Mit dem Konzept der Valenz steht ein theoretisches Modell zur Verfügung, das die verschiedenen semantischen und syntaktischen Aspekte der Beziehung zwischen typischerweise verbalen Prädikaten und ihren typischerweise nominalen Aktanten im Satz erfaßt. Dagegen müssen die entsprechenden Verhältnisse innerhalb komplexer Prädikate als weitgehend ungeklärt gelten. Welcher Art sind - aus valenztheoretischer Sicht - in komplexen Prädikaten wie etwa f...

Die Arbeit unternimmt erstmals den Versuch, die Entstehung und Ausprägung deutschsprachiger Ghettoliteratur vornehmlich des 19. Jahrhunderts unter bewußter Aussparung jiddischer Texte in einem größeren literarhistorischen Kontext darzustellen. Der Begriff 'deutschsprachige Ghettoliteratur' verweist dennoch primär auf einen grenzüberschreitenden Charakter des Genres, denn im Verlauf des o.g. Zeitraums wurden Ghettoerzählungen im gesamten deutsc...

In allen Romanen Thomas Manns spielen Essensszenen eine bedeutungstragende Rolle. Sie bedienen nicht nur den Hunger. Sie problematisieren den Appetit, den Willen, das Streben, den Austausch mit der Natur, dem Anderen, letztlich dem Göttlichen. Die "Götterspeise" geht dieser ebenso abgründigen w...

Environmental pragmatism is a new strategy in environmental thought. It argues that theoretical debates are hindering the ability of the environmental movement to forge agreement on basic policy imperatives. This new direction in environmental thought moves beyond theory, advocating a serious inquiry into the merits of moral pluralism. Environmental pragmatism, as a coherent philosophical position, connects the methodology of classical America...

Its subject is the fate of one of the world's greatest civilizations over thirteen centuries - its rulers, wars and society, and the events that led to its disastrous collapse. Here, in volumes three and four, Gibbon vividly recounts the waves of barbarian invaders under command...

Der Briefwechsel zwischen Goethe und Zelter in den Jahren 1799 bis 1832 wurde lange Zeit vor allem wegen seines 'menschlichen Wertes' geschätzt. Im Vergleich mit dem Schillerbriefwechsel und den "Gesprächen mit Eckermann" galt er dagegen als intellektuell und künstlerisch unbedeutend. Die vorliegende Quellenstudie versucht eine Neubewertung des umfangreichen und vielseitigen Konvolutes, indem sie es als autobiographischen und anthropologischen...

Bringing together a diversity of specialists, this book demonstrates that by ignoring the essential complexity of the world, current GIS do not adequately address problems as diverse as the resolution of crime between national boundaries.
