Case, lower-case letter, upper-case letter (W1)

CamelCase, Binnen-I, Binnenmajuskel, Binnenversal, Höckerschreibweise, PascalCase (W1)

...
Was als "Binnen-I" (z.B. in "MitgliederInnen") Anfang der 80er-Jahre mit dem Ziel der Überwindung des generischen Maskulinums und der sprachlichen Ungleichbehandlung von Mann und Frau begann, hat längst auf andere sprachliche Verwendungskontexte ausgestrahlt.
...

Darf man ein Binnen-I (Majuskel-I) verwenden?

Das "Binnen-I" ist eine Erfindung der "tageszeitung" (taz), um bei Berufs- und Gattungsbezeichnungen männlichen Genus' anzudeuten, dass auch Frauen gemeint sind; z.B. "LeserInnen" für "Leserinnen und Leser" bzw. für männliche und weibliche Leser. Seit Mitte der achtziger Jahre hat sich das Binnen-I in links-alternativen Kreisen verbreitet, was z.T. groteske Züge angenommen hat, etwa beim "KinderInnengarten" oder den "MitgliederInnen".
...

"Binnenmajuskel" (Plural Binnenmajuskeln) oder "Binnenversal" (auch "Binnenversalie", Plural für beide Formen Binnenversalien) nennt man einen "Großbuchstaben im Wortinnern" (etwa in "SonnenStudio" oder "SparAktion"). Die daraus resultierende Schreibweise wird manchmal auch als "Höckerschreibweise" oder "CamelCase" bezeichnet.

...
Begriffsherkunft "Camel Case"

Zur Herkunft des Namens "CamelCase" gibt es zwei Theorien.
Zum einen ähnelt die Schreibweise einem Kamel mit seinen Höckern, zum anderen kann der Name von dem Maskottchen der Programmiersprache Perl herrühren, da diese Schreibweise hier oft für Bezeichner von Variablen, Funktionen usw. verwendet werden.
CamelCase kommt jedoch z. B. auch bei den Programmiersprachen Pascal (die ursprünglich keine Unterstriche in Namen beherrschte) bzw. Delphi, Java sowie in der Win32-API zur Verwendung.
Auch der Computerhersteller Apple verwendet von Anfang an umfangreich Binnenmajuskel für das GUI seines Betriebssystems Mac OS. Wegen des Bezugs zur Programmiersprache Pascal wird CamelCase auch als "PascalCase" bezeichnet.

languagehat - Rules Grammar Change

A new look for English grammar:
The U.S. Grammar Guild Monday announced that no more will traditional grammar rules English follow. Instead there will a new form of organizing sentences be.
U.S. Grammar Guild according to, the new structure loosely on an obscure 800-year-old, pre-medieval Anglo-Saxon syntax is based. The syntax primarily verbs, verb clauses and adjectives at the end of sentences placing involves. Results this often, to ears American, a sentence backward appearing.
"Operating under we are, one major rule," said Joyce Watters, president of the U.S. Grammar Guild. "Make English, want we, more archaic and dignified sounding to be, as if every word coming from the tongue of a centuries-old, mystical wizard, is."

Glossary of grammatical terms

last changed 26 Sept 2003
Introduction to this glossary
This glossary includes:

• the terms and definitions in the glossary of the Framework for the National Literacy Strategy which are relevant to grammar; some terms that are embedded within definitions in the NLS glossary are also given separate entries to make them easier to find, but otherwise the NLS glossary entries are unchanged.
• some additional terms from the glossary in the Framework for Modern Foreign Languages at KS3; where NLS entries have been expanded in the MFL glossary, these expansions are included here,
• 26 extra terms needed for the KS3 grammar material; these extra terms are all marked '[new]' in the list in the bottom window.
• All the individual terms and definitions are linked, where possible, to units in the KS3 material; just click the head-word if it is underlined, and you will go straight to the relevant part of the material.

Ágel, Vilmos
Dependenz und Valenz / Dependency and Valency

The handbook provides an overview of the current status of research in this field. The second volume begins with a comprehensive description of grammatical phenomena as seen from dependency and valency viewpoints. This is followed by chapters on the application of dependency and valency concepts in computer-based language processing. The remaining chapters deal with contrastive linguistics, grammaticography, lexicography, historical linguistics and other areas of linguistic research in which dependency and valency play a significant role.

