In Partial Fulfillnent of the Requirenents for the Degree Master of Arts PROPER NAMES TN THE LITERARY ITORKS OF NTKOLAJ VASIT ÎE\TIð GOGOL ¡ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Grad.uate Studies and Research Unlversity of Manitoba In Partial Fulfillnent of the Requirenents for the Degree Master of Arts by Ìilalter Slipchenko March L966 }1 ABSTRACT An extensive study of the funetlon of proper names in Gogolts vrritings apparently has neve¡, been presented" A.lthough there have been d.iscussions concerning Gogol r s proper names, they have been based upon limited materia-l with a conplete disregard of many personal, historical, mythologlcal and. place names, This has resulted consequently ln undue emphasi-s on certain types o'f pfoper nanes' The purp,ose of this thesls is to investigate the proper names as to the role they perform in Gogolrs compositlon and style. The aims have been (I) to examine most of the proper nanes used. by Gogol, (2) to classify these names ln a ty¡rological scheme as to the role they ptay ín the author I s literary wrltings; (3) to compile a list or lnventory of proper names colleeted., and lastly (4) to elucidate upon many of these Broper names" The stud.y is based or¡ some 11000 proper na.mes whfch have been exeerpted from Gogolrs pros'et poetry and' drama" ^å.11 names, unless otherwlse noted r are categorÍzed accor- d.ing to thelr function" In the analysis of Gogolts names it was found that their various primary functions slere eategorized accordlngly into the following general eategories: meaningful (figurative or significant) names; tlcouleur localett na:mes; rrcOuleur hlstoriquert names and names based on the form of the literary work. iii TABL,] I SYST¡ìIVi O¡- RUSSIAI{ ALPHABTT The follornting iransliteration system ir¡ill be used in chis .Lhesis for transliterating the Cyrillic alphabet: tf Aa ê- ñH -- n El Á' Ð: L¡J - b 0o o ÐR n-D v IIn p f r- s (u) Pp r f r- h (u) Cc ù s (R) Tr t ,i il - d Yy u llJg-Fa â Èql f ë- e !: .L x UUC o- je (u) LI ti L¿.-! .âl - 9rr ùó-ó^ z U¡u q IÃt¡- y (u) i (R) Iir, q SC I i- I (U) 'taÐÞ il I a- ji (u) bln nl-:. ti- j b¡ t 1{v lL & - k UÐâ^ e JIJL- 1 iC to ju 1..Í tø - rt fr.e ìr (U) Ukrainian (R) Ru.ssian iv TABLE II IIST 0;+ LITERJq,RY ',{OBKS B.elow are listed Gogolrs lite.rary \¡ro.rks from which the names were recorded" Although this list aims at relative comptr-eteness,, there are certain fragnents of his v¡ork that have been exeluded., The abbreviations to each story r,rill be used later in the classification of the names, Each r'¡ord has b,een stressed in order to facilitate the pronunciation.

  • Large Impact Basins on Mercury: Global Distribution, Characteristics, and Modification History from MESSENGER Orbital Data Caleb I
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 117, E00L08, doi:10.1029/2012JE004154, 2012 Large impact basins on Mercury: Global distribution, characteristics, and modification history from MESSENGER orbital data Caleb I. Fassett,1 James W. Head,2 David M. H. Baker,2 Maria T. Zuber,3 David E. Smith,3,4 Gregory A. Neumann,4 Sean C. Solomon,5,6 Christian Klimczak,5 Robert G. Strom,7 Clark R. Chapman,8 Louise M. Prockter,9 Roger J. Phillips,8 Jürgen Oberst,10 and Frank Preusker10 Received 6 June 2012; revised 31 August 2012; accepted 5 September 2012; published 27 October 2012. [1] The formation of large impact basins (diameter D ≥ 300 km) was an important process in the early geological evolution of Mercury and influenced the planet’s topography, stratigraphy, and crustal structure. We catalog and characterize this basin population on Mercury from global observations by the MESSENGER spacecraft, and we use the new data to evaluate basins suggested on the basis of the Mariner 10 flybys. Forty-six certain or probable impact basins are recognized; a few additional basins that may have been degraded to the point of ambiguity are plausible on the basis of new data but are classified as uncertain. The spatial density of large basins (D ≥ 500 km) on Mercury is lower than that on the Moon. Morphological characteristics of basins on Mercury suggest that on average they are more degraded than lunar basins. These observations are consistent with more efficient modification, degradation, and obliteration of the largest basins on Mercury than on the Moon. This distinction may be a result of differences in the basin formation process (producing fewer rings), relaxation of topography after basin formation (subduing relief), or rates of volcanism (burying basin rings and interiors) during the period of heavy bombardment on Mercury from those on the Moon.

It‘s the sort of story breathlessly reported in pulp novellas and pseudohistories, and more recently, of course, movies. Glass, born in Pennsylvania in 1780, found his place in legend as a member of a fur-trading expedition led by General William Henry Ashley, setting out in 1822 with a force of about a hundred men, including other figures that would become vital in pioneering annals, like Jim Bridger, Jedediah Smith, and John Fitzgerald.

