Christoph Schroeder entdeckt den Religionsphilosophen Georg Picht neu.

Die Arbeit untersucht die Geopolitik, die ursprünglich auf militärstrategischen Überlegungen basierte. Ein zentrales Element ist die Heartland-Theorie von Sir Halford Mackinder, die im Detail analysiert wird. Diese Theorie thematisiert die Notwendigkeit militärischer Eingriffe von Nationen und beleuchtet deren geopolitische Implikationen. Die Studie bietet einen tiefen Einblick in die Entwicklung und Relevanz geopolitischer Strategien im Kontext der Humangeographie und Geoinformatik.

This volume offers descriptive and theoretical studies on depictive secondary predicates in a wide variety of languages. While the focus is on the Middle and Eastern European area, including Slavonic, Baltic, Finno-Ugric, Turkic and Caucasian languages, and on languages of the Balkan Area, the scope of the collection is widened to studies of secondary predication in German and English, in the languages of Morocco and in Classical Aztec. The chapters deal with typological issues of secondary predicates and their debatable universality, with problems of distinguishing secondary predicates from other syntactic categories, with their syntactic status and their distinctive morphological marking. The published papers evolved from papers read at an international symposium on 'Descriptive an theoretical problems of secondary predicates, with emphasis on Middle and Eastern European languages', held at the University of Oldenburg, December 7-10, 2005.

Based on a corpus of spoken Standard Turkish, and looking from an explicitly discourse-oriented angle, the study explores certain phenomena related to the Turkish nominal phrase. Under close investigation are the use of the indefinite article BIR and the classifier TANE in the introduction of referents in the discourse, the topic-related function of both plural agreement between subject and verb and the post-predicate position in the sentence, as well as the use of the possessive suffix in the establishment of anaphoric relationships. In studying these phenomena, the author tries to evaluate both the explanatory power of pragmatic functions and the interplay between semantic and pragmatic functions within the “multi-motivatedness” of grammar. Concentrating on the spoken language, the book highlights a much-neglected field in Turkish Linguistics, while at the same time contributing to the discourse-oriented discussion within General Linguistics.
