The volume presents an overview of recent cognitive linguistic research on Slavic languages. Slavic languages, with their rich inflectional morphology in both the nominal and the verbal system, provide an important testing ground for a linguistic theory that seeks to motivate linguistic structure. Therefore, the volume touches upon a wide range of phenomena: it addresses issues related to the semantics of grammatical case, tense, aspect, voice and word order, it looks into grammaticalization and language change and discusses sound symbolism. At the same time, the analyses presented address a v

The self-image of the Federal Republic of Germany was always reflected in the treatment of its capital, Bonn. To start with, Bonn’s architecture remained as visibly provisional as the Federal Republic was intended to be. Later, as the power blocs became more firmly entrenched, Bonn was provided first with more representative government buildings, and then later with museums and other insignia of capital status. The municipal coffers received more and more support. At the same time, West Berlin increasingly lost its role as an outpost of the Free West. This book examines the period from 1
