"The Sea is History": Exploring the Atlantic
Universitätsverlag Winter, 2009
ISBN: 978-3-82535-612-5
The paradigm of Atlantic studies combines the concerns of history, culture studies, and literature and takes as its area of inquiry the so-called "circum-Atlantic world," an oceanic space triangulated by the land masses of Europe, Africa, and the Americas. As a field of inquiry, Atlantic studies has thus emerged in recent years to question and modify academic thinking which understood culture and history predominantly along the lines of the nation-state.
In re-focusing on the Atlantic as a space in-between, intercultural and interdisciplinary research can establish readings which add new dimensions to our study of cultures on three continents. Based on the theories of William Boelhower, Donna Gabaccia, and Bernard Bailyn, "The Sea ist History" explores cultural, literary, and historical phenomena ranging from colonial times to the present and focusing on issues such as the colonial Atlantic, the Atlantic slave trade, history in the Caribbean, and transatlantic relations and negotiations.
The volume brings together writers of fiction as well as scholars from a variety of fields (literature, history, cultural anthropology, and sociology) whose work draws on genres such as prose, poetry, drama, historical documents, film, and music. (Verlagsinformation)

The contributions stem from distinguished scholars, junior faculty and Ph.D.-students, and thus represent a wide range of critical approaches and interests. All of the essays in the book, however, reflect recent debates about the tenacity of postmodernist epistemologies and the attendant revaluation of positivistic methodologies. (Verlagsinformation)

The Virtual Linguistics Campus: Strategies and Concepts for Successful E-Learning
Waxmann Verlag, 2006
ISBN: 978-3-8309-1689-5
The Virtual Linguistics Campus, also known as the VLC, is the world's
leading e-learning platform for linguistics and is fully integrated into
regular university teaching. Being the result of a five-year research
and development effort conducted by a multidisciplinary team from the
universities of Duisburg-Essen, Marburg, and Wuppertal, the VLC today
has set new standards in e-learning. It offers a wide variety of
certified courses and course material for theoretical and applied
linguistics, linguistic engineering, and teacher training. Furthermore,
it includes various linguistic tools and all the communicative
facilities necessary for successful e-learning. All VLC courses can be
studied either completely online or in a blended-learning format.
This
book, written by the people behind the VLC, summarizes the journey of
building the Virtual Linguistics Campus so far, discusses its design,
components and organization, shares experiences of people teaching and
studying on the VLC, and provides an outlook on future developments. (Verlagsinformation)

Introduction to English Syntax
Peter Lang Verlag, 2010
ISBN 978-3-631-55961-1
This book provides an overview of basic syntactic categories, analytical methods and theoretical frameworks that are needed for a comprehensive and systematic description and analysis of the syntax of English as it is spoken and written today. It is therefore useful for students of the English language but also for teachers who are looking for an overview of traditional syntactic analysis.
In addition, the book explores various related aspects, such as syntactic variation, the relation between syntax and semantics, and psycholinguistic approaches to syntax. One focus throughout is to introduce the reader to the 'art' or science of syntactic argumentation.
Almost all of the examples that are found in this book are drawn from language corpora - each syntactic concept, therefore, is exemplified by authentic language data. (Verlagsinformation)
