Verb-particle constructions are not only present in Germanic languages, but they are also found in Romance ones, particularly in some scarcely regulated varieties, such as old languages, dialects and substandard varieties. In this book a corpus of six hundreds of verbs+locative, taken from a Northern-Italian variety, is given and analyzed. The comparison with apparently analogous Germanic verb-particle constructions shows that the Romance ones are the result of an independent, gradual development, requiring ? in its final phase ? the expression of space (direction) and aspect (result) markers in the verb inflection.

Members and descendants of the Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota Oyate, a division of the Great Sioux Nation, live east of the Missouri River, mostly in North and South Dakota, and speak the Dakota dialect. As the population of native speakers ages, younger generations breathe new life into study of the language. In college courses, community education classes, and study teams, learners of all ages practice speaking and writing at the same time that they come to understand the storied history of this significant Native American group.

A Student Grammar of Spanish, first published in 2006, is a concise introduction to Spanish grammar, designed for English-speaking undergraduates. Assuming no prior knowledge of grammatical terminology, it explains each aspect of Spanish grammar in clear and simple terms, provides a wealth of glossed examples to illustrate them, and helps students to put their learning into practice through a range of fun and engaging exercises. Clearly organized into thirty units, each covering a different aspect of the grammar, the book functions both as an essential reference guide and a comprehensive workbook. Individual topics can be looked up via a user-friendly cross-referencing system, and concise definitions are provided in a useful glossary of grammatical terms. The exercises, which include paired and group activities, are suitable for both classroom use and self-study. Each unit is split into two levels, basic and intermediate, making this grammar the perfect accompaniment to any first or second year undergraduate course.

Through the analysis of individual love poems and groups of poems as well as through the representation of thematic and compositional connections of the love theme with other cardinal themes, this work opens up a new perspective on Horace's first collection of odes. Love becomes identifiable as the center of poetry, its poetic functionalization leads to a reassessment of the relationship between Horace and Augustus. Manifold evidence of relationships between individual poems allows new insight into the homogeneous structure of the collection as a whole."

Der Wert von grammatischem Wissen und Grammatikunterricht fur die Ausbildung sprachlicher Fahigkeiten ist umstritten. Das ist mit gutem Grund so und droht doch gleichzeitig die reflexive Komponente erstsprachlicher Bildung zu entwerten. Die Studie zeigt anhand vorliegender empirischer Untersuchungen, dass grammatisches Wissen nicht mit expliziten schulgrammatischen Kenntnissen gleichgesetzt werden darf. Soweit in diesem Wissen wirklich Sprachliches in das Blickfeld kommt, liegt ihm spezifisch syntaktische Information zugrunde, die ohne Beteiligung grammatischer Analysen gewonnen wurde. Es wird ein empirisches Verfahren entwickelt, welches darauf abzielt, das Vorliegen solcher Information unmittelbar, also ohne Verwendung schulgrammatischer Termini, zu erfassen. Auf seiner Grundlage werden Daten in Haupt- und Realschulklassen der Jahrgangsstufen 5-7 erhoben. Die Ergebnisse sprechen dafur, dass syntaktische Information fast ubiquitar zuganglich ist, dass ein Umgang mit ihr, der sie zuverlassig verfugbar werden lasst, aber gleichwohl erlernt werden muss. Hier liegt der Punkt, in dem sich erfolgreiche und weniger erfolgreiche Lerner unterscheiden. Die Befunde werden in einem Datenmodell interpretiert, das auf der Annahme beruht, dass das Entstehen spezifisch syntaktischer Information Ergebnis einer Art von Resonanz rezenter sprachlicher Muster ist. Fur den muttersprachlichen Grammatikunterricht ergibt sich, dass seine indirekten Einflusse auf sprachliches Lernen moeglicherweise groesser sind als die direkten. Ein methodischer Neuansatz koennte darin liegen, mit grammatischen Problemen und sprachlichen Intuitionen unmittelbar, ohne Umweg uber schulgrammatische Klassifikationen, zu arbeiten.
