Henderson, Jonathan. "The Historical Thesaurus and the sentimental language of Robert Burns." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2016. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/7294/.

Abstract:

This thesis demonstrates a new methodology for the linguistic analysis of literature drawing on the data within The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary (2009). Developing ideas laid out by Carol McGuirk in her book Robert Burns and the Sentimental Era (1985), this study offers a novel approach to the cultural connections present in the sentimental literature of the eighteenth century, with specific reference to Robert Burns. In doing so, it responds to the need to “stop reading Burns through glossaries and start reading him through dictionaries, thesauruses and histories”, as

Abstract:

My dissertation looks critically at Grace Aguilar’s historical romance novels and short stories, and investigates English writers’ uses of history in early- to mid-nineteenth century fiction. Shifting the current critical emphasis on Aguilar’s Jewish texts, I have analyzed the ways in which Aguilar revises the genres of the national tale, the gothic romance, and the medieval romance in order to demonstrate her participation in the construction of nineteenth-century domestic values. In Chapter One, I introduce to critical debate Aguilar’s juvenilia, relying on unpublished manuscripts and novels

Abstract:

Traditional brickwork, of quality materials, well detailed, and built by good craftsmen, requires little maintenance throughout its life. Inevitably, older buildings face varying degrees of maintenance and change, including repair of brick fabric. Many of these buildings might incorporate cut and rubbed brickwork, and gauged enrichments, of architectural, historic, and social significance. It is therefore vital that cut and rubbed and gauged work is carried out in a fully informed manner so as not to adversely affect the character, integrity, and structural stability of the building.

Abstract:

This study examines the role of history in the writings of the English deists, a group of heterodox religious controversialists who were active from the last quarter of the seventeenth century until the middle of the eighteenth century. Its main sources are the published works of the deists and their opponents, but it also draws, where possible, on manuscript sources. Not all of the deists were English (one was Irish and another was of Welsh extraction), but the term ‘English Deists’ has been used on the grounds that the majority of deists were English and that they published overwhelmingly in

Abstract:

In Modern English, EACH OTHER and ONE ANOTHER are morphologically fixed as reciprocal compound pronouns. The reciprocal construction has been developed and used in every period of the English language. The main purpose of this study, nevertheless, was to investigate the ways to express the notion of reciprocity in Middle English and Early Modern English.The morphological analyses of the citations demonstrate that Middle English employed a great variety of head words and phrases than does Modern English in reciprocal structures.

Abstract:

The source of the pollen preserved within fossil assemblages is one of the most important factors to be considered when attempting to reconstruct fonner vegetation landscapes. Due to its mode of dispersal, at anyone time a pollen assemblage is a spatially aggregated record or pollen from local, extra-local and regional vegetation. Studies of pollen recruitment to lakes with surface inflows have shown that fluvial transport plays a dominant role in the recruitment of pollen to these sites. Pollen assemblage fonnation in lakes is further complicated by lirnnological processes which may affect th

Two traditions have arisen from an ongoing debate concerning cross-linguistic laryngeal representations in series of obstruents.

The second, Laryngeal Realism (LR), assumes underlyingly different representations between languages: ‘aspiration languages’ have unspecified /b, d, g/, and /p, t, k/ specified for |spread|. ‘Voice languages’ have unspecified /p, t, k/, and /b, d, g/ specified for |voice|.

Abstract:

For all the criticism that has been leveled against cultural representations of the American West, ideas of the westward expansion and its significance have remained powerful impulses for the negotiation of history and identity. Such notions of the past, and the cultural symbology with which they can be expressed, are more or less available to writers and other cultural agents for employment in political, cultural, or literary discourse. Understood in this way, the imagined West, to use Richard White's term, has continued to supply material that affirms or contests political and ideological ch

Abstract:

The extraordinary proliferation of historical writing in late twelfth-century England has attracted much comment, but defies straightforward explanation. As such, this thesis makes no attempt at an all-encompassing elucidation of this diverse range of texts; it seeks instead to study one feature of some of the chronicles produced at this time, just as other studies have illuminated, for instance, the concern for administrative history shared by a number of chroniclers. The feature in question is a marked eschatological awareness. We may identify three factors that contributed to this. First, t

This thesis investigates native speaker attitudes towards English loanwords in Japanese and the ways in which these loanwords are used. The imperialism and hegemony of English can often cause anger or worry for the preservation of the cultural identity of the borrowing language. However, the results from a 9-page sociolinguistic questionnaire suggest that English loanwords are overwhelmingly seen as useful and necessary and are generally associated with positive attitudes. Additionally, many native Japanese speakers feel that loanwords provide more options for expression, both functionally and

This thesis examines the literary incompatibility of two different currents in eighteenth-century Scottish history, exemplified by the figurative use of 'slavery' to refer to the oppression of Scots and the simultaneous effacement of Scotland's involvement in the practice of plantation slavery in the colonies. The focus of the competing histories is Scotland's entry into the sphere of social and economic progress opened up by the Union of 1707. In the traditional version, this happens at the expense of the Jacobites, who are left out of the modern British polity because of their unassimilable

Thus, although observational studies have been able to describe the effects of the process of interaction within the courtroom, they have been unable to explain why magistrates' justice is characterised by a relative lack of due process.

Abstract:

This thesis argues against the common assumption that English writers ignored the ethical problems of war during the particularly brutal wars of Edward III, king of England, 1327–77. English historical literature in this period is typically mined for ‘facts’ to create visions of the past, or read as literature with little context, but never properly considered for its engagement with the morality of warfare. Chapter One shows that the many uncertain aspects of war, such as intention, are those that most affect how military acts are judged. Chapter Two argues that writers use theo-retical frame

As such, historical novels have always revealed as much about the socio-political context of their moment of production as they do about their historical settings.
