This corpus-based study examines the orthographic systems in thirteen editions of the Kalender of Shepherdes (1506-1656), a comprehensive compendium of prose and verse texts of different length and on a variety of subjects, for example, astronomy, agriculture, medicine, and religion. It focuses on the variation and consistency levels in the early-modern printers' spelling practice, and evaluates the potential importance of extra-linguistic motivation for the identified regularising changes from the language authorities of the time, including lexicographers, spelling reformers,...

Scribes, Printers, and the Accidentals of Their Texts
ISBN: 9783631607121 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The essays in this collection demonstrate that much can be learned from studying features such as word-division, printer s type, and spelling conventions. These features termed -accidentals- by W. W. Greg typically receive little attention when editors discuss how a text became actualized in a particular medieval manuscript or early modern print. To study these features, it is essential to consider a text in the context of the manuscript or print housing it, rather than a modern edition. The texts discussed range in genre from religious (AElfric s Letter to Sigeweard, and the...

The Old English Riddles and the Riddlic Elements of Old English Poetry
ISBN: 9783631523599 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The art of posing riddles is possibly as old as mankind and spans two apparent extremes which, nevertheless, converge in the riddlic form: that of wisdom and that of play. With this perspective in mind, the author examines the poetic enigmas present in the culture of Anglo-Saxon England, exploring both the Anglo-Latin riddles of Aldhelm and those recorded in the Exeter Book. His study investigates the Old English riddlic texts from a variety of angles, arguing for the possibility of establishing patterns of Anglo-Saxon riddlic composition as such. Rafal Boryslawski intends to prove that both...

The Beginnings of Standardization: Language and Culture in Fourteenth-Century England
ISBN: 9783631551066 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Developing a written standard is one of the most fundamental institutional achievements of a society. On the threshold to the Modern Era the vernaculars massively gained ground in writing throughout Western Europe. They soon underwent regularization and eventually standardization. In England, however, the situation was quite different from that of the continent: well into the 14th century the literate space was filled mainly by Latin and French. For a long time Chaucer has been regarded as having brought about the victory of English. But recent research calls for a broader perspective...

Non-European Women in Chaucer: A Postcolonial Study
ISBN: 9783631550571 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Since Jeffrey Jerome Cohen edited The Postcolonial Middle Ages in 2000, some scholars have applied postcolonial criticism to the study of the Middle Ages. However, even in postcolonial studies of Chaucer, the role of non-European women in his work has not yet been fully discussed. Using postcolonial theory, the author explores how Chaucer represents non-European women, his Others both in gender and in culture. Her examination of non-European women in his work from a non-Westerner s point of view reveals that his representation is complicated and ambivalent, showing diverse views. The...

Poor Paul: L Vocalisation and the Process of Syllable-Coda Weakening
ISBN: 9783631569139 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. L Vocalisation (milk miuk]) originated in London a century ago and contributes to the linguistic phenomenon of -Dialect Levelling-. This study investigates L Vocalisation in the speech of the middle classes and reveals its widespread acceptance. The social factors Age and Gender are significant: young male adults are in the lead. L Vocalisation prevails in the speech of people in the South of England with regional links to urban areas. Back vowels encourage this process, whilst front vowels still hinder it. Thus, bulb is more likely to be pronounced as bAub] than...

Middle Scots Inflectional System in the South-West of Scotland
ISBN: 9783631514399 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book is the first comprehensive analysis of Middle Scots inflectional morphology of the south-western dialect. The study has been based on the Wigtown Burgh Court Book (1512-1534), the earliest extant text from Galloway. The initial folios of the same text served to create the Linguistic Profile of Wigtownshire in the Linguistic Atlas of Late Medieval English (LALME). The atlas s findings, however, need some major revisions in the treatment of inflections, as shown in the present work. To create a sufficient socio-historical background for the analysis, some space has also been...

