātstse 'dense' or Tocharian A märtār 'short' come from? Here, you will find the answer to this question and to many other debated issues concerning the linguistic prehistory of Tocharian. This book offers an extremely detailed etymological analysis of 210 synchronically opaque Tocharian adjectives and provides plenty of novel and original explanations for several so far obscure Tocharian words. The proposed etymologies give us new insights into Tocharian phonology and morphology and help us better understand the phylogenetic relationship between Tocharian and the other Indo-European branches. At the same time, this book makes a significant contribution to an improved and up-to-date reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European.

The Germanic 'Auslautgesetze' /
:
The overall interpretation of Old Germanic phonology and morphology has much to gain from the recent and revolutionary views that were developed in its 'mother' discipline, Indo-European linguistics. For the first time, the Germanic Auslaut problem, i.e. the interpretation of the historical development of final syllables between Proto-Indo-European and Germanic, is analyzed against the background of the modern reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European. This especially entails new interpretations of various detail problems in the field of nominal and verbal morphology. Moreover, the traditional assumption of contrasting intonations yielding different inflexional endings (e.g. circumflex *-õm > Goth ??o?? , OHG -o in the _-stem genitive plural, but acute *-_m > Goth -a , OHG -a in the _-stem accusative singular) must be replaced by a theory that is in accordance with our present-day knowledge of Proto-Indo-European as a language that most probably did not display such contrasts. It is above all the interpretation of long vowels and diphthongs in Old Germanic final syllables that has given rise to a long discussion. After the standard theory, which entered most handbooks of Old Germanic linguistics, was established, it was proven to be unlikely by new investigations. Especially Lane, in his epoch-making article (JEGP 62, 1963: 155 ff), renewed the discussion and drew interesting conclusions. Studies by Antonsen, Beck, Kortlandt, Voyles and others (sometimes dealing with other subjects than Germanic Auslaut proper) also provide materials for a new theory. With respect to this 'long vowel problem', older theories (including the standard view) and modern ideas are discussed before a new interpretation is proposed. The evidence is discussed in the form of a historical overview of the nominal and verbal morphology of the Old Germanic dialects. This part of the book can therefore also be used as a reference guide in the field of historical morphology. This approach is adopted from a recent key-study in the field of Auslaut , viz. Jones' dissertation (1979, Chapell Hill). The growing interest in the relative chronology of Lautgesetze , - which was, for example, the theme of the Leiden Fachtagung der Indogermanischen Gesellschaft of 1986 -, is met with where a chronological order of the Auslautgesetze of the separate dialects is proposed. This part of the book may serve as a stimulus for the necessary discussion of the subject. See Less

Contrastive Grammar in Use : Quantitative Perspectives on the Verb Phrase in English and German /
:
If there is one speculation about English and German that has pervaded scholarly work within contrastive linguistics as well as language teaching and translation handbooks for decades, it is probably the assumption of a more "verbal style" in English compared to German. Settling this question once and for all, the present book provides a comprehensive comparison of verbal style in English and German that pays due attention to language-internal variation by mode and register at the same time.

Morphological and syntactical irregularities in the Book of Revelation : a Greek hypothesis /
:
Morphological and Syntactical Irregularities in the Book of Revelation by Laurențiu Florentin Moț is an approach to the solecisms of Johannine Apocalypse from a Greek perspective. The work aims at demonstrating that, in accord with Second Language Acquisition studies, Semitic transfer in Revelation is extremely rare. Most of its linguistic peculiarities can be explained within the context of the Greek language. Morphological and Syntactical Irregularities in the Book of Revelation is unique in several ways. First, it deals with the most comprehensive list of solecisms. Second, it treats grammatical irregularities in their own right, looking at their cause, explanation, and contribution to the interpretation of the text. Third, it is interdisciplinary, bringing together textual criticism, Greek linguistics, and NT exegesis.
