Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In most languages, words contain vowels, elements of high intensity with rich harmonic structure, enabling the perceptual retrieval of pitch. By contrast, in Tashlhiyt, a Berber language, words can be composed entirely of voiceless segments. When an utterance consists of such words, the phonetic opportunity for the execution of intonational pitch movements is exceptionally limited. This book explores in a series of production and perception experiments how these typologically rare phonotactic patterns interact with intonational aspects of linguistic structure. It turns out that Tashlhiyt allows for a tremendously flexible placement of tonal events. Observed intonational structures can be conceived of as different solutions to a functional dilemma: The requirement to realise meaningful pitch movements in certain positions and the extent to which segments lend themselves to a clear manifestation of these pitch movements.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 208 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Strukturen fiktionaler, imitierender Sprache. Am Beispiel detaillierter Analysen der sprachlichen Charakterisierung jüdischer Figuren der deutschsprachigen Literatur des 18., 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts legt die Arbeit offen, welche Strukturen die jiddische Sprachrealität widerspiegeln und welche als Reflexe der (zumeist autoreigenen) Mündlichkeit gelten können. Zugleich stellt die Untersuchung eine umfangreiche grammatische Darstellung des im deutschsprachigen Raum bis ins frühe 20. Jahrhundert hinein verbreiteten Westjiddischen dar, dessen Strukturen sie mit denen deutscher und ostjiddischer Varietäten vergleicht.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 436 pp. Englisch.
