Download or read book Interaction of Borrowing and Word Formation written by ten Hacken Pius ten Hacken and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on detailed case studies across a range of languages, including English, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Czech, Russian, Lithuanian and Greek, this book examines the different factors that determine the outcome of the interaction between borrowing and word formation. Historically, borrowing has largely been studied from etymological and lexicographical perspectives and word formation has been included in morphology. However, this book focuses on their mutual influence and interaction. Bringing together a range of contributors, each chapter illustrates how borrowing and word formation are in competition as alternative naming processes, while also showing how they can influence each other. The case studies are framed by an introduction that describes the general background and a conclusion that summarises the main findings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook comprises an in-depth presentation of the state of the art in word-formation. The five volumes contain 207 articles written by leading international scholars. The XVI chapters of the handbook provide the reader, in both general articles and individual studies, with a wide variety of perspectives: word-formation as a linguistic discipline (history of science, theoretical concepts), units and processes in word-formation, rules and restrictions, semantics and pragmatics, foreign word-formation, language planning and purism, historical word-formation, word-formation in language acquisition and aphasia, word-formation and language use, tools in word-formation research. The final chapter comprises 74 portraits of word-formation in the individual languages of Europe and offers an innovative perspective. These portraits afford the first overview of this kind and will prove useful for future typological research. This handbook will provide an essential reference for both advanced students and researchers in word-formation and related fields within linguistics.

Download or read book Early Latin written by J. N. Adams and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the most detailed and comprehensive study to date of early Latin language, literary and non-literary, featuring twenty-nine chapters by an international team of scholars. 'Early Latin' is interpreted liberally as extending from the period of early inscriptions through to the first quarter of the first century BC. Classical Latin features significantly in the volume, although in a restricted sense. In the classical period there were writers who imitated the Latin of an earlier age, and there were also interpreters of early Latin. Later authors and views on early Latin language are also examined as some of these are relevant to the establishment of the text of earlier writers. A major aim of the book is to define linguistic features of different literary genres, and to address problems such as the limits of periodisation and the definition of the very concept of 'early Latin'.

Download or read book Latin as the Language of Science and Learning written by Philipp Roelli and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the role of the Latin language as a vehicle for science and learning from several angles. First, the question what was understood as ‘science’ through time and how it is named in different languages, especially the Classical ones, is approached. Criteria for what did pass as scientific are found that point to ‘science’ as a kind of Greek Denkstil based on pattern-finding and their unbiased checking. In a second part, a brief diachronic panorama introduces schools of thought and authors who wrote in Latin from antiquity to the present. Latin’s heydays in this function are clearly the time between the twelfth and eighteenth centuries. Some niches where it was used longer are examined and reasons sought why Latin finally lost this lead-role. A third part seeks to define the peculiar characteristics of scientific Latin using corpus linguistic approaches. As a result, several types of scientific writing can be identified. The question of how to transfer science from one linguistic medium to another is never far: Latin inherited this role from Greek and is in turn the ancestor of science done in the modern vernaculars. At the end of the study, the importance of Latin science for modern science in English becomes evident.
Download or read book Exploring Latin Structures Functions Meaning written by Lucie Pultrová and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-11-18 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume work contains a selection of papers first presented at the 22nd International Colloquium on Latin Linguistics, held in Prague (2023). The papers address important issues in Latin linguistics with a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches. The first volume ("Word") contains texts concerning Latin phonology, etymology, flexion and derivation, and lexical semantics, both with respect to individual words and to entire word classes. Both diachronic and synchronic perspectives are employed in the discussion of the various issues. The second volume ("Clause and Discourse") includes papers dealing with issues of syntax and semantics, and with the structure of texts and pragmatic aspects. One of the subchapters, entitled "Conversation and Dialogue", contains papers presented at the conference in a separate workshop of the same name, linked by a common methodological framework of "Conversation Analysis". This book provides essential texts for researchers in the field of Latin linguistics and may also be of use to linguists who work primarily with other languages.
Download or read book Social Variation and the Latin Language written by J. N. Adams and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 957 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Languages show variations according to the social class of speakers and Latin was no exception, as readers of Petronius are aware. The Romance languages have traditionally been regarded as developing out of a 'language of the common people' (Vulgar Latin), but studies of modern languages demonstrate that linguistic change does not merely come, in the social sense, 'from below'. There is change from above, as prestige usages work their way down the social scale, and change may also occur across the social classes. This book is a history of many of the developments undergone by the Latin language as it changed into Romance, demonstrating the varying social levels at which change was initiated. About thirty topics are dealt with, many of them more systematically than ever before. Discussions often start in the early Republic with Plautus, and the book is as much about the literary language as about informal varieties.
Download or read book The Noun Phrase in Classical Latin Prose written by Olga Spevak and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-01-09 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internal ordering of Latin noun phrases is very flexible in comparison with modern European languages. Whereas there are a number of studies devoted to the variable placement of modifiers, The Noun Phrase in Classical Latin Prose proposes an entirely new approach: a discussion of the semantic and syntactic properties of both nouns and modifiers. Using recent insights in general linguistics, it argues that not only pragmatic factors but also semantic factors (whether we are dealing with an inherent property, the author’s assessment, or a further specification of a referent) are responsible for the internal ordering of Latin noun phrases. Additionally, this book discusses prepositional phrases functioning as modifiers, and appositions, which have received little attention in the literature.
Download or read book Epigrams from the Anthologia Latina written by and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new scholarly edition consists of the Latin text, with translation and detailed commentary, of a sequence of epigrams from the Anthologia Latina (Shackleton Bailey 78-188). The introduction discusses whether these epigrams constitute a unified collection and are the work of a single author, examines their likely date and place of composition – which, it is argued, is North Africa under Vandal rule –, and sets them in their cultural context. The line-by-line commentary covers issues of literary, linguistic and historical significance. Although text and interpretation of these pieces present frequent difficulties, the author confirms that they make up a fascinating collection of considerable importance and merit, contrary to the low reputation generally associated with the Anthologia Latina. The book will be of great interest to students of Latin literature and language in general, the epigram tradition in particular, and the culture of Vandal Africa.

