Abstract:

This book aims to give a new meaning to corporate identity, presenting an alternative model of analysis and intervention which, through the alchemical system, borrowed from Jungian psychoanalysis and already applied in literature, is able to concentrate on the deepest roots of the company and extract a mythical patrimony, not only useful for the corporate storytelling but for the reconstruction of the identity itself.

Abstract:

This book explores possible and impossible word meanings, with a specific focus on the meanings of verbs. It adopts the now common view that verb meanings consist at least partly of an event structure, made up of an event template describing the verb’s broad temporal and causal contours that occurs across lots of verbs and groups them into semantic and grammatical classes, plus an idiosyncratic root describing specific, real world states and actions that distinguish verbs with the same template. While much work has focused on templates, less work has addressed the truth conditional contributio

Abstract:

This chapter argues that there is a typology of languages according to how much meaning a root encodes independently of its syntactic categorization. This typology is illustrated by an in-depth discussion of three languages: English, Greek, and Hebrew. Hebrew is argued to represent one end of the scale where the root encodes a minimal and highly abstract meaning. English represents the other end where the root has a severely restricted meaning. The two languages differ in terms of the role of functional morphology, which is crucial in Hebrew but not at all a central part of English. Greek is i

Abstract:

Spontaneous speech data from three monolingual Turkish-speaking children between the ages 2;1 and 2;8 revealed that children produce bare lexical stems in ungrammatical contexts before they use grammatical morphemes productively. Given that root words are very rare in Turkish, the fact that Turkish children produce them indicates that they are able to decompose multimorphemic words into root + grammatical affixes. We also tested the hypothesis that when the correspondence between morphological form and grammatical meaning is one-to-one, morphemes are likely to be acquired earlier than when the

Abstract:

This book is an investigation of Arabic derivational morphology that focuses on the relationship between verb meaning and linguistic form. Beginning with the ground form, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of the most common verb patterns of Arabic from a lexical semantic perspective. Peter Glanville explains why verbs with seemingly unrelated meanings share the same phonological shape, and analyses sets of words that contain the same consonantal root to arrive at a common abstraction. He uses both contemporary and historical data to explore the semantics of reflexivity, symmetry, causat

Abstract:

Chapter 2 establishes the semantic makeup of word meaning in general, dividing it into semantic structure and conceptual content. It familiarizes the reader with roots and patterns in Arabic morphology, investigating the semantic abstractions discernable in sets of words that share a root, in addition to the semantic structure shared by words formed in the same pattern. The chapter introduces the notion of shape-invariant morphology, arriving at an approach to Arabic morphology in which some derivation is rule-based, with operations being carried out directly on base words, whereas another typ

Abstract:

This chapter surveys recent work on the diachrony of modality, mood, and subjectivity. It first considers the research over the past thirty years into the development of modal forms and meanings—which is largely dominated by the study of English, and more broadly the Germanic languages, in the context of grammaticalization theory. It focuses on the nature of the source constructions for modal forms, on the emergence of epistemic functions from deontic or root modality, and on the role of syntactic development for the emergence of modal meanings. The chapter then discusses work on the diachroni

Abstract:

The chapter presents the role of stress and stress-related vocalic differentiation in creating a pattern of root allomorphy (the N-pattern), which distinguishes the singular and third-person forms of the present indicative and subjunctive, and of the imperative, from the rest of the paradigm. It is shown how numerous innovatory patterns (including suppletion, defectiveness, heteroclisis, and periphrases) replicate this pattern in diachrony. The possible role of markedness or of residual phonological conditioning is critically considered. It is suggested that the verb meaning ‘go’ may have play

Abstract:

When the term ‘confabulation’ entered the medical literature, it referred to the emergence of memories of events and experiences that never happened. However, its Latin root—meaning ‘to gossip, to chat’—allowed for a broader use of the term. This chapter gives the classic and the present-day definitions of confabulations and proposes a distinction between memory-related (mnestic) and non-memory-related (non-mnestic) confabulations. Early clinical observations already suggested the distinction between different forms of mnestic confabulations. Based on the literature and our own studies, I prop

Abstract:

In this chapter, I reevaluate the question of whether Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) memorialization in Sri Lanka does or does not root itself in religion. I argue that “the religion question” has at times had the unhelpful effect of encouraging scholars to seek interpretive singularity in symbols, rhetoric, and events that may in fact be conspicuously and deliberately multivocal, and to see consistency in practices that have changed substantially over time. Looking at LTTE commemoration practices outside the context of the religion question allows one to see that, rather than simply

This chapter argues that a second phase of poetic Anglo-Saxonism began to overtake the first as the science of the New Philology began to make itself felt from the 1830s onwards. This rendered obsolete the first model of Anglo-Saxon as the living root of English literary tradition. Instead poets began to tap the etymological meaning of modern English words of Anglo-Saxon origin, as well to resurrect extinct words and grammatical forms from Anglo-Saxon.

This chapter argues that the extreme variability of schizophrenic phenotypes is a paradigmatic case study for explicating the dialectics between uncanny feelings of depersonalization/derealization and the attitude of the person who experiences them. Why do persons who suffer from these kinds of anomalous self-, body-, and world-experiences develop either a delusional form of schizophrenia or a ‘pauci-symptomatic’ type of this illness, or a schizotypal personality disorder? Why do delusions in people with schizophrenia take on so many different themes, and not only ontological ones, but also, f

‘Word’ is a cornerstone for the understanding of every language. It is a pronounceable phonological unit. It will also have a meaning, and a grammatical characterization-a morphological structure and a syntactic function. And it will be an entry in a dictionary and an orthographic item. ‘Word’ has ‘psychological reality’ for speakers, enabling them to talk about the meaning of a word, its appropriateness for use in a certain social context, and so on. This volume investigates ‘word’ in its phonological and grammatical guises, and how this concept can be applied to languages of distinct typolog

Fields are evolving and often contentious social orders, characterized either by common or conflicting interpretations about the purposes, relationships, and rules of interaction within the field. Collaborating partners appraise and may renegotiate institutional arrangements—thereby establishing a new negotiated order for the field. This may necessitate reconciling partners’ competing frames about what the field should be. We adopt an interactional

This chapter uses especially cases of suppletion in the history of Romance languages to illustrate the role of morphomic patterns in diachrony. It also places Romance verb morphology in the wider context of Romance inflexional morphology, including those of the noun and of the adjective. It observes that suppletion practically never assumes anything but a morphomic distribution and is practically limited to the verb. Comparison is made with some Italo-Romance and Daco-Romance varieties where suppletion is indeed (occasionally) found in the noun and adjective (and is usually not morphomic). The

Recent decades have seen a blossoming of academic and scholarly concern with comics.

But other perspectives have also begun to flourish amidst this verdant landscape of comics studies. These approaches seek to question the reliance on structural linguistics and the tools of English and cultur
