A contrast to a trace
(2001)
For movement, such as quantifier raising, the three different structures illustrated in (1) are discussed in the recent literature.
(1) A girl danced with every boy
a. [every boy]x a girl danced with x (copy + replace)
b. [every boy]x a girl danced with [every boy] (copy)
c. [every boy]x a girl danced with [thex boy] (copy + modify)
In this paper, I'll call the proposal illustrated by (1a) the copy+replace theory since the movement is analyzed as first copying the moving phrase followed by replacing the moving phrase with a trace in the base position of movement. Chomsky (1993) and Fox (1999) argue against the copy+replace theory (1a) on the basis of Condition C data that show that moved material can behave as if it occupied the base position of movement. This behavior would, for example, be expected on the copy theory of movement illustrated by (1b), which also seems conceptually simpler than the copy+replace theory since it involves only copying without replacement. This conceptual advantage, however, is probably only apparent since a theory of the interpretation of structures like (1b) would probably be more complicated than for (1a). Standard assumptions about interpretation, at least, don't predict the right meaning when applied to (1b). For this reason, Chomsky and Fox propose what I'll call the copy+modify-theory illustrated in (1c). This proposes that copying is followed by a trace modification operation that replaces the determiner of the moved DP with something else. I assume that this is an indexed definite determiner, the interpretation of which is to be clarified below.
This paper discusses the nature of habits in the use of languages. It is well-known that the habits of one's first language can influence the acquisition of a second language. This paper discusses the less well-known phenomenon of how an acquired second language can influence one's first language, and explains this influence by reference to the nature of communicative behavior.
In terms of the direction of development, I referred to Johanna Nichols' work on head-marking vs. dependant marking. Nichols did not make reference to any languages in Tibeto-Burman, but all of the Tibeto-Burman languages that do not have verb agreement systems are solidly dependent-marking (i.e., they have marking on the nouns for case or pragmatic function); those languages with verb agreement systems, a type of head marking, also have many dependent-marking features (of the same types as the non-pronominalized languages). The question, then, is which is older, the dependent-marking type or the headmarking (actually mixed) type?
The aim of this paper is to give a unified account of the way that German demonstrative pronouns (henceforth: D-pronouns) like der, die and das behave (a) in sentences where they receive a coreferential interpretation, and (b) in sentences where they receive a covarying interpretation because they are in some way dependent on a quantificational expression – either via direct binding or indirectly, because the value they receive varies with the value that is assigned to the variable bound by an indefinite determiner.
Wissenschaft ist das Suchen nach (neuen) Erkenntnissen. Die Erkenntnisse bzw. deren Resultate werden vom denkenden und erkennenden Menschen in Begriffe, in kognitive Einheiten, gefasst; damit diese Begriffe kommunizierbar werden, müssen sie mit Wörtern, sprachlichen Einheiten, benannt werden. Auf diese Weise kommt es (auch) zu fachlichen Terminologien.
Ein Blick in die Geschichte der deutschen Sprache kann diese kognitiven und sprachlichen Prozesse illustrieren: Die deutsche Mystik des Mittelalters stellt die Sprecher/innen vor die Notwendigkeit, neue Erfahrungen, die der "Unio mystica", zu versprachlichen. Da eine deutsche Wissenschaftssprache sich erst im 18. Jahrhundert zu etablieren beginnt, ist die 'Fachsprache' der deutschen Mystik eine wichtige Vorstufe, die die Möglichkeiten, zu neuen Termini zu kommen, systematisiert. Wenn heute die deutschen Fachsprachen, wie es oft gefordert wird, vom Englischen abgelöst werden, gehen wichtige Erkenntnisquellen verloren.
Der Aufsatz präsentiert einen der historiographischen Texte aus den böhmischen Ländern, der am Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts vom Humanisten Matthaeus Meisner (1543–nach 1600) verfasst wurde. Das Manuskript über die Geschichte der Stadt Brüx (Most) in Nordwestböhmen ist zurzeit im Archiv der Prager Burg als Bestandteil der Bibliothek des Metropolitankapitels von St. Veit deponiert. Der Aufsatz behandelt die textologische Charakteristik des Manuskripts und die Aspekte, die für die Wahl der im Manuskript vorkommenden, also der lateinischen, deutschen und tschechischen, Sprachen relevant waren.
