Download or read book Une histoire des langues et des peuples qui les parlent written by Jean Sellier and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 711 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Comment raconter l'histoire des langues, d'avant la naissance de l'écriture jusqu'à nos jours ? Comment rendre compte de ce fait social, qui joue un rôle majeur dans le destin de tous les peuples ? Comment saisir les langues, aux frontières poreuses, dans leur mouvement perpétuel et leur inventivité, elles qui se heurtent, cohabitent, s'influencent, s'éteignent ou se recréent ? Compte tenu du grand nombre de langues - environ 6000 aujourd'hui -, l'ouvrage se concentre sur celles dont il est possible de raconter l'histoire. Un récit en trois temps : celui d'avant l'écriture, le plus souvent mystérieux ; celui des traditions orales et de l'écriture pratiquée par des élites ; celui, enfin, de la large diffusion des textes imprimés. Des phases qui, selon les régions, s'enchaînent à des périodes différentes. Composé de modules - une région, une époque -, le livre ménage différents parcours. Le lecteur suit le fil d'Ariane, du début à la fin, ou "entre" par un sujet qui l'intéresse, puis circule au gré de ses curiosités. Un voyage dans le temps et l'espace qui invite, sans négliger les classiques (l'hébreu, le grec, le latin, le sanskrit, etc.), à partir à la rencontre du javanais, du persan, du breton, du yiddish, du swahili, du quechua... ou des pidgins mélanésiens."
Download or read book Zibaldone written by Giacomo Leopardi and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 2592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking translation of the epic work of one of the great minds of the nineteenth century Giacomo Leopardi was the greatest Italian poet of the nineteenth century and was recognized by readers from Nietzsche to Beckett as one of the towering literary figures in Italian history. To many, he is the finest Italian poet after Dante. (Jonathan Galassi's translation of Leopardi's Canti was published by FSG in 2010.) He was also a prodigious scholar of classical literature and philosophy, and a voracious reader in numerous ancient and modern languages. For most of his writing career, he kept an immense notebook, known as the Zibaldone, or "hodge-podge," as Harold Bloom has called it, in which Leopardi put down his original, wide-ranging, radically modern responses to his reading. His comments about religion, philosophy, language, history, anthropology, astronomy, literature, poetry, and love are unprecedented in their brilliance and suggestiveness, and the Zibaldone, which was only published at the turn of the twentieth century, has been recognized as one of the foundational books of modern culture. Its 4,500-plus pages have never been fully translated into English until now, when a team under the auspices of Michael Caesar and Franco D'Intino of the Leopardi Centre in Birmingham, England, have spent years producing a lively, accurate version. This essential book will change our understanding of nineteenth-century culture. This is an extraordinary, epochal publication.

Download or read book Leibniz Humboldt and the Origins of Comparativism written by Tullio De Mauro and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1990 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both Leibniz and Humboldt are scholars in whose work we find a passionate interest in the history and development of languages combined with a strong theoretical commitment. Linking their names to linguistic comparativism draws attention to the contribution these scholars have made to the history of comparativism and also promotes discussion of the relationship of theory and practice in linguistic research in more general terms. In September 1986, a conference on Leibniz, Humboldt and the Origins of Comparativism' was held in Rome. The papers included in this volume are revised versions of the papers presented at the conference.
