Abstract:

The preterite-present verbs of the Germanic languages have long presented an anomaly to linguistic description. Not only has an inconstant and less than easily categorised syntactic and morphological status been attributed to the members of this group, an unlikely origin narrative is implicated in their thematic presents, which evince a striking commonality of form with the preterites of the corresponding strong verb classes. In this thesis, the matter of the processes of change behind the development of the preterite-presents is revisited. An attempt is made to ascertain whether a revised tak

Abstract:

This thesis is an investigation of the relation between language and thought in terms of the Saussurean concept of linguistic sign. However, it is not an empirical study of the relation between language and thought and, therefore, not a study of the Whorfian problem of linguistic relativity, but rather a study of how we understand the nature of language and thought such that we think they are related in a certain way. This thesis is an investigation of the “metaphysical” picture that underlies our understanding of the relation between language and thought. In this study, we believe that how

O objetivo geral da presente tese, é demonstrar que o tema linguagem, em seus mais variados vieses, é fundamental para que se possa compreender a concepção política de Rousseau. Para tanto é fundamental que se aborde o tema em questão sob diversas perspectivas. Em primeiro lugar faz-se o necessário recuo à tradição retórico-moral, para verificar a dívida de Rousseau para com autores como: Platão, Plutarco e Quintiliano, que ajudaram a formar seu arcabouço teórico. Em segundo lugar, apresenta-se o debate acerca da origem e da função da linguagem e suas vinculações com os temas da política, inst

Jenkins, Rommany. "The origin and role of sospiro in the poetry of Guido Cavalcanti." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2017. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/7400/.

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the keyword sospiro (‘sigh’) in the poetry of Guido Cavalcanti. It reads this word in relation to the lyric poetry of Occitania and Italy, and medical literature related to lovesickness. It approaches Cavalcanti’s work in this way in order to avoid the distortion of a Dantean lens, as part of a trend since the anniverary of his death in 2000 towards considering Cavalcanti’s work on its own terms. Inspired by Raymond Williams’ Keywords, this thesis looks beyond the familiar presence of sospiro in lyric poetry, revealing a word acting as a locus of innovative expression. I

Abstract:

<p> </p><p>Languages rely on grammatical rules, by which even such variable constituents as adverbials are affected. However, due to the many different positions in Old English sentences taken up by adverbials, it is easy to wrongfully assume that there is an absence of grammatical rules regarding adverbials in Old English. Hence, it may be possible to detect patterns of behaviour among Old English adverbs if their different position and movement within various clauses is studied systematically. This paper has been focused on examining two conjunct adverbs, and two disjunct adverbs, functionin

Abstract:

My dissertation argues that comics’ unique formal properties are particularly suited toward exploring and representing the complex nature of identity. Just as the comics form is broadly defined by a peculiar tension between word and image, so identity can be conceived as a constant negotiation between abstract (“unrepresentable”) concepts that define identity and an individual’s attempts to represent that identity. Due to its formal negotiation of word and image, the comics form is thus uniquely suited to address the problems of identity and its representation. I begin this project by exami

If we want to compare the explanatory and descriptive adequacy of the MP and OT, the original definitions by Chomsky (1964) are or little direct use. However, a relativized version of both notions can be defined, which can be used to express a number of parallels between the study of individual I-languages and the language faculty. In any version of explanatory and descriptive adequacy, the two notions derive from the research programme and can only be achieved together. They can therefore not be used to characterize the difference in orientation between OT and the MP. Even if ‘OT’ is restrict

Here, old and new linguistic universals, i.e. properties obeyed by all languages on Earth are investigated. Basic principles of language predicting linguistic universals are also investigated. More precisely, two principles of reference, i.e. coding least effort and decoding least effort, a reformulation of G. K. Zipf's speaker and hearer least e ort principles. Such referential principles predict Zipf's law, a universal of word frequencies, at the maximum tension between coding and decoding needs. Although trivial processes have been proposed for explaining Zipf's law in non-linguistic conte

Abstract:

This thesis discusses the function and perception of the Venetian (or Venetan) tongue from a sociolinguistic diachronic perspective. Venetian, spoken by over 6 million people in 7 countries, in an Italian context is referred to as an Italian dialect. Though defined as language in Brazil, by the Veneto region in Italy and by several international organizations (amongst them UN and UNESCO), the Italian State does not confirm its status. Venetian appeared as a written language in the XII century, anticipating the earliest texts in Italian itself in the Florentine form. From the ninth century

Abstract:

The translation of tourist texts, in addition to the usual challenges of any translation, has to deal with the difficulty of adequately translating the advertising message. This paper, titled “The translation of advertising features of a tourist text - Spanish source text, Swedish target text”, focuses on this issue by comparing a source text in Spanish with its translation into Swedish (elaborated by the author). Attention is given to the characteristics that convey the selling message of the text: the slogan, titles, paragraph-final sentences, and a series of genre-typical features like the

Los cambios en el terreno lingüístico que la globalización ha comportado a través del crecimiento de la movilidad y, específicamente, de las migraciones internacionales se reflejan de forma especialmente clara en los centros educativos donde en la actualidad conviven múltiples prácticas comunicativas con diversas ideologías lingüísticas nacionales. Esta tesis describe y analiza el papel de los conocimientos y los aprendizajes lingüísticos del alumnado de origen inmigrante, el impacto de la movilidad en la construcción lingüística e identitaria y las condiciones de su incorporación en la escuel

Abstract:

This dissertation examines how the new “multicultural phase” anthologies of American literature treat American history. Anthologies of American literature are more historical, more diverse, and more multidisciplinary than ever before, but they have over-extended themselves in both their historical and representational reach. They are not, despite their diversity and historicism, effective vehicles for promoting critical discussions of American history in the classroom. Chapter One outlines a brief history of anthologies of American literature, while also introducing the terminology and method
