Language Contacts at the Crossroads of Disciplines
This volume offers a cross-disciplinary insight into language contact research, bringing together fresh empirical and theoretical studies from various fields concerning different dimensions of language contact and variation, second language acquisition and translation. In the present-day world of globalization, population mobility and information technology, the themes of multilingualism and contact-induced language change are as topical as ever, and research on language contacts and cross-linguistic influence has expanded rapidly during the last few decades. Along with the increasing specialization of related disciplines, their research perspectives, methods and terminology have become disp...
Genetic Criticism in Motion
Genetic criticism investigates creative processes by analysing manuscripts and other archival sources. It sheds light on authors’ working practices and the ways works are developed on the writer’s desk or in the artist’s studio. This book provides a cross-section of current international trends in genetic criticism, half a century after the birth of the discipline in Paris. The last two decades have witnessed an expansion of the field of study with new kinds of research objects and new forms of archival material, along with various kinds of interdisciplinary intersections and new theoretical perspectives. The essays in this volume represent various European literary and scholarly traditions discussing creative processes from Polish poetry to French children’s literature, as well as topical issues such as born-digital literature and the application of forensic methodology to manuscript studies. The book is intended for scholars and students of literary criticism and textual scholarship, together with anyone interested in the working practices of writers, illustrators, and editors.
Embodiment in Cross-Linguistic Studies
The book explores the conceptualization of the ‘heart’ as it is represented in 19 languages, ranging from broadly studied to endangered ones. Being one of the most extensively utilised body part name for figurative usages, it lends itself to rich polysemy and a wide array of metaphorical and metonymical meanings. The present book offers a rich selection of papers which observe the lexeme ‘heart’ from diverse perspectives, employing primarily the frameworks of cognitive and cultural linguistics as well as formal methodologies of lexicology and morphology. The findings are unique and novel contributions to the research of body-part semantics, embodied cognition and metaphor analysis, and in general, the investigation of the interconnectedness of language, culture, cognition and perception about the human body.
Lexical and Semantic Aspects of Proverbs
The field of paremiology is traditionally an interdisciplinary one starting with folklore, paremiology, language, literature, history, and other fields, their mutual influence being a peculiar and highly valued feature for all. This book is linguistic in nature, offering a number of aspects of contemporary languages and their proverbs studied, though mostly on lexical, semantic and pragmatic aspects, based on language corpora findings, subsequently leading to proverb minima. Apart from selected proverb data excerpted from tens of languages, there is an effort to arrive at a system of proverbs having a wider orientation based on the goal set to map proverbs in a language in a systematic and reliable way, showing proverbs and their use in large, multimilion language corpora. Next to its academic goals covering proverb theory of use and system, the book may be used by lexicocographers, monolingual and comparative, and language teachers in their textbook compilation.
Ihmissydän
Aleksis Kiven (1834--1872) mielikuvitus ja lukeneisuus ovat tuoneet eteemme mitä kiehtovimpia henkilöhahmoja ja elämänpolkuja. Hänen tuotantonsa hahmot harjastukkaisista veljeksistä Herrojen-Eevaan ja kimpaantuvasta Eskosta valkealiinaisiin neitoihin ovat osa jaettua mielikuvamaailmaamme. IHMISSYDÄN. IHMISIÄ JA KOHTALOITA A.

Walkean miehen kosto
Walkean miehen kostoon on koottu neljä vanhaa lännentarinaa, jotka suomen kielen tutkija Ossi Kokko (1969-2019) oli löytänyt vanhoista digitoiduista lehdistä ja kirjoista ja toimittanut julkaistavaksi. Toimitetut versiot ilmestyivät alun perin Suomen Länkkäriseuran julkaisemissa erillisissä vihkoissa tai Ruudinsavu-lehdessä, nyt ne julkaistaan ensimmäistä kertaa kirjan kansien välissä. Kirjan tarinat ovat Washington Irvingin Pokanoketin Filip ja Friedrich Gerstäckerin Kirous ja Walkean miehen kosto sekä Felix Lillan Viimeinen algonquini. Kirja esittelee vanhinta lännenkirjallisuuden perintöä sekä 1800-luvun suomennosten kieltä. Teoksessa on mukana Juri Nummelinin esipuhe. Samaan aikaan ilmestyy Juri Nummelinin toimittama vanhojen lännentarinoiden valikoima, Punasydän.
Ilokeimon kivikummulla
"Surun päivä, ilon päivä! Syvät ovat surut lapsenkin;" ILOKEIMON KIVIKUMMULLA järjestää ja valaisee Kiven runoja uudella tavalla ottamalla huomioon niiden usein jännittävät työstö- ja kehittelyvaiheet. Päästään todistamaan käsikirjoitusaineiston kiehtovia yksityiskohtia ja saadaan monipuolisia näkökulmia rakastetun kirjailijaneron tuotantoon.
Karkurit
When Aleksis Kivi’s (1834–1872) Finnish tragedy Karkurit (‘The Escapees’) was originally published in 1867 it was considered better than his two former plays, the Kalevalaic tragedy Kullervo (1864) and the comedy Nummisuutarit (‘Heath Cobblers’, 1864). Soon these encouraging views, however, turned completely opposite. Dismissing attitudes towards Kivi’s play were dominant until the 1960s when new theatre productions made its artistic merits worthy of consideration again. The critical edition of Karkurit gives a new and more versatile image of Aleksis Kivi as a playwright and helps to understand his tragedy in the light of the changing artistic ideals of different periods and ge...
