While quill and ink were the writing implements of choice in the Anglo-Saxon scriptorium, other colouring and non-colouring writing implements were in active use, too. The stylus, among them, was used on an everyday basis both for taking notes in wax tablets and for several vital steps in the creation of manuscripts. Occasionally, the stylus or perhaps even small knives were used for writing short notes that were scratched in the parchment surface without ink. One particular type of such notes encountered in manuscripts are dry-point glosses, i.e. short explanatory remarks that provide a translation or a clue for a lexical or syntactic difficulty of the Latin text. The present study provides a comprehensive overview of the known corpus of dry-point glosses in Old English by cataloguing the 34 manuscripts that are currently known to contain such glosses. A first general descriptive analysis of the corpus of Old English dry-point glosses is provided and their difficult visual appearance is discussed with respect to the theoretical and practical implications for their future study.
Fictions of Home
This study aims to counter right-wing discourses of belonging. It discusses key theoretical concepts for the study of home, focusing in particular on Marxist, feminist, postcolonial, and psychoanalytic contributions. The book also maintains that postmodern celebrations of nomadism and exile tend to be incapable of providing an alternative to conservative, xenophobic appropriations of home. In detailed readings of one film and six novels, a view is developed according to which home, as a spatio-temporal imaginary, is rooted in our species being, and as such constitutes the inevitable starting point for any progressive politics.
La violencia como marco interpretativo de la investigación literaria
En los últimos veinte años, la violencia ha venido a ser el marco interpretativo principal de la narrativa contemporánea hispanoamericana. Se aplica a fenómenos culturales y temas literarios muy diversos. Con la violencia como punto de fuga común, los artículos de este libro abordan narraciones creadas en varios contextos regionales: Argentina, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, México, Nicaragua, Perú… Las perspectivas abiertas por ellos ejemplifican, sin embargo, la diversidad metodológica vigente en esta área del hispanismo. Así, este marco interpretativo permite el diálogo de los estudios literarios con otras disciplinas que se dedican a la violencia: antropología, filosofía, historia, politología, sociología…
As Variedades do Português no Ensino de Português Língua Não Materna
Nos últimos anos, o ensino das variedades linguísticas tornou-se uma temática importante na didática e linguística aplicada para as línguas estrangeiras. O português como língua policêntrica com uma forte variação diatópica não se exclui deste discurso. Além da questão clássica Que português ensinar e aprender? referindo-se às duas variedades padrão de Portugal e do Brasil, novas perspetivas enfocam o conjunto global das variedades lusófonas e as outras dimensões de variação linguística. Neste volume reúnem-se contributos que abordam a temática em contextos de ensino secundário e superior na Alemanha, em Portugal, na Galiza e em Timor-Leste. Reflexões teóricas, estudos empíricos, análises de manuais e propostas didáticas demonstram a extensão do discurso sobre as variedades no ensino de PLNM.
Occupy Antigone
This anthology provides some of today's most relevant views on Sophocles' classic and its many interpretations from an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural perspective. It critically investigates the work of artists and theoreticians who have occupied Antigone ever since she appeared onstage in antiquity, dealing with questions of the relationship between performance and philosophy and of how Antigone can be appropriated to criticize reigning discourses. Occupy Antigone makes an original contribution to the vibrant life the mythical figure enjoys in contemporary performance practice and theory.
Levelling and diffusion in the Cumbrian city dialect of Carlisle
This book presents a synchronic investigation of variation and change processes in Carlisle English, a variety spoken in the far north-west of England. The dataset is based on sociolinguistic interviews and the variation in the variables Goose, Goat and Foot, (T), (R) and (TH) is analysed quantitatively in order to detect diffusion and levelling processes as outcomes of dialect contact scenarios in Carlisle.
La parole empêchée
De la simple maladresse au discours vicié, du propos délivré à contrecœur jusqu'au secret, la parole empêchée est une parole qui n'advient pas comme elle le devrait. Fondamentalement contrariée, captive de défenses qui lui font diversement obstacle, la parole est parfois contrainte de trouver d'autres voies, comme le regard, les gestes, les images. Composé de contributions pluridisciplinaires qui s'échelonnent du Moyen Âge à nos jours, cet ouvrage examine les multiples stratégies par lesquelles la parole dialogue avec le silence et se libère, au mieux, de ses entraves.
Collocations, Creativity and Constructions
Approaching collocations from a usage-based perspective, this study investigates how the development of collocational proficiency in first and second language attainment could be explained. Against the background of recent approaches in cognitive linguistics such as construction grammar and Complex Adaptive Systems it argues that collocations should not be regarded as idiosyncratic phraseological items, which, depending on their degree of fixedness and semantic opaqueness, can be classified along a gradient of idiomaticity. Thus, this study regards collocations as dynamic linguistic phenomena, which could be seen as subject to constant change rather than more or less static combinations with an additional level of syntagmatic and paradigmatic restrictions. Furthermore it explores how creative changes and alternations of collocations can be used to learn more about a speakers cognitive processing of these phraseological phenomena and how this process might be influenced by language external factors such as age, education or context.
The Historiography of Generative Linguistics
Although the past decades have seen a great diversity of approaches to the history of generative linguistics, there has been no systematic analysis of the state of the art. The aim of the book is to fill this gap. Part I provides an unbiased, balanced and impartial overview of numerous approaches to the history of generative linguistics. In addition, it evaluates the approaches thus discussed against a set of evaluation criteria. Part II demonstrates in a case study the workability of a model of plausible argumentation that goes beyond the limits of current historiographical approaches. Due to the comprehensive analysis of the state of the art, the book may be useful for graduate and undergraduate students. However, since it is also intended to enrich the historiography of linguistics in a novel way, the book may also attract the attention of both linguists interested in the history of science, and historians of science interested in linguistics.
German as Contact Zone
This book suggests that linguistic translation is one minute province of an immense process of creative activity that constitutes the world as an ongoing dynamism of unceasing transformation. Building upon the speculative quantum gravity theory, which provides a narrative of the push-pull dynamics of transformative translation from the very smallest scales of reality to the very greatest, this book argues that the so-called translative turn of the 1990s was correct in positing translation as a paradigmatic concept of transformation. More radically, the book stages a provocative provincialization of linguistic translation, so that literary translation in particular is shown to display a remarkable awareness of its own participation in a larger creative contact zone. As a result, the German language, literary translations in and out of German, and the German-language classroom, can be understood respectively as quantum contact zones.
