Zarathustra and the Ethical Ideal
Author(s): Robert H. CousineauPublication Date January 1991More LessThis work defines its course in reference to Nietzsche's Also Sprach Zarathustra. The author uses Zarathustra to reflect how our understanding is wedded to affective modes, thematizing especially laughter, fear, awe and hope. The book invites us to rethink how to overcome some relevant impasses of contemporary analytic, hermeneutic and (post)deconstructionist thought. The author seeks the dialogue with the texts and the reader and gradually brings to the fore the ethical. In the words of the author: Most works on Nietzsche talk about him, few address him, much less invite the reader to walk with him. It is time for a dialogical itinerary.

Zur Geschichte der deutschen Sprache
Author(s): Wilhelm SchererPublication Date December 1995More LessWilhelm Scherer (1841-1886) has gained wide recognition for his extraordinary accomplishments in linguistics as well as in literary studies.
His first and most important contribution to the development of linguistic science was his monumental work of 508 pages Zur Geschichte der deutschen Sprache, published in 1868.
His stated objective was “to subject all aspects of the Germanic grammar to a new treatment.” While such a wording sounds rather modest, the actual implementation in his book, if viewed within the framework of his time, might very appropriately be called revolutionary. He broke with August Schleicher’s distinction between ‘development’ (in prehistorical time) and ‘decay’ (in historical time) in the history of language and replaced it with his notion of continuous, uninterrupted development. His survey of the relevant literature of his time is almost exhaustive, and his findings serve as the solid stepping stone for his own advances.
To facilitate reading, the editor has supplied an index of names (with life dates), a complete listing of the literature referred to by Scherer as well as an introduction to Scherer’s life and his general scholarly achievements.

Zur Phonologie und Morphologie des Altniederländischen
Editor(s): Rolf H. Bremmer, Jr. and Arend QuakPublication Date January 1992More LessUnter den Übersichten über die ältesten germanischen Sprachen vermißt man oft das Altniederländische. Es wird ihm höchstens ein sehr bescheidener Platz unter der Bezeichnung 'Altnieder fränkisch' eingeräumt. Als Folge der namentlich deutschen historischen Sprachforschung des 19. Jahrhunderts betrachtet man das Altniederfränkische meistens als eine der deutschen Mundarten und nicht als selbständigen Zweig neben den anderen kontinentalen westgermanischen Sprachen: Altfriesisch, Altsächsisch und Althochdeutsch. Eine andere Betrachtungsweise ist durchaus möglich und gar wünschenswert. Maurits Gysseling und Arend Quak zeigen in diesem Band, daß das spärliche Material – hauptsächlich Namen und die Wachtendonckschen Psalmen – eine ausreichende Grundlage bieten, um zu einer einigermaßen ausgebauten Phonologie und Morphologie des Altniederländischen zu kommen. Dieses Buch ist somit nicht nur ein Ansatz zu weiterer Forschung des Altniederländischen als solches. Es bildet zugleich die Grundlage für vergleichende Zwecke.
