Previous studies suggest that there are special timing relations in syllable onsets. The consonants are assumed to be timed, on the one hand, with the vocalic nucleus and, on the other hand, with each other. These competing timing relations result in the C-center effect. However, the C-center effect has not consistently been found in languages with complex onsets. Moreover, it has occasionally been found in languages disallowing complex onsets. The present study investigates onset timing in German while discussing alternative explanations (not related to bonding) for the timing patterns observed. Six German speakers were recorded via Electromagnetic Articulography. The corpus contained items with four clusters (/sk/, /kv/, /gl/, and /pl/). The clusters occur in word-initial position, word-medial position, and across a word boundary preceding different vowels. The results suggest that segmental properties (i.e., oral-laryngeal coordination, coarticulatory resistance) determine the observed timing patterns, and specifically the absence or presence of the C-center effect.

In the Posthomerica references to an omnipotent fate or to the power of the gods are strikingly frequent. Modern scholarship has often treated this as Stoic. Closer reading reveals that Quintus is, on the one hand, following the Homeric concept of double motivation, according to which humans can be motivated by a deity only to an act that conforms to their character and for which they are responsible. On the other hand, Quintus gives these statements on responsibility to characters who are trying to excuse their own acts to themselves and, particularly, to others, i.e. they are motivated contextually. It would be non-Stoic to excuse oneself for a bad deed by reference to an almighty fate. It seems that Quintus, by presenting this tension, wanted the reader to reconsider and reflect
on the different concepts.
Unfälle der Sprache
(2014)
Der Begriff »Katastrophe« hat in unserer Alltags- und Mediensprache Hochkonjunktur. Was in der Abfolge von Kriegen, Attentaten, Erdbeben, Vulkanausbrüchen und Tsunamis als »Katastrophe« bezeichnet wird, verlangt nach einer zugespitzten Analyse. In der Literaturwissenschaft wird der Ausdruck als Bezeichnung für das schreckliche Unglück verwendet, mit dem eine Tragödie endet. Die »Strophe« bezeichnet dabei ursprünglich die körperliche Drehung, mit welcher der Chor in der antiken Tragödie seinen Gesang begleitete, bevor etwas Neues beginnt ..
