Das Thema des Todes manifestiert sich im Werk Friedrich Schillers auf den ersten Blick vor allem in den Dramen [...] Doch das Drama ist nicht die einzige Gattung, innerhalb derer der Tod von Bedeutung ist. Seit jeher waren kleinere literarische Genres wie Elegie, Epicedium oder Epitaph diesem Thema gewidmet. Die Flut an elegischen und melancholischen Gedichten der Empfindsamkeit, etwa in der englischen "Graveyard"-Poesie oder in der Dichtung des "Göttinger Hain", belegt, daß gerade seit der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts die Lyrik in besonderer Weise als geeignet galt, Empfindungen wie Schmerz und Trauer zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Auch für die Werkgeschichte Friedrich Schillers ist es von nicht zu unterschätzender Bedeutung, daß in seiner frühen Lyrik, besonders in den Gedichten, die er in der von ihm selbst herausgegebenen Anthologie auf das Jahr 1782 veröffentlichte, die Todesthematik (in einer von der Empfindsamkeit deutlich abweichenden Weise) eine herausragende Stellung einnimmt – auch wenn Schiller diese Gedichte später als "die wilden Produkte eines jugendlichen Dilettantism" bezeichnete.
The vagaries of the lunar calendar are such that erev Pesach coincides with Shabbos infrequently and with an irregular pattern. The occurrence of erev Pesach on Shabbos gives rise to numerous complications with regard to the eating of chometz and its disposal, the proper mode of fulfilling the mitzvah of the Shabbos repasts and preparations for the seder. The following is intended for general guidance. The individual readers Moro de-Asro should be consulted with regard to any questions which may arise.
The retreat of BE as perfect auxiliary in the history of English is examined. Corpus data are presented showing that the initial advance of HAVE was most closely connected to a restriction against BE in past counterfactuals. Other factors which have been reported to favor the spread of HAVE are either dependent on the counterfactual effect, or significantly weaker in comparison. It is argued that the effect can be traced to the semantics of the BE perfect, which denoted resultativity rather than anteriority proper. Related data from other older Germanic and Romance languages are presented, and finally implications for existing theories of auxiliary selection stemming from the findings presented are discussed.
It has often been noticed that one syntactic argument position can be realized by elements which seem to realize different thematic roles. This is notably the case with the external argument position of verbs of change of state which licenses volitional agents, instruments or natural forces/causers, showing the generality and abstractness of the external argument relation. (1) a. John broke the window (Agent) b. The hammer broke the window (Instrument) c. The storm broke the window (Causer) In order to capture this generality, Van Valin & Wilkins (1996) and Ramchand (2003) among others have proposed that the thematic role of the external argument position is in fact underspecified. The relevant notion is that of an effector (in Van Valin & Wilkins) or of an abstract causer/initiator (in Ramchand). In this paper we argue against a total underspecification of the external argument relation. While we agree that (1b) does not instantiate an instrument theta role in subject position, we argue that a complete underspecification of the external theta-position is not feasible, but that two types of external theta roles have to be distinguished, Agents and Causers. Our arguments are based on languages where Agents and Causers show morpho-syntactic independence (section 2.1) and the behavior of instrument subjects in English, Dutch, German and Greek (section 2.2 and 3). We show that instrument subjects are either Agent or Causer like. In section (4) we give an analysis how arguments realizing these thematic notions are introduced into syntax.
In many languages, a passive-like meaning may be obtained through a noncanonical passive construction. The get passive (1b) in English, the se faire passive (2b) in French and the kriegen passive (3b) in German represent typical manifestations. This squib focuses on the behavior of the get-passive in English and discusses a number of restrictions associated with it as well as the status of get.
