Hy is aantreklik, sjarmant en intelligent. Hy dra jou op die hande en julle hang aan mekaar se lippe. Maar dan begin dinge verander. Hy vereis voltyds aandag, goedkeuring en bewondering. Vir jou gevoelens en behoeftes voel hy vere. Trouens, hy beheer jou ten volle. Hy het selfs jou drome by die venster uitgegooi. Niks is ooit sy skuld nie en hy sê ook nie hy is jammer nie. Waag jy dit om hom teen te gaan, of te kritiseer, gooi hy ’n woedebui wat ’n tweejarige sal laat skaamkry.

The Cordell Collection of Dictionaries is the world's largest, with over 5100 pre-1901 titles and several thousand more from the twentieth century. A short-title catalog and a compilation of English-language holdings for the pre-1901 materials have been published previously, but here, for the first time, is an extensive conflated listing which interfiles foreign and English-language materials, and gives access to holdings through a date index, a language index, and a subject guide. Organized alphabetically by author (or by title for main-entry titles), the catalog's arrangement by-date under the main entry offers a sense of publishing history for individual lexicographers. The catalog not only contains exact information on the holdings at Indiana State University, but also provides guidance for the use of sources that may be available in other collections. The Warren N. and Suzanne B. Cordell Collection of Dictionaries, housed at Cunningham Memorial Library, Indiana State University, is the world's largest collection of dictionaries, with over 5100 pre-1901 titles and several thousand more from the twentieth century. A short title catalog and a compflation of English-language holdings for the pre-1901 materials have been published previously, but here, for the first time, is an extensive conflated listing which interfiles foreign and English-language materials, and gives access to holdings through a date index, a language index, and a subject guide. Organized alphabetically by author, editor, or compiler (or by title in the case of main-entry titles), the catalog's arrangement by-date under the main entry offers a sense of publishing history for individual lexicographers. The catalog not only contains exact information on the holdings at Indiana State University, but also provides guidance for the use of sources that may be available in less extensive collections. Aside from obvious utility in the areas of languages, linguistics, and lexicography, the catalog provides valuable information for research in other fields, particularly Western European political history and social anthropology. Designed for researchers and collectors alike, the work has been compressed into a convenient format. As descriptive information on individual titles has been sacrificed for completeness, researchers on English-language dictionaries may also wish to consult English-Language Dictionaries, 1604-1900, cataloged and compiled by Robert Keating O'Neill (Greenwood Press, 1988).

1.300 Jahre Rechtssprache in Mitteleuropa. Die Geschichte der Wortbedeutungen wird mit einer Fülle von Quellenfunden aus den verschiedenen Jahrhunderten belegt. Begriffe wie Neidbau oder Obsentropf, Birngericht oder Mundraub bekamen im Gebrauch der Rechtssprache ihre besondere Bedeutung.

Was hat Liebe mit Recht zu tun? Was ist ein Sackmann? Wozu diente ein Reibnagel? Diese und tausende andere Fragen beantwortet das Deutsche Rechtswörterbuch. Das Deutsche Rechtswörterbuch (DRW) ist ein nützliches Instrument für (fast) jeden historisch arbeitenden Wissenschaftler. Erfasst es doch weit über das enge Korsett seines Namens hinaus die gesamte ältere deutsche Sprache, soweit sie in weiterem Sinne rechtliche Relevanz hat. Das DRW enthält somit neben juristischen Fachbegriffen alle Wörter der Alltagssprache, sofern sie in rechtlichen Kontexten auftreten. So wird beispielsweise das Adjektiv nackt behandelt aufgrund seiner rechtsrelevanten Bedeutung als Indiz für einen Ehebruch. Ob dies nun der Müller ist, der Reichserbkammertürhüter oder der Sautter (Schneider): Bekannte und unbekannte Berufe, Ämter und Dienstbezeichnungen werden angeführt, sobald sich ein rechtlicher Kontext belegen lässt. Die Wörter werden in ihren unterschiedlichsten Bedeutungen erklärt, Beispiele für ihre Verwendung unter Berücksichtigung regionaler Besonderheiten aufgelistet. Das bearbeitete Quellencorpus reicht hierbei vom Beginn der schriftlichen Überlieferung im 6. Jahrhundert bis etwa 1800. Der Begriff Deutsch wird zudem weit gefasst; nach der Theorie des 19. Jahrhunderts, in dem das DRW konzipiert wurde, diente er als Oberbegriff für die gesamte westgermanische Sprachfamilie, so dass selbst die friesische, niederländische, altsächsische und angelsächsische noch der deutschen sprache in engerm sinn zufallen , wie Jacob Grimm 1854 definiert hat. Längst haben daher neben den Rechtshistorikern die Sprachwissenschaftler das DRW als wichtige Informationsquelle für sich entdeckt. Aber auch für quellennah arbeitende Historiker, Kunsthistoriker, Religionshistoriker und Archivare ist das DRW ein vielfach gebrauchtes Hilfsmittel. Obgleich primär der Rechtsgeschichte verhaftet, war das Deutsche Rechtswörterbuch von Anfang an interdisziplinär aufgestellt. Der Gründungs

