Focus: Historical Linguistics and Generative Theory
Description:
The ETHL Summer School will bring together research in historical syntax, phonology, and morphology to holistically address the relation of all modules of grammar to diachronic change. Our curriculum provides a crash-course into the what and why of theoretical historical linguistics providing a comprehensive overview of this emerging discipline from both the theoretical and historical perspectives. With classes led by:

Eine grundlegende Funktion von Kommunikation besteht darin, die Emotionen und Haltungen der eigenen Person dem Gespr盲chspartner mitzuteilen. Diese emotive oder expressive Funktion der Sprache gilt als anthropologische Konstante, die allerdings historisch-kulturell unterschiedlich ausgeformt wird (B眉hler 1999 (1934), Jakobson 2007 (1960), Pustka 2015).
Im Zentrum der Sektion steht die Frage, in welcher Weise neue digitale Formate

According to Iedema (2003), resemiotization provides the analytical means for tracing how semiotics are translated from one into the other as social processes unfold, as well as for asking why these semiotics (rather than others) are mobilized to do certain things at certain times.
In fact, as Kress and Van Leeuwen (1996: 37) points out, transcoding between a range of semiotic modes represents a more adequate understanding of representation and communication. For this reason, over the past de

Meeting description:
Tense and Aspect are fundamental categories in the architecture of grammar. Both situate eventualities in time, but they do so in different ways: tense anchors the time of the event deictically to the time of the utterance, yielding present, past, or future distinctions, either directly or through the mediation of a reference time (Comrie 1985, Bybee 1992). Aspect, on the other hand, refers to the internal temporal constituency of the event, encodi
