No preconditions (theoretical or otherwise) were set, but the authors were encouraged to use the StressTyp data in their chapters. Australian Languages (Rob Goedemans), Austronesian Languages (Ellen van Zanten, Ruben Stoel and Bert Remijsen), Papuan Languages (Ellen van Zanten and Philomena Dol), North American Languages (Keren Rice), South American Languages (Sergio Meira and Leo Wetzels), African Languages (Laura Downing), European Languages (Harry van der Hulst), Asian Languages (Harry van der Hulst and René Schiering), Middle Eastern Languages (Harry van der Hulst and Sam Hellmuth). There is an introductory chapter (Chapter 1) that will provide the reader with elementary terminology and theoretical tools to understand the variety of accentual systems that will be discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. Chapter 2 has a double function. It presents an overview of stress patterns in Australian languages, but at the same time it is intended to (re-)familiarize readers with the coding, terminology and theoretical ideas of the StressTyp database. Chapter 11 presents statistical and typological information from the StressTyp database. Part II of this volume contains 'language profiles' which are, for each of the 511 languages contained in StressTyp (in 2009), extracts from the information that is contained in the database. This volume will be of interest to people in the field of theoretical phonology and language typology. It will function as a reference work for these groups of researchers, but also, more generally, for people working on syntax and other fields of linguistics, who might wish to know certain basic facts about the distribution of word accent systems Linguistic Field(s): Phonology                             Syntax                             Typology Written In: English (eng ) See this book announcement on our website: http://linguistlist.org/pubs/books/get-book.cfm?BookID=52396 Message 2: Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache [German as a Foreign and Second Language]: Krumm, Fandrych, Hufeisen, Riemer (Eds) Date: 21-Dec-2010 From: Julia Ulrich <julia.ulrichdegruyter.com> Subject: Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache [German as a Foreign and Second Language]: Krumm, Fandrych, Hufeisen, Riemer (Eds) E-mail this message to a friend Title: Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache [German as a Foreign and Second Language] Subtitle: Ein internationales Handbuch (2 Halbbände/Volumes) Series Title: Handbücher zur Sprach- und Kommunikationswissenschaft / Handbooks of Linguistics and Communication Science / [HSK] Bd. 35/1+2 Published: 2010 Publisher: De Gruyter Mouton                 http://www.degruyter.com/mouton Book URL: http://www.degruyter.de/cont/fb/sk/skMbwEn.cfm?rc=119196 Editor: Hans-Jürgen Krumm Editor: Christian Fandrych Editor: Britta Hufeisen Editor: Claudia Riemer Electronic: ISBN: 9783110240252 Pages: 822 Price: Europe EURO 329.00 Comment: Volume 2 Electronic: ISBN: 9783110240245 Pages: 1072 Price: Europe EURO 329.00 Comment: Volume 1 Hardback: ISBN: 9783110205084 Pages: 822 Price: Europe EURO 329.00 Comment: Volume 2 Hardback: ISBN: 9783110205077 Pages: 1072 Price: Europe EURO 329.00 Comment: Volume 1 Abstract: The handbook "Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache" summarizes existing knowledge on acquisition and teaching of the German language in different contexts in altogether 234 articles.
