Travelling Texts – Texts Travelling
This Gedenkschrift celebrates the memory of Professor Hans Sauer and his passion for travelling. The contributions in this volume explore different kinds of textual and temporal travels from various linguistic, literary, and philological perspectives.
The Dynamics of the Linguistic System
This volume outlines a model of language that can be characterized as functionalist, usage-based, dynamic, and complex-adaptive. The core idea is that linguistic structure is not stable and uniform, but continually refreshed by the interaction between three components: usage, the communicative activities of speakers; conventionalization, the social processes triggered by these activities and feeding back into them; and entrenchment, the individual cognitive processes that are also linked to these activities in a feedback loop. Hans-Jorg Schmid explains how this multiple feedback system works by extending his Entrenchment-and-Conventionalization Model, showing how the linguistic system is cre...
The Gift of Tongues
Tales of xenoglossia—the instantaneous ability to read, to write, to speak, or to understand a foreign language—have long captivated audiences. Perhaps most popular in Christian religious literature, these stories celebrate the erasing of all linguistic differences and the creation of wider spiritual communities. The accounts of miraculous language acquisition that appeared in the Bible inspired similar accounts in the Middle Ages. Though medieval xenoglossic miracles have their origins in those biblical stories, the medieval narratives have more complex implications. In The Gift of Tongues, Christine Cooper-Rompato examines a wide range of sources to show that claims of miraculous language are much more important to medieval religious culture than previously recognized and are crucial to understanding late medieval English writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer and Margery Kempe.
Essays Presented to Hans Sauer on the Occasion of His 65th Birthday: Fact and fiction : from the Middle Ages to modern times
The essays presented here pay tribute to Hans Sauer as a specialist on English medieval literature and culture. This book shows what we can safely infer from medieval texts and where we need to be cautious or should reassess what has hitherto been suggested. It shows what the Middle Ages inherited from earlier days and transformed during their own time, what they gave to later eras, and what clearly belongs into the realm of fantasy films. The essays mainly concentrate on Old and Middle English prose and poetry, also including theoretical approaches to understanding medieval culture.
More Than Words
Including both synchronic and diachronic approaches, the essays pay tribute to one of Hans Sauer's main specialist fields, namely English lexicography and lexicology. The contents of the articles range from insights into current lexicographical projects to glimpses into the work of eminent (and also lesser known) philologists. They range from lexical studies based on manuscripts and printed editions to those based on electronic data and include morpho-syntactic, semantic, taxonomic and etymological theories and approaches.
Renate Bertlmann
Bertlmann's work is frequently associated with the term feminist avant-garde and focuses on the kind of art that questions gender-specific role models and stereotypes.Such patterns are contrasted with the ironic, self-reflective and spiritual aspect of her oeuvre. 'Amo ergo sum' (I love, therefore I am) is Bertlmann's central message, developed in 1978, which, since the 1980s, has been subdivided into the topics pornography, irony, and utopia.The exhibition at Landesgalerie Niederösterreich is this great artist's first solo show at a museum. The project was developed together with Bertlmann in late summer 2016, long before she became the subject of such general attention when she received the Grand Austrian State Prize and was nominated as the first female artist with a solo show in the Austrian Pavilion at the Biennale.The exhibition at the Landesgalerie, which the artist curated herself, and the publication accompanying it present new work by Bertlmann, but the focus is on her legendary works of the 1970s and 1980s.Accompanies the exhibition 'RENATE BERTLMANN: HIER RUHT MEINE ZÄRTLICHKEIT', 26 May - 29 Sep 2019, Landesgalerie Niederösterreich, Austria,English and German text.
Therapy Talk
Therapy Talk aims to help those who apply 'the talking cure' become better at their jobs by enabling them to understand how their verbal responses may channel the conversation partner into a particular direction, promoting conversation analysis as a useful tool to study and enhance the therapeutic alliance between client and practitioner.
Exploring the Scripturesque
These essays span about a third of a century and include both previously published and some unpublished studies by Robert A. Kraft which focus on interfaces between Jewish materials and the worlds in which they were transmitted and/or perceived, especially Christian contexts. The initial section on general context and methodology is followed by several detailed studies by way of example. The final section touches on some related issues involving Philonic and other texts. The primary concern is with "scripturesque" materials and traditions, whether they later became canonical or not, that seem to have been respected as scriptural by some individuals or communities in the period prior to (or apart from) the development of an exclusivistic canonical consciousness in some Jewish and Christian circles.
