Typologische Aspekte der Deutschen Gebaerdensprache
SONJA ERLENKAMP
Im Mittelpunkt dieser Arbeit steht die Beschreibung grundlegender
syntaktischer und morphologischer Strukturen der Deutschen
Gebaerdensprache. Zentraler Aspekt der Darstellung ist dabei die
Einteilung der Gebaerden der Deutschen Gebaerdensprache in Wortarten.
Darueber hinaus liefert die Arbeit aber auch einen erstmaligen
UEberblick ueber den Aufbau von Argument- und Praedikatstuktur, den
Aufbau einfacher Saetze sowie eine Beschreibung des
Klassifikationssystems der Deutschen Gebaerdensprache. Neben dieser
auf das Gebaerdensprachsystem gerichtenten Betrachtung behandelt die
Autorin, Sonja Erlenkamp, auch Methodenfragen und liefert eine
kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der traditionellen
Wortarteneinteilung. Als Aus-gangspunkt dient dabei die Frage nach der
Universalitaet der Nomen-Verb-Distinktion in Sprachen. So wird im
ersten Teil des Buches ein UEberblick ueber die Problematik von
Wortartentheorien aus typologischer Perspektive gegeben und ein Ansatz
zur Beschreibung verschiedener Klassentypen wie syntaktische
Kategorien und lexikalische Klassen diskutiert. Die Autorin zeigt, wie
sich Wortarten-beschreibungen bei Gebaerdensprachen durchfuehren
lassen, und dass die Ergebnisse nicht unbedingt der traditionellen
indoeuro-paeischen Auffassung von einer Nomen-Verb-Distinktion
entsprechen muessen. Vielmehr zeigt die Analyse, dass die Deutsche
Gebaerdensprache hinsichtlich ihrer morphosyntaktischen Struk-turen
AEhnlichkeiten zu einigen nichtindoeuropaeischen Lautsprachen
aufweist: die Deutsche Gebaerdensprache hat Verben, aber keine Nomen.

Subject: Textbook ESL/EFL: The Finite English Verb Group by Omer & Mohamed
The Finite English Verb Group
MAJZOUB R. OMER & AYISHA H. MOHAMED
The Finite English Verb Group is primarily intended for ESL/EFL
teachers of English as well as undergraduate university students of
English grammar. The text is unique in its approach, combining
detailed, comprehensive discussion of theoretical concepts with
practical applications. Its main defining features are:
* It identifies and defines the major categories and sub-categories of
meanings/forms in the finite English verb group.
* It shows the different ways in which the meanings/forms can be
combined in the finite English verb group.
* It contains hundreds of examples, tables, figures, and diagrams which
serve to illustrate and explain the different theoretical concepts
discussed.
* It contains a large number of exercises which are meant to provide
intensive practice for the book user.
* It contains an answer key to the questions in the exercises whose
purpose is to provide a reference point as needed. In this way, the book
is useful for self-study undertaken by advanced students and teachers of
English grammar.
Dr. Majzoub R. Omer is Assistant Professor of Applied Linguistics at the
College of Women Education, Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
Dr. Ayisha H. Mohamed is Assistant Professor of Applied Linguistics at
