The Smurf comics series is, among others, famous for the so-called "smurf language", in which words or parts of words can be replaced by "smurf". We will argue that this "smurfing" has the properties of placeholding. Based on data from German translations of Smurf comics, we will provide a formalization of smurfing in German which can be generalized to a theory of placeholder expressions.
This paper presents an incremental approach to verb clusters in German which radically differs from standard HPSG accounts. While the common assumption is that the verbs in subordinate clauses form clusters and accumulate all their valence requirements on a SUBCAT list, the assumption in this paper is that the arguments in verb final clauses are encapsulated incrementally into syntactic and semantic structures before the verbs are attached. The proposed analysis is in line with psycholinguistic findings. A grammar fragment of German demonstrating an implementation of the analysis is presented.
This article deals with the development of -igen verbs in German since the Old High German period, demonstrating that this can be regarded as a process in which the adjective formation morpheme -ig gradually develops into a component of a word formation pattern that derives transitive verbs from nouns. An -igen-verb can be descended not only from an -ig-adjective (würdig – würdigen) but also from a noun without an intermediary -ig-adjective (Pein – *peinig – peinigen). In this article, it is claimed that a word formation pattern with -ig develops over time. The emergence of this word formation pattern can be described as a "reanalysis" of the verb structure accompanied by a "resegmentation" of the original word structure and a semantic "remotivation" of the established unit. It is also pointed out that this development is particularly evident in the Middle High German period.
Wende
(2020)
Wer heute bezogen auf die deutsche Geschichte von 'der Wende' spricht, meint die im Herbst 1989 in der DDR beginnenden und mit deren Anschluss an die Bundesrepublik endenden politischen Umwälzungen. Zwar favorisieren damalige Akteure und manche Historiker dafür pathetischere Bezeichnungen wie 'Freiheitsrevolution' oder das vom damaligen Westberliner Bürgermeister Walter Momper am Tage nach der Maueröffnung geprägte, etwas sperrige Oxymoron 'friedliche Revolution'. Doch gerade die ostdeutsche Alltagssprache hat diese nie übernommen, vielleicht, weil im DDR-Sprachgebrauch 'Revolution' mit sozialem Fortschritt, mit etwas grundsätzlich Neuem verbunden war. Dass 'Wende' zur nahezu neutralen Bezeichnung dieser Prozesse werden würde, war zeitgenössisch keineswegs absehbar.