This book was released on with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La dérivation suffixale a fait l'objet de nombreux travaux, tant présents que passés, et cependant les composants du mot que sont les préfixes, radicaux et suffixes ne constituent pas des unités immédiatement et universellement identifiables, contrai¬rement à ce que bon nombre de grammaires laissent entendre. Dans cet ouvrage, C. Gruaz présente une théorie descriptive des dérivés suffixaux qui définit ces constituants, les hiérarchise et traite de leurs rapports formels et associatifs.
Download or read book Laughing at domestica facta written by Giuseppe Eugenio Rallo and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2024-01-22 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this monograph, the author embarks on a captivating journey to shed fresh light on the togata, a mid-Republican theatrical genre which survives only in fragments. The book seeks to answer pressing questions surrounding the togata's significance in identity construction during the middle Republic from a literary and cultural perspective. Delving deep into the fragmentary textual remains of the togata, the book explores how the Roman elite fashioned their identity. The author challenges the notion of monolithic identity construction, and explores the diverse forms of identity within the togata, offering a new perspective on the subject. This study thus positions the togata as a vital source for discerning the characteristics and beliefs by which the Romans distinguished themselves and their culture from others. By examining how Romans perceived themselves, their ideas about different social groups, and their literary and cultural ties to earlier traditions, this book aims to transform our understanding of the togata's role in Roman drama.
Download or read book D shonneur Et Honte en Latin written by Jean-François Thomas and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organise selon les methodes de l'analyse semique et de la semantique referentielle sans negliger les aspects stylistiques, litteraires et historiques, ce travail se propose d'etudier plusieurs substantifs designant le deshonneur et la honte pour expliciter leurs significations, decrire leurs relations de polysemie et leurs rapports synonymiques. Dedecus, turpitudo, flagitium et d'autres expriment plutot la disqualification du sujet en rupture avec la societe ou les reactions de la collectivite envers lui: scandale, injure, discredit, affront. Pudor et uerecundia, qui expriment peu le deshonneur, sont les termes courants pour la honte et denomment en meme temps le sentiment de l'honneur, selon une antonymie interne qui trouve son unite superieure dans l'idee de conscience morale. La semantique invite ainsi a reflechir sur le fonctionnement de la societe romaine, ou il s'agit d'etre digne de soi sous le regard des autres.

Download or read book Complex Words written by Lívia Körtvélyessy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A state-of-the-art survey of complex words, this volume brings together a team of leading international morphologists to demonstrate the wealth and breadth of the study of word-formation. Encompassing methodological, empirical and theoretical approaches, each chapter presents the results of cutting-edge research into linguistic complexity, including lexico-semantic aspects of complex words, the structure of complex words, and corpus-based case studies. Drawing on examples from a wide range of languages, it covers both general aspects of word-formation, and aspects specific to particular languages, such as English, French, Greek, Basque, Spanish, German and Slovak. Theoretical considerations are supported by a number of in-depth case studies focusing on the role of affixes, as well as word-formation processes such as compounding, affixation and conversion. Attention is also devoted to typological issues in word-formation. The book will be an invaluable resource for academic researchers and graduate students interested in morphology, linguistic typology and corpus linguistics.
