Das Straßburger Kolloquium "Strukturale Syntax und mentale Prozesse" führte vom 22.-25. September 1993 deutsche und französische Germanisten und Romanisten zusammen, die direkt oder indirekt in der Nachfolge von Lucien Tesnière (1893-1954) stehen. Die Akten umfassen 27 Originalbeiträge über Leben, Werk und Wirkungsgeschichte dieses Sprachwissenschaftlers und dokumentieren die ungebrochene Aktualität der Gedanken und die Vielseitigkeit des Lebenswerks von Tesnière. Der Sammelband zeigt auf, daß sich dieses Werk nicht länger allein auf die Konzepte der Valenz und Dependenz reduzieren läßt, sondern eine umfassende theoretische Basis für die mentale Rekonstruktion sprachlicher Fakten bildet, die erst in jüngster Zeit in ihrem vollen Umfang rezipiert und weiterentwickelt wird.
The Strasbourg colloquium "Structural Syntax and Mental Processes" took place from September 22-25, 1993 and assembled French and German scholars working in Germanic and Romance studies directly or indirectly influenced by Lucien Tesnière (1893-1954). The proceedings consist of 27 papers on the life, work and influence of this scholar and testify to the unbroken vitality of his thinking and the multiplicity of his concerns. The articles demonstrate that it is no longer possible to reduce Tesnière's work to the central concepts of valency and dependency alone. On the contrary, his scholarly oeuvre represents a comprehensive theoretical foundation for the mental reconstruction of linguistic facts. Only recently however has there been appreciation of the full range of its implications and an attendant attempt to develop those implications further.
The book series Linguistische Arbeiten (LA) publishes high-quality work in linguistics that addresses current issues in synchrony and diachrony, theoretically or empirically oriented.
