  • 110 Years Since Mercedes' Dad Bought His First
    110Years Since Mercedes' Dad Bought His First Car In 1897, successful German-born businessman Emil Jellinek bought his first car from genius inventor Gottlieb Daimler. He became an enthusias- tic fan of the automobile, took part in the earliest motor races, and quickly became the largest distributor of Daimler cars. A few months after Herr Daimler's death in 1900, Jellinek persuaded the management of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft to have its chief designer, legendary and visionary engineer Wilhelm Maybach, build a fast, lightweight Emil Jellinek didn't only love Daimler cars; he also and safe car. Jellinek also made a second sugges- doted on his daughter, Mercédès. tion: the new car should bear the name of his daughter, Mercédès, who was then ten years old. And what a new car it was. More advanced than any other of the time, there's no disputing that it set the pattern for all that was to come for many decades. Essentially, it defined the car as we know it today. Of course, during the previous 15 years since Karl Benz had patented his three-wheeler, all sorts of contraptions, both European and American, had been produced that proved capable of moving under their own power, more or less, but none but the 1901 Mercedes deserved billing as "The This example of the first Mercedes was owned by U.S. World’s First Modern Automobile."

  • Mercedesów, Które Były Praktycznie Niezrównane W Każdej Z Rozgrywanych Dyscyplin
    Obaj wynalazcy i konstruktorzy szukali dla swoich wyrobów niepowtarzalnych znaków towarowych. Wynaleziony przez Gottlieba Daimlera nowoczesny silnik z początku nazywał się po prostu Daimler, a pojazd Karla Benza – po prostu Benz. Dopiero Emil Jellinek, fan motoryzacji z żyłką hazardu, pasjonat automobilizmu i wymagający klient DMG, żądający wciąż szybszych i mocniejszych samochodów, znalazł dla swoich pojazdów tę piękną nazwę. Wyścig samochodowy The Nice Week w marcu 1901 roku w Nicei zakończył się sensacyjnym zwycięstwem dwóch zgłoszonych przez Jellinka Mercedesów, które były praktycznie niezrównane w każdej z rozgrywanych dyscyplin. 23 czerwca 1902 roku nazwa Mercedes została oficjalnie zgłoszona jako znak towarowy. W czerwcu 1903 roku Emil Jellinek otrzymał zezwolenie na zmianę nazwiska z Jellinek na Jellinek-Mercedes.

Other German contemporaries, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach working as partners, also worked on similar types of inventions, without knowledge of the work of the other, but Benz received a patent for his work first, and, subsequently patented all the processes that made the internal combustion engine feasible for use in an automobile.

  • On Ironic Puns in Portuguese Authentic Oral Data: How Do Multiple Meaning Make Irony Work? In: A
    Publicado como: Batoré, Hanna J. (2017). On ironic puns in Portuguese authentic oral data: How do multiple meaning make irony work? In: A. Athanasiadou & H. Colston (eds.) (2017). Irony in Language Use and Communication. John Benjamins. Chapter 5, 109-126. Paper edition ISBN 9789027209856. Electronic edition ISBN 9789027264824. DOI: 10.1075/ftl.1 https://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/ftl.1/main Pre-print version On ironic puns in Portuguese authentic oral data: How does multiple meaning make irony work? Hanna J. Batoréo Departamento de Humanidades, Universidade Aberta; CLUNL; Lisboa, Portugal Abstract In the present paper we are going to focus on two Portuguese case studies (one in European Portuguese – EP and one in Brazilian Portuguese – BP) of the ironic oral discourse that result in verbal puns. In our analysis we postulate that studying multiple meanings (polysemy and homonymy) in puns can explain how irony functions on cognitive, linguistic and cultural levels given that (i) irony is a fundamental way of thinking about human experience (Gibbs & Colston, 2007, Gibbs, 2012); (ii) it is perspectivised and culturally grounded (Tobin & Israel, 2012, Dancygier & Sweetser, 2012, 2015); and (iii) linguistically explicit in verbal irony (Bryant, 2012, cf. Batoréo, 2016). The study is qualitative in character: the aim of the analysis is to exemplify cognitive and linguistic mechanisms culturally grounded that make irony work. In two case studies of authentic Portuguese discourse with ironic puns chosen out of larger corpora (cf. References) to be discussed in the present paper we shall argue that (i) polysemy and homonymy are cognitive and linguistic phenomena that trigger ironic puns; (ii) metonymy organised in metonymical chains or networks can be a complex cognitive mechanism that underlies polysemy; (iii) verbal puns are perspectivised and strongly culturally and historically grounded.
