In this review we provide an evaluation of the Festschrift honoring the occasion of Prof. Witold Mańczak’s ninetieth birthday. We start by sketching general characteristics of the book, emphasizing the wide range of tributary topics covered, as well as the range of languages of contributions, reflecting the many areas where the Professor’s work impacted the language sciences. Then we focus on one of the most controversial claims advocated by the Festschrifee, which has spawned a lot research and findings, namely, the importance of the frequency of occurrence of a given linguistic item. We argue that this claim should be considered against the wider background of the Natural Linguistics paradigm. Finally, we review and synopsize the content, which we proposed to group into the following thematic realms: (i) Etymology / language contact; (ii) Language change, theory and history of language; (iii) Syntax/semantics; (iv) Contemporary language usage / sociolinguistics; (v) Lexicography / translation studies. The article ends with the general recommendation of the monograph to a broad readership.

The publication of Lingea’s new Slovník současné češtiny (Dictionary of Contemporary Czech, 2011) has been a long-awaited event in the not-so-long history of Czech lexicography, which was overshadowed by political pressure in the 1980s, when the publication of the second edition of Slovník spisovné češtiny pro školu a veřejnost (Dictionary of Standard Czech for Schools and the Public, 1978, 1994) was not allowed. Consequently, the main generally used source of information on the Czech language became the prescriptive handbook Pravidla českého pravopisu (The Rules of Czech Orthography). The new 30,000-headword dictionary is very well presented graphically and includes many new words (e.g. e-shop), difficult words, colloquial words and slang. The dictionary claims to be corpus-based and briefly mentions its own corpus, however, after more careful examination, we can observe that corpus resources are not systematically used in any form (headword list, ordering of senses, metalanguage of definitions, examples). Moreover, the dictionary draws heavily on the above mentioned Slovník spisovné češtiny with very minor revisions and changes in the wording and maintains the prescriptive tradition, e.g. through the use of added style boxes. Moreover, the dictionary’s overall credibility suffers from the fact that neither its chief editor nor its editorial team members are named.

Analysis of Adjectival Formations on -schwanger The present paper is concerned with the synchronic, quantitative analysis of one aspect of adjectival word-formation. The aim of the paper is to explore the word-formation productivity of derivations ending in ‑schwanger and its frequency of occurrence in texts by taking various structure-types into consideration. I will make an attempt to identify and document the current trends in the lexis of contemporary German language by means of corpus-linguistic methods.

Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden die Ergebnisse einer synchronischen Untersuchung adjektivischer Bildungen auf -schwanger vorgelegt. In der linguistischen Fachliteratur wurde dieser Wortbildungskonstruktion wegen ihrer begrenzten Produktivität bislang kaum Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Auch in den bekanntesten einsprachigen Wörterbüchern sind nur wenige Bildungen mit dem Suffixoid -schwanger lemmatisiert. Den Kernpunkt der Arbeit bilden die Erkenntnisse einer Korpusuntersuchung, die mit Hilfe des Deutschen Referenzkorpus des IdS Mannheim durchgeführt wurde. Das gewonnene Belegmaterial wurde einer morphologischen, syntaktischen und semantischen Analyse unterzogen. Aspekte wie Art des Basismorphems, Fugengestaltung und Fugenvarianz kommen im Beitrag ebenfalls zum Tragen. Das Ziel der Untersuchung ist es, über die Aufdeckung struktureller Eigenschaften hinaus unter Anwendung quantitativer Methoden verlässliche Aussagen über Produktivität, Verwendungsfrequenz und Neubildungspotenz des Zweitglieds -schwanger zu machen.
