Genitives in early English / Cynthia L. Allen

Public ISBD Titre : Genitives in early English : typology and evidence / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Cynthia L. Allen Editeur : Oxford [United Kingdom] : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2008 Importance : xiv, 354 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-921668-0 Note générale : Bibliogr. p. [325]-344. Index Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:425 English grammar Mots-clés : English language  Possessives  Case  Syntax  Grammar  Historical  Early modern  1500-1700  Middle English  1100-1500  typology Index. décimale : 425 Résumé : This book examines the evidence for the development of adnominal genitives (the knight's sword, the nun's priest's tale, etc.) in English. During the Middle English period the genitive inflection -es developed into the more clitic-like 's, but how, when, why, and over how long a time are unclear, and have been subject to considerable research and discussion. Cynthia L. Allen draws together her own and others' findings in areas such as case marking, the nature of syntactic and morphological change, and the role of processing and pragmatics in the construction of grammars and grammatical change. Using evidence derived from a systematic examination of a wide range of texts, Dr Allen reviews the evidence for the nature of the possessive inflection in earlier stages of English and the relationship of the -es possessive to the 'his genitive. In doing so she shows that Middle English texts are more reliable witnesses to the grammar of Middle English than has sometimes been assumed. The texts may have been conservative, but their language, the author argues, is reasonable reflection of the spoken language, and where the written evidence runs counter to typological generalization about syntactic change it may be the latter, not the former, which is in need of qualification. While the book focuses on Middle English it also contains discussions of linguistic change before and since, and draws on comparative evidence from other languages, particularly Germanic languages such as Swedish and Dutch. This ground-breaking book will be of great interest to scholars and students of Middle English in particular and the history of English in general.

Science, reading, and Renaissance literature / Elizabeth Spiller

Public ISBD Titre : Science, reading, and Renaissance literature : the art of making knowledge, 1580-1670 / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Elizabeth Spiller Editeur : Cambridge [United Kingdom] : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2004 Collection : Cambridge studies in Renaissance literature and culture Importance : xi, 214 p.

The book documents how what have become our two cultures of belief define themselves through a shared aesthetics that understands knowledge as an act of making. Within this framework, literary texts gain substance and intelligibility by being considered as instances of early modern knowledge production. At the same time, early modern science maintains strong affiliations with poetry because it understands art as a basis for producing knowledge. In identifying these interconnections between literature and science, this book contributes to scholarship in literary history, history of reading and the book, science studies and the history of academic disciplines.

Shakespeare's language / Frank Kermode

Public ISBD Titre : Shakespeare's language Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Frank Kermode Editeur : London [England] : Penguin Books Année de publication : 2001 Importance : xi, 324 p. Présentation : couv. ill. en coul Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-028592-5 Note générale : Originally published: London: Allen Lane, 2000. Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : English language  Early modern  1500-1700  Shakespeare, William (1564-1616 Index. décimale : 822.33 Résumé : The true biography of Shakespeare - and the only one we really need to care about - is in the plays. Sir Frank Kermode, Britain's most distinguished literary critic, has been thinking about them all his life. This book is a distillation of that lifetime's thinking. The great English tragedies were all written in the first decade of the seventeenth century. They are often in language that is difficult to us, and must have been hard even for contemporaries. How and why did Shakespeare's language develop as it did? Kermode argues that the resources of English underwent major change around 1600. The originality of Kermodes's writing, and the intelligence of his discussion, make this book a landmark. Note de contenu : Notes bibliogr.
