• Sommario/riassunto: Die Monographie zum Thema "Goethe und Rhetorik" schließt an die Untersuchungen zur Transformation der Rhetorik im 18. Jahrhundert an. Am Einzelfall Goethe zeigt sich, wie weitgehend die Literaten des 18. Jahrhunderts noch von einer rhetorischen Bildungstradition geprägt sind. Goethes rhetorische Schriften, aber auch seine literarischen Werke behandeln immer wieder rhetorische Problemlagen, und die Autoren der antiken Rhetoriktradition (Aristoteles, Cicero, Quintilian, Ps.Longin) sind für Goethe genauso bedeutende Bezugsgrößen wie die zeitgenössischen Rhetoriktheoretiker (Gottsched, Johann August und Christian Gottlieb Ernesti), wenn es darum geht, sein literarisches und ästhetisches Selbstverständnis zu formulieren. Untersucht werden die klassischen theoretischen Texte Goethes (etwa die Rede Zum Schäkespears Tag, Von deutscher Baukunst, Einfache Nachahmnung der Natur, Manier, Stil) aber auch ausgewählte Dramen (Tasso, Iphigenie, Faust), die autobiographischen Schriften sowie Meister-Romane.

• Sommario/riassunto: Pierre-Yves Oudeyer combines insights from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and linguistics to explore questions about the origins of speech. He puts forward the startling proposal that speech can be spontaneously generated by the coupling of evolutionarily simple neural structures connecting perception and production. He tests this hypothesis through a computational system and shows that the linking of auditory and vocal motor neural nets produces syntactic rulesthat exhibit the fundamental properties of modern human speech systems. This fascinating account will interest all those interested in the evolution of speech.
