Subject and Object in Modern English
Subject and Object in Modern English, first published in 1979, deals with subjects in the English language (one of the two main constituents of a clause), first comparing two possible notions of derived subject and then re-examining some derived subjects which had been assumed to be underlying subjects as well. This title also concerns itself with the basic verb phrase relations; not only with direct and indirect objects, but locative and directional phrases, with-phrases, and of-phrases considered. This book will be of interest to students of English language and linguistics.

Topic-Focus Articulation, Tripartite Structures, and Semantic Content
1. 1 OBJECTIVES The main objective of this joint work is to bring together some ideas that have played central roles in two disparate theoretical traditions in order to con tribute to a better understanding of the relationship between focus and the syn tactic and semantic structure of sentences. Within the Prague School tradition and the branch of its contemporary development represented by Hajicova and Sgall (HS in the sequel), topic-focus articulation has long been a central object of study, and it has long been a tenet of Prague school linguistics that topic-focus structure has systematic relevance to meaning. Within the formal semantics tradition represented by Partee (BHP in the sequel), focus has much more recently become an area of concerted investigation, but a number of the semantic phenomena to which focus is relevant have been extensively investi gated and given explicit compositional semantic-analyses. The emergence of 'tripartite structures' (see Chapter 2) in formal semantics and the partial simi larities that can be readily observed between some aspects of tripartite structures and some aspects of Praguian topic-focus articulation have led us to expect that a closer investigation of the similarities and differences in these different theoretical constructs would be a rewarding undertaking with mutual benefits for the further development of our respective theories and potential benefit for the study of semantic effects of focus in other theories as well.

Parteien in Osteuropa
Nach 1989 sind auch in Osteuropa politische Parteien als die für Wettbewerbsdemokratien typischen Hauptakteure entstanden. Neben dieser Tendenz zur Angleichung lassen sich aber östliche Eigenarten beobachten: eine dominante Stellung der "Nachfolgeparteien" im Parteiensystem vieler Staaten, trotz umfassenden Institutionenimports deutliche Kontextdiskrepanzen, schnell abnehmende Partizipationsneigungen der Bürger auf dem Hintergrund postrevolutionärer Frustrationen, ein hoher Grad an politischer Instabilität. Die Autoren vertreten die These, daß die Geschichte des Staatssozialismus die spezifischen Parteibildungsprozesse in diesem Raum am stärksten beeinflußt hat. Der vergleichenden Analyse liegen Einzelstudien zu den Parteiensystemen in Ostdeutschland, Polen, der Sowjetunion/Rußland, Tschechien und Ungarn zugrunde."(...) Das vorliegende Buch bietet eine fundierte Informationsquelle zur politischen Entwicklung im östlichen Europa und geht über die Darstellung des Parteiengefüges hinaus. (...) Die große Zahl von Schaubildern und Statistiken unterstreicht und veranschaulicht die Ergebnisse, eine Auswahl von Kurzbiographien zu den wichtigsten Politikern sowie eine Auflistung und Charakterisierung der bedeutenderen Parteien in allen untersuchten Ländern erleichtern dem Leser die Orientierung. (...)"WGO Monatshefte für Osteuropäisches Recht, 5/96"(...) Der Band gibt insgesamt eine gute und anregende Analyse über die charakteristischen Züge der mit Schwierigkeiten des Übergangs kämpfenden postsozialistischen Region dar und wird so (...) für die sich interessierenden Forscher zu einem grundlegenden Handbuch."Welt Trends, 14/97
