Until now, research on the pragmatics-syntax interface of discourse, on the one hand, and on clausal complementation, on the other, have been developing rather independently. This workshop aims at bringing these two strands together, with a focus on delimitation problems between asyndetic
At least since Keenan (1976), prototypical subjects have been defined in terms of coding and behavioral properties, such as case marking, clause-initial position, subject-verb inversion, conjunction reduction, raising, and control. These diagnostics have been successfully applied to several languages and have thus led to the discovery of non-canonically case-marked subjects in Icelandic (Andrews 1976, Thr谩insson 1976, inter alia) and the South Asian languages (Masica 1976, Kachru, Kachru & Bhati

Schulaustausch lebt von Interaktion, doch entsteht diese nicht immer von selbst. Beobachtungen legten in diesem Zusammenhang offen, dass es Sch眉ler*innen insbesondere in fr眉hen Phasen des Fremdsprachenlernens schwerf盲llt, mit Austauschpartner*innen in Kontakt zu treten. Um solchen Unsicherheiten zu begegnen und mehrsprachige Austauschinteraktionen zu f枚rdern, wurde im Rahmen einer Aktionsforschung ein Schreibprojekt entwickelt, das sich an den Austauschphasen orientiert und an den Unsicherheiten
Taal als muur: een sociolingu茂stisch onderzoek naar taal en cultuur van de mennonietengemeenschap Salamanca in Bacalar, Quintana Roo, Mexico
De Ooltkolonia mennonieten in Salamanca en elders in heel Amerika zijn radicaal behoudende nakomelingen van doopsgezinden uit de 16de-eeuwse Nederlanden en het 17de- en 18de-eeuwse Pools/Pruisische deltagebied rondom Gdansk. Hun afgezonderde levensorde baseert deze landbouwgemeenschap op de leerstellingen van de Friese predikant Menno Simons.

This thesis investigates syntactic complexity in Russian Sign Language (RSL) and Sign Language of the Netherlands (Nederlandse Gebarentaal, NGT), focusing on two types of complex constructions: complement clauses and relative clauses. A combination of corpus analysis and experimental methods (elicitation and acceptability judgments) is employed to examine these structures in both languages.
The study of complement clauses reveals both cross-linguistic parallels and points of divergence. In bo

In this book, feminisation 鈥� the marking of female sex on personal nouns 鈥� in Dutch and German is investigated contrastively, diachronically, and corpus-linguistically. The corpus-based approach entails a theoretical and methodological shift from a structuralist and essentialist approach to the interplay of language and sex to a poststructuralist, usage-based and holistic perspective, which has long been lacking from the scientific domain of Gender Linguistics.
