This book is the first cross-linguistic study of clausal negation based on an extensive and systematic language sample. It examines the ways in which negation is expressed in the languages of the world from a new perspective and proposes a typological classification based on the structural differences between affirmative and negative clauses, the main types being symmetric and asymmetric negation. Cross-linguistic frequencies and correlations are also examined. It is argued that functional motivations of the different types of negation can be found in the functional differences between affirmation and negation. The book is of interest to language typologists, descriptive linguists and to all linguists interested in negation. Product details Format Mixed media product | 490 pag...

The German contribution to the English vocabulary is more significant than has often been assumed and is characterised by a large proportion of technical and scientific terms. This study outlines the history of linguistic borrowing from German from the 16th century to the present day. It then examines the assimilation of the Germanisms in terms of their phonetic/graphemic, morphological and semantic integration. The stylistic effects achieved by the use of Germanisms are explored, and an attempt is made to assess the quantitative and qualitative impact of German on the English language. A final chapter by J rgen Eichhoff describes the special circumstances affecting German influences on American English. Product details Format Book | 200 pages ...