    Nissan, “Post Script: A Hundred Years Since Sholem Aleichem’s Demise” | 116 Post Script: A Hundred Years since Sholem Aleichem’s Demise Ephraim Nissan London The year 2016 was the centennial year of the death of the Yiddish greatest humorist. Figure 1. Sholem Aleichem.1 The Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem (1859–1916, by his Russian or Ukrainian name in real life, Solomon Naumovich Rabinovich or Sholom Nokhumovich Rabinovich) is easily the best-known Jewish humorist whose characters are Jewish, and the setting of whose works is mostly in a Jewish community. “The musical Fiddler on the Roof, based on his stories about Tevye the Dairyman, was the first commercially successful English-language stage production about Jewish life in Eastern Europe”. “Sholem Aleichem’s first venture into writing was an alphabetic glossary of the epithets used by his stepmother”: these Yiddish 1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sholem_Aleichem.jpg International Studies in Humour, 6(1), 2017 116 Nissan, “Post Script: A Hundred Years Since Sholem Aleichem’s Demise” | 117 epithets are colourful, and afforded by the sociolinguistics of the language. “Early critics focused on the cheerfulness of the characters, interpreted as a way of coping with adversity. Later critics saw a tragic side in his writing”.2 “When Twain heard of the writer called ‘the Jewish Mark Twain’, he replied ‘please tell him that I am the American Sholem Aleichem’”. Sholem Aleichem’s “funeral was one of the largest in New York City history, with an estimated 100,000 mourners”. There exists a university named after Sholem Aleichem, in Siberia near China’s border;3 moreover, on the planet Mercury there is a crater named Sholem Aleichem, after the Yiddish writer.4 Lis (1988) is Sholem Aleichem’s “life in pictures”.

The Ethics Of Meaning Abstract This dissertation develops an ethics of meaning. In the first chapter, I offer an account of meaning that comprehends its many varieties—natural, cultural, linguistic, literary, and ethical meaning, for example—by appeal to the structural role meaning plays in the practice of interpretation. In Chapter 2, I develop a distinctive account of the concept of ethical meaning (“meaning” as it’s used in the phrase “the meaning of life”). In Chapter 3, I develop a new account of irony on the basis of the comprehensive-interpretive account of meaning introduced in Chapter 1.

    COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects _____ Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks OREGON COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Exemplars of Reading Text Complexity, Quality, and Range & Sample Performance Tasks Related to Core Standards Selecting Text Exemplars The following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that students should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT I offer an exploration of the work of these three contemporary novelists, focusing on the phenomenon of self-explanation - both in the sense of justifying oneself, and o f seeking to define the nature o f selfhood. I identify three roles in which (and against which) these self-explanations take place; as writers o f comedy, as Jewish writers, and as American writers. Although these roles overlap, I treat them as distinct for the purposes o f structural clarity and contextualise them by locating them in related literary and cultural traditions. I am particularly concerned with the ambivalent attitudes that these writers display towards these roles; with the tensions between - and within - their theory and practice. The thesis is divided into three chapters, framed by an introduction and conclusion.

  • Mercury's Geochronology Revised by Applying Model Production Functions to Mariner 10 Data: Geological Implications
    Mercury’s geochronology revised by applying Model Production Functions to Mariner 10 data: geological implications Matteo Massironi1,2, Gabriele Cremonese3, Simone Marchi4, Elena Martellato2, Stefano Mottola5, Roland J. Wagner 5 1 Dipartimento di Geoscienze, Università di Padova, via Giotto 1, I-35137 Padova, Italy [email protected] 2 CISAS, Università di di Padova , Italy 3 INAF, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, Italy 4 Dipartimento di Astronomia, Università di Padova, Italy 5 German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin, Germany Abstract Model Production Function chronology uses dynamic models of the Main Belt Asteroids (MBAs) and Near Earth Objects (NEOs) to derive the impactor flux to a target body. This is converted into the crater size-frequency-distribution for a specific planetary surface, and calibrated using the radiometric ages of different regions of the Moon’s surface. This new approach has been applied to the crater counts on Mariner 10 images of the highlands and of several large impact basins on Mercury. MPF estimates for the plains show younger ages than those of previous chronologies. Assuming a variable uppermost layering of the Hermean crust, the age of the Caloris interior plains may be as young as 3.59 Ga, in agreement with MESSENGER results that imply that long-term volcanism overcame contractional tectonics. The MPF chronology also suggests a variable projectile flux through time, coherent with the MBAs for ancient periods and then gradually comparable also to the NEOs. 1. Introduction From the middle 1960s onwards, the cratering records from planetary surfaces has been used to obtain age determinations for geological units and processes, as well as to make inferences about the time-dependent regimes of impactor fluxes throughout the Solar System.
