  • Animacy and Alienability: a Reconsideration of English
    Running head: ANIMACY AND ALIENABILITY 1 Animacy and Alienability A Reconsideration of English Possession Jaimee Jones A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2016 ANIMACY AND ALIENABILITY 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Jaeshil Kim, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Paul Müller, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Jeffrey Ritchey, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date ANIMACY AND ALIENABILITY 3 Abstract Current scholarship on English possessive constructions, the s-genitive and the of- construction, largely ignores the possessive relationships inherent in certain English compound nouns. Scholars agree that, in general, an animate possessor predicts the s- genitive while an inanimate possessor predicts the of-construction. However, the current literature rarely discusses noun compounds, such as the table leg, which also express possessive relationships. However, pragmatically and syntactically, a compound cannot be considered as a true possessive construction. Thus, this paper will examine why some compounds still display possessive semantics epiphenomenally. The noun compounds that imply possession seem to exhibit relationships prototypical of inalienable possession such as body part, part whole, and spatial relationships. Additionally, the juxtaposition of the possessor and possessum in the compound construction is reminiscent of inalienable possession in other languages. Therefore, this paper proposes that inalienability, a phenomenon not thought to be relevant in English, actually imbues noun compounds whose components exhibit an inalienable relationship with possessive semantics.

  • Politeness in Pronouns Third-Person Reference in Byzantine Documentary Papyri
    Politeness in pronouns Third-person reference in Byzantine documentary papyri Klaas Bentein Ghent University/University of Michigan 1. Introduction: the T-V distinction In many languages, a person can be addressed in the second person singular or plural:1 the former indicates familiarity and/or lack of respect , while the latter suggests distance and/or respect towards the addressee.2 Consider, for example, the following two French sentences: (1) Tu ne peux pas faire ça! (2) Est-ce que vous voulez manger quelque chose? The first sentence could be uttered in an informal context, e.g. by a mother to her son, while the second could be uttered in a more formal context, e.g. by a student to his supervisor. In the literature, this distinction is known as the T-V distinction (Brown & Gilman 1960),3 referring to the Latin pronouns tu and vos .4 It is considered a ‘politeness strategy’ (Brown & Levinson 1987, 198-206). In Ancient Greek texts, such a distinction does not appear to be common (Zilliacus 1953, 5). 5 Consider, for example, the following petition: (3) ἐπεὶ οὖν], κύριε, καὶ οἱ διʼ [ἐναντίας ἐνταῦ]θα κατῆλθαν ἀξιῶ καὶ δέομαι ὅπως [κελεύσῃς ἱ]κανὰ [αὐ]τοὺς π[αρασχεῖν ἐν]ταῦθα ὀντων ⟦καὶ⟧ ἢ παραγγελῆναι αὐτοὺ[ς διὰ τῆς σῆς τ]άξεως πρὸς [τὸ] προσεδρευιν αὐτοὺς τῷ ἀχράντῳ σ[ο]υ δικασ[τηρίῳ ἵνα τῆ]ς δίκης λε[γομένης] μηδὲν ἐμπόδιον γένηται, καὶ τούτ[ου τυχόντα δι]ὰ παντός [σ]οι [χάριτας][ομολο]γῖν (P.Cair.Isid.66, ll. 19-24; 299 AD) “Since, then, my lord, my opponents in the case have also come down here, I request and beseech you to command that they furnish security while they are here or be instructed through your office to remain in attendance on your immaculate court, so that there may 1 My work was funded by the Belgian American Educational Foundation and the Flemish Fund for Scientific Research .

