Swedish Dimensional Adjectives. (Svenska dimensionsadjektiv.) Acta Universitatis Stockholmiensis. Stockholm Studies in Scandinavian Philology. New Series. 36. Almqvist & Wiksell International. 377 pp. The purpose of this study is to give a thorough and detailed account and analysis of the semantics of twelve Swedish dimensional adjectives: hög ‘high/tall’, låg ‘low’, bred ‘broad/wide’, smal ‘narrow/thin’, vid ‘broad’, trång ‘narrow’, tjock ‘thick’, tunn ‘thin’, djup ‘deep’, grund ‘narrow’, lång ‘long’ and kort ‘short’. Focus has been placed on their spatial, non-metaphorical sense. The study was written within the framework of cognitive linguistics, where lexical definitions may be given in terms of prototypical and peripheral uses. Four sources of data have been considered: a corpus, consisting of contemporary fiction, an elicitation test, designed for the purpose, dictionary articles on the pertinent adjectives, and the author’s own linguistic intuition as a native speaker. The methodology has involved categorisation of combinations of adjective and noun, based upon three major themes: orientation, function, and shape. In order to determine prototypical uses, precedence has been given to the outcome of the elicitation test over the corpus search. For both sources, frequency has played an important part. The ranking of senses as stated in the dictionary articles has also been considered.

  • Sneed-Rojas Hands That Hold
    Hands that Hold By Emilio Rojas and Pamela Sneed Commissioned by the Centre for Human Rights and the Arts Bard College, 2021 Let me sip your sap Through a sumac straw I am a vessel, Overflowing. Let me drink your blood of my blood, Your roots imbibe water from the ground Who owns this land? Who was here before us? Whose hands worked the fields, picked up the fruits? My arms, your branches, My torso, your trunk My lungs, your leaves Alveoli, A tree lives inside me, Upside down, I inhale oxygen, Exhale CO2 You inhale CO2 Exhale oxygen Beings in symbiosis Invisible rhythms, we’ve forgotten how to breathe into each other’s utterances, language became a thing of the mouth, And the vocal cords, And the body forgot its speech, when did we think ourselves different from the land from each other? then our mother? How much blood, sap, serum, suero, sweat has fed this soil? Whose hands, whose sweat, whose blood has dripped into this dirt, we try to call home? Even if we have been displaced to many times to count or carry, We are settlers in stolen territories How can anyone be illegal in looted land? What is the weight of the blood running through my veins, valves, and vacancies? Each drop a portal a place to be, The sweet locus of your origin Blood like sap traveling Through my body. I inhale oxygen, Exhale CO2 You inhale CO2 Exhale oxygen Am I drinking from the roots, or from the branches? Which way does your scarlet gown flow, the color of cardinals and martyrs, sweet rain and iron Our bodies swelling, made of water and matter.

  • Voices in the Band
    Voices in the Band What is the course of the life Of mortal men on the earth?— Most men eddy about Here and there—eat and drink, Chatter and love and hate, Gather and squander, are raised Aloft, are hurl’d in the dust, Striving blindly, achieving Nothing; and, then they die— Perish; and no one asks Who or what they have been, More than he asks what waves In the moonlit solitudes mild Of the midmost Ocean, have swell’d, Foam’d for a moment, and gone. Matthew Arnold, “Rugby Chapel,” st. 6 (1867) Introduction am an AIDS doctor. I originally did my residency training in internal med- I icine, and in 1992 I started working for Dr. Jon Jacobs at the Center for Spe- cial Studies, the AIDS care center in New York City. At that time the idea of an HIV specialist was in its infancy. While we knew what caused AIDS, how it spread, and how to avoid getting it, we didn’t know how to treat it or how to prevent our patients’ seemingly inevitable progression toward death. The stigma that surrounded AIDS patients from the very beginning of the epi- demic in the early 1980s continued to be harsh and isolating: mention AIDS and people imagined promiscuous homosexuals and heroin addicts, all of them skinny and covered with purple spots. They remembered those early photos of diaper-clad, emaciated men with scraggly beards looking fear- fully into the face of the priest or nun leaning over their hospital bed. People looked askance at me: What was it like to work in that kind of environment with those kinds of people? My patients are “those kinds of people.” They are an array and a combina- tion of brave, depraved, strong, entitled, admirable, self-centered, amazing, strange, funny, daring, gifted, exasperating, wonderful, and sad.

  • Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry
    ROLL OF THUNDER HEAR MY CRY MILDRED D. TAYLOR NEWBERY MEDAL WINNER Author's Note My father was a master storyteller. He could tell a fine old story that made me hold my sides with rolling laughter and sent happy tears down my cheeks, or a story of stark reality that made me shiver and be grateful for my own warm, secure surroundings. He could tell stories of beauty and grace, stories of gentle dreams, and paint them as vividly as any picture with splashes of character and dialogue. His memory detailed every event of ten or forty years or more before, just as if it had happened yesterday. By the fireside in our northern home or in the South where I was born, I learned a history not then written in books but one passed from generation to generation on the steps of moonlit porches and beside dying fires in one-room houses, a history of great-grandparents and of slavery and of the days following slavery: of those who lived still not free, yet who would not let their spirits be enslaved. From my father the storyteller I learned to respect the past, to respect my own heritage and myself. From my father the man I learned even more, for he was endowed with a special grace that made him tower above other men. He was warm and steadfast, a man whose principles would not bend, and he had within him a rare strength that sustained not only my sister and me and all the family but all those who sought his advice and leaned upon his wisdom.
