Download or read book Medieval English in a Multilingual Context written by Sara M. Pons-Sanz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book examines the multilingual culture of medieval England, exploring its impact on the development of English and its textual manifestations from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The book offers overviews of the state of the art of research and case studies on this subject in (sub)disciplines of linguistics including historical linguistics, onomastics, lexicology and lexicography, sociolinguistics, code-switching and language contact, and also includes contributions from literary and socio-cultural studies, material culture, and palaeography. The authors focus on the variety of languages in use in medieval Britain, including English, Old Norse, Norn, Dutch, Welsh, French, and Latin, making the argument that understanding the impact of medieval multilingualism on the development of English requires multidisiplinarity and the bringing together of different frameworks in linguistics and cultural studies to achieve more nuanced answers. This book will be of interest to academics and students of historical linguistics and medieval textual culture.

Download or read book The Mabinogi written by Charles William Sullivan and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture in Practice collects the academic and political writings from the 1960sthrough the 1990s of anthropologist Marshall Sahlins. More than a compilation, Culture in Practiceunfolds as an intellectual autobiography. The book opens with Sahlins's early general studies ofculture, economy, and human nature. It then moves to his reportage and reflections on the war inVietnam and the antiwar movement, the event that most strongly affected his thinking about culturalspecificity. Finally, it offers his more historical and globally aware works on indigenous peoples,especially those of the Pacific islands.Sahlins exposes the cultural specificity of the West,developing a critical account of the distinctive ways that we act in and understand the world. Thebook includes a play/review of Robert Ardrey's sociobiology, essays on "native" consumption patternsof food and clothes in America and the West, explorations of how two thousand years of Westerncosmology affect our understanding of others, and ethnohistorical accounts of how cultural orders ofEuropeans and Pacific islanders structured the historical experiences of both. Throughout, Sahlinsoffers his own way of thinking about the anthropological project. To transcend critically our nativecategories in order to understand how other peoples have historically constructed their modes ofexistence--even now, in the era of globalization--is the great challenge of contemporaryanthropology.

Download or read book Early Welsh Gnomic and Nature Poetry written by Nicolas Jacobs and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2012 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the most enigmatic and fascinating of early Welsh poems are the sequences of stanzas commonly categorized as gnomic. In their most typical form they juxtapose vivid natural description with generalisations about the physical world and about human life, combining an evident delight in weather and the changing seasons, landscapes and seascapes, and birds, beasts and plants with a serious and often witty concern for the moral and practical aspects of daily life. The origin and function of these stanzas remains a puzzle; some may be associated with particular situations in narratives now lost, but as a whole they appear to have developed at an early stage into a recognised genre of their own. They may be supposed to have a philosophical purpose, serving to assert a continuity between the natural and moral orders; on the other hand they may be read simply as a repository of folk-wisdom. While their interpretation remains a matter for discussion, their language is comparatively simple, and they thus provide an engaging window on the ordinary conceptual world of mediaeval Wales. This volume presents texts of the gnomic stanzas from the most important collection, that in Red Book of Hergest, and from some other manuscripts, with a few other poems containing related material, some of them edited in English for the first time, together with a literary and linguistic introduction, explanatory commentary and extensive glossary. Nicolas Jacobs is an Emeritus Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford.

Download or read book The spoken word written by Adam Fox and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. Discusses the transition from a largely oral to a fundamentally literate society in the early modern period. During this period the spoken word remained of the utmost importance but development of printing and the spread of popular literacy combined to transform the nature of communication. Examines English, Scottish and Welsh Oral culture to provide the first pan-British study of the subject. Covers several aspects of oral culture ranging from tradition, to memories of the civil war, to changing mechanics for the settling of debts. The time-span concentrates on the period 1500-1800 but includes material from outside this time frame, covering a longer chronolgical span than most other studies to show the link between early modern and modern oral and literate cultures.
