The Cultural Pragmatics of Danger
This book addresses the problems and challenges of studying the discourse of "danger" cross-linguistically and cross-culturally, and proposes the cultural pragmatics of danger as a new field of inquiry. Detailed case studies of several linguacultures include Arabic, Chinese, Danish, English, German, Japanese and Spanish. Focusing on global and local contexts surrounding “living in dangerous times”, this book showcases how the new model of cultural pragmatics can be used to illuminate cultural meanings in discourse. Unlike the universalist approaches to pragmatics, cultural pragmatics focuses on understanding the linguacultural logics of discourse, and in the case of “danger”, the mul...
Classical Reception
In a time of acute crisis when our societies face a complex series of challenges (race, gender, inclusivity, changing pedagogical needs and a global pandemic) we urgently need to re-access the nature of our engagement with the Classical World. This edited collection argues that we need to discover new ways to draw on our discipline and the material it studies to engage in meaningful ways with these new academic and societal challenges. The chapters included in the collection interrogate the very processes of reception and continue the work of destabilising the concept of a pure source text or point of origin. Our aim is to break through the boundaries that still divide our ancient texts and ...
Recent Trends and Findings in Latin Linguistics
These volumes contain a selection of contributions first presented at the 21st International Colloquium on Latin Linguistics, held in Santiago de Compostela (2022). They cover essential topics in Latin linguistics from a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches. The first volume includes papers on Latin Syntax and Semantics, Latin Syntax and Pragmatics, Greek-Latin language, and Digital Linguistics. The contributions report on the latest research into very relevant issues in specific areas such as definiteness, casual syntax, sentence structure, word order, etc.; in addition, the most recent methodological advances using a variety of databases, a key tool in contemporary research...
The Oxford Latin Syntax
In this two-volume work, the first full-scale treatment of its kind in English, Harm Pinkster applies contemporary linguistic theories and the findings of traditional grammar to the study of Latin syntax. He takes a non-technical and principally descriptive approach, based on literary and non-literary texts dating from c.250 BC to c.450 AD. The volumes contain a wealth of examples to illustrate the grammatical phenomena under discussion, many of them from the works of Plautus and Cicero, alongside extensive references to other sources of examples such as the Oxford Latin Dictionary and the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae. While the first volume explored the simple clause, this second volume focuses on the complex sentence and discourse. The first three chapters examine different types of subordinate clause; the following four then explore relative clauses, coordination, comparison, and secondary predicates. Later chapters investigate information structure and extraclausal expressions, word order, and discourse and related features. The Oxford Latin Syntax will be a valuable and up-to-date resource both for professional Latinists and all linguists with an interest in Classics.
Lustrum Band 63 – 2021
Der in englischer Sprache verfasste Forschungsbericht zu Ovids Metamorphosen wurde von einem Forscher:innenteam der Universität Huelva unter Leitung von Antonio Ramírez de Verger und Luis Rivero García erstellt und arbeitet die schier unüberschaubare Literatur zu diesem gegenwärtig wohl meistgelesenen und meisterforschten Werk der römischen Dichtung kritisch auf. Im Zentrum des zweiten Teils stehen Arbeiten zu Sprache und Stil der Metamorphosen, außerdem Arbeiten zu Quellen und Vorbildern sowie zur Rezeptionsgeschichte.

Clásicos en escena ayer y hoy
Esta reflexão sobre dois conceitos, baseada em abordagens literárias e filosóficas, produziu um corpus de textos, capaz de retomar, com uma focagem multidisciplinar, a famosa antítese que animou amplas discussões desde a Antiguidade, com origem na Atenas clássica, uma época de luzes que havia de marcar todo o pensamento ocidental ao longo de milénios. Por isso, ainda que assumindo como ponto de partida os argumentos em que assentou, no passado, a discussão dos dois conceitos – nómos versus phýsis –, o espaço de reflexão se tenha aberto ao estudo da sua transmissão e recepção, reconhecendo a essa polémica uma indispensável diacronia.
Vertauschte Sinne
Die Abhandlung dokumentiert erstmals in systematischer Weise synästetische Metaphorik als Element der lateinischen Dichtersprache. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei dem Lehrgedicht des Lukrez, denn durch die herausgehobene Bedeutung der Sinneswahrnehmung in der epikureischen Erkenntnislehre haben die Synästhesien in De rerum natura eine besondere argumentative Funktion. Mit den theoretischen Vorüberlegungen leistet die Arbeit auch einen allgemeinen Beitrag zur Interpretation poetischer Metaphern.

Plautus' Erudite Comedy
Alexandrianism was among the trends that defined the formation of Roman literature across genres since the early decades of Roman literary history. This volume introduces a collection of original essays that contribute to a developing appreciation of the comedy of Plautus, the leading representative of Roman comedy, as a multi-faceted text that engages in a creative dialogue with various contemporary cultural and literary developments. The studies here, both individually and as parts of a longer, interactive discussion, offer a comprehensive examination of the first complete expression of the intellectual reception of Greek and Hellenistic literature and culture in Rome, and, at the same tim...
