  • Derivations and Evaluationsby Hans Broekhuis

    De Gruyter 2008; US$ 168.00

    This study shows that Scandinavian object shift and so-called A-scrambling in the continental Germanic languages are the same, and aims at providing an account of the variation that we find with respect to this phenomenon by combining certain aspects of the Minimalist Program and Optimality Theory. More specifically, it is claimed that representations... more...

  • Weltfluchtby Manfred Kern

    De Gruyter 2009; US$ 182.00

    The study is devoted to the thought patterns and forms of presentation of transience and renunciation of the world in lyric and epic poetry from the 12th to 15th centuries. As secular poetry is itself 'the world's work', it presents a fortunate fundamental paradox? flight from the world in poetry is always accompanied by a latent reference to the world.... more...

  • Querdenker der Aufklärungby Sven-Aage Jørgensen

    Wallstein Verlag 2013; US$ 30.18

    Hauptbeschreibung Johann Georg Hamann wurde in der älteren literaturgeschichtlichen Forschung vielfach als bloßer Vorläufer Herders betrachtet, dessen literarischer Spürsinn und irrationaler Glaube ihren Ausdruck in orakelnden Aphorismen fanden und deswegen von der jüngeren Generation als krauses Originalgenie verehrt wurde. Die völlig disparate... more...
