Watts DIGLOSSIA AND POWER Language Policies and Practice in the 19th Century Habsburg Empire Edited by Rosita Rindler Schjerve 2003. vi, 351 pages. Cloth. Euro 88.00 / sFr 141.00 / for USA, Canada, Mexico: US$ 88.00 ISBN 3-11-017653-X Paperback. Euro 29.95 / sFr 48.00 / for USA, Canada, Mexico: US$ 29.95 ISBN 3-11-017654-8 (Language, Power and Social Process 9) This book is about the struggle for social power in the inter-ethnic context of the Austrian part of the 19th century Austro-Hungarian Empire. It explores how the struggle for power is reflected in attempts to control language use at different levels of discursive interaction, and how, in a context of intricate and multiple language contact, language became a prominent site for interethnic controversies and conflict. The book shows how, in the wake of ongoing democratization, in partic-ular in 1848 - 1849 and after 1860, the non-German speaking nationalities of the Empire attempted to redefine their status by demanding recognition of their languages and cultures while German-dominated state nationalism tried to reestablish its endangered hegemony by granting linguistic and cultural autonomy to the various ethnic groups. Rosita Rindler Schjerve is Professor at the University of Vienna, Austria. FROM THE CONTENTS: Introduction ROSITA RINDLER SCHJERVE I.

The Interactive ALR is a powerful online resource for the comparative study of Native American languages. Built from the ever-expanding catalog of our American Language Reprint (ALR) series, The Interactive ALR puts a growing 10,000 word linguistic database and powerful search capabilities into the hands of scholars, allowing for instant comparison of dozens of historical vocabularies. Representing 400 years of linguistic data, and over two dozen languages scattered throughout more than 50 different documents, the database brings together a collection of information that has never before been so readily accessible in either book or electronic form. Evolution will be beta-testing this database during December 2003 and most functions are freely available, including: * Enhanced word search allowing the user to search for words, phrases and letter patterns in native entries as well as their English translations. * An Interactive Linguistic Atlas, plotting native words on the user's choice of seven printable maps. * Ability to restrict searches by date and linguistic family. * Custom Lexicon generation for combining and comparing vocabularies in either dictionary or table format. This function will have limited accessibility during testing. * Unlimited access to full-text versions of the entire ALR series (currently 30 volumes) in printable PDF format. This function will not be available during testing. * Selected scans of the original sources of linguistic data * First access to newly added data which will be uploaded to the database before it appears in book form. * Supplemental data and word-lists that do not appear in the book series. Interested scholars are encouraged to experiment with the database during the beta-testing period. For more information, visit: http://www.evolpub.com/interactiveALR/home.html After December 31, 2003, the full functionality of the database will be available via subscription. Special reduced rates are available to recognized tribal institutions and members of SSILA.

Cloth. Euro 98.00 / sFr 157.00 / approx. US$ 108.00 ISBN 3-11-017675-0 (Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs 143) Meanings of words are constantly changing, and the forces driving this changes are varied and diverse. Linguistic analyses are usually concerned with language-internal processes, while investigations of language-external historical developments tend to disregard linguistic considerations. It is evident, however, that an investigation of diachronic semantics will have to consider both sides: a specific theory of meaning including a proper place for lexical semantics on the one hand, and incorporate knowledge about the world and the social and cultural environment of speakers who use language as a tool for communication on the other. The collection focuses on meaning change as a topic of interdisciplinary research. Distinguished scholars in diachronic semantics, general linguistics, classical philology, philosophy of language, anthropology and history offer in depth studies of language internal and external factors of meaning change. This broad range of perspectives, unprecedented in research publications of recent years, is a pioneering attempt to mirror the multi-facetted nature of language as a formal, social, cognitive, cultural and historical entity. The contributions, each exploring the research issues, methods and techniques of their particular field, are directed towards a broader audience of interested readers, thus enhancing interdisciplinary exchange.
