Deutsches Wortfamilien-Wörterbuch by Jochen SplettThis dictionary of present-day German comprises some 11,000 pages and 80,000 headwords and is the first comprehensive research-based dictionary of German word families. It orders the vocabulary by stem-morphemes, presents all the derivations with their individual meanings, gives a morphological structural formula for each derivation and lists the most important specialist literature. Thus the dictionary manages to overcome the usual atomised presentation when words are given in alphabetical order, which does not take account of the reality of the language and its processes of word formation. The dictionary is a standard lexicographical work for language researchers and language historians.
The Acquisition of German by Anne Vainikka; Martha Young-ScholtenThe theory of Organic Grammar is applied to four decades of work on children s and immigrant L2 learners acquisition of German word order and inflectional morphology. New data from a longitudinal study of ab initio secondary school students reveals bottom-up acquisition of syntactic structure during their exchange year in Germany. Their naturalistic acquisition process, with stages described for the first time in L2 acquisition, is highly similar to that of younger learners. This has important implications for German teaching and for Universal Grammar and acquisition."

Germanic Linguistics by Rosina Lippi (Editor); Joseph C. Salmons (Editor)This volume contains ten revised and expanded papers selected from the dozens presented at the last Michigan-Berkeley Germanic Linguistics Roundtable, five contributions each from syntax (by Werner Abraham, Sarah Fagan, Isabella Barbier, John te Velde, and Ruth Lanouette) and historical linguistics (by Garry Davis and Gregory Iverson, Mary Niepokuj, Neil Jacobs, Edgar Polom#65533;, and David Fertig). The authors start from current theoretical discussions in syntactic and diachronic research, using theory to address longstanding but still current problems in Germanic linguistics, from clitic placement and verb-second phenomena through the Versch#65533;rfung to the Twaddellian view of umlaut. Each contribution relies on careful sifting of data situated in the relevant comparative context, Germanic, Indo-European and cross-linguistic.
Three hundred entries by leading scholars in a variety of fields - from anthropology and literary theory to linguistics and philosophy - survey the study of signs and symbols in human culture in this new work. The articles cover key concepts, theories, theorists, schools, and issues in communications, cognition, and cultural theory.
