Semantic micro-dynamics as a reflex of occurrence frequency
This article correlates fine-grained semantic variability and change with measures of occurrence frequency to investigate whether a word’s degree of semantic change is sensitive to how often it is used. We show that this sensitivity can be detected within a short time span (i.e., 20 years), basing our analysis on a large corpus of German allowing for a high temporal resolution (i.e., per month). We measure semantic variability and change with the…
Constructional competition and network reconfiguration
This article investigates some functions of the determinative sum(e) in Old, Middle and Early Modern English. It traces, quantifies and models the diachronic development of sum(e) as a pre-head element from a usage-based, cognitive Construction Grammar perspective by postulating several semi-specified but also abstract constructional OE and ME NP-schemas and sketching the observable (changing) network (re)configurations. By analyzing texts from t…

Trochaic bias overrides stress typicality in English lexical development
This paper investigates whether typical stress patterns in English nouns and verbs are available as a prosodic cue for categorisation and accelerated word learning during first language acquisition. The stress typicality hypothesis states that left-stressed nouns and right-stressed verbs should be acquired earlier than the reverse configurations if stress effectively signals lexical class membership. In this view, class-typical stress patterns ar…
Stress in real time
This contribution reviews a series of studies by Kelly (and Bock), suggesting that stress preferences of English nouns and verbs for left-hand and right-hand stress patterns are partly a result of alternating rhythm in real utterances. This claim is tested on diachronic corpus data to verify its historical implications. By using verse evidence to calibrate stress values for historical word classes, the quantitative analysis confirms that distribu…

Sovereignty and democracy, with a look at David Runciman’s How Democracy Ends
Thomas Hobbes in Leviathan mocks ancient democracy, which presented itself as a polity of free citizens: ‘[...] the Athenians were taught, (to keep them from desire of changing their Government,) tha
Bad Arguments
The article takes issue with W. G. Runciman's contention, in Great Books, Bad Arguments, that modern political development has moved beyond both theory and practice of governance by a sovereign power over subjects as expounded in Hobbes's Leviathan. Runciman's allegations that Hobbes overrates education, that he fails to recognise the potential for dissent and revolt in a polity under a sovereign, and that he ignores society's pre-political scope…

Canaanism
The article draws attention to Canaanism's topicality in the discussion of one-state and two-state solutions to the Israel/Palestine relationship. The first section surveys the Canaanite movement of the 1930s and 1940s. The second section assesses influences issuing from the movement, distinguishing dated tenets from those of current import. The third section explores the continuing effect of Canaanite impulses figuring as neo-Canaanite motives i…

What it Means to Belong
Poetry after Auschwitz – Adorno's Dictum
Referring to Adorno's ‘dictum’ is a diplomatic way of avoiding the discussion of what Adorno actually wrote. Two phrases, cut out from a compound sentence, are alternately, sometimes concurrently, put forward as his ‘dictum’: ‘To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric’; and: ‘It is impossible to write poetry after Auschwitz’. Out of context, both phrases, the latter one in particular, lose the problematic quality conferred on them by the argume…
