Originating from papers presented at an international colloquium,
the 18 articles in this volume reflect the different aspects of
modality: general, lexical, temporal and modal. There is no one
single definition or methodological approach to the study of
modality. This is borne out by the range of these articles, with
perspectives extending from different manifestation forms of
modality to its different implications or values (alethic, deontic,
epistemic, radical, etc.) and from modality in specific genres to
contrastive and historical perspectives on the phenomenon.
The Deonomasticon Italicum provides a systematic historical
treatment of, and commentary on, the lexemes of Italian derived
from proper names. It covers both derivations from geographical
names (including those from ethnic roots, which are of especial
interest both for the history of vocabulary and for cultural
history) and from the names of persons. The first part of the
Dictionary (4 volumes) is devoted to derivations from geographical
names, the second (2 volumes) to the names of persons. The
Deonomasticon Italicum will be published in complete volumes and no
longer in the form of single fascicles. Key features: Desiderat in
der Lexikographie des Italienischen Insgesamt 6 B nde (1 Band alle
3 Jahre) Breite Quellengrundlage auch zeitgen ssischer Texte

A concise but unusually comprehensive handbook for the student of old French, which assumes no knowledge of modern French.
Lexicology is about words, their meanings and the relationships
between them, their origins and their structure. It combines the
study of derivational morphology with lexical semantics. This
textbook explores the history, meanings and structure of words, the
way they are collected in dictionaries and the way they are stored
in our minds. It goes beyond examining the morphological structure
of words to examine the way words are spelt and the way they sound.
At every stage, the book focuses not only on description, but also
on the puzzles that words present. Supported by numerous examples,
exercises, discussion questions, suggestions for further reading
and a glossary, this is an accessible and lively guide to the
linguistic study of English through the consideration of words.
Dr Wright’s translation of Caspari’s Arabic Grammar first appeared in 1859. Since that time it has been thoroughly revised and enlarged, and has become the standard authority. Volume I contains sections on orthography and pronunciation, on the verb, the noun and adjective, on numerals, prepositions, adverbs and conjunctions. Volume II deals with syntax and prosody.
Proceeding from a reference-semantic approach, the study develops a
concept of deixis allowing a clear distinction between discourse
deixis and anaphora. Discourse deixis needs to be regarded as a
specific form of temporal deixis invariably containing a
metacommunicative element. The metacommunicative component in
discourse deixis is expressed above all by the verbs. Temporal
deictic reference is based on the interaction between lexical
aspect classes and other temporal expressions, not only deictic
ones such as tense, but also non-deictic features like grammatical
aspect and others - like adverbs - which can be both deictic and
non-deictic.
Causal clauses with because, since, as and for display differing
syntactic properties. The study demonstrates that these differences
correspond with certain meanings of reason and cause specified in
the course of the book. To this end the syntactic analyses are
supplemented by speech act-theoretical and language-analytic
studies; also, philosophical theories and models of the conceptual
field 'causality - explanation - substantiation' are drawn on. The
LOB corpus provides the material for examples and underlies the
text-typological inquiry into the occurrence of the causal clauses
in question.

Arc pair grammar is a new, extensively formalized, theory of the
grammatical structure of natural languages. As an outgrowth of
relational grammar, it constitutes a theoretical alternative to the
long-dominant generative transformational approach to linguistics.
In this work, David Johnson and Paul Postal offer the first
comprehensive presentation of this theoretical framework, which
provides entirely new notions of all the basic concepts of
grammatical theory: sentence, language, rule, and grammar.
