  • The De-Germanicising of English(1)
    THE DE-GERMANICISING OF ENGLISH(1) Paul Edmund DAVENPORT English is not an isolated tongue but a member of the Germanic languages, which are in turn members of the Indo-Europan language family. In this case, in saying that certain languages are 'members' of a language 'family', we mean that the said languages have a common origin. The so-called Germanic languages of today (principally English, Dutch, German, and the Scandinavian languages(5) have a common origin in an ancient, unrecorded language usually called Proto- Germanic. This Proto-Germanic, like Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, and the ancient Celtic and Slavonic languages, evolved from a still more ancient language usually referred to as the Proto-Indo-European parent language. The common application in historical linguistics of such anthropological terms of kinship as 'parent' and 'family', as I have just used them, and 'ancestor', 'descendant' , 'sister' (as in 'English and German are sister languages') is quite relevant to the present discussion. Human offspring normally reproduce and thus continue some of the physical features and personality traits of their parents; at the same time an otherwise unique personality develops in each specimen, prompted by inherent tendencies and reactions to environmental influences. In language, of course, quite unlike the animal kingdom, the chain of connection between 'parent' and 'child' is one that evolves slowly and is broken only gradually. Still, when we look at Old English and modern English, or Latin and French, or Sanskrit and Hindi, it is easy to discern a convenient parallelism with the situation of human kinship in the phenomena of historically verifiable lineal connection, the continua- tion of certain characteristics (such as lexical items and various grammatical feat- ures), the development of apparently inherent tendencies (certain types of phono- logical and grammatical change), and environmental influences (the influence of Norse in the reduction of Old English inflections or the influence of French on the Middle English vocabulary, for example).

    THE PICTURE STONES OF GOTLAND: TYPE C AND D STONES AS DEATH MEMORIALS _______________ A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Comparative Cultural Studies University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts _______________ By Kelsie H. Spears May, 2016 THE PICTURE STONES OF GOTLAND: TYPE C AND D STONES AS DEATH MEMORIALS _______________ An Abstract of a Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Comparative Cultural Studies University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts _______________ By Kelsie H. Spears May, 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the picture stones of Gotland, Sweden dating to the Viking Age. The Viking Age picture stones are made up of two groups, C and D, as delineated by Sune Lindqvist, dating to 700-1000 AD. Utilizing a basic hypothesis by Björn Varenius, which was applied to Early Iron Age picture stones, a research plan was created and applied to the stones of the Viking Age. An iconographic analysis was performed on six well-known stones found in the Gotland Museum and Swedish National Antiquity Museum. This iconographic analysis used the frequency of individual images and a correlation of images appearing together to interpret the basic thematic meaning of the iconography. A landscape discussion and context analysis was done on three sites, Buttle Änge, Fröjel Stenstugu, and Visne ängar, which had in situ picture stones. The landscape discussion sought to find significant features which could be connected to the stones and interpreted.

  • Tendencies in Gotland's History-Writing, 1850–2010
    In the shadow of the Middle Ages? Tendencies in Gotland’s history-writing, 1850–2010 Samuel Edquist Previous research on history-writing and other forms of the use of history has so far to a large extent analysed national and ethnic identities and their formation through narratives of the past.1 Other territorial identity projects have been less studied, relatively speaking. Still, the importance of the past is just as obvious in local, regional, and supranational identity projects.2 The latter have largely used similar mechanisms as those used in the nationalist projects, at least on the discursive level. Not only do geographical and contemporary cultural aspects delineate the regional ‘us’, but, more than that, do so by telling and retelling a common narrative about the past. ‘We’ have always lived here, ‘we’ have shared a common destiny down the centuries. In this study, I will analyse regional identity construction on Gotland. Gotland is the largest of all the Baltic islands, with a population of some 57,000 and a land area of 3,000 km2. It is one of Sweden’s twenty-five historical provinces (landskap), and constitutes a separate county (län). The province of Gotland also includes some smaller islands. The only inhabited one is Fårö, a separate parish at Gotland’s north-eastern edge, with some 550 inhabitants and a land area of 114 km2. Some of the uninhabited islands—Gotska Sandön, Stora Karlsö, and Lilla Karlsö—have nevertheless played a role in regional topography and history-writing, thanks to their distinctive landscape and as somewhat exotic places where historical events of the more curious and thrilling kind have taken place.3 1 Among numerous examples, see, for example, T.

