This book examines the language policies in the constitutions, legal statutes, and regulations of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland. In these countries and territories, modern descendants of Old Norse (North Germanic) are spoken today: Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese. In addition, there are regions of Scandinavia where speakers of minority languages were conquered or incorporated, with their languages suppressed or neglected, as well as recent developments in the status and use of English, and immigrant populations who do not speak a Scandinavian language as their native language. This book adopts a comparative approach to trace the development of language policies and rights in Scandinavia, and it will be of interest to students as well as scholars of European and Scandinavian studies, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, education, political science, and law.

The Finnish language is perhaps best known for its rich case system. Depending on the definition of a case, Finnish has at least fourteen, possibly fifteen or even more cases. This volume is the first comprehensive English-language account of the Finnish case system, focusing primarily on its semantic functions. This collection of articles presents an up-to-date overview of the Finnish case system, analyses central subsystems within it, and offers data-based analyses of the functions of individual cases. The authors approach Finnish cases from different perspectives within the framework of Cognitive Linguistics. The volume also addresses more general topics, such as the notion of case, questions of polysemy, the traditional division of cases into grammatical and semantic, the relationship between inflection and derivation as well as the role of inflection in the structuring of the categories of adpositions and adverbs. The book will be of interest to linguists and students as well as to those readers who are not familiar with cognitive linguistics. The analyses presented here will be relevant to anyone investigating the essence of case and the emergence of linguistic meaning.

Der kürzlich verstorbene Giovanni Stary (1946-2022) war einer der bedeutendsten zeitgenössischen Mandschuristen. Er studierte Mandschu, die Sprache des von 1644-1912 in China regierenden Kaiserhauses, bei Walter Fuchs (1902-1979) in Köln und wurde dann Professor für Mandschu an der Universität Venedig. Er war ein eifriger Publizist, gab mehrere Schriftenreihen heraus und Schriftleiter des Central Asiatic Journal, lieferte Beiträge zu vielen internationalen Konferenzen und arbeite mit Kollegen weltweit, besonders Ostasien und Rußland zusammen. Nach einem Schlaganfall war er in seinen Arbeitsmöglichkeiten sehr eingeschränkt - der hier vorgelegte Briefwechsel mit dem Herausgeber dokumentiert, wie er versuchte, aus der neuen Lebenssituation das Beste zu machen und wissenschaftliche Kontakte zu halten. Mit Register.
