The New Germany provides a picture of contemporary Germany from a
variety of perspectives, establishing relationships between recent
political events and society and cultural life. Contributors
include distinguished specialists in German Studies, including John
Sandford, Michael Patterson, Karl Koch and Charles Jeffery. Part 1
sets the scene, discussing the demise of East Germany from
historical perspective and unification in terms of the social
problems that have been provoked. Part 2 covers the new political
structure and Germany's role as a European power as well as the
social, educational and economic problems generated, especially in
the east, by the western takeover of the former GDR. Part 3 is an
extensive section devoted to culture and the arts, with studies of
the media, literature, theatre, film and language.
This volume collects leading-edge work on the semantics and
pragmatics of natural language, including contributions from Eve
Clark, Paul Kiparsky, Stanley Peters, Dag Westerstahl and Arnold M.
Zwicky. The research covers a number of languages - English,
Mandarin, Japanese, Korean and Quechua - and phenomena, including
adverbial modification, classifiers, constructional meaning,
control phenomena, evidentiality, events semantics, focus,
presupposition, and quantification. This is a valuable volume for
anyone interested in the latest developments in the study of
meaning.