  • Probleme Des Königtums in Nordosteuropa Im Zeitalter Der Union Von Kalmar (1397-1521)
    Probleme des Königtums in Nordosteuropa im Zeitalter der Union von Kalmar (1397-1521) VON KLAUS ZERNACK Herbert Ludat zum 75. Geburtstag Die Überlegungen dieses Beitrags verfolgen ein doppeltes Ziel: Sie sollen einerseits den Erörterungen zum polnischen Königtum des 15. Jahrhunderts Beobachtungen zur skandinavi­ schen Verfassungsgeschichte im Zeitalter der Kalmarer Union (1397­1521) gegenüberstellen, andererseits suchen sie Gesichtspunkte für eine komparative Verarbeitung des Tagungsthemas zu gewinnen. Dabei wird Skandinavien aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit weitgehend auf das schwedische Beispiel beschränkt bleiben. Doch schafft der markante historische Konnex, den Polen und Schweden als Ostseemächte bieten, besonders günstige Voraussetzungen gerade für diesen Vergleich. Der Gang der Erörterungen ist gegliedert in einen politikgeschichtlich­ erzählenden (Die Thronwechsel in Schweden in der Epoche der Kalmarer Union) und einen »systematisch«­ordnenden Teil (Propaganda, Symbole, Verfassung und Verwaltung des schwedischen Königtums), die eingerahmt werden von vergleichenden Betrachtungen zur 1 Verfassungsgeschichte Nordosteuropas ) im Spätmittelalter und in der frühen Neuzeit. ;i- In der politischen Philosophie der Neuzeit gibt es einen prominenten Schweden­Polen­ Vergleich, der auf diese Probleme vom Ende der alteuropäischen Epoche her Bezug nimmt. Es handelt sich um Rousseaus »Considerations sur le gouvernement de la Pologne« von 1772. In diesem Buch apostrophiert Rousseau die Verfassung des Vierstände­Reichs Schweden­Finn­ land als die reinste republikanische Ordnung, die eine alte Nation in Europa hervorgebracht 1) Ich benutze diesen Begriff im Sinne von Geschichtslandschaft großregionalen Zuschnitts, Walter Schlesinger sprach in bezug auf Ostmitteleuropa von »geschichtlichem Großraum« (Zur Problematik der Erforschung der deutschen Ostsiedlung.

  • Picture-Stone Workshops on Viking Age Gotland – a Study of Craftworkers’ Traces
    Picture-stone workshops on Viking Age Gotland 397 Laila Kitzler Åhfeldt Picture-stone workshops on Viking Age Gotland – a study of craftworkers’ traces Introduction The question underlying this investigation is whether Gotland’s Viking-Age picture stones were the subject of workshops and schools. One way of approaching this is to examine whether the use of templates and cut- ting techniques might show interrelationships between craftsmen and on this basis discuss different craft traditions. This study will thus examine if and how templates or stencils were used on Gotland’s Viking-Age picture stones and what cutting tech- niques were applied when reproducing the sails on the picture-stone ships. The point of departure for comparison of craft traditions is the Insular Celtic approach to orna- ment in contrast to the Romanized Continental. This is naturally a vast subject en- compassing considerable research, which cannot be fairly treated in this study, but some main observations will serve as a background to this discussion on the Got- landic picture-stone craft which has not been examined so much from the point of view of craftsmanship and techniques of carving, in contrast to for example, North- umbrian sculpture in northern England where there is an extensive discussion on gridding, measuring units, templates, etc. A selection of 18 picture stones from Sune Lindqvist’s C and D groups1 were ana- lysed with the help of a high resolution 3D-scanner (ATOS II). Several of these picture stones have already been extensively researched with regard to their picture content.2 I will concentrate primarily on the evidence for the use of templates and other methods of production that might reflect different craft-working traditions, connec- tions between groups of carvers, and any apparent priorities in pictorial represen- tation.

  • The Germanic Languages
    This page intentionally left blank THE GERMANIC LANGUAGES Germanic – one of the largest subgroups of the Indo-European language family – comprises 37 languages with an estimated 470 million speakers worldwide. This book presents a comparative linguistic survey of the full range of Germanic languages, both ancient and modern, including major world languages such as English and German (West Germanic), the Scandi- navian (North Germanic) languages, and the extinct East Germanic lan- guages. Unlike previous studies, it does not take a chronological or a language-by-language approach, organized instead around linguistic con- structions and subsystems. Considering dialects alongside standard varieties, it provides a detailed account of topics such as case, word formation, sound systems, vowel length, syllable structure, the noun phrase, the verb phrase, the expression of tense and mood, and the syntax of the clause. Authoritative and comprehensive, this much-needed survey will be welcomed by scholars and students of the Germanic languages, as well as linguists across the many branches of the field. WAYNE HARBERT is Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Linguistics, Cornell University. He has published extensively on syntactic topics, with a particular emphasis on historical syntax. His work on Germanic languages covers a wide range of problems in historical Ger- manic syntax and phonology, drawing on data from Gothic, Old English, Old High German, Old Saxon, Old Norse, and Modern German.
