The Early New High German Dictionary is an alphabetically-ordered dictionary of the varieties of High German from the 14th to 17th century.

Historical studies on Old and Middle High German and the corresponding stages in the development of Low German represent a fairly well-defined field of inquiry. The period between the 16th century and the present, by contrast, confronts historical language research with a considerable dilemma in that the language system can be regarded in many respects as not having undergone major changes so much as a process of extension and differentiation. The papers delivered at the Heidelberg colloquium and published here in book form discuss possible areas of inquiry for historical language research into the evolution of the German language since the early Modern Age, approaches to the problems this field presents and methods of describing the phenomena encountered. Particular emphasis is placed throughout on the history of reflection on language, the institutional concern with language and the manifold interpenetration between forms of language usage employed in society in general, in the history of ideas, the history of literature and across the various cultural areas of the German-speaking world.

This book presents the historical lexicography of German, Dutch, and English with a focus on factors related to ideological history, professional lexicography, and cultural education. In the main part of the book, the author undertakes a professional treatment of the common types of lexicographic information, and alsogives a discussion ofsome rarely provided lexicographic information.

Als EinfA1/4hrung in die Textgeschichte des spAten Mittelalters und der frA1/4hen Neuzeit enthAlt dieses Lesebuch 86 kA1/4rzere, geschlossene Texte, die aus originalen Handschriften bzw. Drucken buchstabengenau ediert wurden. Sie entstammen allen Teilepochen des FrA1/4hneuhochdeutschen und allen TeilrAumen des hochdeutschen Sprachgebiets und umfassen auAer literarischen Texten auch Gebrauchstexte unterschiedlicher Provenienz.

The volume contains 20 articles by Vladimir Admoni (1909-1993) from the period up to and including 1975, hitherto only available in Russian. The selection represents an enlightening complement to the scholar's publications in German, notably for the light they shed on the gradual evolution of a holistic view of the specifics of German language structure, both from a historical and a present-day vantage. In so doing, they reveal both the originality of Admoni's approach and its roots in his profound reflection on universal issues connected with language theory and methodology.

Dictionaries contain a wealth of linguistic data which, given the customary alphabetical arrangement encountered in most cases, are neither readily accessible to the user nor susceptible to control by the lexicographer. The present volume sets out the most important types of covert lexicographic data, dicusses ways of improving access to them by means of philologically organised indexing systems, illustrates these possibilities with the help of copious examples and thus provides a key for the exploitation of covert lexicographic information both for language-historical research purposes and for the improvement of lexicographic practice.

The grammatography of historical stages of German and related languages was for a long time a central preserve of the series "Collection of Short Grammars of German Dialects." Progress in historical language description and the grammatical description of modern languages has led to a wave of revisions to existing historical grammars and also to a variety of new conceptions for them. The Heidelberg Conference from 28 January to 3 February 2001 discussed the effects of new linguistic insights on the practice of grammatical description. Major attention was given to such topics as the corpus problem, coverage of varieties, normalization, and the specific requirements of literary studies in connection with historical grammars.

This series of HANDBOOKS OF LINGUISTICS AND COMMUNICATION SCIENCE is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction. For "classic" linguistics there appears to be a need for a review of the state of the art which will provide a reference base for the rapid advances in research undertaken from a variety of theoretical standpoints, while in the more recent branches of communication science the handbooks will give researchers both an overview and orientation. To attain these objectives, the series aims for a standard comparable to that of the leading handbooks in other disciplines, and to this end strives for comprehensiveness, theoretical explicitness, reliable documentation of data and findings, and up-to-date methodology. The editors, both of the series and of the individual volumes, and the individual contributors, are committed to this aim. The language of publication is English. The main aim of the series is to provide an appropriate account of the state of the art in the various areas of linguistics and communication science covered by each of the various handbooks; however no inflexible pre-set limits will is imposed on the scope of each volume. The series is open-ended, and can thus take account of further developments in the field. This conception, coupled with the necessity of allowing adequate time for each volume to be prepared with the necessary care, means that there is no set time-table for the publication of the whole series. Each volume is a self-contained work, complete in itself. The order in which the handbooks are published does not imply any rank ordering, but is determined by the way in which the series is organized; the editors of the whole series enlist a competent editor for each individual volume. Once the principal editor for a volume has been found, he or she then has a completely free hand in the choice of co-editors and contributors. The editors plan each volume independently of the others, being governed only by general formal principles. The series editors only intervene where questions of delineation between individual volumes are concerned. It is felt that this (modus operandi) is best suited to achieving the objectives of the series, namely to give a competent account of the present state of knowledge and of the perception of the problems in the area covered by each volume.

Since about 4000 years ago, lexicography has been a component of all cultures in which script was known. The path of its development goes from word lists on clay tablets to computer stored data banks. In our day, lexicography has a scientific and a non-scientific form. The former form comprises works on various sources of information and reference that pursue various important purposes, such as: help in the acquisition of the mother tongue and of foreign languages; in various types of acquisition of scientific and technical knowledge; in translation; and in cultural exchange and in ideological developments, either within one`s own or in a foreign linguistic community. The social importance of lexicography is occasionally taken cognizance of even in international politics. The last two decades have witnessed an upsurge in interest in lexicography. On the one hand, international contacts are becoming more intimate in terms both of culture and economy; on the other hand and as far as scientific considerations go, the lexicon is being studied more within the framework of various theories, problems of the vocabulary are being studied within the area of foreign language teaching, and the application of the computer in lexicography and in other fields has brought new problems, together with many advantages. The increase in interest in the lexicon has been accompanied by the emergence of the study of dictionaries as a scientific discipline. This discipline studies the tools of reference as to their forms, structures, the way they are used, their history, and their criticism; ultimately, it is the study of those reference tools in relation to the culture in which they are embedded. The Encyclopedia deals with lexicography and with the study of dictionaries; its three volumes cover the whole area in a great wealth of detail but in a coherent way: authors have written 349 articles in English, French, and German. They are distributed in 38 chapters. The Encyclopedia pursues the following goals: to describe the lexicography of all the language families, with particular attention given to the European languages and their transplanted varieties, to develop a typology of the lexicographic reference books, above all the linguistic dictionaries, within the various cultures and societies, to provide the basis for the study of the lexicon within a general theory of lexicography in relation to the study of various functions of dictionaries in individual cultures and in relation to the theories of the lexicon in various linguistic schools of thought, to develop the methodology of lexicographic work in all its phases, beginning with the appointments of a lexicographic office and ending with the application of the computer, to pinpoint areas in greatest need of improvement both in the lexicographic practice of individual territories and in the theory of lexicography, to offer a rich bibliography both of dictionaries and of secondary literature, to foster the development of lexicography into a discipline that while pursuing practical goals will be suitable for being taught and learned in a scientific way.

The Early New High German Dictionary is an alphabetically-ordered sense dictionary of the varieties of High German from the 14th to 17th century. Its entries are arranged as follows: Each headword is followed by concise information on the inflectional morphology and (in the case of etymologically isolated words or words that are difficult to classify) brief references to the etymology. This is followed by the core of each entry, namely, the explanation of the various senses of a word, which have been numbered. References to time, region and text type provide important information about the dimensions in which each sense of a word was used. The cumulative naming of semantically-related words and typical syntagmatic contexts provide insight into the structural, lexical correlations. A detailed block of examples per sense demonstrates the word in its original usage.
