What do the bizzare etymologies of Jean-Pierre Brisset, made-up languages for literary fiction, The Dialectic of Enlightenment, Latin grammarians, Horace’s Epodes, and the Papyrus of Ani have in common? Absolutely nothing. Yet, taken together they provide an unusually coherent picture of a hitherto unacknowledged non-tradition of linguistic investigation. At these moments, particularly within the traditions of European writing which can loosely be termed “avant-garde,” philology goes rogue, hearkening to unearthly imperatives and barely comprehended intimations, and producing results well beyond those generated by more respectable – and supposedly more grounded – philological endeavors. ‘Pataphilology: An Irreader seeks to document and analyze such moments of philological speculation, invention, and détournement. In using the term ‘pataphilology, Gurd and van Gerven Oei are not proposing a facile analogy with ‘pataphysics, where ‘pataphilology would be philology’s wacky twin, always out for a lark, never doing anything real. This would presuppose an operation (even if parenthetical) on philology analogous to a shift from physics to ’pataphysics, something which Alfred Jarry, to whom this volume owes the latter neologism, appears to contradict in his initial definition: “Pataphysics […] is the science of that which is superinduced upon metaphysics, whether within or beyond the latter’s limitations, extending as far beyond metaphysics as the latter extends beyond physics.” Any way you cut it, ‘pataphysics is a physics that demands — or, better, that relies on — an utmost philological sensitivity to writing, unheard etymologies, unstable translations, incomplete formalizations, and haphazard decryptions. This volume seeks, then, to document how philological practices — no matter how non-standard, disreputable, or academically useless — have played a role in the production of avant-garde literature and knowledge, as well as forgotten, alternative, or fictitious scholarly projects. Ranging from the papyrus of Ani to the future languages of speculative fiction, from the fictional tablets of Armand Schwerner to the Attic Nights of Aulus Gellius, from Horace to Lacan, ’Pataphilology: An Irreader is a cabinet of philological curiosity — and a map of the ever-changing constellations that emerge when human language loses its chains.

The East Baltic languages are well known for their conservative phonology as compared to other Indo-European languages, which has led to a stereotype that the Balts developed in isolation without much contact with other speech communities. This book challenges that view, taking a deep dive into the East Baltic lexicon and peeling away the layers of prehistoric borrowings in the process. As well as significant contact events with known languages, the lexicon also reveals evidence of contact with unattested languages from which previous populations must have shifted.

Die zu diesem Band zusammengestellten 27 Einzeluntersuchungen verstehen sich als Bausteine einer allerdings noch in weiter Ferne liegenden Synthese der slavischen Besiedlung Deutschlands. Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen konzentrieren sich alle Artikel darauf, die Zuwanderung balkanslavischer Ethnika wahrscheinlich zu machen. Im Vordergrund stehen daher nicht onomastische Deskriptionen, sondern neue Etymologien, von denen einige gewiß überraschen werden.

Critical Toponymy: Place names in political, historical and commercial landscapes contains a selection of double-blind peer-reviewed papers from the 4th International Symposium on Place Names that took place 18-20 September 2017 in Windhoek, Namibia. These papers present current thinking on how the critical turn in social sciences is manifested in toponymic research, not only locally but also internationally. As such it includes research on place names from South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Austria, Slovenia, Central America and even the former Czechoslovakia. The contributions show that the etymology of place names are never purely linguistic – social, political, commercial and other factors influence the giving, use and adaptations of these linguistic and cultural artefacts. Furthermore, given their high symbolic content, place names also serve as political and commercial currency. Place names are therefore important symbolic markers in preserving or changing cultural identities, and in marking or facilitating socio-political changes and relations. Critical Toponymy showcases the many ways in which the representational potential of place names can be deployed in different contexts. Scholars as well as practitioners in toponymy and sociolinguistics will find this an illuminating read.

This handbook of Old Germanic toponyms is a comprehen-sive collection of Germanic, possibly Germanic and non-Germanic geographical names of Magna Germania and the adjacent provinces. The selection of headwords is based on Hermann Reichert´s Lexikon der altgermanischen Namen (LaN). In the articles, the current state of research concer-ning the localization of the ancient places (, rivers, forests and mountains) and concerning the etymology and word for¬mation of the toponyms is documented and critically dis-cussed.

