Book History of Linguistics 2017

Download or read book History of Linguistics 2017 written by Émilie Aussant and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book is a selection of papers from the 14th International Conference on the History of the Language Sciences (Paris 2017). The volume is divided thematically into three parts: I. Notions and categories, II. Representations and receptions, III. Learning, codification and the linguistic practices of social actors. The first part is especially concerned with data not easily handled by extant traditions of linguistic analysis, and with constructs and perspectives which proved difficult to establish in the linguist’s descriptive apparatus. Part II groups six studies dealing with alternative representations of linguistic data, and matters of interpretation and reception regarding the work of three important linguists (Saussure, Jespersen, Chomsky). The scope of part III embraces social and pedagogical practices as well as the involvement of linguists in questions of national identity.

Book Mimiambs

    Book Details:
  • Author : Herodas
  • Publisher : Aris and Phillips Classical Te
  • Release : 2009
  • ISBN : 0856688835
  • Pages : 265 pages

Download or read book Mimiambs written by Herodas and published by Aris and Phillips Classical Te. This book was released on 2009 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the publication of the second-century AD papyrus containing eight and a fragmentary ninth of the Mimiamboi of Herodas in 1891, Herodas was known only through approximately twenty lines which had survived in quotations found principally in Athenaios and Stobaios. Even after the publication of the papyrus and subsequent work on it, scarcely anything is known of their author. The scant evidence that has survived suggests that he lived during the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphos (285-247 BC), on the island of Kos, and was a direct contemporary of the greatest of the Hellenistic poets, Callimachus, Theocritus and Apollonius. His Mimiamboi are short humorous dramatic scenes written in verse, often bawdy, reflecting everyday life and dialect. In this Aris & Phillips Classical Text, Graham Zanker explores what we do know of the poet including the language, dialect and metre that he uses. Each poem is translated and accompanied by an individual commentary with synopsis, information on date, setting, sources and purpose, as well as close examination of vocabulary and grammar. This edition, the first translation of the Mimiamboi since 1906 reveals Herodas' work in all its skill and subtlety.

Book Bilingualism and the Latin Language

Download or read book Bilingualism and the Latin Language written by James Noel Adams and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-09 with total page 876 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, bilingualism has become one of the main themes of sociolinguistics - but there are as yet few large-scale treatments of the subject specific to the ancient world. This book is the first work to deal systematically with bilingualism during a period of antiquity (the Roman period, down to about the fourth century AD) in the light of sociolinguistic discussions of bilingual issues. The general theme of the work is the nature of the contact between Latin and numerous other languages spoken in the Roman world. Among the many issues discussed three are prominent: code-switching (the practice of switching between two languages in the course of a single utterance) and its motivation, language contact as a cause of change in one or both of the languages in contact, and the part played by language choice and language switching in the establishment of personal and group identities.

Book Name and Naming

Download or read book Name and Naming written by Oliviu Felecan and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Name and Naming: Synchronic and Diachronic Perspectives aims to analyse names and the act of naming from an intercultural perspective, both synchronically and diachronically. The volume is divided into four main parts (Theory of Names, Anthroponomastics, Toponomastics, Names in Society), which are, in turn, organised into thematic chapters and subchapters. The book sets to offer a bird’s-eye view of names and naming; this synthesis is made possible, on the one hand, by the blending of synchronic and diachronic viewpoints in the investigation of language facts and, on the other, by the fruitful conjunction of modern and classic theories. The originality and the novelty of the subject lies in the multi-disciplinary approach, in which the field of onomastics merges with that of sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, pragmatics, history, literature, stylistics, religion, etc. The thematic diversity also derives from the meeting, within the pages of this book, of specialists (35 linguists and literati) from 11 countries on three continents.
