Annotation

The papers in this volume deal with the changed praxis of a no longer existing dichotomy between speaking and writing -e.g. via PC and e-mail one can write down a text which is in fact a talk- and the consequences for language theory, focusing either on a characterization of the two polar forms or on new facts in this area.
