Intro -- Introduction -- Europe's sociolinguistic unity, or: A typology of European dialect/standard constellations -- From phonetic similarity to dialect classification: A principled approach -- Inflectional variation in Belgian and Netherlandic Dutch: A usage-based account of the adjectival inflection -- Interdialectal convergence between West-Flemish urban dialects -- Substitutions in epistolary forms of address in the seventeenth century Dutch standard variety -- LOVE in words: Experience and conceptualization in the modern English lexicon of LOVE -- On the role of semasiological profiles in merger discontinuations -- The ANGER IS HEAT question: Detecting cultural influence on the conceptualization of ANGER through diachronic corpus analysis -- Development and motivation of marked plural forms in German -- Not arbitrary, not regular: the magic of gender assignment -- Future time reference - English and Dutch compared -- Cleft constructions in French and Spanish -- How to express indifference in Germanic: Towards a functional-typological research programme -- The lexicalization of speech act evaluations in German, English and Dutch -- Index.
Summary: The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science. The series considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language.
