Asterix the Gaul Asterix is a French cartoon character, whose adventures have been translated into 107 languages or dialects (including English). The stories were written and illustrated by Rene Goscinny (1926-1977) and Albert Uderzo (1927-2020). There are 38 adventures, 11 films and a theme park near Paris. The first book published was ‘Asterix the Gaul’ in 1961 and the final book was ‘Asterix and the Chieftain’s Daughter’ in 2019. Asterix is a Gaul (a tribe similar to the British Celtic tribes) who lives in a village in Normandy around 50 BC. He is small and incredibly brave and gets his strength from a secret magic potion brewed by the tribe’s druid. He has a very clever little dog called Dogmatix (his name is Idéfix in French) who played an important part in saving Asterix and his friends from being entombed in a pyramid in ‘Asterix and Cleopatra’. Most of his adventures involve Asterix and his friends battling the Romans (and usually winning!). Asterix’s best friend is Obelix, who has a ‘powerful physique’ (don’t call him fat!) as a result of him falling into a cauldron of magic potion when he was a little boy. He is not particularly clever, loves eating wild boar (he can eat more than any other member of the tribe) and makes menhirs (standing stones). Other tribe members include Vitalstatistix (the tribal chief), Getafix (the tribe’s very wise druid who brews the magic potion), Cacofonix (the tribe’s tone-deaf poet and bard) and Justforkix (Chief Vitalstatix’s nephew who has been sent to the tribe to learn how to be a true Gaulish warrior) Some of his adventures include: Asterix in Britain – where he helped the British discover tea Asterix and Cleopatra – where he, Obelix and Getafix help build a palace and go sight-seeing, leaving their mark on the Sphinx’s nose Asterix in Belgium - where he helps the Belgians to invent make French fries Asterix at the Olympic Games – where he has to compete without the aid of the magic potion (as it is an artificial stimulant) .

Dialect and Local Media: Reproducing the Multi- Dialectal Hierarchical Space in Limburg (The Netherlands)
Dialect and local media: Reproducing the multi- dialectal hierarchical space in Limburg (the Netherlands) Leonie Cornips i, ii , Vincent de Rooij iii , Irene Stengs i ii and Lotte Thissen i Meertens Institute/The Royal Academy of Art and Sciences, Amsterdam; ii Maastricht University; iii University of Amsterdam The Netherlands 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter aims at contributing to an understanding of processes of language standardization by looking at a multidialectal public live performance, broadcast by local media in the Dutch province of Limburg. We will focus on this live perfor- mance, which involves a reading-aloud event of extracts from the fantasy book series Harry Potter . For this event, extracts were translated in written form into various Limburgian dialects. These translations obeyed the normative dialect or- thography acknowledged by the most important main actors in Limburg (see later). 2 The imposition of a normative spelling for dialects evidences processes of codifica- tion and implementation, two major stages in language standardization (cf. Deumert 2004, Haugen 2003, Milroy 2001). These ongoing processes in Limburg result in the standardization of multiple dialects that differ maximally from each other, espe- cially at the level of the lexicon. These processes also anchor the multiple dialects to place. Language standardization involves concern with form and function, and is based on as well as framed by ‘discursive projects’: Standardization is concerned with linguistic forms (corpus planning, i.e. selec- tion and codification) as well as the social and communicative functions of lan- guage (status planning, i.e. implementation and elaboration). In addition, stand- ard languages are also discursive projects, and standardization processes are typ- ically accompanied by the development of specific discourse practices.

Chapter One Introduction
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Reading books can be one of the choices for some people to spend their spare time. There are some kinds of book; they are novel, biography, poetry, drama, comics, etc. They have their own styles; however, the one that I find most interesting is comics. Comics can be described as “a form of visual art consisting of images which are commonly combined with text often in the form of speech balloons or image captions” <http: www.answers.com>. I like the way how the story of a comic is presented in frames and how the utterances are presented in the speech balloons. Moreover, I like the pictures and the language which is simpler to understand. I like to read comics especially funny comics. I like comics which have funny story, funny pictures and witty language. Usually we say that comics are funny because of the story, but actually, we can say that a comic is funny not only from the story itself, but also from the picture of the comic, or the witty language or speech that is used in the story. Maranatha Christian University 1 Wittiness is the ability to say or write clever, amusing things (Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 2005: 1755). There are a lot of ways to make witty language; one of them is by using language play. Language play is ‘an action of manipulating the language by bending and breaking its rules’ (Crystal, 1998: 1). We can find a lot of language play in comic books.

