Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Linguistik, Note: 1,3, Universität Paderborn, Veranstaltung: Proseminar: Inhalts- und Funktionswörter, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ausgehend von der Arbeit von Weydt 1969 haben die Modalpartikeln das Interesse der Sprachwissenschaft geweckt. Lange wurden sie als überflüssige „Würzwörter“ und „Zaunkönige und Läuse im Pelz der Sprache“ bezeichnet (Eisenberg 1995: 206), die keine oder nur eine umstrittene grammatische Funktion innehaben. Mit dieser Arbeit möchte ich erarbeiten, ob die MPn eine grammatische, also eine relationale Funktion haben und herausstellen, wie diese aussieht. Dazu werde ich zunächst eine erste Annäherung an die Wortklasse der MPn und ihre Funktionen vornehmen. Die grammatische Funktion der MPn ist im Zusammenhang mit dem Prozess der Grammatikalisierung zu erwähnen, da innerhalb dieses Prozesses aus lexikalischen Elementen Grammeme werden (vgl. Autenrieth 2005:309). Allerdings ist in der Forschung ebenfalls umstritten, ob die MPn ein Ergebnis der Grammatikalisierung oder der Pragmatikalisierung sind. Dazu werde ich eine überblickhafte Darstellung der beiden Sprachwandelprozesse geben. Ich werde die funktionale Entwicklung anhand von Beispielen aus der dramatischen Literatur, ergänzt durch eigens erdachte, bearbeiten. Ich habe diese Art von Literatur gewählt, da sie Nähe zur gesprochenen Sprache aufweist, indem sie diese simuliert (vgl. Nübling 2010: 154). Mit der Literatur decke ich in etwa den Zeitraum von 1770- 1980 ab. Ich werde mich auf Passagen aus den Werken Iphigenie auf Tauris von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Kabale und Liebe von Friedrich Schiller, Prinz Friedrich von Homburg von Heinrich von Kleist und Dürrenmatts Der Besuch der alten Dame beziehen.

There is a continual growth of interest among linguists of all-theoretical denominations in grammaticalization, a concept central to many linguistic (change) theories. However, the discussion of grammaticalization processes has often suffered from a shortage of concrete empirical studies from one of the best-documented languages in the world, English. Pathways of Change contains discussion of new data and provides theoretical lead articles based on these data that will help sharpen the theoretical aspects involved, such as the definition and the logical connection of the component processes of grammaticalization. The volume is concentrated around a number of themes that are important or controversial in grammaticalization studies, such as the principle of unidirectionality, the relation between lexicalization and grammaticalization — and connected with these two factors the possibility of degrammaticalization — the way iconicity interweaves with grammaticalization processes, and with the phenomenon of grammaticalization on a synchronic or discourse level, also often termed subjectifization.

"This book reconstructs what the earliest grammars might have been and shows how they could have led to the languages of modern humankind. "Like other biological phenomena, language cannot be fully understood without reference to its evolution, whether proven or hypothesized," wrote Talmy Givón in 2002. As the languages spoken 8,000 years ago were typologically much the same as they are today and as no direct evidence exists for languages before then, evolutionary linguists are at a disadvantage compared to their counterparts in biology. Bernd Heine and Tania Kuteva seek to overcome this obstacle by combining grammaticalization theory, one of the main methods of historical linguistics, with work in animal communication and human evolution. The questions they address include: do the modern languages derive from one ancestral language or from more than one? What was the structure of language like when it first evolved? And how did the properties associated with modern human languages arise, in particular syntax and the recursive use of language structures? The authors proceed on the assumption that if language evolution is the result of language change then the reconstruction of the former can be explored by deploying the processes involved in the latter. Their measured arguments and crystal-clear exposition will appeal to all those interested in the evolution of language, from advanced undergraduates to linguists, cognitive scientists, human biologists, and archaeologists.

The notion of subjectivity explored here concerns expression of self and the representation of a speaker's perspective or point of view in discourse. Subjectivization involves the structures and strategies that languages evolve in the linguistic realization of subjectivity and the relevant processes of linguistic evolution themselves. This volume reflects the growing attention in linguistics and related disciplines commanded by the centrality of the speaker in language. An international team of contributors offers a series of studies on grammatical, diachronic, and literary aspects of subjectivity and subjectivization, from a variety of perspectives including literary stylistics, historical linguistics, formal semantics, and discourse analysis. The essays look at the role of the perspective of locutionary agents, their expression of affect and modality in linguistic expressions and discourse, and the effects of these phenomena on the formal shape of discourse. This volume demonstrates how deeply embedded in linguistic expression subjectivity is, and how central to human discourse.

The status of grammaticalization has been the subject of many controversial discussions. The contributions to What makes Grammaticalization? approach the prevalent phenomenon from the angle of language structure and focus on the interrelation between the levels of phonology, pragmatics (inference), discourse and the lexicon and some of them try to integrate the areal perspective. A wealth of data from Slavonic languages as well as from languages of other genetic and areal affiliation is discussed. The book is of interest to linguists specializing in grammaticalization, lexicalization and morphological typology, to language typologists as well as to functional, historical and cognitive linguists.

In the past two decades, the study of prepositions has grown steadily. The papers collected in this volume bring together the multifaceted perspectives on prepositions that have been developed in contemporary linguistics. Some papers mainly discuss syntactic (and morphological) aspects of prepositions; other papers predominantly focus on cognitive aspects. All the papers are, however, concerned with the semantics of prepositions. This volume evolved from a workshop on prepositions held at Hamburg University on June 26 and 27, 1998.

The study of grammaticalization raises a number of fundamental theoretical issues pertaining to the relation of langue and parole, creativity and automatic coding, synchrony and diachrony, categoriality and continua, typological characteristics and language-specific forms, etc., and therefore challenges some of the basic tenets of twentieth century linguistics.This two-volume work presents a number of diverse theoretical viewpoints on grammaticalization and gives insights into the genesis, development, and organization of grammatical categories in a number of language world-wide, with particular attention to morphosyntactic and semantic-pragmatic issues. The papers in Volume I are divided into two sections, the first concerned with general method, and the second with issues of directionality. Those in Volume II are divided into five sections: verbal structure, argument structure, subordination, modality, and multiple paths of grammaticalization.
