Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the coding of the three coordination relations of combination, contrast and alternative between states of affairs on the basis of a 74 language sample, with special focus on the languages spoken in Europe. It constitutes the first systematic inquiry so far conducted on the cross-linguistic coding of coordination, as defined in cognitive and pragmatic terms. This research shows that the 'and-but-or' coding system which is typical of Central-Western Europe appears to be extremely rare outside Europe, where a great variation in the coding of coordination is attested. This cross-linguistic variation, however, is not random, but is crucially constrained by the interaction of economic principles with the semantic properties of the individual relations expressed. A fine-grained functional systematization of



coordination is proposed and described by means of implicational patterns and semantic maps. This work brings together a broad cross-linguistic perspective and a detailed semantic analysis, largely based on new and comparable data collected by means of questionnaires, all accessible in the appendix of the book. It represents the first systematic attempt towards a unified typology of coordination relations.

Sommario/riassunto

Die beiden Hans-Lietzmann-Vorlesungen der Jahre 2009 und 2013 behandeln die frühchristliche Literatur in Beziehung zu ihrem antiken Umfeld, sowie deren Status als Literatur und die Relation zur Rhetorik- und Geistesgeschichte. Außerdem wird den Fragen nachgegangen, welche Verbindung zwischen christlicher Literatur und der Geschichte des römischen Reiches besteht und wie sich das Christentum in diesem entwickelte.

Hans Lietzmann was not only a great scholar of the early church, but was also interested in early Christian literature and its value to the



historian. However, although there is a large body of scholarship on patristic studies and theology, little attention has been paid even now to literary, as opposed to rhetorical, analysis. Some scholars are now trying to address the problem, which is both methodological and intellectual. This publication discusses the issues involved, and suggests new ways of applying literary readings to early Christian texts. Are we entering a new age of interpretation of the massive literary production by early Christians, and how does this relate to the traditional disciplines of patristics and church history?
