Voice and Versification in Translating Poems
ISBN: 9780776622774 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Great poets like Shelley and Goethe have made the claim that translating poems is impossible. And yet, poems are translated; not only that, but the metrical systems of English, French, Italian, German, Russian and Czech have been shaped by the translation of poems. Our poetic traditions are inspired by translations of Homer, Dante, Goethe and Baudelaire. How can we explain this paradox? James W. Underhill responds by offering an informed account of meter, rhythm, rhyme, and versification. But more than that, the author stresses that what is important in the poem--and what must be...

Humboldt, Worldview and Language
ISBN: 9780748668793 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. With the loss of many of the world's languages, it is important to question what will be lost to humanity with their demise.

Attributed to German politician and philologist Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835), the term has since been adopted by numerous linguists. Within specialist circles it has become associated with what is known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis which suggests that the nature of a language influences the thought of its speakers and that different language patterns yield different...
