Tendenzen europischer Linguistik

This is a collection of 64 papers presented at the 31st Linguistics Colloquium. They extend across a broad range of linguistic issues. The authors take due account of the fact that in a colloquium with a very broad spectrum the audience cannot be a specialist one. Hence the majority of the articles center on questions of principle and approach, the common denominator being in all cases the tendencies most likely to determine the future of European linguistics. 45 of the articles are in German, 17 in English, and 2 in French.
