Language Contact in a Postcolonial Setting
This timely book brings together research on the features and evolution of Cameroon English and Cameroon Pidgin English, approached from a variety of innovative multilingual frameworks that focus on the emergence of mother tongue speakers. The authors illustrate how language and population contact, history (colonialism), multilingualism, translation, and indigenization have contributed to shaping the norms of postcolonial Englishes and Pidgins. Employing naturalistic data, the volume provides a new fascinating perspective that better situates and supplements existing research in the fields of African Englishes and Creolistics. It is particularly of key interest to sociolinguists, contact linguists, Africanists, Anglicists, creolists and historical linguists.
The Čakavian Dialect of Orbanici Near Zminj in Istria
Cakavian dialects, the westernmost dialects of the South Slavic language area, have long attracted the attention of investigators, largely owing to the complexity of their prosodic systems. These prosodic systems are interesting not only from a typological point of view, but also contain material of great importance for the study of Slavic historical accentology. The description of a Cakavian dialect in Istria (Croatia) presented in this volume contributes data for South Slavic historical dialectology, and for historical accentology. The book includes an introduction on Cakavian and other South Slavic dialects, particularly those spoken in Istria, and chapters, based on fieldwork by the author, on the phonology, morphology and some syntactic phenomena of the dialect of Orbanici. In the chapters on morphology, special attention is paid to accentuation types. The book also contains dialect texts (70 pp.) and a lexicon, in which all attested forms are listed.
Novi Slovenski biografski leksikon
V drugem zvezku (osebnosti s priimki na črke B–Bla) Novega Slovenskega biografskega leksikona v 257 geslih nadaljujemo s predstavitvijo najvidnejših slovenskih in s Slovenijo povezanih osebnosti iz vseh obdobij naše zgodovine. Glavna odlika leksikona je izčrpen in sorazmerno obsežen opis življenja in dela osebe. Poleg podrobnih stvarnih podatkov o rojstvu, šolanju in zaposlitvah, značilnih za leksikone, je pogosto predstavljeno tudi kulturnozgodovinsko ozadje posameznikovega dela in delovanja. Ker so avtorji gesel praviloma tudi strokovnjaki s področij, na katerih so delovale ali še delujejo predstavljene osebnosti, je vsebinska predstavitev še posebej temeljita in posodobljena z novimi spoznanji. Tiskano izdajo dopolnjuje spletni portal Slovenska biografija (www.slovenska-biografija.si ; urednica Petra Vide Ogrin, Biblioteka SAZU), v katerem je trenutno okoli 6000 gesel.
Kleopatra
"Premda joj je bilo jedva sedamnaest godina, za Kleopatru se nije moglo reci da je dete. U petnaestoj se udala za brata, koga joj je naturio zakon njene porodice nakon očeve smrti. Ali taj neveran čovek ju je odbacio i ona je morala u progonstvo u kojem je puno toga naučila. Stoga je raspolagala iskustvom kakvim se njene vrsnjakinje obično ne mogu pohvaliti. Kakve je utiske stekla cerka Ptolemeja Auleta u svom detinjstvu na dvoru koji nije skrivao svoje opačine? Njen otac je bio čudan kralj, koji je usred velikih nemira i provala stranaca samo spokojno i tvrdokorno svirao frulu. Bilo kako bilo, proizasla iz rase istančane kulture, sva prozeta samom sobom, knjizevnoscu i umetnostima, mlada Kleopatra je neobično rano upoznala zivot. U uzrastu kad ostale devojke provode svoje dane u gineceju i neguju čednost sanjajuci o kojekakvim sitnicama, ona je vec bila osetila slast zavođenja i vladanja, i oslobođena svih predrasuda nije se libila da stvarima pogleda pravo u lice. Ona je znala vrednost ljudi..."
