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.

The "e;Onomasiological Dictionary of the Romance Languages"e; is designed as a contribution to a comparative description of the major Romance tongues. Grouping the vocabulary of these languages on the basis of a number of selected notional fields, the description proceeds from a 'noemic' (conceptual) system in each case serving as a tertium comparationis to which the lexical realisations in the vocabularies of the Romance languages are then related. This dictionary thus fills a gap in the field of Romance lexicography. Proceeding from a number of different noemic systems, the work is also innovative from the methodological point of view. The series has been discontinued with the publication of volume 6.
