Discourse Pragmatics and Prosodic Reconstruction: A New Approach to Prosodic Structure in Herodotus' Histories and Beyond


Overview

English summary: The aim of this book is to establish prosodic reconstruction - especially of higher prosodic units such as the intonational or prosodic phrase - as a new subfield of historical-comparative linguistics. Incidentally, it develops a new model for capturing the prosodic structure also of modern languages and introduces a new method for prosodic reconstruction that is based on a general correspondence of prosodic with pragmatic units. Its main empirical focus lies on Ancient Greek and a well-defined subcorpus of Herodotus' Histories (Croesus logos, Hdt. 1.6-94). German description: Ziel der Arbeit ist die Etablierung der prosodischen Rekonstruktion - insbesondere hoherer prosodischer Einheiten wie der Intonationsphrase oder der prosodischen Phrase - als eines neuen Teilgebiets der historisch-vergleichenden Sprachwissenschaft. Inzident entwickelt sie ein neues Modell zur Erfassung prosodischer Struktur auch moderner Sprachen und fuhrt eine neue, auf einer grundlegenden Korrespondenz von prosodischen mit pragmatischen Einheiten basierende Methode fur die prosodische Rekonstruktion ein. Empirisch liegt der Schwerpunkt der Arbeit auf dem Altgriechischen; Datengrundlage ist ein in sich geschlossener Teilabschnitt von Herodots Historien (sog. Kroesus-Logos, Hdt. 1.6 - 94).