Die vorliegende Monographie behandelt systematisch die altgermanischen Orts-, Fluss-, Wald- und Bergnamen bis einschließlich 600 n.Chr. sowie auch die ungermanischen Toponyme Germaniens; in den einzelnen Artikeln wird neben Lokalisierung und Kontext der mit den Toponymen bezeichneten Örtlichkeiten hauptsächlich die Etymologie der Toponyme selbst in Augenschein genommen und die verschiedenen Deutungsversuche der Namen kritisch beleuchtet. Dieser Band setzt somit die Reihe der Interpretationsbände zu Reichert´s Lexikon der altgermanischen Namen (2 Bde.) fort (zuletzt erschienen: Sitzmann / Grünzweig 2008, Die altgermanischen Ethnonyme - ein Handbuch zu ihrer Etymologie).Der vorliegende Band ist ein umfassendes etymologisches Handbuch der altgermanischen Toponyme sowie der unger-manischen Toponyme Germaniens, wofür als Grundlage das Lexikon der altgermanischen Namen (LaN) von Her-mann Reichert diente. Unter den alphabetisch angeordne-ten Lemmata werden die Belege mit Angabe der wichtigsten Lesarten sowie eine Kurzausführung zu Lokalisierung und Kontext gegeben. In den darauf folgenden etymologischen Kommentaren wurde versucht, einen forschungsgeschichtli-chen Überblick über die Literatur zu den jeweiligen Namen durch ein kritisches Referat der bisher geäußerten etymolo-gischen Deutungen mit Wertung nach Wahrscheinlichkeit zu geben.

<P>Die vorliegende Untersuchung ist unmittelbar aus der etymologischen Praxis erwachsen und der traditionellen historisch-vergleichenden etymologischen Methode verpflichtet. Darüberhinaus steht sie im wissenschaftlichen Kontext der Richtungen, die die slavische Mythologie als Untersuchungsgegenstand der Sprachwissenschaft betrachten, vor allem der Tartuer und Moskauer Schule und der russischen und polnischen Ethnolinguistik. Sie bearbeitet teilweise schwer zugängliches dialektales Material aus einer relativ wenig untersuchten Region der Slavia und schlägt eine Reihe neuer etymologischer Lösungen vor. Die Untersuchung einer kompakten lexikalisch-semantischen Gruppe erlaubt eine Stratifikation der Namen nach ihrer relativen Chronologie und andererseits die Beleuchtung innerer Zusammenhänge und semantischer Prozesse auf diachroner und synchroner Ebene. </P>

In the meeting between Northern and Southern Europe – usually considered separate worlds – language and literature are important mediators. In this volume Dutch is a starting, arrival and meeting point for essays on linguistic contrasts and literary confrontations between North and South.

In het contact tussen Noord- en Zuid-Europa – vaak beschouwd als gescheiden werelden – zijn taal en literatuur belangrijke bemiddelaars. Het Nederlands is in deze bundel vertrek-, aankomst- en ontmoetingspunt voor bijdragen over talige contrasten en literaire confrontaties tussen Noord en Zuid. Onderzoekers gevestigd in het Middellandse Zeegebied analyseren onder meer culturele ontmoetingen met de Griekse oudheid (Hugo Claus en Pasolini) en Japan (Cees Nooteboom en Bashō). Ze bestuderen de identiteitsproblematiek van vrouwelijke migranten in België en Nederland in romans en verhalen van Rachida Lamrabet, Chika Unigwe, Yasmine Allas en Ellen Ombre. De cultuurbemiddelaarsfunctie van de taxichauffeurs van Abdelkader Benali en de karrenman van Hafid Bouazza komt eveneens aan bod. Ten slotte onderzoeken de auteurs hoe taalcontrasten doorwerken in vertalingen naar het Italiaans, Spaans, Catalaans en Turks.

This volume draws together a diverse array of scholars from across the humanities to formulate and address the question of “ethics and literary practice” for a new decade. In taking up a conjunction whose terms remain productively open to question, fifteen essays survey a range of approaches and topics including genre and disciplinary rhetoric, emergence theory and literary signification, the ethics of alterity, of attention, and of aesthetics, the decolonial and the paracritical, neorealism and contingency, analogy and affect, scripture and national literature. From Seamus Heaney to Hannah Arendt, Teresa Brennan to Stanley Cavell, Ronit Matalon to Édouard Glissant, Uwe Timm to Katherena Vermette, Notes for Echo Lake to the Gospel of St. Matthew, these contributions demonstrate how broadly and fruitfully ramifying its organizing inquiry can be. Bringing such multifarious perspectives to the topic feels only more urgent as language, meaning, and expression enter the crucible of a “post-truth” era.

This is the second of two volumes that provide a textual edition of the linguistic writings of the Swedish polymath Georg Stiernhielm (1598–1672). On the basis of his unpublished manuscripts and early prints, this volume presents a textual edition of his writings on etymology (Chapters 7–9), on historical and comparative linguistics (Chapters 10–13) and on a programme for the renewal of the Swedish language (Chapters 16–17) as preserved in unpublished manuscripts and some prints. Moreover, a record of the public dispute between Stiernhielm and Terserus is edited (Chapter 14), as is also Stiernhielm’s autograph catalogue of his holdings of linguistic literature and source texts, viz. dictionaries, textual samples and treatises for research on language origins (Chapter 15). The textual edition is preceded by an introduction to the political and cultural contexts of Stiernhielm’s linguistic theories on these topics, as well as to the early development of historical-comparative language studies, to Stiernhielm’s achievements of in this field of study, and finally to his unpublished etymological, universal and bilingual lexicography. The textual edition is followed by a reception study on Stiernhielm as a historical linguist and language renewer.

