Beowulf and Beyond is a collection of papers mainly on Medieval
English (i.e. Old and Middle English) language, literature and
culture, often using comparative and interdisciplinary approaches.
It features major authors and texts such as Beowulf, Chaucer, the
Wyclif Bible, Margery Kempe, and Malory, but also the poem
Judgement Day II, the Epinal-Erfurt glossary (ca. 680), and the
Assize of bread (1256), a legal document. The more linguistically
oriented studies deal with the language of Old English and Old
Norse runic inscriptions, with OE word-formation (verbs with
prefixed adverbs such as oferfaran; words for people), the loss of
final plosive consonants in late Middle English rhyme-words, the
use of hyphens in ME, and a comparison between Medieval English and
German. Some contributions are specifically concerned with teaching
Medieval texts to today's students (Beowulf, Malory). The volume is
also a document of the activities of IAUPE, the International
Association of University Professors of English. It contains a
selection of the papers that were originally presented at the IAUPE
Medieval Symposia at Munich/Germany and Vancouver/Canada.
This volume is a collection of papers read at the International
Medieval Congress at Leeds in 2017, in two sessions organized by
the Institute of English Studies at the University of London and
four sessions organized by the Society of Historical English
Language and Linguistics. Contributions consist of poetry, prose,
interlinear glosses, syntax, semantics, lexicology, and
medievalism. The contributors employ a wealth of different
approaches. The general theme of the IMC 2017 was 'otherness', and
some papers fit this theme very well. Even when two researchers
deal with a similar topic and arrive at different conclusions, the
editors do not try to harmonize them but present them as they are
for further discussion.
Zur Sicherung der Wettbewerbsfahigkeit eines Unternehmens ist es
erforderlich, daB die installierten Kapazitaten in der Pro- duktion
entsprechend der jeweiligen Marktsituation wirtschaft- lich
ausgelastet werden. Die Marktsituation ist gepragt durch eine
zunehmende Typen- und Variantenvielfalt /1/ und durch ei- ne
standig sich andernde Nachfragemenge /2/ bei einem insge- samt
stagnierenden Markt. Insbesondere der Montagebereich als letzte
Stufe im Produk- tionsprozeB muB veranderten Bedingungen schnell
anpaBbar sein. Eine mit dem Nachfrageverhalten synchronisierbare
Montage ver- meidet Lagerkosten fur Produkte in einer hohen
Wertschopfungs- stufe. Es ist daher anzustreben, Montagesysteme zu
installie- ren, die hinsichtlich der kapazitiven Auslastung
flexibel be- trieben werden konnen, so daB die technisch
installierte Kapa- zitat auch organisatorisch genutzt werden kann
/3/. Bei der Konzeption von Montagesystemen stellt sich das Pro-
blem, die zu montierenden Produkte insgesamt einem System zu-
zuordnen oder sie auf mehrere Teilsysteme aufzuteilen. Es besteht
das problem, daB einerseits bei der Montage unter- schiedliche
Produkte auf einem System die einzelnen Montageab- schnitte bzw.
Stationen nicht leichmaBig ausgelastet werden konnen und daB
dadurch Kapazitatsverluste entstehen. Anderer- seits fuhrt die
Aufteilung eines Montagesysterns in Teilsysteme und deren
spezifische Auslegung auf bestimrnte Produkte bei
Nachfrageverschiebungen zur Unter- oder Uberlastung einzelner
Teilsysterne. Die Problernstellung hat also eine rnengen- und ei-
ne ablaufbezogene Kornponente, die sich jeweils aus den Nach-
frageschwankungen bzw. aus dem Aufbau und Montageablauf der b
trachteten Produkte ergibt.
Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer
Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags
von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv
Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche
Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext
betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor
1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen
Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.
This book presents new research results in English historical
linguistics. Section I deals with sounds and spellings, e.g. the
role of writing in language change, Pre-Old English sound changes
and their reflection in runic inscriptions - plus the first
complete list of OE runic inscriptions - and with velar fricatives
in Middle English. Section II contains studies on words and phrases
(e.g. the OE terms for the chain-mail coat), shell nouns, and
secondary agent constructions. Section III highlights the
developments of because, relative clauses, impersonal and passive
constructions. Section IV analyzes the role of dialects in
literature (e.g. 16th and 18th centuries). Section V sheds light on
the use of early literature by later authors (e.g. J.R.R. Tolkien)
and on Chinese translations of Beowulf.
Binomials, such as for and against, dead or alive, to have and to
hold, can be broadly defined as two words belonging to the same
grammatical category and linked by a semantic relationship. They
are an important phraseological phenomenon present throughout the
history of the English language. This volume offers a range of
studies on binomials, their types and functions from Old English
through to the present day. Searching for motivations and
characteristic features of binomials in a particular genre or
writer, the chapters engage with many linguistic levels of
analysis, such as phonology or semantics, and explore the important
role of translation. Drawing on philological and corpus-linguistic
approaches, the authors employ qualitative and quantitative
methods, setting the discussion firmly in the extra-linguistic
context. Binomials and their extended forms - multinomials - emerge
from these discussions as an important phraseological tool, with
rich applications and complex motivations.
English religious and cultural life reached its first culmination
in the 7th and 8th centuries. One result of this was that Germany
was largely christianized by Anglo-Saxon missionaries such as
Boniface in the 8th century, which put a lasting stamp on the
religious and cultural structure of Germany. Christianization also
influenced the literary life and the transmission of manuscripts.
This aspect is highlighted in an exhibition in the Bavarian State
Library in Munich (1-24 August 2005) which presents manuscripts
from Anglo-Saxon England as well as continental manuscripts written
or influenced by the Anglo-Saxons. Texts composed by English
authors such as Alcuin, Bede, Boniface, Candidus (Wizo) and
Hugeburc are also on display. The illustrated catalogue describes
the manuscripts and puts them into their historical and cultural
context.
