Aufgrund des Zusammenwirkens der funktional-semantischen Kategorien Temporalit{\"a}t, Aspektualit{\"a}t und Modalit{\"a}t wird der Perfektgebrauch hinsichtlich dieser Kategorien analysiert. Es wird angenommen, dass sich das Perfekt im Spanischen und Deutschen nicht nur in Bezug auf seine temporalen und aspektuellen Werte, sondern auch hinsichtlich seiner modal-evidentiellen Werte und Ausdrucksweisen unterscheidet. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, die spezifischen temporalen und aspektuellen Bedeutungen dieses Vergangenheitstempus in der jeweiligen Sprache herauszustellen, kontrastiv zu betrachten und zu zeigen, inwiefern Perfektformen als Evidentialit{\"a}tsmarker fungieren k{\"o}nnen. Der modal-evidentiellen Bedeutung des Perfekts kommt in dieser Arbeit eine zentrale Rolle zu, da insbesondere hinsichtlich der deutschen Perfekt-Konstruktionen noch wenige Forschungsans{\"a}tze vorliegen. Die modalen und evidentiellen Bedeutungen des Perfekts werden in beiden Sprachen in der Schriftsprache unter Einbezug der Erkenntnisse der RAE (2009), Wachtmeister-Berm{\´u}dez (2005) und Diewald (2011) diskutiert und anhand von Beispielen aus spanischen und deutschen Pressetexten des CREA sowie der Zeit Online und S{\"u}ddeutsche Zeitung belegt. Als Ergebnis dieser Untersuchung l{\"a}sst sich feststellen, dass das Perfekt in beiden Sprachen als Evidentialit{\"a}tsmarker dienen und verschiedene Arten von Evidenz markieren kann. Die Relevanz der kontrastiven Betrachtung kommt in zwei signifikanten Forschungsbereichen zum Tragen: zum Einen bei der {\"U}bersetzung, da die temporalen, aspektuellen und modal-evidentiellen Werte des Perfekts in der jeweiligen Sprache beachtet werden m{\"u}ssen und zum Anderen in der Fremdsprachendidaktik, da das Perfekt verschiedene Stellenwerte in den einzelnen Verbalsystemen einnimmt.}, language = {de} } @article{SzagunSchramm2018, author = {Szagun, Gisela and Schramm, Satyam Antonio}, title = {Lexically driven or early structure building?}, series = {First language}, volume = {39}, journal = {First language}, number = {1}, publisher = {Sage Publ.}, address = {London}, issn = {0142-7237}, doi = {10.1177/0142723718761414}, pages = {61 -- 79}, year = {2018}, abstract = {This study examines the role of the lexicon and grammatical structure building in early grammar. Parent-report data in CDI format from a sample of 1151 German-speaking children between 1;6 and 2;6 and longitudinal spontaneous speech data from 22 children between 1;8 and 2;5 were used. Regression analysis of the parent-report data indicates that grammatical words have a stronger influence on concurrent syntactic complexity than lexical words. Time-lagged correlations using the spontaneous speech data showed that lexical words at 1;8 predict subsequent MLU at 2;1 significantly; grammatical words do not. MLU at 2;5 is significantly predicted by grammatical words and no longer by lexical words. The influence of different grammatical subcategories on subsequent MLU varies. Use of articles and the copula at 2;1 most strongly predicts MLU at 2;5. Children use both types of articles and multiple determiners before a noun to the same extent as adults. The present results are suggestive of early grammatical structure building.}, language = {en} } @book{VanHalVanLoonMercelisetal.2023, author = {Van Hal, Toon and Van Loon, Zanna and Mercelis, Wouter and Steckley, John and Peetermans, Andy and Van Rooy, Raf and Dionne, Fannie}, title = {Anchored in ink}, editor = {Van Loon, Zanna and Steckley, John and Van Hal, Toon and Peetermans, Andy}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-516-3}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-51306}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-513062}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {448}, year = {2023}, abstract = {This book serves as a gateway to the Elementa grammaticae Huronicae, an eighteenth-century grammar of the Wendat ('Huron') language by Jesuit Pierre-Philippe Potier (1708-1781).

The questionnaire is mostly concerned with clause typing in embedded clauses, but main clause counterparts are also considered for comparative purposes. The chief aim was to achieve comparable results across Germanic languages, though the standardised questionnaire may also be helpful in the study of other languages, too. Most questions examine the availability of various complementisers and clause-typing operators, and in some cases the movement of verbs to the left periphery is also taken into account. The questionnaire is split into seven major parts according to the types of clauses under scrutiny. All instructions were given in English and the individual questions either concern translations of given sentences from English into the target language, and/or they ask for specific details about the constructions in the target language. The present document contains the questionnaire itself (together with the instructions given at the beginning of the questionnaire and at the beginning of the individual sections, as well as the questions asking for personal data), the sociolinguistic data of the speakers, and the actual results for the individual languages. Five Germanic languages are included: Dutch, Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish. For each language, two informants were recruited. Given the small number of informants, the present study serves as a qualitative investigation and as a basis for further, quantitative and experimental studies.}, language = {en} } @article{JędrzejowskiDemske2017, author = {Jędrzejowski, Łukasz and Demske, Ulrike}, title = {Infinitival patterns and their diachronic dynamics: questions and challenges}, series = {Infinitives at the Syntax-Semantics Interface: a Diachronic Perspective (Trends in Linguistics.

This paper looks into the history of German: Common knowledge has it that both the use of verbal mood as well as the quality of clause linkage undergo considerable changes giving rise to the question how these changes affect the manifestations of indirect reported speech in earlier stages of German. The historical record of the 16th century (with an outlook on the 17th century) shows that the distinction between direct and indirect reported speech is not yet grammaticalized in historical sources at the time. In particular with respect to dependent (in)direct reported speech, both types prefer V2-complements with only verbal mood differentiating between the types. Although present and past subjunctive have a much wider distribution in earlier stages of German, the occurrence of free indirect speech likewise testifies to its increasing use as a marker of indirect reported speech. The growing conventionalization of patterns of indirect reported speech in the course of Early Modern German may be considered as an example for an increase of subjectification in its development.}, language = {de} } @misc{OPUS4-44332, title = {The Diachrony of Infinitival Patterns}, series = {Journal of Historical Linguistics}, volume = {2015}, journal = {Journal of Historical Linguistics}, number = {5.1}, editor = {Demske, Ulrike and Jędrzejowski, Łukasz}, publisher = {Benjamins}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {2210-2116 print}, doi = {10.1075/jhl.5.1}, pages = {174}, year = {2015}, abstract = {According to Haider (2010), we have to distinguish three types of infinitival complements in Present-Day German: (i) CP complements, (ii) VP complements and (iii) verbal clusters.
