What do I know as yet?
No full textThe aim of this article is to explore the following complex issues, which appearto be densely interconnected: the connection between the single word meaningand the sentence meaning according to Alston leading over to Wittgenstein’scomments on Moore’s claims about ascertained knowledge. This connects directlyto attempts at describing the uses of ich weiß ‘I know’, in particular those byMoore and Wittgenstein, the meaning of the explicit performative, and, finally, toits possible pursuance in an approach to dialogical analysis

Thetics and categoricals Linguistik aktuell ;, Bd. 262./ edited by Werner Abraham, Elisabeth Leiss, Yasuhiro Fujinawa.
No full text"The papers collected in this volume were presented at the workshop Thetics and Categoricals at the 51st Annual Meeting of Societas Linguistica Europaea in Tallinn, Estonia, on 30 August, 2018"--Preface.Includes bibliographical references and index."Thetics and Categoricals do not belong to the categories of German grammar. Thetics were introduced in logic as impersonal and broad focus constructions. They left profound and extensive traces in the logic of the late 19th century. For the class of thetic propositions, the criterion of textual exclusion plays the major role, i.e. the absence of any common grounds and of any anaphorism and background. In the foreground are sentences with subject inversion, subject suppression and detopicalization. These and only these are suitable for text beginnings, jokes, stage advertisements and solipsistic exclamatives, thus speech acts without communicative goals - free expressives in the true sense of the word. The contributions in this volume not only guide the reader through the history of philosophical logic and distributions of impersonals in contrast to Kantian categorical sentences, but also the correspondences in Japanese and Chinese which, in contrast to German and English, sport specific morphological markers for thetics as opposed to categoricals"--What this volume is about / Werner Abraham -- Categorical versus thetic sentences in the universal grammar of realism / Elisabeth Leiss -- Are theticity and sentence-focus encoded grammatical categories of Dutch? / Thomas Belligh -- Presentational and related constructions in Norwegian with reference to German / Lars Hellan and Dorothee Beermann -- Copulas and information structure in Tanti Dargwa / Nina Sumbatova -- Infinitive constructions and theticity in German / Yukari Isaka -- Strong and weak nominal reference in thetic and categorical sentences : sampling German and Chinese / Meng-Chen Lee -- Adjectives and mode of expression : psych-adjectives in attributive and predicative usage and implications for the thetic/categorical discussion / Yoshiyuki Muroi -- Unaccusativity and theticity / Patricia Irwin -- From philosophical logic to linguistics : the architecture of information autonomy : categoricals vs. thetics revisited / Werner Abraham -- Pseudocategorical or purely thetic?

On the historical crystal model sets in the mineral collections of Abraham Gottlob Werner of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg
No full textIn 1823 A. von Weissenbach listed in the catalog of the Äußere-Kennzeichen-Sammlung (External characteristics collection) of the Werner-Museum among other items several early crystal model collections. In 2012 we were able to recover and identify these collections as well as some other model sets pertaining to the early history of crystallography. Additional documentation over some of these sets was found in Werner’s correspondence and his other scientific estate. This is a remarkably rich source for studies of material culture and scientific change and exchange, crystal model collections are usually highly depleted and information on them sparing to nonexistent.That such early model sets often are exquisitely made and examples of skilful craftsmanship can be seen in the exhibits in the Krüger-Haus in Freiberg. However, in our paper we want to describe and highlight the contemporary crystallographic thinking of each part of this important suite of crystal model sets representing the toughts of Linnaeus, Werner, Romé de l’Isle, Haüy, etc. from the late 18th to early 19th centuries, provisionally divided into three groups: (1) The oldest model sets pertain to Werner’s early years. These comprise a small wooden collection made after the plates of the Swedish naturalist C. Linnaeus’ Systema Naturae 1768, a collection of models hammered and carved in lead purported to have been made by Werner himself, and 55 wooden models that must be one of the earliest sets produced in more than one copy. (2) Model sets representing Werner’s ‘developed’ crystallographic thinking. This was first presented in 31 paragraphs in Von den äußerlichen Kennzeichen der Foßilien 1774. We will discuss how it evolved, our sources being the model sets made in Freiberg by C. I. Löscher, and contemporary texts. (3) Model sets arriving from abroad. To these count four collections in brass, wood, and porcelain made by pioneering French model makers, and one set of gypsum models made by F. X. M. Zippe.These collections are in Freiberg either because Werner had chosen them or that they were sent to him due to his reputation. Werner’s use of, response and comments to the different model sets will suggest to us his attitude to the developing new science of crystallography for over 40 years.</p
Preface
No full textThe papers collated in this volume were all presented at the international conference entitled “The Communication of Certainty and Uncertainty: Linguistic, Psychological and Philosophical Aspects” held at the University of Macerata from the 3rd to the 5th October 2012. Conceived as a forum for interdisciplinary comparison on the general theme of the communication of certainty and uncertainty, the conference had great resonance in the scientific community. Organized by Andrzej Zuczkowski (University of Macerata, President), Sibilla Cantarini (University of Verona, Co-president), Anita Fetzer (University of Würzburg, Co-president), and Ramona Bongelli, Ilaria Riccioni, and Carla Canestrari (University of Macerata, Organizing Committee), the issues were analysed from the perspective of various research topics and methods, making it an important inter- and multidisciplinary event. The invited speakers were: Werner Abraham (University of Vienna & Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich); Elisabeth Leiss (Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich); Jan Nuyts (University of Antwerp)
