The diverse violence of modern Britain is hardly new. The Britain of 1850 to 1950 was similarly afflicted. The book is divided into four parts. 'Getting Hurt' which looks at everyday violence in the home (including a chapter on infanticide). 'Uses and Rejections' two chapters on the use of violence within groups of men and women outside the home (for example, violence within youth gangs, and male violence centred around pubs). 'Going Public' t...

A seemingly narrow dispute among Elizabethan critics for and against rhyme turns into an early debate on En...

Die Ergebnisse der Grammatikalisierungsforschung werden zunehmend auch seitens der germanistischen Sprachwissenschaft zur Kenntnis genommen. Gleichwohl haben die sprachtypologisch-universalistische Ausrichtung der Grammatikalisierungsforschung sowie ihr methodischer und beschreibungstheoretischer Pluralismus einer angemessenen Rezeption im Rahmen einer einzelsprachlichen Disziplin bislang im Wege gestanden. In der vorliegenden Monographie wird...

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Die ursprüngliche Idee des Verfassers bestand darin, im Rahmen dieser Arbeit die Trends im Wohnen zu untersuchen. Ziel war es dabei, die Kriterien für das zukünftige Wohnen zu bestimmen. Das Thema war damit allerdings zunächst zu allgemein formuliert und zu wenig vertiefbar. Jede Region hat spezifische Merkmale, die den Wohnungsmarkt stark beeinflussen. Deshalb wurde schließlich der Mietwohnungsmarkt in Leipzig Gegen...