Declerck, Renaat
The Grammar of the English Verb Phrase

The book aims to provide a grammar of tense which can be used both as an advanced reference grammar and as a scientific study which can act as a basis for and stimulus to further research. It provides not only a wealth of data but also a unique framework for the study of the English tense system, which achieves great predictive and explanatory power on the basis of a limited number of relatively simple rules.

...
1) It is targeted specifically at the German market, and thus has explanations in German and sheds light on the typical mistakes German-speakers make when speaking English.
2) The color layout is eye-catching and appealing to the reader.
3) The book has a very clean look and feel, and may not be as overwhelming to a learner of English as Murphy's comprehensive - but thick - books.

Produktinfo
This book explores the view that impoverishment and Agree operations are part of a single grammatical component. The architecture set forth here gives rise to complex but highly systematic interactions between the two operations. This interaction is shown to provide a unified and general account of apparentlydiverse and unrelated intances of eccentric argument encoding that so far haveremained elusive to a unified theoretical account. The proposed view of the grammatical architecture achieves an integration of these phenomena withinbetter-studied languages and thus gives rise to a more general theory of caseand agreement phenomena. The empirical evidence on the basis of which the proposal is developed drawsfrom a wide range of typologically non-related languages, including Basque, Hindi, Icelandic, Itelmen, Marathi, Nez Perce, Niuean, Punjabi, Sahaptin, Selayarese, Yukaghir, and Yurok. The proposal has far-reaching consequences for the study of grammatical architecture, linguistic interfaces, derivational locality in apparently non-local dependencies and the role of functional considerations in formal approaches tothe human language faculty.

The Architecture of Focus
Studies in Generative Grammar [Sgg]

'The Architecture of Focus' offers the most precise and recent characterization of the notion of focus in linguistic theory. The volume contains brand-new and innovative papers that target the nature of focus and topic at the interfaces of the model of grammar. There are four main sections:

• (i) a general section, concerned with the basic theory of the interaction of focus and topic with the components of grammar;
• (ii) the representation of focus at the syntax-pragmatics interface concentrating on language comparison;
• (iii) the phonological representation of focus and topic and its relation to meaning, and
• (iv) the interaction of focus and topic at the semantics-pragmatics interface with an emphasis on the notion of contrast.

Together the papers collected in this volume present a state-of-the-art account of the architecture of focus.

Product Description
A few years ago, a magazine sponsored a contest for the comment most likely to end a conversation. The winning entry? "I teach English grammar." Just throw that line out at a party; everyone around you will clam up or start saying "whom."

Why does grammar make everyone so nervous? Probably because English teachers, for decades - no, for centuries - have been making a big deal out of grammar in classrooms, diagramming sentences and drilling the parts of speech, clauses, and verbals into students until they beg for mercy. Happily, you don't have to learn all those technical terms of English grammar - and you certainly don't have to diagram sentences - in order to speak and write correct English.

So rest assured - "English Grammar For Dummies" will probably never make your English teacher's top-ten list of must-read books, because you won't have to diagram a single sentence. What you will discover are fun and easy strategies that can help you when you're faced with such grammatical dilemmas as the choice between "I" and "me," "had gone" and "went," and "who" and "whom." With English Grammar For Dummies, you won't have to memorize a long list of meaningless rules (well, maybe a couple in the punctuation chapter!), because when you understand the reason for a particular word choice, you'll pick the correct word automatically.

English Grammar For Dummies covers many other topics as well, such as the following:

• Verbs, adjectives, and adverbs - oh my!
• Preposition propositions and pronoun pronouncements
• Punctuation: The lowdown on periods, commas, colons, and all those other squiggly marks
• Possession: It's nine-tenths of grammatical law
• Avoiding those double negative vibes
• How to spice up really boring sentences (like this one)
• Top Ten lists on improving your proofreading skills and ways to learn better grammar

Just think how improving your speaking and writing skills will help you in everyday situations, such as writing a paper for school, giving a presentation to your company's big wigs, or communicating effectively with your family. You will not only gain the confidence in knowing you're speaking or writing well, but you'll also make a good impression on those around you!

Book Info
A friendly guide to proper English grammar. Features coverage of pronouns, participles, parallel structure of verbs, adjectives, and tenses, and proper punctuation. Also covers effective proofreading, using slang, avoiding common grammatical errors, and conveying the appropriate meaning. Softcover.
