Postposiciones en cabécar
Cabécar (Chibchan, Costa Rica) es rígidamente una lengua de ramificación a la izquierda en los niveles sintácticos inferiores, incluyendo postposiciones en lugar de preposiciones. Todas las funciones de una FN, excepto el absolutivo, están marcadas por una postposición. Mientras que las postposiciones gramaticales no son analizables, las más concretas, que se unen a participantes periféricos, adverbiales locales, temporales y de modo, pueden ser …
A terminology for downcycling
The term downcycling is often used anecdotally to describe imperfections in recycling. However, it is rarely defined. Here, we identify six meanings of the term downcycling as used in scientific articles and reports. These encompass the material quality of reprocessed materials, target applications, product value, alloying element losses, material systems, and additional primary production. In a proposal for harmonized and more specific terminolo…
Uma análise de referencialidade baseada em corpus no Mapudungun: Relatório Preliminar
This report presents the methodological guidelines as well as some partial results of the study of referentiality in Mapudungun, a language isolate spoken in Chile and Argentina with different degrees of vitality. Reference in discourse encompasses two basic operations: the individuation of the referents and their anchorage in the discourse. Our research is part of a wider project which seeks to identify the structural resources used by the langu…
The Cabecar Relative Clause
The Cabecar relative clause is a circumnominal relative clause without any marking of subordination, attribution, or head selection. It is recognizable as such by structural criteria only if its syntactic function in the matrix is signaled grammatically, and otherwise only by semantic and prosodic criteria. Eligibility of an internal nominal expression as semantic head of the relative construction follows a complex decision hierarchy of semantic …
Univerbation
Univerbation is the syntagmatic condensation of a sequence of words recurrent in discourse into one word, as when the Spanish combination a tras (to back) becomes atrás ‘behind’. It affects both lexemes and grammatical formatives. Unlike processes of word formation, including conversion of a syntactic construction into a word, as in forget-me-not , and compounding, as in Spanish lavaplatos ‘dishwasher’, univerbation is a spontaneous process. Ther…
Thoughts on grammaticalization
The history of research in grammaticalizationAs far as I can see, it was Antoine Meillet (1912) who coined the term "grammaticalization" and first applied it to the concept for which it is still used today.We will return to him in a moment.The concept itself, however, and the ideas behind it, are considerably older.The idea that grammatical formatives evolve from lexemes, that affixes come from free forms, was already expounded by the French phil…
Art as behaviour - an ethological approach to visual and verbal art, music and architecture
In recent years, the fine arts, architecture, music and literature have increasingly been examined from the vantage point of human ethology and evolutionary psychology. In 2011 the authors formed the research group 'Ethology of the Arts' concentrating on the evolution and biology of perception and behaviour. These novel approaches aim at a better understanding of the various facets represented by the arts by taking into focus possible phylogeneti…
Converse categorization strategies
The categorization alluded to in the title is the assignment of a class of concepts to a lexeme class and/or a syntactic category. The purpose of the paper is to establish converseness of strategies of categorization among languages as a typological concept. It is argued that, quite in general, coding strategies in a given functional domain may be oriented in opposite directions across languages. Particular attention will be paid to the relations…
Towards an ethology of song: A categorization of musical behaviour
This paper deals with the differentiation and adaptive significance of musical, particularly singing behaviour. We discuss the relationship of speech and song and define song as a musical mode of speech. We argue for a focus on singing as the primary form of musical expression and discuss universal functions of singing as a mode of human communication and their possible adaptive significance. Starting from these universal capacities, from a numbe…
Der Singstreit in humanethologischer Perspektive
Der Singstreit in humanethologischer Perspektive Traditionen gesungener Wortgefechte sind von zahlreichen voneinander unabhängigen Kulturen in der ganzen Welt bekannt. Ethnographische Quellen über mehr als 20 Singstreit-Traditionen, unter anderem auch moderne subkulturelle Phänomene, wurden auf Form und Funktion der Praktiken untersucht. Die beobachteten Singstreite weisen eine Reihe gemeinsamer Merkmale auf: Eine große Mehrheit der Praktiken wer…
Roots, stems and word classes
The assignment of a linguistic sign to a word class is an operation that must be seen as part of the overall transformation of extralinguistic substance into linguistic form. In this, it is comparable to such processes as the transitivization of a verbal base, which further specifies a relatively rough categorization. Languages differ both in the extent to which they structure the material by purely grammatical criteria and in the level at which …
Les rôles sémantiques comme prédicats
Cet article se donne pour objectif de contribuer a l'explicitation de la notion de role semantique. Comme il est bien connu, les relateurs casuels peuvent naitre par la grammaticalisation de coverbes. Ces constructions nous font entendre mieux les procedes semantiques. On distinguera deux niveaux de roles semantiques: • celui des classes de situations et de predicats qui leur correspondent - comme mouvement, transmission, communication etc. -, da…
On the value of a language
We live in an age where the extinction of languages has become a topic of discussion in many different circles. Opinions on whether the process should be stopped or considered profitable differ widely even in the field of linguistics, let alone in the public domain. A rational attitude presupposes the recognition that a language may constitute a value for some and that value judgements are controlled by more or less outspoken and divergent intere…
Morphology / Morphologie: Ein Internationales Handbuch Zur Flexion Und Wortbildung/an International Handbook on Inflection and Word-Formation (Handbooks of Linguistics and Communication Science)
Theory and method in grammaticalization [Theorie und Methode in der Grammatikalisierung]
This paper reviews a couple of theoretical and methodological issues in grammaticalization research, including in particular the relationship of grammaticalization to the synchrony/diachrony contrast, unidirectionality and degrammaticalization, lexicalization, analogy, reanalysis and lateral conversion. There are misunderstandings, both in the grammaticalization and in the anti-grammaticalization literature, of each of these issues. Grammaticaliz…
Data in linguistics
This article aims to be a contribution to the methodological foundations of linguistics. To answer the question of “what are scientific data?”, a semiotic conception of data is proposed according to which they are representations of properties of the object area of a science that serve certain purposes for their users. Kinds of data are distinguished by their ontological status, degree of abstractness, the type of sign representing them and their…
Morphologie: Ein internationales Handbuch zur Flexion und Wortbildung
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 at most word level. 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 di…
