Atypical demonstratives have not received adequate attention in the
literature so far, or have even been completely neglected. By
providing fresh insights and discussing new facets, this volume
contributes to the better understanding of this group of words,
starting from specific empirical phenomena, and advances our
knowledge of the various properties of demonstratives, their
syntactic multi-functionality, semantic feature specifications and
pragmatic functions. In addition, some of the papers discuss
different grammaticalization processes involving demonstratives, in
particular how and from which lexical and morphosyntactic
categories they originate cross-linguistically, and which semantic
or pragmatic mechanisms play which role in their emergence. As
such, the different contributions guide the readers on an
adventurous journey into the realm of different exotic species of
demonstratives, whose peculiar properties offer new exiting
insights into the complex nature of demonstrative expressions
themselves.
Die Arbeit liefert ein systematisches Bild der Syntax der deutschen
Modalpartikeln. Nach einer detaillierten Beschreibung ihrer
syntaktischen Distribution in Bezug auf andere syntaktische
Konstituenten folgt eine genaue Untersuchung ihrer illokutiven
Funktionen. Dabei werden die Bedingungen fur ihre Lizenzierung in
Haupt- und Nebensatzen in Betracht gezogen. Als sprecherorientierte
Elemente setzen Modalpartikeln das Vorhandensein von illokutiver
Kraft in der Ausserung voraus, in der sie vorkommen. Ihr Auftreten
in bestimmten Typen von Nebensatzen wird daher als Beweis der "root
properties" dieser Satze erachtet."
