The Yearbook of Morphology 2001 focuses on the notion of productivity, the role of analogy in coining new words, and constraints on affix ordering in a number of Germanic languages are investigated. Other topics include the necessity and the role of the paradigm in morphological analyses, the relation between form and meaning in morphology, the accessibility of the internal morphological structure of complex words, and the interaction of morphology and prosody in truncation processes.

The collection of articles presented in this volume addresses a number of general theoretical, methodological and empirical issues in the field of Historical Linguistics, in different levels of analysis and on different themes: (i) phonology, (ii) morphology, (iii) morphosyntax, (iv) syntax, (v) diachronic typology, (vi) semantics and pragmatics, and (vii) language contact, variation and diffusion. The topics discussed, often in a comparative perspective, feature a variety of languages and language families and cover a wide range of research areas. Novel analyses and often new diachronic data — also from less known and under-investigated languages — are provided to the debate on the principles, mechanisms, paths and models of language change, as well as the relationship between synchronic variation and diachrony. The volume is of interest to scholars of different persuasions working on all aspects of language change.

Diese Arbeit fokussiert die nominale Flexionsmorphologie der ostoberdeutschen Dialekte in ihrer Systematik. Dialekte sind insbesondere für Fragen zum morphologischen Wandel relevant, da sie im Vergleich zum Standard gesprochensprachlichen Wandel besser repräsentieren. Gleichzeitig weisen Dialekte spezifischen Wandel in Phonologie und an der Schnittstelle von Phonologie und Morphologie auf. Die kontrastive Studie dialektaler Flexionsverfahren unter varianten phonologischen Voraussetzungen kann hier zeigen, wo die formale Varianz phonologisch bedingt ist, wo sie das Ergebnis genuin morphologischer Prozesse ist und wo beide Ebenen interagieren. Damit verbindet die Studie die synchrone, diachrone und areale Perspektive.Mit dem Ziel, die Spezifika und Gemeinsamkeiten der nominalen Numerus- und Kasusflexion für die drei Teilräume des Ostoberdeutschen (Ostfränkisch, Nord- und Mittelbairisch) in ihrer Systematik kontrastiv darzustellen, wurde für 37 Ortsdialekte und die syntaktische Einheit aus Definitartikel und Substantiv Datenmaterial des Forschungsprojekts Bayerischer Sprachatlas ausgewertet. Der erste Teil der Datenauswertung fokussiert die Formenbildung des Substantivs, wobei das Ziel der Untersuchung nicht nur in einer Inventarisierung der einzelnen (evtl. dialektraumspezifischen) Markierungsstrategien für Numerus und Kasus besteht, sondern in der Erfassung des Systems. Im Zentrum des zweiten Teils stehen die Struktur der dialektalen Deklinationsklassensysteme und die Frage, inwiefern Deklinationsklassen diachron und synchron zu außerflexivischer Konditionierung tendieren (z.B. durch semantische oder phonotaktisch-prosodische Faktoren). Der dritte Teil der Datenauswertung behandelt schließlich den morphosyntaktischen Kontext und die Frage, wo Numerus und Kasus in der Nominalphrase markiert werden und inwiefern die Markierung durch morphologische oder syntaktische Mittel oder durch Disambiguierung im semantisch-pragmatischen Kontext erfolgt. Abschließend erfolgt eine Diskussion der Ergebnisse vor dem Hintergrund von Grammatikmodellen, die morphologischen Wandel, Sprachgebrauch und Kognition fokussieren. This book comprises a systematic analysis of the nominal inflectional systems of 37 local dialects of the East Upper German variety (i.e., East Franconian, North and Central Bavarian), analyzing data drawn from the research project Bavarian Linguistic Atlas (Bayerischer Sprachatlas). The surveyed dialects show a wide spectrum of variation with regard to dialect-specific phonological change and subsequently exhibit variation at the interface of phonology and morphology, making a contrastive study of dialect morphology worthwhile. The first part of the data analysis focuses on number and case marking strategies, surveying the local dialects’ allomorphs from a synchronic and diachronic perspective. The second part addresses the structure of dialect declension classes, specifically focusing on superior assignment principles. In a third step, noun phrases are included into the analysis, widening the focus to the more general question of whether the coding of plural (or case) information is necessarily attributed to inflectional morphology, or whether plural (or case) coding has to be located at the interface between morphology, syntax and context. Finally, the data analysis is followed by a discussion, covering theoretical (namely usage-based) approaches on morphological change

The Routledge Introduction to Italian Linguistics offers a systematic and comprehensive overview of the linguistic structure of the Italian language, including phonetics and phonology, morphology and morphosyntax, syntax, semantics, and sociolinguistics. The manual includes a historical sketch of the Italian language, which outlines the central phases of its emergence and process of standardization. Written in clear, concise language and taking a descriptive, theory-neutral approach, this is the ideal companion for advanced students of the Italian language and those studying Italian and Romance linguistics. After sketching the most important phases of the process of standardization of Italian and introducing the main varieties of Italian as classified from a social and geographical perspective, this introductory text addresses the core topics of Italian linguistics as pertaining to the sound system and word and sentence structure. The text adopts a descriptive approach and requires no previous knowledge of linguistics since technical terms are carefully explained and illustrated by numerous examples. Thus, it can serve as a reference tool for instructors of Italian and anyone interested in advancing their knowledge of the Italian language or familiarizing themselves with Italian linguistics.

This book deals with the interplay between word-formation and metonymy. It shows that, like metaphor, metonymy interacts in important ways with morphological structure, but also warns us against a virtually unconstrained conception of metonymy. The central claim here is that word-formation and metonymy are distinct linguistic components that complement and mutually constrain each other. Using linguistic data from a variety of languages, the book provides ample empirical support for its thesis. It is much more than a systematic study of two neglected linguistic phenomena, for a long time thought to be unimportant by linguists. Through exposing and explaining the intricate interaction between metonymy and word formation from a cognitive linguistic perspective, the reader is presented with a sense of the amazing complexity of the development of linguistic systems. This book will be essential reading for scholars and advanced students interested in the role of figuration in grammar.
