  • What Is a Boggart Hole?1 Simon Young ISI, Florence (Italy)
    What is a Boggart Hole?1 Simon Young ISI, Florence (Italy) INTRODUCTION The boggart—a word of uncertain origins (OED, ‘Boggard, -art’; Nodal and Milner 1875, 126; Wright 1898–1905, I, 326)—was once a much feared bogey in the midlands and the north of England. By the nineteenth century it had come to be associated, above all, with what might be called a ‘greater Lancashire’: the County Palatine, the south Pennines and the northern fringes of Cheshire and Derbyshire. Relative to the amount of writing that survives, most of it from the 1800s and much in Lancashire dialect, the boggart is perhaps Britain’s most understudied supernatural creature. This is true of the nineteenth century (Thornber 1837, 38, 99–104 and 329–34; Harland and Wilkinson 1867, 49–62; 1873, 10–12 and 141– 42; Hardwick 1872, 124–42; Bowker 1883, 27–36, 52–58, 63–72, 77–82, 131–39, 152–58, 174–88, 212–20 and 238–42; McKay 1888), and of recent years (Billingsley 2007, 69–74; Turner-Bishop 2010; Roberts 2013, 95–105; Young 2014b). Boggart place-names have particularly been neglected. In fact, there is, to the best of the present writer’s knowledge, no study of boggart toponyms, despite the existence of tens of boggart place-names, many still in use today.2 1 I would like to thank John Billingsley, David Boardman, Ffion Dash, Anna Garrett, Richard Green, Denise Jagger, Stephen Lees, Wendy Lord, Eileen Ormand and the anonymous reviewer for help with the writing and with the improvement of this article.

  • Forbidden History of Europe Page Stamp.Qxd
    The Forbidden History of Europe - The Chronicles and Testament of the Aryan 801 opposition to the blinding light of their Elect.528 In this age, politics and religion were so deeply related, that an ideological attack on the Church became an attack on the state political apparatus. As defender of the faith, the state refused to sit idly by while such an unmottley crew of dissenters forged on unabated. State responses to such spiritual rebellion varied depending on the level of relations enjoyed between a given monarch and their Holy See. As time went by both sides turned to violence to defend their rights of belief and worship. It was a religious war rarely fought on the streets, but which proceeded with renewed atrocity, time without end, partitioning whole communities wherever heresy had taken root. The pyres of heretical martyrs, a growing conflagration, provided the eternal fuel for anti-Church sentiment. It seems the more who died, the bigger that hate became. What started out as a fight over the penetration of dualistic dogmas into Europe, ended up a protracted conflict over the execution of heretics by the state. For hundreds of years heresy and astrology had been cut out of Western Europe like a gangrenous sore and all MAGIC RETURNED TO but ceased to exist. But from the 10th Century AD, the timetable for the re-introduction of dualistic heresy, astrology EUROPE IN FULL and high magic was going ahead at some pace, the invasion had begun, with Magi, Manichees, Neo-Manichees, MEASURE Magian-Christians, and pagan gnostics pitting themselves against the Byzantine and Roman inquisitors and heresiographers.

    Advances in Language and Literary Studies ISSN: 2203-4714 Vol. 6 No. 5; October 2015 Flourishing Creativity & Literacy Australian International Academic Centre, Australia Linguistic and Cognitive Characteristics of the Composition of the Text of J.K. Rowling's English Tales Elena Solodova Sevastopol State University, Ukraine E-mail: [email protected] Doi:10.7575/aiac.alls.v.6n.5p.151 Received: 17/05/2015 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.alls.v.6n.5p.151 Accepted: 29/07/2015 Abstract This article focuses on linguistic and cognitive characteristics inherent in the composition of the English postmodern tales written by J.K. Rowling. The composition of the text is viewed as linguistic and cognitive construal that integrates compositional plot structure, compositional meaning structure, linguistic and stylistic means of their actualization in the text. The content of the text is organized as a specific configuration of compositional plot blocks reflecting similar topics of textual situations. The coherence and cohesion of compositional plot blocks are provided by the compositional devices which perform text building and text forming functions. Compositional meaning structure is revealed via reconstruction of the conceptual metaphoric and metonymic schemas embodied in compositional plot blocks. The key meaning is represented by the megametaphor LIFE IS THE CHOICE OF A PATH, which in the text unfolds into a number of conceptual metaphors and metonymies. The peculiarities of representation of compositional plot structure and compositional meaning structure are explained through the analysis of corresponding linguistic and stylistic means and types of narration. Keywords: Composition, Linguo-cognitive construal, Compositional plot structure, Compositional meaning structure, Compositional plot blocks, Conceptual megametaphor 1.

    Word Formation Processes in Naming Magical Creature in Harry Potter Novels WORD FORMATION PROCESSES IN NAMING MAGICAL CREATURE IN HARRY POTTER NOVELS Ulfatur Rosyidah English Department, Faculty of Language and Art, State University of Surabaya [email protected] Lisetyo Ariyanti English Department, Faculty of Language and Art, State University of Surabaya [email protected] Abstrak Makhluk ajaib adalah sesuatu yang diyakini untuk menjadi makhluk nyata, tetapi beberapa memiliki bentuk ditelusuri asli mereka dari mitos sastra.

  • Goblin Mythology: a Brief Study of the Archetype, Tracing the Explications
    Global Journal of HUMAN-SOCIAL SCIENCE: A Arts & Humanities - Psychology Volume 19 Issue 4 Version 1.0 Year 2019 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Goblin Mythology: A Brief Study of the Archetype, Tracing the Explications in English Literature By Annliya Shaijan University of Calicut Abstract- Folktales refer to the narrative prose literature of the oral tradition. They include various types of stories like myths, legends, parables, allegories, fairy tales, ghost stories and so on. Folktales generally have religious connotations and have mythical and imaginary elements. According to Thompson, “the teller of stories has everywhere and always found eager listeners.” Goblins, the myth that originated in literature around the fourteenth century, have become one of the common characters of attraction for the writers that they survived through the fictional world over the centuries and are commonly cited figures in the contemporary works of art. This paper is a brief study on the depiction of goblins in literature. A Goblin is a mythical character that though does not exist in the real world, becomes a recurring character of the imagined real world of the authors as well as of the folktales. The fictional world regards goblins as mischievous, and demon- like and it used them as synonyms for other negative types of fairies of malicious and evil connotations. The belief in such stories was known as “nursery goblinism.” The recurring nature of the myth in literature is the proved depiction of the obsession of humans towards evil and good.
