Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new knowledge about human languages both synchronically and diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality linguistic studies from all the central areas of general linguistics and the linguistics of individual languages which address topical questions, discuss new data and advance the development of linguistic theory.
Effiziente Verfahren zur Bonitatsprognose von Kapitalnehmern gewinnen zunehmend an Bedeutung. Diese Untersuchung leistet hier dreierlei Beitrag. Zum ersten behandelt sie die Frage, inwieweit Ratings an den Finanzmarkten in ihrer derzeitigen Auspragung aus theoretischer Sicht uberhaupt eine Informationsfunktion zugeschrieben werden kann. Zum zweiten wird untersucht, ob und inwieweit das derzeit verfugbare und in der Literatur diskutierte Instrumentarium zur Loesung von Rating- und Klassifikationsproblemen transparente und effiziente Prognoseverfahren an die Hand gibt. Schliesslich wird das zusatzliche Effizienzpotential statistischer neuronaler Netze dargelegt. Dabei wird dieses Konzept gleichzeitig aus dem bisher starker mikrooekonomischen Anwendungskontext herausgeloest und dessen besondere Leistungsfahigkeit auch fur makrooekonomische Fragestellungen aufgezeigt.
In vielen Fallen ist es in der Vergangenheit zu einem Wechsel des oertlichen Verteilnetzbetreibers gekommen. Voraussetzung hierfur ist, dass der bisherige Netzeigentumer sein Netz dem neuen Netzbetreiber uberlasst, regelmassig in Form der UEbereignung. Hierfur ist nach gefestigter Praxis stets ein Kaufpreis gezahlt worden, der sich nach dem Sachsubstanz- oder dem Ertragswertverfahren richtet. Soweit derartige Netze bereits zur Zeit der Verausserung abgeschrieben waren, lasst sich aus der Stromnetzentgeltverordnung ein Verbot der Berucksichtigung des Netzwertes bei der Kaufpreisbestimmung ableiten. Eine solche Vorgabe wurde den Vertrauensschutz des Netzkaufers in die abweichende Rechtspraxis vor Inkrafttreten der Energierechtsreform 2005 nachhaltig erschuttern. Das Gutachten weist detailliert nach, dass dieser Vertrauensschutz zwingend zu berucksichtigen ist.
Nesten atten millioner menn gjorde tjeneste i Wehrmacht - i Hitlers hær. I over fem år førte Wehrmacht verdenshistoriens blodigste krig og okkuperte en tid enorme landområder, før det hele endte i et totalt nederlag. Etter at hver enkelt soldat hadde sverget personlig troskap til tyrannens person, ble de redusert til et verktøy for diktaturet og til et støtteapparat for å fullbyrde den vanvittige rasekrigen - lydige til siste slutt. Over fem millioner Wehrmacht-soldater mistet livet i krigen eller i fangenskap. Guido Knopp presenterer her både den nyeste historiske forskningen og intervjuer med de siste tidsvitnene. Dette - og funn i rikholdige arkiver og private dokumenter - viser det samme: Wehrmacht fulgte betingelsesløst Hitler inn i undergangen. Guido Knopp avliver her også myten om at det bare var SS som stod for de grusomme overgrepene, mens Wehrmacht bare var "vanlige soldater". Da denne boken kom ut i Tyskland ble mange sjokkert over den rolle Wehrmacht spilte under andre verdenskrig.

Saint Peter was a crucial figure in early Christianity; as one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, he oversaw the formal establishment of the early church and became the first Bishop of Rome. Peter's formative years were spent as a fisherman. It was here that the purpose of his disciple status was unveiled: Peter was to become a 'fisher of men'; helping others believe in the Lord. These and other events are told in this biography, which investigates the ways in which Peter sought to enlighten and catch souls of men, that they be set on a righteous path to God and the Holy Spirit. Peter's humble beginnings soon transform through his pursuit of God; he accompanies Jesus as one of his twelve apostles, and is listed foremost among them in all sources. His spiritual guidance and devotion to the mission of Christ has great bearing on the foundation of the Christian church; Peter also witnessed the Resurrection of Jesus first-hand, and delivered some of the first sermons following this revelatory event.

This book critically examines all the early and important Petrine pseudepigrapha to identify a distinctive Petrine theology which, it is believed, was later swamped by the tide of western orthodoxy. Despite the diversity of the books and tractates, ranging from Jewish-Christian writings to avowedly Gnostic works, a remarkably consistent Petrine tradition does emerge; and Peter is shown essentially to be neither the impetuous, undiscerning, and even vacillating figure portrayed in the Gospels and Acts, nor the magisterial and pontifical figure of later Church tradition, but a visionary who was concerned above all to hold together both the moral and cognitive aspects of the Faith.
Peter Llewelyn Davies was just an infant in his pram when he served as the inspiration for J.M. Barrie's most famous creation, Peter Pan. With the story proving to be a smash hit, a reluctant Peter was thrust into the spotlight. But then one day, Peter did the unthinkable: He grew up. Based on a true story, Peter presents another side to one of the world's most beloved tales. As Peter enters adulthood, he struggles to separate himself from what he calls "that terrible masterpiece" and begins to spiral into a deep depression. Will he succeed in overcoming the demons of his past, or do happy endings only exist in fairy stories?
Peter is disturbed, and unfortunately for those around him, very strong. Everything in his life seems to work against him and it is causes him to lose what little control he has. When the moon is full, he believes he is all powerful. The people around him would be well advised to rethink how they interact with him, but do not to take heed. Peter is a volcano ready to erupt, and when he finally does, people die. He doesn't think any of the things he does are his fault, they are forcing his hand after all. When he begins to doubt his own mental stability things really get bad. His actions set of a series of events that bring misery and hatred to the surface in others. Alice knows Peter. He brings out the worst in her, and revenge is what she seeks. Those caught in the middle will try to survive the hidden battle that rages.
Perkins describes the search for the historical Peter, and the influence his image has had, in Roman Catholic and Protestant ecumenical discussions. Pointing to portrayals of Peter in the Pauline and Johannine traditions, the synoptic Gospels, and the Book of Acts, Perkins argues that precisely because there is no single Petrine tradition in the New Testament, the apostle might serve as a unifying figure for incongruous forms of Christianity. Perkins argues that Peter should be viewed as a harmonizing figure who captures the Christian imagination not only because he is the most prominent of Jesus' disciples, but also because his weaknesses and strengths present a character accessible to the average Christian.
Unlike other New Testament persons described in the Paul's Social Network Series, Peter was a member of Jesus' inner circle during his life and ministry in Galilee. In Peter, Eric Stewart explores the depictions of Peter that appear throughout the New Testament for insights into who he was. Readers will learn what it means that Peter was a villager and a fisherman, a holy person, an authorized change agent, a moral entrepreneur, a healer, a speaker, and a writer. In the end, they will understand Peter's message, and the message of his Master, far more deeply.
