Subject: Reception of Harald Weinrich's Work
E-mail this message to a friend Dear all,
In Biblical Hebrew linguistics there is a school of thought (its reprsentatives include Wolfgang Schneider, Alviero Niccacci, Eep Talstra) that is deeply influenced by Harald Weinrich’s monograph ''Tempus. Besprochene und erzählte Welt'' (1964). However, outside this group of Hebrew scholars I never meet linguists who follow in Weinrich’s footsteps regarding, e.g. his view on (or rather denial of) the verb forms as expressing tense and/or aspect. Can anyone inform me about the reception of Weinrich’s work on German, French and Spanish, in Germanic, Romanic or general linguistics?
Thanks!
