For several reasons, mostly inherent to the different developments
of generative grammar, an increasing number of publications have
dealt with reduplication in the past 20 years. Reduplication lends
itself perfectly as a test field for theories that opt for a
non-segmental organization of phonology and morphology. As it
happens frequently, then, the discussion centers around a rather
small set of data for which alternative analysis are offered, and
which themselves are intended to contribute to the foundation of
new theoretical developments. The present volume (which goes back
to a conference on reduplication at the University of Graz,
Austria) offers a broader approach to reduplication not only from
different theoretical viewpoints, but especially for its
phenomenology. Across theories a number of highly qualified authors
deal with formal and functional perspectives, with typological
properties, with semantics, comparative issues, the role of
reduplication in language acquisition, the acquisition of
reduplicative systems, sign languages, creoles and pidgins, general
grammatical and cognitive principles; the picture is completed by a
series of language or language-family specific studies as on
Uto-Aztecan, Salish, Tupi-Guarani, Moroccan and Cairene Arabic,
various African languages, Chinese, Turkish, Indo-European,
languages from India, etc. The overall scope of the conference was
to contribute to a new level of discussion of the phenomenon,
across theories and across specializations and interests. Update on

TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new
perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes
state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across
theoretical frameworks, as well as studies that provide new
insights by approaching language from an interdisciplinary
perspective. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for
cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in
its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards
linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as
well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for
a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the
ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes
monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes,
which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from
different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality
standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.
1912 sucht der junge sozialistische judische Wiener Dozent Leo
Spitzer (1887-1960) Kontakt zum alten charismatischen, aber
konservativen Professor Hugo Schuchardt (1842-1927), woraus sich
eine fur beide Beteiligten intensive Korrespondenz bis ins hohe
Alter des Letzteren ergibt. Obwohl Gegenbriefe Schuchardts nicht
erhalten sind, geben doch die hier veroeffentlichten nahezu 250
Schreiben Leo Spitzers ein auch stilistisch eindrucksvolles Zeugnis
von Welten, die aufeinander prallen, aber - nicht ohne Skepsis -
wieder zueinander finden. In ihnen offenbaren sich eine Welt und
ein akademisches Getriebe, in denen sich zunehmend Antisemitismus
breit macht, sowie der sprachforschende, kulturelle, politische und
menschliche Alltag. Kaum einer verstand es, bis ins hohe Alter
Besonderheiten und Alltaglichkeiten so sehr in seiner eigenen
wissenschaftlichen Forschung zu vermitteln wie Leo Spitzer.
