Theoretical Approaches To Disharmonic Word Order
by Theresa Biberauer Michelle SheehanThis book considers the implications of cross-linguistic word-order patterns for linguistic theory. One of the salient results of Joseph Greenberg's pioneering work in language typology was the notion of a 'harmonic' word-order type, whereby if the verb appears at the left or right edge of the verb phrase, other heads (e.g. prepositions, nouns) also tend to do so. Today, however, there is recognition in both the typological and generative literature that very many, and possibly even the majority of languages, fail to be fully harmonic in the sense that all head-complement pairs pattern alike. But does this imply limitless variation? The chapters in this volume, written by international scholars, discuss the issues arising from this basic question, drawing on data from typologically distinct disharmonic languages, including Mandarin Chinese, Basque, Mócheno (a Tyrolean variety spoken in Northern Italy), French, English, Hixkaryana (a Cariban language), Khalkha Mongolian, Uyghur Turkic, and Afrikaans. The volume begins with a substantial introduction to the study of word order and its relation to linguistic theory. It is then divided into sections on the nature of disharmony; the role of prosody; the question of Antisymmetry and novel alternatives to Antisymmetry; and the Final-over-Final Constraint. Aside from introducing new empirical findings, the volume also offers a range of new perspectives on disharmonic word orders, the status of word order in linguistic theory, and theoretical accounts of typological gaps.

Theoretical Implications of Some Global Phenomena in Syntax (Routledge Library Editions: Syntax)
by Gilles FauconnierThis title, first published in 1979, centres on control and binding in networks of anaphora. A wide variety of phenomena which are superficially global rather than local processes are examined, and the study deals directly with aspects of natural logic and finds its empirical motivation in concrete grammatical phenomena, thereby accounting for similarities and differences between natural languages and artificial formal logics. This title will be of interest to students of language and linguistics.

Theoretical Inquiry: Language, Linguistics, and Literature
by Dean Austin E. QuigleyIn the aftermath of debate about the death of literary theory, Austin E. Quigley asks whether theory has failed us or we have failed literary theory. Theory can thrive, he argues, only if we understand how it can be strategically deployed to reveal what it does not presuppose. This involves the repositioning of theoretical inquiry relative to historical and critical inquiry and the repositioning of theories relative to each other.What follows is a thought-provoking reexamination of the controversial claims of pluralism in literary studies. The book explores the related roles of literary history, criticism, and theory by tracing the fascinating history of linguistics as an intellectual problem in the twentieth century. Quigley’s approach clarifies the pluralistic nature of literary inquiry, the viability and life cycles of theories, the controversial status of canonicity, and the polemical nature of the culture wars by positioning them all in the context of recurring debates about language that have their earliest exemplifications in classical times.
Theoretical Issues in Language Acquisition: Continuity and Change in Development
by J X00FC Rgen Weissenborn Helen Goodluck Thomas RoeperIn recent linguistic theory, there has been an explosion of detailed studies of language variation. This volume applies such recent analyses to the study of child language, developing new approaches to change and variation in child grammars and revealing both early knowledge in several areas of grammar and a period of extended development in others. Topics dealt with include question formation, "subjectless" sentences, object gaps, rules for missing subject interpretation, passive sentences, rules for pronoun interpretation and argument structure. Leading developmental linguists and psycholinguists show how linguistic theory can help define and inform a theory of the dynamics of language development and its biological basis, meeting the growing need for such studies in programs in linguistics, psychology, and cognitive science.

Theoretical Linguistics and Disordered Language: Linguistics: Theoretical Linguistics And Disordered Language (Routledge Library Editions: Linguistics)
by Martin J. BallThe rapid increase of interest in disordered speech and language among linguists over the past decade or so has resulted in many books of practical help to speech pathologists in terms of assessment and remediation. Little, however, has appeared to examine the theoretical implications of the interaction between these two fields. This book aims to fill this gap, by showing how speech pathology can inform linguistic theory and vice versa.

