May 1975Roman Jakobsons phänomenologischer Strukturalismus
by Elmar Holenstein
Der Begriff des phänomenologischen Strukturalismus erscheint auf den ersten Blick als außerordentlich paradox, waren und sind es doch in erster Linie die existentialistisch orientierten Phänomenologen, die den Strukturalismus und seine angebliche Verleugnung des Subjekts bekämpfen, wie umgekehrt die Strukturalisten den Phänomenologen mit Ablehnung begegnen. Holenstein kann aber zeigen, daß im Werk des Linguisten Roman Jakobson beide Strömungen konvergieren, daß in ihm der bis heute die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung beherrschende Widerspruch von Diachronie und Synchronie, Geschichte und Struktur, Dynamik und Statik produktiv aufgehoben ist. Für Jakobsons Linguistik ist charakteristisch, daß in ihr alle Aspekte, Schichten, und Bezugspunkte der Sprache eine Behandlung finden, die ihre innere Autonomie und ihre Interdependenz, ihre strukturellen Beziehungen und ihren zeitlichen Ort gleichermaßen respektiert. Dies sichert ihr eine Bedeutung weit über die traditionellen Grenzen der Sprachwissenschaft hinaus. Holensteins souveräne Interpretation arbeitet denn auch den transdisziplinären Aspekt des Werks von Jakobson überaus plastisch und eindringlich heraus.

2020History of the German Language
A textbook for German studies; Part 1: Introduction, prehistory and history; Part 2: Old High German, Middle High German and Early New High German
by Wilhelm Schmidt, Edited by Dr. Elisabeth Berner and Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Dr. h.c. Norbert Richard Wolf
The 12th revised and updated version of the History of the German language – long regarded as an indispensable standard work for German Studies, has just been published. From now on, this comprehensive textbook on the history of the language is divided into two volumes. In addition to introducing questions about historical linguistics, the first volume provides a detailed account of the prehistory and history of German right up to the present day. Based on extensive source analyses, the focus is on aspects of culture and social history; only the chapters on the Indo-Germanic and Germanic language include key information about structural history. The second part contains concise, but readily understandable accounts of Old, Middle and Early New High German in terms of phonology, graphemics, morphology and syntax. Not only are synchronous descriptions given of the particular language period, but also the development of German language construction at all structural levels is explained. The association of grammatical synchrony and structural diachrony is a particular characteristic of this second part of Schmidt’s work on the history of language.

The Arapaho Language
by Andrew Cowell, Alonzo Moss Sr.
The Arapaho Language is the definitive reference grammar of an endangered Algonquian language. Arapaho differs strikingly from other Algonquian languages, making it particularly relevant to the study of historical linguistics and the evolution of grammar. Andrew Cowell and Alonzo Moss Sr. document Arapaho's interesting features, including a pitch-based accent system with no exact Algonquian parallels, radical innovations in the verb system, and complex contrasts between affirmative and non-affirmative statements.