  • The Regularization of Old English Weak Verbs
    Revista de Lingüística y Lenguas Aplicadas Vol. 10 año 2015, 78-89 EISSN 1886-6298 http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/rlyla.2015.3583 THE REGULARIZATION OF OLD ENGLISH WEAK VERBS Marta Tío Sáenz University of La Rioja Abstract: This article deals with the regularization of non-standard spellings of the verbal forms extracted from a corpus. It addresses the question of what the limits of regularization are when lemmatizing Old English weak verbs. The purpose of such regularization, also known as normalization, is to carry out lexicological analysis or lexicographical work. The analysis concentrates on weak verbs from the second class and draws on the lexical database of Old English Nerthus, which has incorporated the texts of the Dictionary of Old English Corpus. As regards the question of the limits of normalization, the solutions adopted are, in the first place, that when it is necessary to regularize, normalization is restricted to correspondences based on dialectal and diachronic variation and, secondly, that normalization has to be unidirectional. Keywords: Old English, regularization, normalization, lemmatization, weak verbs, lexical database Nerthus. 1. AIMS OF RESEARCH The aim of this research is to propose criteria that limit the process of normalization necessary to regularize the lemmata of Old English weak verbs from the second class. In general, lemmatization based on the textual forms provided by a corpus is a necessary step in lexicological analysis or lexicographical work. In the specific area of Old English studies, there are several reasons why it is important to compile a list of verbal lemmata. To begin with, the standard dictionaries of Old English, including An Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, A Concise Anglo-Saxon Dictionary and The student’s Dictionary of Anglo-Saxon are complete although they are not based on an extensive corpus of the language but on the partial list of sources given in the prefaces or introductions to these dictionaries.

  • Demonstratives and Definite Articles in Plains Cree
    Demonstratives and Definite Articles in Plains Cree DANIELLE E. CYR York University 1. Introduction It is the usage, in the grammatical description of Algonquian languages, to classify demonstratives within a single formal class, whether their func­ tional role may be that of a demonstrative pronoun, a demonstrative noun- determiner, or a definite article. This is the case with two Eastern Cree lan­ guages spoken in Quebec, Montagnais and James Bay Cree.1 For example for Montagnais Ford and Bacon say (1978:30): "Pour indiquer la possession d'un defini, il suffit de juxtaposer le demonstratif au nom possessif". And for James Bay Cree Vaillancourt (1978:31) says: "La ou le frangais fait us­ age d'un article defini, le cris fait usage d'un demonstratif". The situation seems to be the same for Plains Cree as we find in Wolfart and Carroll (1981:84): "For Cree it has been conventional to group words according to their form rather than their function. We call awa a pronoun even where it is used much like an English article". In other studies (Cyr 1993, and Cyr and Axelsson 1988), I have shown that, in Montagnais, the typology of textual functions and textual frequencies of the demonstratives corresponds more closely to that of definite articles in other article languages than to that of demonstrative noun-determiners. A study of textual data comprising 12,000 words of Montagnais narratives shows in fact that demonstratives are :The research for this paper was partly supported by Research Grant 410- 90-1056 from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and by the Faculty of Arts of York University.

  • Nine Parts of Speech in Teaching English to Electrical Engineering Students
    NINE PARTS OF SPEECH IN TEACHING ENGLISH TO ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING STUDENTS Naely Muchtar Electrical Engineering Department Politeknik Negeri Ujung Pandang [email protected] Abstract Prior to the ASEAN Economic Community, one of the specific soft skills to be mastered for Indonesian engineers to be stand out from the other engineers of other ASEAN countries is mastering English language skills. Engineering students’ backgrounds are mostly from Vocational High School with a variety of English skills. It is quite complicated for the lecturer in teaching English for Engineering as English for Specific Purpose (ESP) subject with students’ various level of English skills. English is taught based on the Electrical Engineering content which made the lecturer’s need to analyze the students’ skill in basic words of English. This paper aims at presenting and offering the importance of teaching English through nine parts of speech which consists of noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection, as the fundamental words of English. By mastering nine parts of speech, engineering students will easily conduct sentences into paragraph, reading English text, listening while watching tutorial video, and speaking for presenting their idea. Nine parts of speech are very practical for teaching ESP. Keywords: Parts of speech, English for engineering Introduction ASEAN Economic Community era provides the real challenges and opportunities for lecturer in teaching ESP which is aimed at evolving students’ professional skills in communication by using English which is depending on the area of professional field. It means that teaching and learning process must be interconnected to students’particular specialization. Hence, English for specific purpose includes specialized programmes which are designed to develop the communicative use of English in a specialized field of science, work or technology.

