First, the theoretical basis is outlined, followed by the results of a corpus analysis of coccurrences with adverbs that limit situations. The term situation encompasses all representable processes, states, events, or actions. Finally, some theoretical conclusions are drawn concerning the cognitive category of bounding, using the example of aspectuality. The imperfective verb forms maintain their aspectuality in delimiting connections with adverbs, resulting in a complex, multi-dimensional aspectuality. In nongrammaticalized forms, such as lexical markers, the speaker is free to make a temporal localization or an aspectual perspective. Lexical expressions can make temporal and aspect markings even more precisely and clearly than tenses. They can also limit or extend situations and thus express aspect. Aspectuality thus presents itself as a compositional category, in which external bounding and the internal representation of a course of action or development can interact.}, language = {en} } @article{Hassler2022, author = {Haßler, Gerda}, title = {Meaning and Function}, series = {Concordia discors vs. discordia concors : researches into comparative literature, contrastive linguistics, translation and cross-cultural strategies}, volume = {16}, journal = {Concordia discors vs. discordia concors : researches into comparative literature, contrastive linguistics, translation and cross-cultural strategies}, number = {2}, publisher = {Ştefan cel Mare University Press}, address = {Suceava}, issn = {2065-4057}, pages = {17 -- 50}, year = {2022}, abstract = {The use of the word functional in the most diverse theories and approaches has contributed in no small measure to the confusion in linguistics today.

The Ideologues had a rather reserved attitude to Condillac's (1714-1780) ideas and his sensualist sign theory. They strove for the perfection of language for the needs of thought and of scientific knowledge. The connections with the Ideologues can also be discerned in Russia. In the educational theory, Jean-Baptiste Maudru (1740-1808) was close to the Ideologues and, despite his insufficient knowledge of the Russian language, made some interesting remarks on the connection between the language and the national character. According to Maudru and in agreement with the Ideologues, different typologies of word order are not just an indication of greater or lesser closeness to the natural order. Rather, they indicate differences in national character, which manifest themselves in the specific character of individual languages. Maudru taught at the military academy in Saint Petersburg and published the first Russian grammar in France (Maudru 1802). In his grammar, he sought to link mechanically the specific features of languages and of national characters with the climatic influences. His attempt to revive the theory of climatic influences was criticized by Karamzin. Karamzin also treated the discussion of the metaphoric extension of word meanings as an absurd undertaking, which had no place in grammar.}, language = {en} } @article{Hassler2020, author = {Haßler, Gerda}, title = {Humboldts Konzept einer sprachlichen Weltansicht und seine Stellung in der Geschichte des sprachlichen Relativismus}, series = {Aesthetics and Politics in Wilhelm von Humboldt}, volume = {6}, journal = {Aesthetics and Politics in Wilhelm von Humboldt}, number = {1}, publisher = {Universit{\`a} di Pisa}, address = {Pisa}, issn = {2465-1060}, pages = {21 -- 63}, year = {2020}, abstract = {The idea of a linguistic worldview was clearly expressed in German national romantic thought of the early 19th century, where language was seen as the expression of the spirit of a nation. Wilhelm von Humboldt argued that every language shaped the world-view of its speakers, but he also saw a possibility to improve human knowledge in the co-action of languages. The idea of linguistic relativity can be found in John Locke's statement that words interpose themselves between our understandings and the truth which it would contemplate and apprehend. In the 18th century, we can find formulations that our language accustoms us to arrange our ideas in a specific way, that some languages are more suitable for certain kinds of thought, or that metaphors have significant influence on peoples' thought. In the 20thcentury the Neo-Humboldtian school revitalised the idea of an influence of language on thought in a reductionist way. At the end of the 20th century, some authors, for example John J. Gumperz and Stephen C.

The author, Joseph de Maimieux (1753-1820), is said to have coined the term pasigraphie. With the invention of pasigraphy, Maimieux pursued the goal of creating a conceptually based writing system that could be applied to all languages. In this way, a text written in this script could be read in all languages. The pasigraphic system is based on an a priori system of conceptual classification to which written characters are assigned. It is therefore initially an exclusively written language, on which Maimieux two years later also built a spoken language with the Pasilalie. The first arguments against the endeavour represented by the Pasigraphie were brought forward by Maimieux' immediate contemporaries, the ideologues. These objections were re-affirmed in particular by Johann Severin Vater. The decisive difference between Maimieux and his critics lies in the determination of the role of signs in the formation of concepts. While for Maimieux the signs only name the finished concepts, his critics argued that signs have a function in the constitution of the concepts. A universal language is therefore ultimately not possible, since there are no universal concepts and the individual languages lead to different conceptual structures.}, language = {es} } @article{Hassler2019, author = {Haßler, Gerda}, title = {Modalit{\´e} et polyphonie}, series = {Quinze {\´e}tudes de cas sur les modalit{\´e}s linguistiques / Fifteen Case Studies on Types of Linguistic Modalities}, volume = {{\´E}pilogos}, journal = {Quinze {\´e}tudes de cas sur les modalit{\´e}s linguistiques / Fifteen Case Studies on Types of Linguistic Modalities}, number = {6}, publisher = {Universit{\´e} de Rouen Normandie}, address = {Rouen}, isbn = {978-2-919501-07-6}, pages = {183 -- 200}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Dans cette {\´e}tude du grec ancien, nous souhaitons souligner deux particularit{\´e}s peu remarqu{\´e}es de l'adjectif verbal en -τέος, toutes deux li{\´e}es {\`a} la modalit{\´e} d{\´e}ontique.

In linguistics, restrictions of the research object were made, invoking the notion of 'epiphenomenon', which was partially done with a polemical attitude, and was always responded to polemically. The best-known definition of languages as an epiphenomenon is that proposed by Chomsky, who declared that the specific realisations of language do not warrant scientific attention, but there were early relegations of properties of individual languages to the domain of an epiphenomenon of grammar, to the domain of an art and not a science. These relegations from a certain point of abstraction did advance theories of language, even though they took a point of abstraction that did not correspond to the complexity of language.}, language = {de} }
