Under a German-Moroccan cooperation, research into the early settlement history of eastern Morocco is taking place. One focus of this project is the archaeological excavations in the Ifri n'Ammar cave. The interaction of different disciplines in the processing of the extensive finds from the Ifri n'Ammar revealed many new and important insights into North African cultural sequences and environmental conditions in the time frame of 200,000 - 30,000 years ago. Cultural carrier of the Middle Palaeolithic Aterian is the anatomically modern human of African origin, who distinguishes himself in the Ifri n'Ammar through early and symbolic creations of art and jewelry.

This contributed work combines articles which deal with the application of pragmatic approaches in diachronically oriented linguistics. Both theoretical approaches and philological aspects are pursued and the applicability of general linguistic approaches is tested on Indo-European corpus languages.

Byzantine luxury objects have been neglected in research for a long time, despite the legendary reputation they already held during the Middle Ages. This volume analyses the gold, silver and bronze jewellery of the 9th to early 13th centuries in an interdisciplinary study. An illustrated catalogue presents some 250 dated objects, which are placed into a broader context through hundreds of comparative examples and the inclusion of visual and written sources. The four hoards and numerous individual finds are examined in terms of materials and techniques, typology and iconography, style and ownership, as well as application and function. This provides, not only insight into areas of everyday life, but, especially in the gold jewellery from the Preslav treasure, includes references to imperial regalia and representation, as well as diplomatic gift exchange in the Middle Ages. Overall, a solid foundation for the dating of context-less objects is provided. The book is indispensable for archaeologists and museum curators, as well as students and lecturers in art history and archaeology.

This book offers an analysis of all subordinate clauses of the eleven extant comedies of Aristophanes, informed by syntax, semantics and pragmatics; new perspectives are opened for the linguistic interpretation of these texts. It emerges that such factors as position in a dialog and stylistic register exert a considerable influence on the linguistic formation of the whole sentence. By means of a precise description of the constructions considered, Aristophanes is situated in his historical-linguistic context. The conclusions drawn have wider implications, both for the understanding of Greek syntax in general and that for other languages.

Dieses Buch spürt dem Atem des Menschen nach. Kennen nicht alle Menschen Situationen, in denen ihnen buchstäblich die Luft wegblieb, der Atem stockte oder aber glückliche Momente, in denen der Atem leicht und freischwingend floss? Beides zeigt, welch tiefe und vitale Bedeutung dem Atemgeschehen zukommt. In den Gesprächen erzählt Herta Richter über ihren Werdegang, ihre Lehrer und über ihre Erfahrungen in der Praxis des therapeutischen und pädagogischen Umgangs mit Atem.