A fascinating comparative account of sacred languages and their role in and beyond religion written for a broad, interdisciplinary audience Sacred languages have been used for foundational texts, liturgy, and ritual for millennia, and many have remained virtually unchanged through the centuries. While the vital relationship between language and religion has been long acknowledged, new research and thinking across an array of disciplines including religious studies, sociolinguistics, sociology, linguistics, and even neurolinguistics has resulted in a renewed interest in the area. This fascinating and informative book draws on Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Judaic, and Buddhist traditions to provide a concise and accessible introduction to the phenomenon of sacred languages. The book takes a strongly comparative, wide-ranging approach to exploring ways in which ancient religious languages, such as Latin, Pali, Church Slavonic, and Hebrew continue to shape the beliefs and practices of religious communities around the world. Informed by both comparative religion and sociolinguistics, it traces the histories of sacred languages, the myths and doctrines that explain their origin and value, the various ways they are used, the sectarian debates that shadow them, and the technological innovations that propel them forward in the twenty-first century. * A comprehensive but succinct account of the role and importance of language within religion * Takes an interdisciplinary approach which will appeal to students and scholars across an array of disciplines, including religious studies, sociology of religion, sociolinguistics, and linguistics * Provides a strongly comparative exploration, drawing on Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Judaic, and Buddhist traditions * Uses numerous examples and ties historic debates with contemporary situations * Satisfies the rapidly growing demand for books on the subject among both academics and general readers Sacred Languages of the World is a must-read for students of religion and language, scripture, religious literacy, education and language, the sociology of religion, sociolinguistics.

In the first half of the eighteenth century, rival dynasties of Naqshbandi Sufi shaykhs vied for influence in the Tarim Basin, part of present-day Xinjiang. In the 1750s, the collapse of the Junghar Mongol state gave one branch of this family an opportunity to assert their independence in the oasis cities of Kashgar and Yarkand. Others sided with the armies of the Qing dynasty, which were massing on the frontiers to invade. The ensuing conflict saw the region incorporated into the expanding Qing imperium. Three decades afterward, Muḥammad Ṣadiq Kashghari was commissioned to write an account of these Naqshbandi Sufis and their downfall. Blending the genres of collective biography and historical epic, mixing prose and verse, Kashghari’s text vividly depicts religious and political conflicts on the eve of the Qing conquest. It became the most popular and influential Chaghatay-language work to grapple with this divisive period. This volume presents the complete, long recension of In Remembrance of the Saints, translated for the first time into any Western language and extensively annotated with reference to both Islamic and Qing sources. The introduction situates the work in the Inner Asian tradition of Sufi biography and discusses the political factors shaping historical memory in Qianlong-era Xinjiang. Providing a rare local perspective on China’s expansion into Muslim borderlands, this translation sheds light on Xinjiang’s political and religious traditions and makes a foundational work of Inner Asian literature available to students and scholars.

An engaging and authoritative introduction to an increasingly important and popular literary genre Prose Poetry is the first book of its kind—an engaging and authoritative introduction to the history, development, and features of English-language prose poetry, an increasingly important and popular literary form that is still too little understood and appreciated. Poets and scholars Paul Hetherington and Cassandra Atherton introduce prose poetry’s key characteristics, chart its evolution from the nineteenth century to the present, and discuss many historical and contemporary prose poems that both demonstrate their great diversity around the Anglophone world and show why they represent some of today’s most inventive writing. A prose poem looks like prose but reads like poetry: it lacks the line breaks of other poetic forms but employs poetic techniques, such as internal rhyme, repetition, and compression. Prose Poetry explains how this form opens new spaces for writers to create riveting works that reshape the resources of prose while redefining the poetic. Discussing prose poetry’ s precursors, including William Wordsworth and Walt Whitman, and prose poets such as Charles Simic, Russell Edson, Lydia Davis, and Claudia Rankine, the book pays equal attention to male and female prose poets, documenting women’s essential but frequently unacknowledged contributions to the genre. Revealing how prose poetry tests boundaries and challenges conventions to open up new imaginative vistas, this is an essential book for all readers, students, teachers, and writers of prose poetry.

The problems of international communication and linguistic rights are recurring debates in the present-day age of globalization. But the debate truly began over a hundred years ago, when the increasingly interconnected world of the nineteenth century fostered a desire for the development of a global lingua franca. Many individuals and social movements competed to create an artificial language unencumbered by the political rivalries that accompanied English, German, and French. Organizations including the American Philosophical Society, the International Association of Academies, the International Peace Bureau, the Comintern, and the League of Nations intervened in the debate about the possibility of an artificial language, but of the numerous tongues created before World War II, only Esperanto survives today. Esperanto and Its Rivals sheds light on the factors that led almost all artificial languages to fail and helped English to prevail as the global tongue of the twenty-first century. Exploring the social and political contexts of the three most prominent artificial languages—Volapük, Esperanto, and Ido—Roberto Garvía examines the roles played by social movement leaders and inventors, the strategies different organizations used to lobby for each language, and other early decisions that shaped how those languages spread and evolved. Through the rise and fall of these artificial languages, Esperanto and Its Rivals reveals the intellectual dilemmas and political anxieties that troubled the globalizing world at the turn of the twentieth century.
