Folklore and the Fantastic in Nineteenth-century British Fiction
Author: Jason Marc Harris
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 9780754657668
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Arguing that the tensions between folk metaphysics and Enlightenment values produce the literary fantastic, Jason Marc Harris demonstrates that a negotiation with folklore was central to the canon of British literature. He uncovers the ideological agendas articulated using folkloric elements in works by James Barrie, William Carleton, James Hogg, Sheridan Le Fanu, George MacDonald and Robert Louis Stevenson, among others, and reveals the rhetorical strategies for applying superstition in both folkloric and literary contexts of the supernatural.

The Languages of the Soviet Union
Author: Bernard Comrie
Publisher: CUP Archive
ISBN:
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
A general account of the languages of the Soviet Union, one of the most diverse multinational and multilingual states in the world as well as one of the most important. There are some 130 languages spoken in the USSR, belonging to five main families and ranging from Russian, which is the first language of about 130,000,000 people, to Aluet, spoken only by 96 (in the 1970 census). Dr Comrie has two general aims. First, he presents the most important structural features of these languages, their genetic relationships and classification and their distinctive typological features. Secondly, he examines the social and political background to the use of functioning of the various languages in a multilingual state. The volume will be of importance and interest to linguists and to those with a broader professional interest in the Soviet Union.

Causatives and Causation
Author: Jae Jung Song
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317888448
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Causatives and Causation is the first comprehensive study of causative constructions found in the world's languages. This important new research, based on a data base of more than 600 languages, not only investigates fully the richness and variety of causative types, but also presents an alternative perspective to the traditional typological approach. The new typology enables a better understanding of how the human mind cognizes causation and how this is reflected in language. Causatives and Causation is also an important attempt to integrate language typology with diachrony by constructing a diachronic model of causative affixes on the basis of this new typology. Drawing on the theoretical insight of Role and Reference Grammar, this book provides a case study of the causative constructions in Korean, providing additional support for both the proposed new typology and the diachronic model. It also examines the pragmatic foundations of causatives, an important but previously unexplored area of study.
