Selected Writings of Irmengard Rauch represents that portion of
Irmengard Rauch's articles which center on contemporary and
historical Germanic linguistic phenomena. They thus speak to the
principal North, East, and West Germanic dialects. Her authored
books The Old High German Diphthongization: A Description of a
Phonemic Change (1967); The Old Saxon Language: Grammar, Epic
Narrative, Linguistic Interference (1992); Semiotic Insights: The
Data Do the Talking (1998); The Gothic Language: Grammar, Genetic
Provenance and Typology, Readings (2003, 2011); The
Phonology/Paraphonology Interface and the Sounds of German Across
Time (2008) stand on their own. Her contributions to linguistic
fieldwork are documented in BAG-Bay Area German Linguistic
Fieldwork Project (2015). Rauch's writings spanning half a century,
from the early sixties to the present, encompass an array of
subjects from the state of the art, to multiple language
components, that is, segmental and prosodic phonological,
morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic topics informing
Germanic languages, as well as to literature and to nonverbal
communication. Linguistic and interdisciplinary methods imbue all
of her writings. At the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where
Generative Grammar made early inroads, she was trained as an
American structuralist, reaping the benefits of the functionalist
Prague School, preceded by Saussure, the Neogrammarians, Darwin,
Rask, Grimm (all 19th-century instigators of linguistics as a
science), and of the founding of the LSA. Since the early seventies
she opened her methods of analysis to the semiotic approach of
Locke, Saussure, and Peirce. Consequently, Rauch's writings exploit
the combined approaches of linguistics and semiotics. These are the
inextricable work-horses, which in combination, enhance her
arguments detailing given linguistic problems that define the field
of General and Germanic Linguistics and thus feed the
multi-disciplinary research interests of both seasoned researchers
and neophytes.
