Abstract:
Dutch Post-war Fiction Film through a Lens of Psychoanalysis is a sequel to Humour and Irony in Dutch Post-war Fiction Film (AUP, 2016), but the two studies can be read separately. Because of the sheer variety of Fons Rademakers’ oeuvre, which spans ‘art’ cinema and cult, genre film and historical epics, each chapter will start with one of his titles to introduce a key concept from psychoanalysis. It is an oft-voiced claim that Dutch cinema strongly adheres to realism, but this idea is put into perspective by using psychoanalytic theories on desire and fantasy. In the vein of cinephilia, this

Abstract:
This book is the first comprehensive systematic introduction to the linguistics of humor. Assuming no background in humor studies at all, and an elementary knowledge of linguistics, all the terminology and conceptual apparatus of humor studies are introduced, as well as all the linguistic concepts necessary to understand the most up-to-date formulations in the linguistics and applied linguistics of humor. The book is not limited to the theoretical linguistic analyses of humor (for example the General Theory of Verbal humor or the Isotopy Disjunction Model), but has a broad approach encompassin

Abstract:
Verbal mood is a linguistic category which marks how a clause is used in the computation of subsentential modal meaning. Most prominently exemplified by indicative and subjunctive verb forms, verbal mood has been the subject of much research in linguistics. This chapter outlines the key data showing how verbal mood functions in grammar and presents the most important theories of verbal mood. It evaluates these theories, formalizes and synthesizes their most significant insights, and identifies the most important central issues for future research on this topic.

Abstract:
The category of mood is widely used in the description of languages and the formal analysis of their grammatical properties. It typically refers to features of a sentence’s form (or a class of sentences which share such features), either individual morphemes or grammatical patterns, which reflect how the sentence contributes to the modal meaning of a larger phrase or which indicates the type of fundamental pragmatic function it has in conversation. The first subtype, verbal mood, includes the categories of indicative and subjunctive subordinate clauses; the second sentence mood, encompasses de

Abstract:
This chapter outlines childhood’s spiritual strengths and needs. Psychological theories and empirical research suggest that spiritual capacity is a natural condition of early childhood, arising in everyday experience. Contemporary scholarship identifies key strengths that underpin childhood spirituality. These include children’s heightened sensitivity to non-verbal, embodied, and emotional ways of knowing, and a less dominating verbal and intellectual approach to experience. This privileges children’s spiritual capacity for ‘relational consciousness’, and is evident in attention to mystery, de

Abstract:
This chapter examines the numerous places where words and images combine or collide in Romantic literature and culture, such as in book production and illustration; in poetry, painting, and theories of the two as ‘sister arts’; in ekphrastic literary texts; in prints and annuals; and in exhibitions and galleries. The chapter explores the historical and artistic context for a range of dynamic experiments that raise conceptual questions about visual and verbal representation, and the nature of the connections between them. At the same time, it unsettles the apparently dual nature of a relationsh

Abstract:
Inner speech lies at the chaotic intersection of numerous difficult questions in contemporary philosophy and psychology. On the one hand, inner speech utterances are private mental events of a kind. On the other, they resemble speech acts of the sort used in interpersonal communication. Thought and its linguistic expression appear to overlap. Further, inner speech is at once imagistic in nature, having a characteristic auditory-verbal phenomenology; yet it also appears suitable to carrying complex linguistic contents. In another apparent clash, inner speech episodes seem to constitute or expre

Abstract:
The use of default agreement plays a key role in morphological theories from diverse perspectives, as well as in many analyses of child language acquisition. In this paper, the development of ergative and dative agreement and case in 20 bilingual and 11 monolingual Basque-speaking children between 2;00-3;06 years old is examined. I propose that the most commonly-produced errors in child Basque involve the substitution of unmarked absolutive forms for ergative and dative case and dative verbal morphemes; for independent reasons, the absolutive is considered to be unmarked inflection in adult Ba

Abstract:
This paper discusses classic and recent findings on the cross-cultural communication of emotions, highlighting the dialect theory of emotion. Dialect theory uses a linguistic metaphor to argue emotion is a universal language with dialects that have subtle differences from each other. As in verbal language, it is more challenging to understand someone speaking a different dialect. This notion is meant to integrate decades of empirical findings. Notably, research supports an in-group advantage, whereby individuals are more accurate judging emotional expressions from their own cultural group vers

Abstract:
One of the most overlooked moral responsibilities of parenting is nurturing a child’s unique personality and providing guidance toward an independent future. Children with delays in development depend on parents for prolonged periods, for physical care and for nurturing their emerging personhood. Following theories of family holding and identity formation proposed by Hilde Lindemann, this chapter analyzes the moral task of upholding identity for children whose special needs include speech or developmental delays.

Abstract:
James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake abounds with prayers from all traditions, and their echoes and cadences may be found on almost every page. Bringing together thinkers from antiquity, the Middle Ages, early Enlightenment, and the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this book argues that Joyce views prayer as theory of language. It gives Joyce a verbal strategy for discussing immaterial things from which he composes his book of the night: image, magic, dreams, and speech. Beginning with the second-century theologian Origen’s treatise On Prayer, as well as the eighteenth-century philosopher and rheto

Abstract:
This book traces how intermedial experiments shape modernist texts from 1900 to 1950. Considering literature alongside painting, sculpture, photography, and film, the book examines how these arts inflect narrative movement, contribute to plot events, and configure poetry and memoir. As forms and formal theories cross from one artistic realm to another and back again, modernism shows its obsession with form—and even at times becomes a formalism itself—but as the book states, that form is far more dynamic than we have given it credit for. Form fulfills such various functions that we cannot chara
