| Wortlängen im Englischen | 1-10 |
| Abstract. The
aim of this paper is to show that word lengths in English texts follow
certain distribution laws. The findings lend support to the theory of
word length distributions (Wimmer et al. 1994, Wimmer & Altmann 1996)
once more. |

Semantische Kombinierbarkeit von Komponenten in der Struktur der deutschen Komposita |
11-41 |
| Abstract.
The
semantics of nouns, adjectives and verbs as components of compound words
was studied; also the peculiarities of their combination in the models N+N,
A+N, V+N were analyzed. The main characteristics of the combinatory were
established as combinatory range, strength (intensity) of a tie, and the
number of significant ties. |

| Parts-of-speech diversification in Italian texts | 42-48 |
| Abstract.
In the present article some characteristics of the rank-frequency
distribution of parts-of-speech in the End-of-year speeches of Italian
presidents are scrutinized. The result is compared with some other
languages. |

| A word length regularity and its genesis | 49-69 |
| Abstract.
Data
from several typologically and genetically distinct languages show that
the distribution of length in letters or phonemes of word types fits the
Good distribution, the discrete analogue of the Gamma distribution. It is
suggested that this is an equilibrium distribution, resulting from long
oral tradition of language between successive generations. Length
redistribution can take place when juxtaposed words in speech are
re-interpreted by second generation listeners. Simulations show that a
certain kind of random shifting of word boundaries results in a lexicon
whose word lengths are also well fitted by the Good distribution. The fit
remains close even if a limited amount of compounding is introduced into
the simulations. |

| Diversification of postpositions in Japanese | 70-79 |
| Abstract. In this study we show the place of the diversification of Japanese postpositions in the hierarchy of different language phenomena. The Popescu indicator is computed from three different texts. | |

Zur Entwicklung der Entlehnungen aus dem Japanischen ins Deutsche |

| Abstract.
This
study presents a further support of the logistic law, known in linguistics
as Piotrowski law, using data which can be gathered from Kleines Lexikon deutscher Wörter japanischer Herkunft (2008). |