Theoretical Linguistics in the Pre-University Classroom (Proceedings of the British Academy #257)
by ALICE CORR AND ANNA PINEDATheoretical Linguistics in the Pre-University Classroom showcases the pedagogical potential of theoretical linguistics in remaking encounters with the workings of language in pre-university classrooms. Theoretical linguistics reorients the pursuit of linguistic understanding by moving beyond instrumental skills acquisition towards intellectual discovery. It offers an untapped medium for promoting STEM education (science through language) and can engage a wider student demographic in languages study (language through science). Building on a groundswell of collaborative activity between schoolteachers and university linguists at national and international scales, this volume provides an up-to-date panorama of impact-focused research and grassroots practice emerging from the educational movement of Linguistics in Schools as it enters its 70th decade. Centred around three regional hives – North America, the UK, and Spain – the collection advances a pluralistic vision of theoretical linguistics as a means of expanding the possibilities of what it means to think about, or engage with, language and its workings in non-university settings.
Theoretical Models and Processes of Literacy
by Donna E. Alvermann Norman J. Unrau Misty Sailors Robert B. RuddellThe Seventh Edition of this foundational text represents the most comprehensive source available for connecting multiple and diverse theories to literacy research, broadly defined, and features both cutting-edge and classic contributions from top scholars. Two decades into the 21st century, the Seventh Edition finds itself at a crossroads and differs from its predecessors in three major ways: the more encompassing term literacy replaces reading in the title to reflect sweeping changes in how readers and writers communicate in a digital era; the focus is on conceptual essays rather than a mix of essays and research reports in earlier volumes; and most notably, contemporary literacy models and processes enhance and extend earlier theories of reading and writing. Providing a tapestry of models and theories that have informed literacy research and instruction over the years, this volume’s strong historical grounding serves as a springboard from which new perspectives are presented. The chapters in this volume have been selected to inspire the interrogation of literacy theory and to foster its further evolution. This edition is a landmark volume in which dynamic, dialogic, and generative relations of power speak directly to the present generation of literacy theorists and researchers without losing the historical contexts that preceded them. Some additional archival essays from previous editions are available on the book’s eResource. New to the Seventh Edition: Features chapters on emerging and contemporary theories that connect directly to issues of power and contrasts new models against more established counterparts. New chapters reflect sweeping changes in how readers and writers communicate in a digital era. Slimmer volume is complemented by some chapters from previous editions available online.

Theoretical Perspectives on Historians' Autobiographies: From Documentation to Intervention (Routledge Approaches to History)
by Jaume AurellE. H. Carr wrote, "study the historian before you begin to study the facts." This book approaches the life, work, ideas, debates, and the context of key 20th- and 21st-century historians through an analysis of their life writing projects viewed as historiographical sources. Merging literary studies on autobiography with theories of history, it provides a systematic and detailed analysis of the autobiographies of the most outstanding historians, from the classic texts by Giambattista Vico, Edward Gibbon and Henry Adams, to the Annales historians such as Fernand Braudel, Philippe Ariès and Georges Duby, to Marxist historians such as Eric Hobsbawm and Annie Kriegel, to postmodern historians such as Carolyn Steedman, Robert A. Rosenstone, Carlos Eire, Luisa Passerini, Elisabeth Roudinesco, Gerda Lerner and Sheila Fitzpatrick, and to "interventional" historians such as Geoff Eley, Jill Ker Conway, Natalie Davis and Gabrielle Spiegel. Using a comparative approach to these texts, this book identifies six historical-autobiographical styles: humanistic, biographic, ego-historical, monographic, postmodern, and interventional. By privileging historians' autobiographies, this book proposes a renewed history of historiography, one that engages the theoretical evolution of the discipline, the way history has been interpreted by historians, and the currents of thought and ideologies that have dominated and influenced its writing in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Theoretical Schools and Circles in the Twentieth-Century Humanities: Literary Theory, History, Philosophy (Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature)
by Marina Grishakova Silvi SalupereSchools and circles have been a major force in twentieth-century intellectual movements. They fostered circulation of ideas within and between disciplines, thus altering the shape of intellectual inquiry. This volume offers a new perspective on theoretical schools in the humanities, both as generators of conceptual knowledge and as cultural phenomena. The structuralist, semiotic, phenomenological, and hermeneutical schools and circles have had a deep impact on various disciplines ranging from literary studies to philosophy, historiography, and sociology. The volume focuses on a set of loosely interrelated groups, with a strong literary, linguistic, and semiotic component, but extends to the fields of philosophy and history—the interdisciplinary conjunctions arising from a sense of conceptual kinship. It includes chapters on unstudied or less studied groups, such as Tel Aviv School of poetics and semiotics or the research group Poetics and Hermeneutics. The volume presents a significant supplement to the standard historical accounts of literary, critical, and related theory in the twentieth century. It enhances and complicates our understanding of the twentieth-century intellectual and academic history by showing schools and circles in the state of germination, dialogue, controversy, or decline, in their respective historical and institutional settings, while reaching simultaneously beyond those dense settings to the new cultural and ideological situations of the twenty-first century.