  • What Does the Copula Do? Kunio Nishiyama Cornell University, [email protected]
    University of Pennsylvania Working Papers in Linguistics Volume 4 | Issue 2 Article 15 1-1-1997 What Does the Copula Do? Kunio Nishiyama Cornell University, [email protected] This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. http://repository.upenn.edu/pwpl/vol4/iss2/15 For more information, please contact [email protected]. What Does the Copula Do? This working paper is available in University of Pennsylvania Working Papers in Linguistics: http://repository.upenn.edu/pwpl/vol4/ iss2/15 What Does the Copula Do?* Kunio Nishiyama 1. Introduction It is widely assumed in the literature on the copula that there are at least two kinds of copula (cf. Higgins 1973): (1) a. John is a boy. (predicative) b. Dr. Jekyll is Mr. Hyde. (equative) It is controversial whether these different usages should be treated differently or can be given a unified account, and this is not my concern here. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the syntactic structure of predicative copular sentences like (1a) from a crosslinguistic perspective. Since Bach (1967), it has often been claimed that the copula is a tense-supporter.1 For example, Rapoport (1987: 152ff) notes the following contrast: (2) a. I consider [Xeli a nut]. b. Xeli *(is) a nut. In a small clause structure like (2a), no copula is necessary, even though there seems to be a predication relation between Xeli and a nut. In the matrix sentence, however, the copula is necessary (2b). Since (2a) shows that the copula is not necessary for predication, Rapoport (1987: 157) claims that “[b]e is inserted to support the feature of INFL, in the cases above [2b] the features of tense ([- past]) and agreement.” According to this hypothesis, (3) is analyzed as (4): (3) Sal was strong.

  • The Definite Article and Demonstrative Determiners in Transitional
    THE DEFINITE ARTICLE AND DEMONSTRATIVE DETERMINERS IN TRANSITIONAL ICELANDIC: A CASE STUDY IN ODDUR GOTTSKÁLKSSON’S NEW TESTAMENT, MATTHEW 1-17 by JACKSON CRAWFORD (Under the direction of Jared S. Klein) ABSTRACT In this paper I address the use of demonstrative determiners in the first known translation of the New Testament into Icelandic - that of Oddur Gottskálksson, published in 1540. This thesis is chiefly concerned with what identifiable semantic purpose these determiners serve in the language of Oddur, and what this can tell us about this transitional period between Classical Old Icelandic and the Icelandic of today. However, I argue that this translation is heavily influenced by the language of the Vulgate Bible, and so caution must be exercised in attributing all its forms to the spoken Icelandic of the period.

  • Chapter 22A – Qal Participle Introduction
    Chapter 22a – Qal Participle Introduction The Hebrew participle is a verbal adjective and, as such, shares features in common with both verbs and adjectives. As a verb, the Participle has stem (Qal) and voice (active or passive) and expresses some type of verbal action such as “running” or “studying.” As an adjective, the Participle has gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) and is used like an adjective: attributively (“the sleeping student”), predicatively (“the student is sleeping”) and substantively (“studying requires discipline”). When translating the Hebrew Participle, begin by using the “-ing” form of the verb as in “studying” and “learning.” Basics of Biblical Hebrew Gary D. Pratico and Miles V.

THE NOMINAL ROLES OF GERUNDS AND INFINITIVES Hussaina Ibrahim Department of English, Faculty of Humanities, Sule Lamido University, P.M.B. 048, Kafin Hausa- Jigawa State, Nigeria [email protected] Abstract The theory of the nominal roles of gerundives and infinitives in the production of language has been a subject of researched for nearly a century. Recently, this theory has made serious comeback into the literature with significant a number of published studies. It has been demonstrated that grammatical structures, such as the present tense, future tense, reduce phonologically and morphologically to the point where the lexical items, once viewed as separate entities, have been reanalyzed and have become grammatically cohabited units in which the individual parts are difficult to distinguish and furthermore, this process occurs across languages including English. This paper presents on the nominalization of grammatical processes, in which expressions that are semantically associated with properties are transformed into noun-like expressions.
