Book Description
Dieser Band vereinigt 25 Beiträge zur Tagung Englische Sprachwissenschaft und Mediävistik: Standpunkte und Perspektiven, die vom 21. bis 22. Mai 2004 in Bamberg stattfand. Im Zentrum der Diskussion steht die Zukunft des Fachgebietes vor dem Hintergrund der Schwierigkeiten, mit denen speziell die historischen Fächer gegenwärtig konfrontiert sind. Der Band umfasst strategieorientierte Beiträge über Organisationsformen, Studientage, neue Medien in der Lehre, Grenzüberschreitungen bezüglich Medialität und Periodisierungen, darüber hinaus Einblicke in die Fachforschung in der historischen Sprach-, Literatur-, Kultur- und Buchwissenschaft und Stellungnahmen aus der englischen Didaktik, der gegenwartsorientierten Sprach-, Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft sowie der Kunstgeschichte. Er ist damit ein Dokument für die Aktualität und das große zukunftsträchtige, speziell auch interdisziplinäre Potenzial des Fachgebietes Englische Sprachwissenschaft und Mediävistik zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts.

Author:
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 902727987X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
After the growth of English and American dialectology since the 1930’s and the expansion of sociolinguistics since the 1960’s, the study of ‘world English’ has emerged in recent years to join these other disciplines. This bibliography is intended to reflect what has been achieved in this area and to serve as an indispensible research tool for further investigations. The bibliography is divided into three parts, each one is preceded by a preface which explains the procedures followed and each of the sections is followed by an index. It classifies the items according to specific areas, ethnic groups, or similar topics.

Language in the British Isles
Author: David Britain
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107320127
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 542
Book Description
The British Isles are home to a vast range of different spoken and signed languages and dialects. Language continues to evolve rapidly, in its diversity, in the number and the backgrounds of its speakers, and in the repercussions it has had for political and educational affairs. This book provides a comprehensive survey of the dominant languages and dialects used in the British Isles. Topics covered include the history of English; the relationship between Standard and Non-Standard Englishes; the major non-standard varieties spoken on the islands; and the history of multilingualism; and the educational and planning implications of linguistic diversity in the British Isles. Among the many dialects and languages surveyed by the volume are British Black English, Celtic languages, Chinese, Indian, European migrant languages, British Sign Language, and Anglo-Romani. Clear and accessible in its approach, it will be welcomed by students in sociolinguistics, English language, and dialectology, as well as anyone interested more generally in language within British society.

Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts
Author: Helmut Gneuss
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442648236
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 961
Book Description
Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts is the first publication to list every surviving manuscript or manuscript fragment written in Anglo-Saxon England between the seventh and the eleventh centuries or imported into the country during that time. Each of the 1,291 entries in Helmut Gneuss and Michael Lapidge's Bibliographical Handlist not only details the origins, contents, current location, script, and decoration of the manuscript, but also provides bibliographic entries that list facsimiles, editions, linguistic analyses, and general studies relevant to that manuscript. A general bibliography, designed to provide full details of author-date references cited in the individual entries, includes more than 4,000 items. Compiled by two of the field's greatest living scholars, the Gneuss-Lapidge Bibliographical Handlist stands to become the most important single-volume research tool to appear in the field since Greenfield and Robinson's Bibliography of Publications on Old English Literature. Their achievement in the present book will endure for many decades and serve as a catalyst for new research across several disciplines.

Irish English as Represented in Film
Author: Shane Walshe
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783631586822
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
This study is the first of its kind to analyse the representation of Irish English in film. Using a corpus of 50 films, ranging from John Ford's The Informer (1935) to Lenny Abrahamson's Garage (2007), the author examines the extent to which Irish English grammatical, discourse and lexical features are present in the films and provides a qualitative analysis of the accents in these works. The authenticity of the language is called into question and discussed in relation to the phenomenon of the Stage Irishman.

Cardinal Numerals
Author: Ferdinand von Mengden
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110220350
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
The book embeds a description and an analysis of the Old English numeral system into a broader, cross-linguistic discussion. It provides a theoretical framework for the study of numerals and numeral systems of natural languages, bridging the gap between recent findings in the cognitive sciences on numeracy and the known typological generalisations on cardinal numerals. The Old English numeral system shows a number of peculiarities not found in the present-day languages of Europe. Its detailed description is therefore an ideal locus for studying the features of linguistic number expressions in terms of their morpho-syntactic properties and of the structure of numeral systems. The approach is innovative in that it combines a detailed analysis of the numeral system with the analysis of the grammatical properties of cardinal numerals. For the description of Old English, the study focuses on aspects of information structure and of referent identification in quantificational constructions. This leads to a novel perspective on the language-internal variation in the agreement patterns between numerals and quantified nouns, allowing the author to test and refine some long standing tenets in the study of numerals and to offer alternative explanations. Rather than seeing numerals as a hybrid word class, the author argues that this variation in the morpho-syntactic behaviour follows identifiable patterns specific to the word class numeral. He accounts for these patterns by positing different, cross-linguistically uniform stages in the emergence of numeral systems, as well as varying degrees of discreteness of the quantified noun. Moreover, the author demonstrates that the constraints determining this variation in Old English have obvious parallels across languages.
