Morphological Variation
Morphological variation is a rather young, yet fascinating topic to study in its own right because it offers challenging evidence both for the autonomy of morphology (morphomic processes) as well as for its tight interconnection with other grammatical domains, notably phonology and syntax. Covering a wide range of phenomena (e.g. negation structures, form function-mismatches in the verbal and nominal domain, loss of morphosyntactic feature values, etc.), the contributions to this volume combine in-depth empirical studies with the explanatory potential of modern theories of grammar as well as approaches for capturing and modelling microtypological diversity.
Special Onymic Grammar in Typological Perspective
For the first time, proper names are made the topic of a cross-linguistic account of morphosyntactic properties which formally distinguish place names, personal names, and common nouns. It is shown that the behaviour of place names and personal names in morphology and syntax frequently disagrees with the rules established for other word classes independent of the language’s genetic affiliation, grammatical structure, and geographic location. Place names and personal names each boast a grammar of their own. They are candidates for the status of a distinct word class. Their special grammar comes frequently to the fore in the domain of spatial and possessive relations. This fact is explained with reference to functional notions.
Proper Names versus Common Nouns
Recent research has shown that proper names morphosyntactically differ from common nouns in many ways. However, little is known about the morphological and syntactic/distributional differences between proper names and common nouns in less known (Non)-Indo-European languages. This volume brings together contributions which explore morphosyntactic phenomena such as case marking, gender assignment rules, definiteness marking, and possessive constructions from a synchronic, diachronic, and typological perspective. The languages surveyed include Austronesian languages, Basque, English, German, Hebrew, and Romance languages. The volume contributes to a better understanding not only of the contrasts between proper names and common nouns, but also of formal contrasts between different proper name classes such as personal names, place names, and others.
Germanic Genitives
The papers in this volume focus on the dynamics of one specific cell in morphological paradigms – the genitive. The high amount of diachronic and synchronic variation in all Germanic languages makes the genitive a particularly interesting phenomenon since it allows us, for example, to examine comparable but slightly different diachronic pathways, the relation of synchronic and diachronic variation, and the interplay of linguistic levels (phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics). The findings in this book enhance our understanding of the genitive not only by describing its properties, but also by discussing its demarcation from functional competitors and related grammatical items. Under-researched aspects of well-described languages as well as from lesser-known languages (Faroese, Frisian, Luxembourgish, Yiddish) are examined. The papers included are methodologically diverse and the topics covered range from morphology, syntax, and semantics to the influence of (normative) grammars and the perception and prestige of grammatical items.

Grammatik der Namen im Wandel
Eigennamen weisen im Gegenwartsdeutschen im Vergleich zu anderen Substantiven einige grammatische Unterschiede auf, die sich erst in der jüngeren Sprachgeschichte herausgebildet haben. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht dieses spezielle morphosyntaktische Verhalten für die prototypischste Namenklasse, die Personennamen, mit Blick auf die diachrone Entwicklung. So werden im Wesentlichen die Struktur des zweiteiligen Gesamtnamens einer Person, die (De-)Flexion hinsichtlich Kasus und Numerus sowie der Status und die Entwicklung des possessiven -s untersucht und (sprachwandel)theoretisch modelliert. Anhand umfangreicher diachroner und synchroner Korpus-, Fragebogen- und Experimentalstudien wird gezeigt, in welchem zeitlichen Rahmen Personennamen ihre Sonderstellung ausgebaut haben, durch welche Determinanten dies bedingt ist und wie das sukzessive grammatische Abrücken von den Appellativen zu erklären ist. Insgesamt schließt die Arbeit somit eine Forschungslücke innerhalb der (diachronen) Nominalmorphologie des Deutschen.