Germania Semitica explores prehistoric language contact in general, and attempts to identify the languages involved in shaping Germanic in particular. The book deals with a topic outside the scope of other disciplines concerned with prehistory, such as archaeology and genetics, drawing its conclusions from the linguistic evidence alone, relying on language typology and areal probability. The data for reconstruction comes from Germanic syntax, phonology, etymology, religious loan names, and the writing system, more precisely from word order, syntactic constructions, word formation, irregularities in phonological form, lexical peculiarities, and the structure and rules of the Germanic runic alphabet. It is demonstrated that common descent is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for reconstruction. Instead, lexical and structural parallels between Germanic and Semitic languages are explored and interpreted in the framework of modern language contact theory.

Since the translation of the Septuagint in the 3rd century BCE, scholars have attempted to identify the stones that populate the biblical text. This study rejects the long-standing reliance on ancient translations for identifying biblical stones. Despite the evident contradictions and historical inconsistencies, scholars traditionally presumed these translations to be reliable. By departing from this approach, this volume presents a novel synthesis of comparative linguistics and archeogemological data. Through rigorous analysis of valid cognates, it establishes correlations between Hebrew stone names and their counterparts in ancient languages, corresponding to known mineral species. This methodological shift enables a more accurate identification of stones mentioned in biblical texts, thus recovering their true historical context. The research not only advances our understanding of biblical mineralogy but also provides a fresh perspective on the material culture of the Ancient Levant, offering valuable insights for scholars and laymen, linguists and archaeologists alike.

Das Hauptteil der Arbeit ist die Ermittlung der Ortsnamen slavischer Herkunft. Hierunter sind die slavischen Benennungen sowie die altungarischen Benennungen mittels slavischer Entlehnungen zu verstehen. Es sollen folgende Fragen beantwortet werden: a) In welchen Gebieten treten slavische Benennungen konzentriert auf? b) Welchen Slavinen lassen sich die ermittelten ON slavischer Herkunft zuordnen? Ohne die Kenntnis der Besonderheiten ungarischer Ortsnamengebung bleiben die mit slavischen Entlehnungen gebildeten altungarischen ON von Bács-Bodrog unverständlich. Daher werden auch die Charakteristika der ungarischen Ortsnamengebung beschrieben.

Incorporates etymology, history, art, drawing, and reflective writing to support medical students in the integration of the science and humanity of anatomy. A comprehensive and holistic understanding of human anatomy is foundational to the care of patients. The Reflector is an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to the learning of human anatomy; it incorporates etymology, history, art, drawing, and reflective writing to integrate the learning of anatomical structures with the nonanatomical curriculum of the anatomy lab, thus establishing the foundation for a biopsychosocial approach to medicine. To develop visual skills, this work features drawings that illustrate the original inspirations for anatomical terminology while also providing the space to artistically reimagine these structures. Together, these activities enhance the comprehension and retention of anatomical information for application in medical sciences. The Reflector employs thought-provoking questions that emphasize humanity in anatomy, in order to prompt consideration of the anatomical structures beyond basic science. Reflecting on the experiences of anatomical dissections, specifically in relation to development of habits of mind necessary for patient- and family-centered care, continually connects students to the purpose of their studies - to become a knowledgeable, compassionate, self-aware, reflective, and skilled member of a healing profession. Edited by a medical student with a Master's of Science degree in Medical Humanities; an anatomical science faculty member dedicated to the holistically educated medical provider; an expert in visual learning and self-reflection; and a bioethicist, The Reflector is a valuable resource for all who want to understand the human in human anatomy.

Dieses Wörterbuch stellt den lexikalisch-semantischen Bestand des Demokratiediskurses der späten 1960er Jahre dar. Dieser Demokratiediskurs ist insofern als ein gesellschaftliches Umbruchphänomen zu beschreiben, als in den späten 1960er Jahren die intellektuelle und die studentische Linke Partizipationsansprüche einer konsequenten Demokratie für kurze Zeit in hoher kommunikativer Dichte und Intensität erhob. Die Folgen dieser demokratischen Neukonzeptionen prägen seither die Gesellschaften hinsichtlich ihrer Demokratiemodelle, in Bezug etwa auf Teilhabe, auf die Unabhängigkeit von parlamentarischer Politikpraxis sowie hinsichtlich des Anspruchs auf gesellschaftliche Mitgestaltung. Die Schlüsselwörter, in deren Bedeutung sich dieser Diskurs verdichtet, werden nach den spezifischen Prinzipien eines Diskurswörterbuchs, d.h. vor allem im Sinn eines diskursiven semantischen Netzes, beschrieben.
