• Nota di contenuto: Frontmatter -- Inhalt -- Wortarten und Grammatikalisierung -- Das Verb als Wortkategorie des Deutschen. Zum Verhältnis von synthetischen und analytischen Formen -- Wortarten oder sprachliche Felder, Wortartenwechsel oder Feldtransposition? -- Conversion and derivation in different part-of-speech systems -- Gram, construction, and class formation -- Wort-Arten aus Nähe und Distanz -- Verwendungen und Funktionen des Relationsadjektivs im Spanischen und Deutschen, einige kontrastive Betrachtungen -- Das Relationsadjektiv -- Wortarten-Erwerb durch Induktion -- Backmatter
• Sommario/riassunto: Zweck des Sammelbandes ist es, eine Debatte über das Verhältnis zwischen Grammatikalisierungsprozessen und Wortartensystemen zu eröffnen. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, wie sich diachrone Grammatikalisierungsprozesse und synchrone Grammatikalitätshierarchien zur lexikalisch-grammatischen Kategorialisierung des Wortbestandes in natürlichen Sprachen (= Wortartensystemen) verhalten. Während das Wortartensystem üblicherweise bloß als externes Bezugssystem für Grammatikalisierungsprozesse betrachtet wird, wird in den Beiträgen ; dieses Bandes nach der Grammatikalisierung der Wortarten selbst (in Sprachsystem und Spracherwerb) gefragt.

• Sommario/riassunto: Extracts from the speech of three women with Alzheimer's Disease are analyzed in order to highlight functions of pauses, fillers, placeholders, ; and formulaic phrases. Although other features of their speech decline, placeholders, fillers and formulaic sequences are still used appropriately and help cement interaction by providing appropriate cues to the conversational partner. The analysis is placed within the context of analyses of pauses in disordered conversations. Keywords: Alzheimer's disease, pauses, fillers, placeholders, formulaicity.