Rene Goscinny WHERES ASTERIX
Goscinny was reared and educated in Buenos Aires and later worked on children’s books in New York City. In 1954 he returned to Paris to direct a press agency and soon became a writer for the “Lucky Luke” comic strip. In (14 August 1926 – 5 November 1977) 1957 he met Uderzo, a cartoonist, and collaborated with him on the short-lived “Benjamin et Benjamine” and, a year later, on the somewhat more successful “Oumpah-Pah le Peau-Rouge” (“Oumpah-Pah the Redskin”). In 1959 Goscinny founded the French humour magazine Pilote, and at the same time, in collaboration with Uderzo, began publishing “Astérix le Gaulois,” a comic strip that concerned itself with the adventures of a diminutive Gallic tribesman at the time of Caesar’s conquest of Gaul. The title character, Astérix, and his friend Obélix belonged to the only unconquered tribe, the “Invincible Gauls.” The Romans they opposed were generally made to look stupid and clumsy. Coinciding as it did with Charles de Gaulle’s rise to power in France, the strip reflected certain political sentiments that were widespread at the time. “Astérix le Gaulois” became widely popular and brought substantial success to both Goscinny and Uderzo. Goscinny was the scriptwriter of several other French comic strips, including “Les Dingodossiers” (1965–67), with Marcel Gotlib, and also was a principal in a French publishing firm. He was made a Chevalier of Arts and Letters in 1967. The “Astérix” strip was translated into 15 languages, and after its appearance in book form (1959) it sold more than 18,000,000 copies world- wide.

Lente 2010 Natuurboekje
Limburgs Landschap natuurboekje van lente 2010 Hoi! Wie heeft daar gespuugd? In de lente hangen er kloddertjes schuim aan de stengels van planten. Net spuug. Midden in dat spuug zit een kleine verrassing. Een beestje. Het spuugbeestje! Wie had dat gedacht! Dat spuug is zijn nest. Het beschermt hem tot hij volwassen is. Tot hij kan vliegen en springen. Met een grote sprong springt hij de wijde wereld in. Ga eens op zoek naar die spuugklodders. Vanaf april/mei zijn ze te vinden. Maar niemand kijkt wat erin verstopt zit. Jij wel hè? 2 Als het spuugbeestje wordt geboren, lijkt hij al aardig op zijn pa en ma. Maar vleugels heeft hij nog niet. Uit het eitje kruipt een jonkie van een paar millimeter. Hij prikt zijn snuit in een stengel of een blad. Hij zuigt het sap van planten. Spuugbeestjes zijn zuigbeestjes. Dat spuug om hem heen maakt hij zelf. Maar spuug is het niet. Want het komt niet uit zijn mondje, maar uit zijn kontje! Het is plantensap met nog wat ander spul. Het jonge spuugbeest pompt er steeds wat lucht doorheen. Vandaar al die luchtbelletjes. Net als de belletjes als je met een rietje in een glaasje frisdrank blaast. 3 Maak een lentewandeling en zoek spuugbeestjes. Hun ‘spuug’ zit op allerlei planten, zoals gras, koekoeksbloemen en lavendelstruikjes. Het spuugbeestje is klein en teer. Hij gaat gauw kapot. Dus… voorzichtig. Pluk de stengel met het spuug. Eerst even naar het spuug kijken. Zie je al die luchtbelletjes? De kleur van het spuug is Haal wat spuug weg. Bijvoorbeeld met een grasspriet of zo.

GROUPE DE LECTURE #2 ASTERIX ET CLEOPATRE RENÉ GOSCINNY ALBERT UDERZO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1z-Lrxa8VY The writer: RENÉ GOSCINNY 14 August 1926 – 5 November 1977 1959: He founded the French humour magazine Pilote Scriptwriter of several other French comic strips, such as: Lucky Luke Le Petit Nicolas Iznogoud 1967: He was made a Chevalier of Arts and Letters The illustrator: ALBERT UDERZO Born 25 April 1927 1940: At only 14, he is accepted to La Société Parisienne d'édition where he learns the basics of his job as an illustrator. He publishes his first illustration, a parody of Le Corbeau et le Renard (La Fontaine) in the magazine Junior. 1979: He continues the adventures of Asterix and Obelix alone and creates “Les Éditions Albert René” Illustrator of several other French comic strips, such as: Oumpah-Pah Tanguy et Laverdure Benjamin, Benjamine Astérix et Obélix Sixth book in the Asterix comic book series First published in serial form in Pilote magazine (from issue #215 – 5 Dec. 1963 to issue #257 – 24 Sept. 1964) The comic book was then published in 1965 It contains many anachronisms, the most important being the Military Campaign of Julius Caesar in Egypt in 47 BC (and not 50 BC as mentioned in the book) Another “mistake” is that Cleopatra is represented as an Oriental woman when she was Greek. The album has been adapted as a cartoon in 1968 (Astérix et Cléopâtre) And as a movie in 2002 (Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cléopâtre) After an argument in which César belittles the accomplishments of the Egyptian people, especially concerning buildings and constructions, Cléopâtre bets that her people can build a new palace in Alexandrie within three months.