Robert Lowell: Uncomfortable Epigone of the Grands Maîtres
ISBN: 9783631536070 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. With some features of an intellectual biography, this book offers a radical re-examination of Robert Lowell s entire oeuvre. The author finds in it a sustained, if erratic, effort to move beyond the high-modernist paradigm. The book begins by exploring the aesthetic and ethical dilemmas the poet was confronted with at the start of his career, dilemmas which were only temporarily resolved in the deceptive mode of confessionalism. Incorporating some material from the poet s unpublished manuscripts, the author argues that the late Lowell seeks a poetic mode that would be both more public and...

Meaning and Translation: Part 1: Meaning
ISBN: 9783631630068 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Since translation cannot be approached in isolation from meaning, anything that is said about translation must necessarily be placed in the context of meaning. Accordingly, the first volume of the book concerns this necessary context, while the second volume will view translation in terms of the semantic framework presented in the first volume. Both volumes are to a large extent consistent with major tenets of cognitive linguistics. The work is addressed primarily to students pursuing translation studies but also to all those persons who are interested in semantics and translation for...

The Syntax of Numeral Noun Constructions: A View from Polish
ISBN: 9783631740651 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Numeral constructions in Polish are known for their complex morpho-syntax: in particular, depending on the type, case and syntactic context, the numeral may show properties of the adjective or the noun. This volume presents a comprehensive analysis of these constructions set in the current generative-minimalist model of grammar, with elements of nano-syntax. The authors pay particular attention to a feature-based derivation of the numeral construction in its different versions, including complex multiplicative numerals, as well as its distribution in the clause. Numerals in the subject...

Word Derivation in Early Middle English
ISBN: 9783631583722 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. No comprehensive study of Early Middle English derivation has been published thus far. This book is an attempt to remedy the situation, at least to give a detailed analysis of one class of suffixes, i.e., seven suffixes forming abstract nouns. They are both of native (-dom, -s(c)hipe(e), -hod(e) and nes(se)) and French origin (-age, -(e)rie and -ment). The analysis includes the semantics of the suffixes both from a diachronic and a synchronic perspective as well as their productivity and dialect distribution. The study is data-oriented, hence...

This volume is a posthumous revised edition of selected papers by Andrzej Kopcewicz on classic works of American and Irish fiction, published originally between 1979 and 2005. The book opens with two introductory sketches: a semi-theoretical one on intertextuality and a semi-historical one on the interaction of high and low literary forms. The gist of the book are textual analyses of the intricacies and reciprocities of some of the best-known works by Herman Melville, Frank R. Stockton, Henry Adams, Thomas Pynchon, Gilbert Sorrentino, Donald Barthelme, Paul Auster, Flann O Brien, and James...

In Search of Communication and Community: The Poetry of John Ashbery
ISBN: 9783631551226 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book is an attempt to offer a reading of the poet s uvre that will venture beyond indeterminacy and retrieve a human struggle inscribed in the poetry. The author proposes an eclectic approach that allows the reader to see Ashbery s poetry as part of a fascinating intellectual landscape. Departing from the work of such critics as Perloff, Bloom, and Altieri, the study structures lively transactions between poetry, literary criticism, art, and the work of philosophers: Stanley Cavell, Richard Rorty, Donald Davidson, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Such background provides a theoretical platform...

Transcribing the Territory; Or, Rethinking Resistance: A Study in Classic American Fiction
ISBN: 9783631635407 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Inspired by Martin Heidegger s notion of being-in-the-world, this study presents a quasi-phenomenological close reading of Herman Melville s most famous novella Bartleby the Scrivener and Mark Twain s most famous novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It is meant as a broad critique of both cultural and intellectual rhetoric of recalcitrance, estrangement and awayness that has long predominated within interpretations of American literature. The study refers selectively to the works of such classic authors as James F. Cooper, Washington Irving, R. W. Emerson, H. D. Thoreau, Walt...
