The role of meaning in the rivalry of -ity and -ness: Evidence from distributional semantics
Both -ity and -ness are frequent and productive suffixes in English that fulfill the same core function: turning adjectives into nouns that denote the state or quality of whatever the adjective denotes. This well-known affix rivalry raises two core questions: 1. What determines the choice between -ity and -ness for a given base word? 2. Are the two affixes synonymous? For the first question, previous work has focused on morphological and phonolog…
From quick to quick-to - infinitival: On what is lexeme specific across paradigmatic and syntagmatic distributions
Adjectives are paradigmatically versatile: they combine with many different items in the same syntactic configuration. They are also syntagmatically versatile: they occur in many different syntactic configurations. Given this versatility, how and to what extent can lexeme-specific preferences and features of the adjectives be identified? With the adjective quick as its starting point, this article answers this question by using corpus data, contr…
Rhythmos: Formen des Unbeständigen nach Hölderlin
Rhythmus ist die Form dessen, was unbeständig, vielfältig, mannigfaltig ist. Beiträge von Samuel Weber, Ulrike Haß, Esa Kirkkopleto und anderen untersuchen die ästhetische und politische Dimension von Rhythmus in Theater, Literatur, Musik und Film. Émile Benveniste nennt den Rhythmus »die improvisierte, momentane und veränderliche Form«. Rhythmus entsteht durch Unterbrechungen, durch Abstände und Differenzen; erst als Rhythmus kann ein gemeinsame…
Das Theater der Erziehung: Goethes »pädagogische Provinz« und die Vorgeschichten der Theatralisierung von Bildung
Diese Analyse der in Goethes »Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre« aufgerufenen Pädagogikdiskurse zeigt, wie hier bereits Probleme der Theatralisierung von Bildung des frühen 21. Jahrhunderts verhandelt werden.
Ein ‚günstiger Ausgang‘ von König Lear
It is well known that in Stifter’s Der Nachsommer the protagonist’s education, the formation of a secluded inter-generational community, and the poetic speech of the novel itself all are to attenuate the human passions, which are conceived as dangerous and destructive. However, the depiction of the protagonist’s visit to a King Lear theater production demonstrates the extent to which the non-educational and non-formational dimensions of the passi…
Modelling semantic transparency
We present models of semantic transparency in which the perceived transparency of English noun–noun compounds, and of their constituent words, is predicted on the basis of the expectedness of their semantic structure. We show that such compounds are perceived as more transparent when the first noun is more frequent, hence more expected, in the language generally; when the compound semantic relation is more frequent, hence more expected, in associ…

Positions and Interpretations: German Adverbial Adjectives at the Syntax-Semantics Interface
The structural and semantic properties of adverbials represent a still poorly understood area of sentential syntax and semantics in Germanic languages. The volume gives a detailed overview of the system of adverbial adjectives in German, linking the different types of adverbial usages to different syntactic positions and providing formal derivations for the different usages. The book is of interest not only to anyone working on the linguistics of…
Event Structures in Linguistic Form and Interpretation
This volume addresses the problem of how language expresses conceptual information on event structures and how such information can be reconstructed in the interpretation process. The papers present important new insights into recent semantic and syntactic research on the topic. The volume deals with the following problems in detail: event structure and syntactic construction, event structure and modification, event structure and plurality, event…
Fantasy Realism: Rainald Goetz, Jeff Koons, and the Ethics of Pop Art
ainald Goetz’s writing seems obsessed with the names of VIPs: time and again, Goetz’s texts employ the names and activities of contemporary real-life persons, be they German or international, academic or yellow-press celebrities, or simply members of the “in“ crowd with whom the real-life person Rainald Goetz is said to hang out. Even the first-person narrator of Goetz’s prose usually goes by the name of Rainald. At one point, Rainald is reproach…

Wider den 'Anlas' der Gewalt: Darstellbarbarkeit in Jahnns Flus ohne Ufer
"Die oft sonderbare Form meiner Werke ist nicht das Produkt pfiffiger Überlegung wie bei Thomas Mann, sondern ein Teil des Wachstums meiner Gedanken", heißt es in einer bekannten Selbststilisierung Hans Henny Jahnns bezüglich der Abfassung von Fluß ohne Ufer. Demnach habe er als Autor dem noch zu Schreibenden gegenüber "mit unerbittlicher Konsequenz" eine Haltung völliger "Ahnungslosigkeit" (FoU 3, 767)1 angenommen. Aus dieser hätte sich dann, eh…
