On the other hand, the wide range of possible pronominal functions establishes a number of pronominal subclasses. Research about pronouns concentrates on (a) universals in the grammar of pronouns, and typological and diachronical aspects of their realization in specific languages; (b) the contribution of pronominals to the syntactic and semantic structure of sentences, and their analysis in different models; (c) the mental representation of pronouns, and impairments in the production and comprehension of pronominals in aphasia. The workshop wants to bring together different lines of research from psycholinguistics, formal syntax and semantics, typology, and diachrony. The workshop will focus on, but will not be limited to, three pronominal subclasses: personal, interrogative, and relative pronouns. Possible topics are: - What are the universal properties of pronouns, and how are they realized in specific languages? - What are the grammatical categories that organize pronominal paradigms, and how do they develop diachronically and in language acquisition? - What is the nature of the impairments in the representation of pronominals in agrammatic aphasia? Which mental modules or submodules are involved? - How can we account for the formal features of constructions with pronouns? - How do syntactic and semantic phenomena interact for the interpretation of pronominals? How is reference constituted? The objective of the workshop is to integrate these different subjects in order (a) to obtain a more comprehensive picture of pronominal elements from the point of view of different approaches, and (b) to discuss the relationship of different grammatical aspects of lexical elements and their representation. Conference languages are English and German. We invite papers on all aspects of the representation and grammar of pronouns. Special attention will be given to papers that integrate different lines of research. Presentations will be 20 minutes long, plus 10 minutes for discussion. Limited space is available for presentations of 40 minutes + 20 minutes for discussion.

Current Issues in Linguistic Theory 162 US & Canada: 1 55619 878 7 / USD 79.00 (Hardcover) Rest of world: 90 272 3667 4 / NLG 158.00 (Hardcover) The Twelfth International Conference on Historical Linguistics, which is the major forum for the presentation of work in progress in the field of diachronic linguistics, took place at the University of Manchester in August 1995. The quality and breadth of the abstracts submitted for the general programme was such that four parallel sessions were needed throughout the conference. The present volume contains selected papers which deal with the Germanic languages. A companion volume contains papers on general problems in historical linguistics and studies of non-Germanic languages. The conference reflected the current health of diachronic linguistics. There were more papers and more participants than at past conferences, and the discussion covered a broader range of languages than hitherto. Sometimes it has been possible to isolate a particular preoccupation which has dominated much of the conference; but the overall impression to be gained from the Manchester meeting was one of stimulating diversity - the discipline appears to be moving forward on many fronts simultaneously, yet without losing focus. This stimulating diversity is well reflected in this important collection.

A Historical Syntax of Late Middle Indo-Aryan (Apabhramsa). Vit BUBENíK (Memorial Univ of Newfoundland) Current Issues in Linguistic Theory 165 US & Canada: 1 55619 881 7 / USD 89.00 (Hardcover) Rest of world; 90 272 3670 4 / NLG 178.00 (Hardcover) This monograph aims to close the gap in our knowledge of the nature and pace of grammatical change during the formative period of today's Indo-Aryan languages. During the 6th-12th c. the gradual erosion of the synthetic morphology of Old Indo-Aryan resulted ultimately in the remodelling of its syntax in the direction of the New Indo-Aryan analytic type. This study concentrates on the emergence and development of the ergative construction in terms of the passive-to-ergative reanalysis and the co-existence of the ergative construction with the old and new analytic passive constructions. Special attention is paid to the actuation problem seen as the tug of war between conservative and eliminative forces during their development. Other chapters deal with the evolution of grammatical and lexical aspect, causativization, modality, absolute constructions and subordination. This study is based on a wealth of new data gleaned from original poetic works in Apabhramsa (by Svayambhudeva, Puspadanta, Haribhadra, Somaprabha et al.). It contains sections dealing with descriptive techniques of Medieval Indian grammarians (esp. Hemacandra). All the Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabhramsa examples are consistently parsed and translated. The opus is cast in the theoretical framework of Functional Grammar of the Prague and Amsterdam Schools. It should be of particular interest to scholars and students of Indo-Aryan and general historical linguistics, especially those interested in the issues of morphosyntactic change and typology in their sociohistorical setting.

(In Russian; 50 pages of the Summary in English). This work is dedicated to the Case Systems of the Finno-Ugric languages � the Balto-Finnic, the Lappish, the Volgaic, the Permic, the Obb-Ugric, the Hungarian and the Samoyedic. The investigation is carried out from the positions of the Evolutional Typology (Historical Linguistics and System Typology): the author does not investigate some of the cases, he is interested in the fate of the cases systems on the whole, paying attention to the semantic changes of the Locatives and the evolution of abstract cases. Having reconstructed the common basis of the Finno-Ugric languages, the author inserts in his investigation some other languages: the Yukaghir, the Tungus, the Turkic, the Mongolian, the Paleo-Asiatic, and the Indo-European. The investigation proves that the above mentioned languages have common pre-history with the Finno-Ugric. The numerous schemes display the evolution of the Case System of every language group which was examined in the dissertation. The book is provided with the Bibliography including about 1 000 items. The price is 100 American Dollars. The book is meant for the students and teachers of the Uralic language family, but it may be useful for the linguists who are occupied with Nostratic and Linguistic Typology and Theory of Language.
