Sommario/riassunto

A systematic description of the semantics of connectives is a challenge that linguists have yet to answer. In order to define semantic classes such as "causal", "concessive", "temporal" according to objectivizable criteria, to classify them, and to describe their relationship to one another, it is important to consider the polysemy phenomena of connectives. The interaction with syntactic, information-structural and intonational structure must also be examined. It was the goal of a colloquium at the Institut für Deutsche Sprache [German Language



Institute] in December 2002 to present itself with this challenge. Their results are presented collectively in this volume. The contributions all have in common the reference to the Handbuch der deutschen Konnektoren [Handbook of German Connectives], which, with its extensive description of the syntax of connectives, offers an up-to-date starting point for a survey of semantics. The contributions, which interactively refer to one another, are divided into four chapters. In Chapter A, interfaces are described from a grammar-theoretical, syntactic and logical viewpoint and substantiated by way of examples. Chapter B is dedicated to the temporal connectives with a focus on ambiguities (i.e. of the German connectives während, bevor, nachdem) and the establishment of the paradigms that structure the temporal field. In Chapter C, "Contrast Connectives", adversative and concessive connectives and their differentiation from one another and from additive connectives are discussed. This chapter also presents suggestions for a minimalistic, semantic description of ways of reading German aber. Chapter D is dedicated to the causal connectives. In addition to a revision of the causality concept, this chapter mainly includes suggestions for the restructuring of the causal field, for instance, through the introduction of a class mainly based on the indication of inferences.

Eine systematische Beschreibung der Semantik von Konnektoren stellt für Linguisten eine bisher nicht eingelöste Herausforderung dar: Um semantische Klassen wie "kausal", "konzessiv", "temporal" nach objektivierbaren Kriterien zu definieren, zu gliedern und ihr Verhältnis zueinander zu beschreiben, müssen Polysemiephänomene bei Konnektoren berücksichtigt und muss die Interaktion mit der syntaktischen, informationsstrukturellen und intonatorischen Struktur erfasst werden. Sich dieser Aufgabe zu stellen war Ziel eines Kolloquiums am Institut für Deutsche Sprache im Dezember 2002, dessen Ergebnisse in diesem Band versammelt sind. Gemeinsam ist den Beiträgen der Bezug auf das "Handbuch der deutschen Konnektoren", das mit seiner umfassenden Darstellung der Konnektorensyntax einen aktuellen Ausgangspunkt für die Erfassung der Semantik bietet. Die Beiträge, die wechselseitig aufeinander Bezug nehmen, gliedern sich in vier Kapitel: In Kapitel A werden aus grammatiktheoretischer, syntaktischer und logischer Sicht Schnittstellen beleuchtet und an Beispielen konkretisiert. Kapitel B widmet sich den temporalen Konnektoren; im Zentrum stehen dabei Mehrdeutigkeiten (etwa von während, bevor, nachdem) und die Herausarbeitung von Parametern, die das Temporalfeld gliedern. In Kapitel C, Kontrastkonnektoren, werden adversative und konzessive Konnektoren, ihre Abgrenzung gegeneinander und zu additiven Konnektoren behandelt und es werden Vorschläge für eine bedeutungsminimalistische Beschreibung von aber-Lesarten gemacht. Kapitel D ist den kausalen Konnektoren gewidmet. Neben einer Revision des Kausalitätsbegriffs stehen hier vor allem Vorschläge zur Neugliederung des Kausalfeldes, etwa durch Einführung einer Klasse, die wesentlich auf der Indikation von Schlussfolgerungen beruht.

Sommario/riassunto

The Black Mind was first published in 1974. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. The comprehensive account of the development of African literature from its beginnings in oral tradition to its contemporary expression in the writings of Africans in various African and European languages provides insight, both broad and deep, into the Black intellect. Professor Dathorne examines the literature of Africans as spoken or written in their local languages and in Latin, French, Portuguese, and English. This extensive survey and interpretation gives the reader a remarkable pathway to an understanding of the Black imagination and its relevance to thought and creativity throughout the world. The author himself lived in Africa for ten years, and his view in not that of an outsider, since it is as a Black man that he speaks about Black people. Throughout the book, a major theme is the demonstration that, despite slavery and colonialism, Africans remained very close to their own cultures. Professor Dathorne shows that African writers may be, like some Afro-American writers, "marginal men," but that they are Black men and it is as Black men that they feel the nostalgia of their past and the corrosive influences of their present. The chapters are divided into sections: Tradition; Heritage; The Presence of Europe; and Crosscurrents. In the final chapters the author extends the thread of continuity to the New World-Africa as



present in the work of Black writers in the United States and in the Caribbean.
