The Oxford Encyclopedia of Germanic Linguistics

Projektbeschreibung

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Germanic Linguistics is a carefully curated, peer-reviewed collection of articles that will appear online as part of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Linguistics as well as a thematic set in print. It will offer a comprehensive survey of Germanic languages, combining a comparative approach with historical, variationist, and typological perspectives, including the newest trends in research methods, such as corpus linguistics, and psycholinguistics, and treating the status of Germanic languages in grammatical theorizing. Led by Editors in Chief Sebastian Kürschner and Antje Dammel, the encyclopedia will cover a wide range of topics, including an overview of the Germanic family and its history; detailed portraits of the individual languages; phonology, morphology, writing systems and syntax; variationist perspectives including dialectology and sociolinguistics; language contact; methodologies and future research directions.
