The Bewties of the Fut-Ball: Reactions and References to This Boysterous Sport in English Writings, 1175 -1815 The bewties of the fut-ball: Reactions and references to this boysterous sport in English writings, 1175 -1815 Patricia SHAW FAIRMAN University of Oviedo ABSTRACT It is thc object of this study te give sorne account of references and reactions to Furopes oldcst team game, football, te be found in English writings, 1175-1815, laus references te this by then reformed and regulated game effering less interest. A briefsurvey of observations concerning the oldest form of British football, camp- bali, wilI be offered as also sorne carly testimonies concerning the game frornother Furopean sources. The English seurces will be examined, and in many cases quoted. in order te emphasize ihose aspects of football which evidently areused most interest, thesc being essentially: its popularity with the peasant and urban working- class pepulation, as opposed te the more distinguished pursuits of gentlemen,and the exaltation of prowess at this sport: the extreme violence of football as played in earlier centuries; and thc possibilities it offered for figurative and metaphorical explo¡ tation. Over the last decades, we have, unfortunately, become only toe used te hearing, reading and seeing innumerable reports and debates in the media concerning the violence engendered by the playing and the watching of what is, as professor Emilio Lorenzo, te whom this study is respectfully and affectienately dedicated, observes, “nuestro primer deporte”’, tbat is te say, football. As, however, we shall try te demenstrate in this brief survey, the association of football with violence in Great Britain is centuries’ oid, being reflected in English texts dating frorn 1175 onwards, and ferming, indeed, the principal, altheugh net exclusive subject matter, of Ihe majority of those accounts concerning this sport still extant.

STEPHEN AUSTIN AND SONS, LTD PRINTERS, HERTFORD. — PREFACE This work is a continuation and, so far as some districts are concerned, a completion of Vol. XII of the Society's Monographs, entitled The Languages of the Nortltem Himalayas. There will be found in these pages studies in about fifteen languages or dialects, making along with those in the other volume a total of forty-one. The linguistic distribution is as follows : Tibeto-Burman : two languages, Purik and Lower Kanauri and the Chitkhuli dialect. Lahnda : two dialects, Kagani and the Bahramgala dialect. Western Pahari : nine dialects in three groups, viz., five Koci dialects from Bashahr, spoken in Rohru, Rampur, Baghi, Siirkhuli Pargana, and Dodra Kuar ; two from Jubba], north and south ; two from Suket, Eastern Suketi and Suket Siraji. PUnjabl : two dialects spoken in Bilaspur and Nalagarh, divided into six sub-dialects. There are also notes on the secret vocabularies of the Qalandar, who are conjurers and trainers of monkeys and bears, the Qasal or butchers, and of Panjabi gamblers. The vocabulary of the first-named is fairly complete. The others are very brief, but probably the total number of secret words is small.

  • Epistemic Weakening with Future and Must: Non Veridicality, Evidentiality, and Partial Knowledge
    Epistemic weakening with future and must: non veridicality, evidentiality, and partial knowledge Anastasia Giannakidou and Alda Mari University of Chicago and Institut Jean Nicod, CNRS July 7, 2013 Abstract In this paper, we show that future morphemes in Greek and Italian have purely epistemic non-predictive readings, behaving as equivalent to English must. We call this use ‘epistemic future’. Epistemic future appears to have an evidential compo- nent: it cannot be used if the speaker knows, either via visual perception, or via a report, that the prejacent proposition p is true. This renders epistemic futures nonveridical, on a par with must (Giannakidou 1998, 1999, Giannakidou and Mari 2012a,b). The judgment with the future is epistemically weaker than an unmodal- ized assertion, and relies on partial knowledge supporting p. We show that partial knowledge is not indirect knowledge. Our analysis contrasts with von Fintel and Gillies 2010 who argue that must is ‘strong’, and further refines the classical ‘weak’ analysis of universal epistemic modals ( Kartunnen 1972, Kratzer 1981, Giannakidou 1998, 1999 and more recently Lassiter 2013). 1 Epistemic future: core data from English, Dutch, Greek and Italian The question of whether the category ‘future tense’ in natural languages is a tense or modality has received a lot of attention in linguistic semantics, and both answers have been explored (for modal accounts see Bertinetto, 1979; Enç 1996, Copley, 2002; Squartini, 2004; Kaufmann 2005; Mari, 2009,2010,to appear, Klecha to appear, Giannakidou 2012, Giannakidou and Mari 2012a,b, Broekhuis and Verkuyl to appear; for a defense of the temporal analysis see Kissine 2008).

And nowhere is that mirroring (or refractive?) function clearer than in the immense secondary literature attempting to explain or otherwise convey the voluminous teachings of this ‘Greatest Master’ (al-shaykh al-akbar), beginning with the contrasting approaches of his own close disciples and continuing down to our own day. For if virtually all Sufi writings are meant to be mirrors, Ibn ‘Arabi’s works are mirrors of a very peculiar and in some ways utterly unique sort. The novel and highly personal manner in which he integrally com- bined the contrasting approaches of earlier Islamic intellectual traditions that had focused respectively on spiritual disciplines and contemplation, intellectual and scientific inquiry, and the elaboration of scriptural and prophetic teachings - the tripartite scheme of kashf (unveiling), 'aql (intellect), naql (religious tradition) found in virtually all his later com- mentators - was never really repeated or adequately imitated by any subsequent Islamic author.

  • The Future of Greek and Italian: an Evidential Analysis
    Chicago Linguistic Society 48, April 2012 The future of Greek and Italian: an evidential analysis Anastasia Giannakidou, University of Chicago Alda Mari, Institut Jean Nicod, CNRS/ENS/EHESS 1 Main claims • The future tense/ morphemes (FUT) in Greek and Italian are epistemic modals that assess evidence at the utterance time. • The modal and the temporal interpretations of FUT depend on an evidential mechanism of indirect evidence. • The modal reading expresses epistemic uncertainty (nonveridicality). FUT is like a ‘reported’ evidential. • When only direct evidence is available at the utterance time, FUT will be interpreted temporally, i.e. forward shifted. 2 English will also has modal uses Palmer 1990, 1987: Εpistemic use of will: “It is tempting to refer to the meaning of will as probability, alongside possibility and necessity for may and must. But the word ‘probable’ does not provide a good paraphrase. A better paraphrase is again in terms of conclusion: ‘A reasonable conclusion is that...’.” (1) The French’ll be on holiday this week. (2) No doubt, you’ll remember John. But unlike must, will does not seem to be evidential! (3) John will be in his office. (4) John must be in his office (Palmer 1987: 136). 3 Greek/Italian futures: epistemic and temporal interpretation Italian (1) a. Giovanni sarà malato. (Epistemic interpretation) Giovanni FUT-be sick b. O Janis tha ine arrostos. The John FUT be.nonpast.3sg sick John must be sick. (2) Giovanni arriverà alle 5. (Temporal, forward-shifted) Giovanni will-arrive at 5 pm (see Bertinetto, 1979; Squartini, 2004 for previous description of the Italian future).Notice the use of the adverb.
