Starting from the observation that German and English show diverging paths in the development of verbal categories, even though they descended from a common ancestor language, the contributions present in-depth, empirically founded studies on the stages and directions of these changes combining historical comparative methods with grammaticalisation theory. This collection of papers provides the reader with an indispensable source of information on the early traces of distinct developments, thus laying the foundation for a broad-scale scenario of the grammaticalisation of verbal categories. The volume will be of particular interest to scholars of language change, grammaticalisation, and diachronic sociolinguistics; it offers important new insights for typologists and for everybody interested in the make-up of verbal categories.

While scholars of seventeenth-century republicanism share their enthusiasm for their field, they have approached their subject in diverse ways. The contributors to the present volume have taken the opportunity to bring these approaches together in a number of case studies covering republican language, republican literary and political culture, and republican religion, to paint a lively picture of the state of the art in republican scholarship. The volume begins with three chapters influenced by the theory and methodology of the linguistic turn, before moving on to address cultural history approaches to English republicanism, including both literary culture and (practical) political culture. The final section of the volume looks at how religion intersected with ideas of republican thought. Taken together the essays demonstrate the vitality and diversity of what was once regarded as a narrow topic of political research.

The concept of postcolonial justice shared by the essays in this volume carries an unwavering commitment to difference within and beyond Europe, while equally rejecting radical cultural essentialisms, which refuse to engage in "utopian ideals" of convivial exchange across a plurality of subject positions. Such utopian ideals can no longer claim universal validity, as in the tradition of the European enlightenment; instead they are bound to local frames of speaking from which they project world.

The volume falls into three main parts. The first part introduces the grammar and some of its contexts, offering information about the Huron-Wendat and Wyandot, the early modern Jesuit mission in New France and the Jesuits’ linguistic output. The heart of the volume is made up by its second part, a text edition of the Elementa. The third part presents some avenues of research by way of specific case studies. N2 - Dieses Buch hat das Ziel, die Elementa grammaticae Huronicae, eine im 18. Jahrhundert vom Jesuiten Pierre-Philippe Potier (1708–1781) erstellte Grammatik der Wendat-Sprache (d.h. des ‘Huronischen’), einem größeren Leserkreis zu eröffnen. Der Band gliedert sich in drei Hauptteile: Der erste Teil bietet eine Einführung zu der Grammatik und einigen relevanten Kontexten, mit Informationen über die Huron-Wendat und Wyandot, die frühneuzeitliche Jesuitenmission in Neufrankreich und die Schriften der Jesuiten auf dem Gebiet des Sprachstudiums. Das Kernstück des Bandes bildet der zweite Teil, eine Textausgabe der Elementa. Im dritten Teil werden anhand von spezifischen Fallstudien einige Forschungswege vorgestellt.
