It argues that some marked forms differ from unmarked forms in that they encode modal evaluations of the at-issue meaning. Two epistemic evaluations that can be shown to be encoded by intonation in Spanish are obviousness and mirativity, which present the at-issue meaning as expected and unexpected, respectively. An empirical investigation via a production experiment finds that they are associated with distinct intonational features under constant focus scope, with stances of (dis)agreement showing an impact on obvious declaratives. Wh-exclamatives are found not to differ significantly in intonational marking from neutral declaratives, showing that they need not be miratives. Moreover, we find that intonational marking on different discourse particles in natural dialogue correlates with their meaning contribution without being fully determined by it. In part, these findings quantitatively confirm previous qualitative findings on the meaning of intonational configurations in Madrid Spanish. But they also add new insights on the role intonation plays in the negotiation of commitments and expectations between interlocutors.}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-57691, title = {Linguistic hybridity}, series = {Studia Romanica}, journal = {Studia Romanica}, number = {232}, editor = {Hennemann, Anja and Meisnitzer, Benjamin}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Winter}, address = {Heidelberg}, isbn = {978-3-8253-4936-3}, pages = {229}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This volume deals with different linguistic phenomena representing grammaticalization and lexicalization processes and combines different approaches of contact linguistics and variational linguistics.

Case studies ranging from the German reception of James Cook's voyages through to the legacies of 19th- and 20th- century settler colonialism foreground the highly ambiguous roles played by explorers, missionaries, intellectuals and other individuals, as well as by objects and things that travelled between worlds - ancestral human remains, rare animal skins, songs and even military tanks. The chapters foreground the complex relationship between science, religion, art and exploitation, displacement and annihilation. Contributors trace how these entanglements have been commemorated or forgotten over time - by Germans, settler-Australians and Indigenous people. Bringing to light a critical understanding of the German involvement in the Australian colonial project, Remembering German- Australian Colonial Entanglements will be of great interest to scholars of colonialism, postcolonialism, German Studies and Indigenous Studies.

Der vorliegende Band macht es sich zur Aufgabe, diese vielf{\"a}ltigen transarealen Zirkulationsprozesse zu analysieren und das Potential New Orleans' zur paradigmatischen Metropole des Globalen S{\"u}dens auszuloten. Im Fokus stehen verschiedene Formen der kulturellen Kreolisierung, wie sie sich in der Sprache, der Literatur, der Musik, aber auch in Alltagsph{\"a}nomen wie dem Karneval oder Computerspielen manifestieren. Within the USA, New Orleans has long been considered the 'un-American' city, seen as exotic and different, even as a 'socio-geographical accident'. It is a crossroads not only for the influences of different colonial cultures but also for the routes of the Atlantic slave trade and immigration of Asian workers, and not least for material and non-material transfer between the two Americas. This volume seeks to analyse these manifold transareal circulation processes and to explore New Orleans's potential as a paradigmatic metropolis of the Global South. The focus is on different forms of creolisation as manifested in language, literature and music, but also in everyday phenomena such as Carnival or computer games.}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-10490, title = {Evidentiality revisited : Cognitive grammar, functional and discourse-pragmatic perspectives}, editor = {Haßler, Gerda and Mar{\´i}n Arese, Juana and Carretero, Marta}, edition = {1}, publisher = {John Benjamins Publishing Company}, address = {Amsterdam, Philadelphia}, isbn = {978-90-272-5676-8}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {317}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-33923, title = {European contexts for english republicanism}, series = {Politics and culture in Europa, 1650 - 1750}, journal = {Politics and culture in Europa, 1650 - 1750}, editor = {Mahlberg, Gaby and Wiemann, Dirk}, publisher = {Ashgate Publishing Ltd}, address = {Farnham}, isbn = {978-140-945-556-1}, pages = {XI, 273 S.}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-33739, title = {Views of the cordilleras and monuments of the indigenous peoples of the Americas : a critical edition}, editor = {Kutzinski, Vera M. and Ette, Ottmar}, publisher = {University of Chicago Press}, address = {Chicago}, isbn = {0-226-86506-1}, pages = {618 S.}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-33587, title = {Caribbean(s) on the move : archipi{\´e}lagos literarios del Caribe ; a TransArea Symposium}, editor = {Ette, Ottmar}, publisher = {Lang}, address = {Frankfurt am Main}, isbn = {978-3-631-56716-6}, pages = {165 S.}, year = {2008}, language = {en} }
