A Reader of Pashto
(After a brief introduction to the use of this reader and ...)
After a brief introduction to the use of this reader and a summary of the Pashto language, the author presents 25 units of reading selections and correlated exercises. A typical lesson consists of-- (1) a short Pashto text in typewritten Arabic-Persian form, (2) a Romanized transcription of this text indicating pronunciation, (3) a glossary of new words in Romanized transliteration, (4) short notes on grammar and pronunciation, (5) an English translation of the text, and (6) short exercises in writing in Pashto (in units 1-10 only). The texts chosen for this beginning reader represent current usage in the three major Pashto dialectal regions and include a variety of styles and levels of difficulty. An appended "Pashto word-index" lists the Pashto forms and the unit and sentence in which they are presented. The author assumes that most users of this text have completed the equivalent of a one-semester, non-intensive course in the Pashto language. This reader and other instructional materials in Pashto were prepared at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Department of Near Eastern Studies.

Wie in des Autors «Althochdeutsch» (1986) und «Frühneuhochdeutsch» (1984) ist didaktischer Zweck mit streng wissenschaftlicher synchronischer und diachronischer Darstellung verbunden. Behandelte Texte führen vom Spätalthochdeutschen (Merigarto) bis zum Frühneuhochdeutschen (Wolkenstein), vom «Normalmittelhochdeutschen» (Nibelungenlied, Hartmann, Walther) zu den Schriftdialekten (Veldeke, Mittelfränkisch, Jiddisch).

Would you like to be able to speak to the fellows on the cover of this book? This is the book for you! Are you a grunt in a foxhole just trying to get out of this alive? You really need this book! Pashto is a language spoken by at least 40 million people in Southern and Eastern Afghanistan and in the Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan. Estimates of the number of Pashto speakers range from 40 million to 60 million, which should make it among the most widely spoken languages in the world. One source ranks it as number 20 in the world in the number of speakers of the language. Another source ranks it as number 35. However, most sources do not rank it at all. The language seems to be virtually unknown except among those in contact with it. This is the definitive, authoritative work on the Pashto Language.

Eine Sprachgeschichte nach Texten von 350 bis 1992: Vom Nordisch-Westgermanischen zum Neuenglischen (Germanistische Lehrbuchsammlung) (German Edition)
(Das Buch behandelt die äußere (historisch-politische/kult...)
Das Buch behandelt die äußere (historisch-politische/kulturelle) und vor allem die innere Geschichte der englischen Sprache, d.h. deren historische Phonologie, Morphologie, Syntax, Lexikologie vom 3. Jahrhundert an. In 14 von 15 Kapiteln steht die ausführliche synchronische und diachronische linguistische Analyse von repräsentativen Texten im Mittelpunkt. Die ersten sind einige der ältesten nordisch-westgermanischen Runeninschriften in der «Ursprache» von Englisch und Deutsch (z.B. Gallehus, 350 n. Chr.). Unter den übrigen, chronologisch angeordneten Texten finden wir für die altenglischen Dialekte Caedmons Hymnus, Stellen aus Beowulf, Aelfrics Grammatik (um 1000 n. Chr.), für die mittelenglischen Dialekte aus der Peterborough Chronik (1135), dem Ormulum (1200), Chaucers Prolog zu den Canterbury Tales (vor 1400). Es folgen frühneuenglische Texte aus den Paston Briefen (1472), John Hart (1569), Shakespeare, den Verney Papers (1685), dann aus dem 18. Jahrhundert (J. Swift) und dem amerikanischen Englisch des 19. Jahrhunderts (J.R. Lowell, Biglow Papers 1848). Die Textanalyse beruht durchwegs auf dem gegenwärtigen Stand der sprachhistorischen Forschung in Anglistik und Germanistik, ist aber ohne theoretisches Vorurteil.
