This volume presents nine contributions to the study of changes in
the verbal system of French and Spanish as well as of Indian,
Semitic and Slavic languages. Following new trends in the study of
language development, language change is described as processes of
grammaticalisation, reanalysis and actualisation. The onset of
language change is described as being pragmatically conditioned, at
the service of felicitous communication between speaker and
listener. This process is further seen as closely interacting with
socio-cultural factors as well as drift and language typology.
This volume consists of articles on imagery in the poetry of
various literary canons. Focussing on figurative speech, the
authors analyse poetry of the Near East, Greece, the Arabic world,
early modern Spain, classical China and classical Japan. The
articles present new research based on individual approaches for
each particular canon within a wide span from socio-cultural
environment to semantic and cognitive properties of specific
images. They deal with the poetics of the other, the role of the
poet, poetic persuasion in politics, traditional typologies of
tropes, intertextuality, and the principle of analogy. The authors
combine literary theory with specialised knowledge of the local
context and literary tradition and provide innovative and dynamic
close readings.
