Abstract:

Designed as a contribution to contrastive linguistics, the present volume
brings up-to-date the comparison of German with its closest neighbour, Dutch,
and other Germanic relatives like English, Afrikaans, and the Scandinavian
languages. It takes its inspiration from the idea of a "Germanic Sandwich",
i.e. the hypothesis that sets of genetically related languages diverge in
systematic ways in diverse domains of the linguistic system. Its contributions
set out to test this approach against new phenomena or data from synchronic,
diachronic and, for the first time in a Sandwich-related volume,
psycholinguistic perspectives. With topics ranging from nickname formation to
the IPP (aka 'Ersatzinfinitiv'), from the grammaticalisation of the definite
article to /s/-retraction, and from the role of verb-second order in the
acquisition of L2 English to the psycholinguistics of gender, the volume
appeals to students and specialists in modern and historical linguistics,
psycholinguistics, translation studies, language pedagogy and cognitive
science, providing a wealth of fresh insights into the relationships of German
with its closest relatives while highlighting the potential inherent in the
integration of different methodological traditions.
