The papers of this 33th volume of the ZAS Papers in Linguistics present intermediate results of the ZAS-project on language acquisition. Currently we deal with the question of which functions children assign to the first grammatical forms they use productively. The goal is to identify grammatical features comprising the child's early grammar. This issue is investigated within the analyses of longitudinal data (cf. the papers of Gagarina/Bittner, Gagarina, Kühnast/Popova/Popov, Bewer) as well as within experimental research (see the papers of Bittner, Kühnast/Popova/Popov). The main topic of this volume is the acquisition of definite articles and verbal aspect.
Bewer – who has worked as a student assistant in the project for a long time and wrote her MA-thesis on the topic of the project – investigates children's acquisition of gender features in German. Kühnast/Popova/Popov discuss the correlations between the acquisition of definite articles and verbal aspect in Bulgarian. Bittner presents results of an experimental study on definite article perception in adult German. Gagarina traces the emergence of aspectual oppositions in Russian and examines the validity of the 'aspect before tense' hypothesis for L1-speaking children. Additionally, the paper of Gagarina/Bittner deals with the interrelation between the acquisition of finiteness and verb arguments in Russian and German.
After this issue you will have a new editor at the helm: Dr Volker Framenau. As you have been reading in the newsletters Volker has a background in both taxonomy and ecology. A network across both disciplines should help keep us well informed of the latest news and research within the region. Volker is very enthusiastic about the society and I encourage members to keep supporting the newsletter by sending him your articles. Volker has been helping me develop the webpage so that will continue to evolve.
This is it, my first issue! As
Tracey announced in the editorial of the
last Australasian Arachnology, it’s now my
turn ‘at the helm’ of our newsletter.
Everybody will agree that Tracey did a
tremendous job over the last five years,
editing 15 wonderful issues (numbers 55
– 69). Parallels of the current change to
her take-over from Mark Harvey as
previous editor are evident. As then Mark,
Tracey embraces a new role as parent
and her increasing family duties do not
allow as many arachnological activities at
this stage.
