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...

ISBN: 9783631535752 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Ancrene Wisse is perhaps the most notable monument of Middle English prose, its influence evident from the time of its composition in the early thirteenth century until at least the Reformation. As the only Early Middle English work of considerable length to survive in more than two copies, it is a unique resource for the study of textual variation according to dialect, date, milieu and stylistic preferences. This edition presents four versions those of the early Corpus, Cleopatra and Nero manuscripts, and the late and substantially modernised version of the Vernon manuscript. To...

Graphemics and Morphosyntax in the «Cely Letters» (1472-88)
ISBN: 9783631513743 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This monograph provides a detailed description of the language of the Cely Letters, the earliest extant collection of commercial correspondence in English (1472-88). The authors of the letters in question are English wool merchants, members of the middle class. The focus of this corpus-based analysis is morphosyntactic, but much attention is also paid to the orthographic systems traceable in the letters. The results of the structural-functional research indicate that although the language of the Celys exhibits several new tendencies, it preserves numerous orthographic, morphological...

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...

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 collection of papers addresses the perennial problem of the relation between language and meaning. It proposes various theoretical approaches to the issue ranging from a synergetic theory of meaning merging the cognitive and the socio-historical perspectives, through holistic, evolutionary models and a revision of some of the assumptions of Cognitive Metaphor Theory to the discussion of the role of pragmatic competence in meaning construction. A number of papers make recourse to corpus based studies and psycholinguistic experiments. The topics of specific linguistic investigations cover...

Irish literature in various ways deals with the tragic and complex past of the country, as well as an equally interesting present. The irony of the art is always...

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...
