In illustration, he presents a detailed study of a key meeting point of grammar and pragmatics: focus, in particular its syntactic expression in Hungarian REFERENCE. bisacsh LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Vocabulary bisacsh Focus (taalkunde) gtt Focus (Linguistics) fast Pragmatics fast Focus (Linguistics) Pragmatics Syntax (DE-588)4058779-4 gnd rswk-swf Thema-Rhema-Gliederung (DE-588)4059734-9 gnd rswk-swf Semantik (DE-588)4054490-4 gnd rswk-swf Thema-Rhema-Gliederung (DE-588)4059734-9 s Syntax (DE-588)4058779-4 s Semantik (DE-588)4054490-4 s 1\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 0-08-044577-2 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=166441 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
