Morphologie /Morphology

Geert E. Boij, Christian Lehmann, Joachim Mugdan e Stavros Skopeteas
Morphology is the study of linguistic forms, more precisely, of the inflected forms and stems of words. Consequently it is that part of grammar whose rules refer to units of no larger than a single word. At the same time, it is also a part of the lexicon to the extent that complex stems are not formed regularly. The handbook informs the reader equally on fundamental concepts and theoretical approaches of the discipline and on morphological structures of diverse languages.

Narrative as Social Practice

Danièle M. Klapproth
Narrative as Social Practice sets out to explore the complex and fascinating interrelatedness of narrative and culture. It does so by contrasting the oral story-telling traditions of two widely divergent cultures' Anglo-Western culture and the Central Australian culture of the Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara Aborigines. Combining discourse-analytical and pragmalinguistic methodologies with the perspectives of ethnopoetics and the ethnography of communication, this book presents a highly original and engaging study of story-telling as a vital communicative activity at the heart of socio-cultural life.

PerspektivitÄt und Sprache

Wilhelm Köller
Die Untersuchung zeigt auf, warum das Perspektivitätsphänomen ein unaufhebbares Urphänomen ist, das auf apriorische Weise alle menschlichen Sinnbildungsanstrengungen strukturiert. Der Perspektivitätsbegriff wird dabei so bestimmt, dass mit ihm alle Faktoren erfasst werden können, die Einfluss darauf nehmen, dass wir Sachverhalte nie objektiv und in ihrer Gänze, sondern immer nur perspektivisch von einer bestimmten Position aus und hinsichtlich bestimmter Aspekte wahrnehmen.