Theorie der Gruppenidentitäts-Fabrikation: Ein kommunikationsökologischer Entwurf mit sozialtheoretischen Implikationen
by Robin KurillaBisher gibt es keine umfassende und kohärente Annäherung an die Bestimmung der an der Konstruktion von Gruppenidentitäten beteiligten kommunikativen und präkommunikativen Prozesse. Die vorliegende Untersuchung schließt diese Lücke durch die Entwicklung einer einheitlichen theoretischen Grundlage, mit der sich empirische Konstruktionsprozesse erfassen lassen. Überdies leistet sie einen Beitrag zur Domäne der Gruppenkommunikationsforschung. Es wird ein grundlagentheoretisches Flussbett geschaffen, das eine begriffliche Fundierung der Konzeption von Inter- und Intragruppenkommunikation liefert, die nicht von ‚objektiven’ Kategorien ihren Ausgang nimmt, sondern von de facto stattfindenden Vergesellschaftungsprozessen. Zudem wird am Beispiel der Gruppenidentitätskonstruktion die Architektur einer innovativen Sozialtheorie vorgestellt, die den Ansprüchen kommunikationswissenschaftlicher und womöglich auch in anderen Disziplinen zu verortender Erkenntnisinteressen genügt.
Theorie der Public Diplomacy: Sozialtheoretische Grundlegung einer Form strategischer Kommunikation (Organisationskommunikation)
by Claudia AuerClaudia Auer entwickelt eine Theorie der Public Diplomacy, die handlungstheoretische Ansätze mit makrosoziologischen Perspektiven zusammenführt. Detailliert analysiert sie einen bislang kaum erforschten Bereich kommunikativen Handelns und zeigt gleichzeitig, dass mit der sozialtheoretischen Grundlegung nicht nur Public Diplomacy, sondern verschiedene Formen strategischer und öffentlicher Kommunikation theoretisch erfasst werden können. Ihre Überlegungen zum Entwurf einer Theorie der PR und des Journalismus lassen erkennen, dass diese auch in solchen Forschungsfeldern zu neuen und weiterführenden Erkenntnissen führen können, die bereits durch Sozialtheorien gut erfasst worden sind.
Theorie des Romans: Erzählstrategien der Neuzeit
by Bruno HillebrandWelche Strategien des Erzählens hat die Neuzeit hervor gebracht? Welche Romantheorien waren prägend? Bruno Hillebrand schlüsselt die wichtigsten Aspekte auf: das Verhalten des Erzählers und die Einstellung des Autors der Gesellschaft, dem Menschen sowie dem Leser gegenüber. Das Lehrbuch gibt einen gut strukturierten Überblick über die wichtigsten Theorien und Äußerungen seit dem 18. Jahrhundert.
Theorien der Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft: Grundlegende Diskussionen, Forschungsfelder und Theorieentwicklungen (Medien • Kultur • Kommunikation)
by Carsten Winter Andreas Hepp Friedrich KrotzIn den letzten Jahren hat sich die Auseinandersetzung mit theoretischen Ansätzen innerhalb der Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft erheblich intensiviert. Im Fokus steht dabei einerseits die Frage, was die grundlegenden theoretischen Ansätze der Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft sind. Andererseits geht es um eine Diskussion der originären Theorieentwicklungen der Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft in ihren unterschiedlichen Forschungsfeldern. Das Werk zielt darauf, einen Überblick über diese aktuelle Theoriediskussion zu geben und zukünftige Perspektiven aufzuzeigen.
Theorien der Mediennutzung: Eine Einführung
by Wolfgang SchweigerIn der Kommunikationswissenschaft wächst das Interesse an der Frage, warum Menschen Massenmedien nutzen und wie sie mit ihnen umgehen. Warf man der frühen Mediennutzungsforschung noch Theorielosigkeit vor, so existiert mittlerweile eine Menge von Ansätzen und Theorien. Dennoch gibt es bislang keine umfassende Überblicksdarstellung. Der Band soll hier Abhilfe schaffen. In vier Abschnitten entwirft er (1) ein systematisches und wissenschaftshistorisches Bild der Mediennutzungsforschung und ihrer Rahmenbedingungen, erläutert (2) die wichtigsten Theorien zur allgemeinen Mediennutzung, nimmt (3) spezifische Medienauswahl- und Rezeptionsprozesse unter die Lupe und stellt schließlich (4) Mediennutzung im sozialen Kontext dar.

Theorien des Journalismus: Ein diskursives Handbuch
by Martin LöffelholzGerade in der Informationsgesellschaft besitzt der Journalismus erhebliche Relevanz. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat sich die Journalismustheorie in den letzten Jahren stark verändert: Die theoretische Diskussion ist facettenreicher, differenzierter - und unüberschaubarer - geworden. Das Handbuch "Theorien des Journalismus" liefert eine verständliche Orientierung über die Grundlagen, Entwicklungsstränge, Konzepte und Problemfelder der Journalismustheorie. Zusätzlich zu den mehr als 20 Originalbeiträgen enthält das Handbuch Auszüge aus "klassischen" früheren Veröffentlichungen zur Journalismustheorie.
