While we deem this critical perspective indispensable, we simultaneously maintain that to reduce 'the world' to the world-making impact of capital, colonialism, and patriarchy paints an overly deterministic picture that runs the risk of unwittingly reproducing precisely that dominant 'oneworldness' that it aims to critique. Moreover, the mere potentiality of alternative modes of world-making tends to disappear in such a perspective so that the only remaining option to think beyond oneworldness resides in the singularity claim. This insistence on singularity, however, leaves the relatedness of the single units massively underdetermined or denies it altogether. By contrast, we locate world literature in the conflicted space between the imperial imposition of a hierarchically stratified world (to which, as hegemonic forces tell us, 'there is no alternative') and the unrealized 'undivided world' that multiple minor cosmopolitan projects yet have to win. It is precisely the tension between these 'two worlds' that brings into view the crucial centrality not of the nodes in their alleged singularity but their specific relatedness to each other, that both impedes and energizes world literature today and renders it ineluctably postcolonial.}, language = {en} } @article{Schroeer2022, author = {Schr{\"o}er, Marie}, title = {Illustrated personalities}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Germanistik}, volume = {32}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Germanistik}, number = {2}, publisher = {Lang}, address = {Bern}, issn = {0323-7982}, doi = {10.3726/92171_352}, pages = {352 -- 372}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Bio-Comics (or comic biographies) are becoming increasingly popular and are widely discussed in the media.

It is shown that the so-called focus marker expresses exhaustivity when it occurs in a sentence with narrow focus. The study employs four standard tests for exhaustivity proposed in the literature to examine the semantics of Akan focus constructions (Szabolsci 1981, 1994; {\´E}. Kiss 1998; Hartmann and Zimmermann 2007). It is shown that although a focused entity with the so-called focus marker nà is interpreted to mean 'only X and nothing/nobody else,' this meaning appears to be pragmatic.}, language = {en} } @article{Fominyam2015, author = {Fominyam, Henry Z.}, title = {The Syntax of Focus and Interrogation in Awing}, series = {Interdisciplinary studies on information structure : ISIS ; working papers of the SFB 632}, journal = {Interdisciplinary studies on information structure : ISIS ; working papers of the SFB 632}, number = {19}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1614-4708}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-83755}, pages = {29 -- 62}, year = {2015}, abstract = {According to Aikhenvald (2007:5), descriptive linguistics or linguistic fieldwork "ideally involves observing the language as it is used, becoming a member of the community, and often being adopted into the kinship system". Descriptive linguistics therefore differs from theoretical linguistics in that while the former seeks to describe natural languages as they are used, the latter, other than describing, attempts to give explanations on how or why language phenomena behave in certain ways.
