This edited book examines silence and silencing in and out of discourse, as viewed through a variety of contexts such as historical archives, day-to-day conversations, modern poetry, creative writing clubs, and visual novels, among others. The contributions engage with the historical shifts in how silence and silencing have been viewed, conceptualized and recorded throughout the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, then present a series of case studies from disciplines including linguistics, history, literature and culture, and geographical settings ranging from Argentina to the Philippines, Nigeria, Ireland, Morocco, Japan, South Africa, and Vietnam. Through these examples, the authors underline the thematic and methodological contact zones between different fields and traditions, providing a stimulating and truly interdisciplinary volume that will be of interest to scholars across the humanities.

In den Gutachten zum ersten umfassenden Reformversuch (1787-1792) uber die Bestimmung der burgerlichen Verhaltnisse der Juden in Preuen hatten sich die Offiziere aus den Militardepartements eindeutig gegen eine Militarpflicht und gegen eine rechtliche Gleichstellung ausgesprochen. Fur sie blieb die Assimilation mit den christlichen Untertanen die Vorbedingung fur eine rechtliche Emanzipation. Auch in der zweiten Reformphase (1808-1812), den Vorarbeiten zum preuischen Emanzipationsedikt von 1812, votierten die Offiziere nicht fur den aktiven Militardienst der Juden in Preuen. Die Autorin erforscht die moglichen Grunde fur diese ablehnenden Voten anhand der Schriften von funf einflussreichen Offizieren, die sich uber ihre Begegnungen mit preuischen und polnischen Juden auerten: Wichard J. H. von Mollendorff, Friedrich L. von Schrotter, Gerhard von Scharnhorst, Hermann von Boyen und Ludwig von der Marwitz.

This book is a thorough investigation of the semantics of two derivational affixes in English. The semantic structure of -age and -ery derivatives is analysed synchronically, on the basis of corpus data from the British National Corpus (BNC), and diachronically, on the basis of dictionary data from the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). To do this, the book introduces a new way of accounting for the semantic structure of derivational affixes: an adapted semantic map method. The study shows that the semantic structure of morphological categories can change significantly in a relatively short period of time, and that semantic maps can represent this change in a straightforward and accurate manner. They visualise the relations and interdependencies of the readings expressed by derivatives, which leads to a new understanding of the semantic complexity of these categories but also highlights recurring polysemies.
