Unconventional Anthroponyms
Author: Oliviu Felecan
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443868620
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 550
Book Description
Unconventional Anthroponyms: Formation Patterns and Discursive Function continues a series of collective volumes comprising studies on onomastics, edited by Oliviu Felecan with Cambridge Scholars Publishing. Previous titles in this series include Name and Naming: Synchronic and Diachronic Perspectives (2012) and Onomastics in Contemporary Public Space (2013, co-edited with Alina Bugheşiu). In contemporary naming practice, one can distinguish two verbal (linguistic) means of nominal referential identification: a “natural” one, which occurs in the process of conventional, official, canonical, standard naming and results in conventional/official/canonical/standard anthroponyms; a “motivated” one, which occurs in the process of unconventional, unofficial, uncanonical, non-standard naming and results in unconventional/unofficial/uncanonical/non-standard anthroponyms. The significance of an official name is arbitrary, conventional, unmotivated, occasional and circumstantial, as names are not likely to carry any intrinsic meaning; names are given by third parties (parents, godparents, other relatives and so on) with the intention to individualise (to differentiate from other individuals). Any meaning with which a name might be endowed should be credited to the name giver: s/he assigns several potential interpretations to the phonetic form of choice, based on his/her aesthetic and cultural options and other kinds of tastes, which are manifested at a certain time. Unconventional anthroponyms (nicknames, bynames, user names, pseudonyms, hypocoristics, individual and group appellatives that undergo anthroponymisation) are nominal “derivatives” that result from a name giver’s wish to attach a specifying/defining verbal (linguistic) tag to a certain individual. An unconventional anthroponym is a person’s singular signum, which may convey a practical necessity (to avoid anthroponymic homonymy: the existence of several bearers for a particular name) or the intention to qualify a certain human type (to underline specific difference – in this case, the unconventional anthroponym has an over-individualising role – or, on the contrary, to mark an individual’s belonging to a class, his/her association with other individuals with whom s/he is typologically related – see the case of generic unconventional anthroponyms).

An Unconventional God
Author: Jack Levison
Publisher: Baker Academic
ISBN: 1493427261
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Popular author Jack Levison offers a fresh take on the Holy Spirit through a careful reading of every reference to the Spirit in the Gospels. Viewed through the lens of Jesus's life, death, and resurrection, the Spirit shows up at odd times and in odd teachings--in desert sojourns, a strange saying about scorpions and snakes, and puzzling sayings about birth from above and springs from below. Grounded in scholarship, yet accessible and inviting, this companion volume to Levison's A Boundless God analyzes key aspects of Jesus's experience of the Holy Spirit, offering nuggets of insight on every page.

Bioterrorism
Author: Daniela Georgiana GOLEA
Publisher: GOLEA DANIELA GEORGIANA
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 520
Book Description
These are just some of the questions to be addressed in this paper. We do not pretend to give the final and complete answers, as the field under study still has many grey areas and even some areas completely unexplored by scientific research. We aim to at least open the discussion on the subject of bioterrorism, without claiming to be the supreme authority in the field or the final voice. We do not even pretend that our work is relevant in terms of security solutions in such a complex and fluid security environment, where situations and states of affairs can change dramatically from year to year. However, our aim in this series of papers on bioterrorism is to clarify a number of notions, concepts and theoretical or practical issues necessary for the general public to understand what bioterrorism is all about and what we should expect in the coming years. At the time of writing, the COVID-19 crisis is still in full swing, despite some apparent improvements over the last few weeks. This may only be the beginning of a series of widening and deepening crises that are hitting human society, again and again confronting it with great existential questions. The current COVID-19 crisis is and will continue to be followed by severe economic and social impacts that are almost impossible to predict. Situations in which crises break out everywhere and in all sorts of ways, and situations in which the states of the world are gathering into increasingly isolated and hostile groups, are nothing other than the specific preconditions for the outbreak of world conflicts. We have no intention whatsoever of promoting defeatism or of creating and spreading alarmist rumours for who knows what obscure purposes. The situation is simply worrying, at times reaching alarming levels that go beyond mere fear of the future. The bioterrorist phenomenon is beginning to emerge more and more clearly as a concrete threat to the present and the near future. From this point of view, an effort will have to be made (or at least begun) to enlighten the general public on how this new threat could materialise. Authors Cătălin Hideg Daniela Georgiana Golea
