Synopses & Reviews
The volume contains papers given at the 30th Colloquium of Linguistics, whose leading (but not exclusive) theme was 'Language and Cognition'. The papers represent various domains of linguistics and range from purely theoretical (e.g. those dealing with language sign and categorical grammar), through descriptive and historical, to application-oriented (glottodidactics and translation). Computer linguistics is also represented. The papers deal with a number of languages (English, French, German, Gothic, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Icelandic, Polish, including Kashubian, and others). The problem of artificial languages is considered, too.
Synopsis
Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new knowledge about human languages both synchronically and diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality linguistic studies from all the central areas of general linguistics and the linguistics of individual languages which address topical questions, discuss new data and advance the development of linguistic theory.
