The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain

The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain </. C. Greig and A. B. Cooper Primitive breeds of sheep and goats, such as the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, could be in danger of disappearing with the present rapid decline in pastoral farming. The authors, both members of the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources in Edinburgh University, point out that, quite apart from their historical and cultural interest, these breeds have an important part to play in modern livestock breeding, which needs a constant infusion of new genes from unimproved breeds to get the benefits of hybrid vigour. Moreover these primitive breeds are able to use the poor land and live in the harsh environment which no modern hybrid sheep can stand. Recent work on primitive breeds of sheep and goats in Scotland has drawn attention not only to the necessity for conserving them, but also to the fact that there is no organisation taking a direct scientific in- terest in them. Primitive livestock strains are the jetsam of the Agricul- tural Revolution, and they tend to survive in Europe's peripheral regions. The sheep breeds are the best examples, such as the sheep of Ushant, off the Brittany coast, the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, the Shetland sheep, the Soay sheep of St Kilda, and the Manx Loaghtan breed. Presumably all have survived because of their isolation in these remote and usually infertile areas. A 'primitive breed' is a livestock breed which has remained relatively unchanged through the last 200 years of modern animal-breeding techniques. The word 'primitive' is perhaps unfortunate, since it implies qualities which are obsolete or undeveloped.

Performative Sentences and the Morphosyntax-Semantics Interface in Archaic Vedic

View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Journal of South Asian Linguistics JSAL volume 1, issue 1 October 2008 Performative Sentences and the Morphosyntax-Semantics Interface in Archaic Vedic Eystein Dahl, University of Oslo Received November 1, 2007; Revised October 15, 2008 Abstract Performative sentences represent a particularly intriguing type of self-referring assertive clauses, as they constitute an area of linguistics where the relationship between the semantic-grammatical and the pragmatic-contextual dimension of language is especially transparent. This paper examines how the notion of performativity interacts with different tense, aspect and mood categories in Vedic. The claim is that one may distinguish three slightly different constraints on performative sentences, a modal constraint demanding that the proposition is represented as being in full accordance with the Common Ground, an aspectual constraint demanding that there is a coextension relation between event time and reference time and a temporal constraint demanding that the reference time is coextensive with speech time. It is shown that the Archaic Vedic present indicative, aorist indicative and aorist injunctive are quite compatible with these constraints, that the basic modal specifications of present and aorist subjunctive and optative violate the modal constraint on performative sentences, but give rise to speaker-oriented readings which in turn are compatible with that constraint. However, the imperfect, the present injunctive, the perfect indicative and the various modal categories of the perfect stem are argued to be incompatible with the constraints on performative sentences. 1 Introduction Performative sentences represent a particularly intriguing type of self-referring assertive clauses, as they constitute an area of linguistics where the relationship between the semantic-grammatical and the pragmatic-contextual dimension of language is especially transparent.
The Music of Rhythm Willie Can Be at Once a Blues Harmonica Fan's Most Exciting and Most Frustrating Discovery

Copyright Scott Dirks, for Blues & Rhythm magazine The music of Rhythm Willie can be at once a blues harmonica fan's most exciting and most frustrating discovery. His recordings reveal a technically accomplished and musically innovative player, with few peers on the standard 10-hole Marine Band harmonica in his day. A strong case can be made for his position as the first truly urban blues harp player; at a time when the harmonica was still used in black music essentially for 'country' adornment, Rhythm Willie was utilizing it with the urbanity of a jazz trumpeter or clarinetist. Yet until recently almost nothing was known of him other than the sound of his harmonica in the grooves of a handful of rare 78s recorded in Chicago between 1939 and 1950. Overlooked by blues researchers and historians for over 40 years, mention of his name draws only blank expressions or resigned shrugs from most blues authorities. Listening for biographical clues in his music reveals virtually nothing about the artist--his only recordings as a leader were all instrumentals. Further compounding the mystery, most of Willie's appearances as an accompanist on the recordings of other blues artists are attributed to "unknown harmonica" or "possibly Lee McCoy" in published discographies (a situation which this article will examine and attempt to rectify.) In fact, given his extraordinary range and talent, referring to Rhythm Willie as simply a "blues" harmonica player might be slightly unfair, and in retrospect it's easy to imagine that Willie himself may have gone to some lengths to avoid being classified with the blues harp players he probably considered to be his musically less sophisticated country cousins.
The Role of Syntactic and Semantic Level in Middle-Irish Verbal Noun: This Paper Aims to Provide Some Insights Into the Interact

The role of syntactic and semantic level in middle-Irish verbal noun: This paper aims to provide some insights into the interaction between the syntactic level and the semantic one, with special regards on the middle-Irish verbal noun The research concentrates on the syntactic and semantic functions of Verbal Noun in Irish. One of the more striking features of the Celtic languages is their lack of a category of infinitive comparable to that found in most other Indo-European languages. Instead, a nominalization is used, which is usually termed “Verbal Noun”. This Verbal Noun is a true noun: it is declined like other nominals and takes its argument in genitive case. One of the recurring issues in the literature on the Irish Verbal Noun has been whether or not the Verbal Noun is an infinitive. The answer to this question depends on which criteria are used. From a syntactic point of view, a Verbal Noun behaves like a verbal argument and it could assume a nominal function or a verbal function (in this sense it could be the verb of a subordinate clause): a. When a Verbal Noun functions as a noun, it could be syntactically subject, direct object, indirect object, governed by a preposition, noun of a nominal predicate. From a semantic point of view, the verbal noun can code two meanings: 1. an abstract meaning “action of Vx”, i.e. an entity with the traits [-animate], [-human]. For example: From Táin Bó Cúalnge (1967), rigo 90-92: Ra iarfacht Dare do Mac Roth cid ask:IND.PERF.3.SG Dare:NOM.SG.

Transformative Poetry. a General Introduction and a Case Study of Psalm 2

Perichoresis Volume 14. Issue 2 (2016): 3-20 DOI: 10.1515/perc-2016-0007 TRANSFORMATIVE POETRY. A GENERAL INTRODUCTION AND A CASE STUDY OF PSALM 2 ARCHIBALD L. H. M. VAN WIERINGEN * Tilburg University ABSTRACT. The structure of Psalm 2 is based on direct speeches in the text. These direct speeches characterise the communication that takes place in the text. The text-immanent author addresses the text-immanent reader with a question in the first line and with a makarismos in the last line. The direct speeches of the characters enable the text-immanent reader to undergo a development in his striving towards the beatitude. In this development, the ‘now’ of the birth of the Anointed One / Son is re-enacted in the reading moment of the text-immanent reader. The reception of Psalm 2 makes clear that Hebrews and the Christmas liturgy re-use the text, while retaining this re-enactment character. KEY WORDS: Psalm 2, synchrony, Epistle to the Hebrews , introit midnight Mass Christmas, direct speech Introductory Remarks: the Characteristics of Transformative Poetry Transformations occur in every religion, most strikingly in religious initiation. This is also the case for Judaism and Christianity. In Judaism, the initiatory transformation is marked by circumcision. The ritual includes the new believer in the promises that God made to Abraham. Through circumcision, Abraham experienced in his body the difficult reali- sation of the promise of a son, and circumcision thus became the expression of his trust, his faith, in the Lord. Circumcision is therefore a sign of faith, both for Abraham and also for the generations to come as in Genesis 17:9-14 (Jacob 1934: 431-434).
