Problems in Quantitative Linguistics
Issues in Quantitative Linguistics 3 View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE edited by provided by Jagiellonian Univeristy Repository Reinhard Köhler Gabriel Altmann Dedicated to Karl-Heinz Best on the occasion of his 70th birthday 2013 RAM-Verlag The influx rate of Turkic glosses in Hungarian and Polish post-mediaeval texts Kamil Stachowski, Jagiellonian University Abstract. The paper analyzes Turkic glosses in Hungarian and Polish post/mediaeval texts from the point of view of their correlation with historical events, and of their com- patibility with the Piotrovskij-Altmann law. The correspondence is found to be very good in both cases. A slight modification is proposed to the equation to lend more lin- guistic significance to one of the coefficients. 0 Rationale The goal of the present paper is twofold. On one hand, it continues the work pioneered by Karl-Heinz Best (Best/Kohlhase 1983, Best 2003, 2006, 2008, 2010 and others), of collecting empirical evidence for the so-called Piotrovskij-Alt- mann law. By providing Hungarian and Polish data, it also adds to the issue of Turkic influence in Europe, first discussed quantitatively in Best (2005) using the example of German. On the other hand, it attempts to show how the quantitative and qualitative " ' ' ' K & '+ &D 8T 6 worked to demonstrate this to a more traditionalistic audience (1990: 371). My aim here is to illustrate how the quantitative approach can reveal a general ten- dency in a collection of detailed observations gathered and explained with the philological method. I will: 1. explain how I prepared the data for analysis, 2. -
Framing 'Turks': Representations of Ottomans and Moors in Continental European Literature 1453-1683
16 2019 FRAMING ‘TURKS’: Representations of Ottomans and Moors in Continental European Literature 1453-1683 ed. Peter Madsen Framing ‘Turks’: Representations of Ottomans and Moors in Continental European Litera- ture 1453-1683, ed. Peter Madsen Nordic Journal of Renaissance Studies 16 • 2019 General Editor of NJRS: Camilla Horster (NJRS was formerly known as Renæssanceforum: Journal of Renaissance Studies) ISSN 2597-0143. URL: www.njrs.dk/njrs_16_2019.htm FRAMING ‘TURKS’ NJRS 16 • 2019 • www.njrs.dk Preface The focus of this issue of Nordic Journal of Renaissance Studies is on Conti- nental Europe, i.e., areas bordering or situated near the Ottoman Empire or otherwise involved in close encounters. It has thus been important to include often neglected, yet most important nations like The Polish-Lithuanian Com- monwealth and Hungary (following the lead of the excellent volume edited by Bodo Guthmüller and Wilhelm Kühlmann: Europa und die Türken in der Renaissance, Tübingen 2000). It has also been important to consider literature beyond well-known classics, thus including works that attracted more atten- tion in their own times than they do today. Finally, it should be underscored how the literary (and intellectual) field beyond the vernaculars included pub- lications in Latin. The introduction is an attempt to situate the subject matter of the individual contributions within a broader historical, intellectual and literary field, thus including further documentation and additional literary examples. ‘Turks’ was the current denomination of contemporary Muslims, whether North African or Spanish ‘Moors’, or inhabitants of the Ottoman Empire or its spheres of various sorts of influence. It should be stressed, though, that although the Ottomans in terms of power and political establishment were Turkish, the inhabitants of the Empire were multi-ethnic and multi-religious. -

Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Since the 14th century the Ottoman Empire (the name comes from Osman – tribe leader from the medieval times) had been creating with conquests a great empire encompassing wide territories of Asia Minor, Middle East, North Africa and Europe. In Europe almost the whole Balkan Peninsula was under the sultan (Turkish ruler). The Turks threatened Poland and the Habsburg monarchy (Austria). Transylvania, Wallachia and Moldova (duchies which are parts of present‐day Romania and Moldova) were a bone of contention. In 1683 Vienna, the capital of Austria, was besieged by the Turkish army. Polish king John III Sobieski concluded an alliance with the emperor Leopold I. United Polish and German armies under the command of the Polish monarch came to the relief of Austrian capital. On 12th September 1683 there was a great battle of Vienna where John III magnificently defeated Turks. Polish mercenaries (Hussars) and artillery had the key role there. -

Eugene Miakinkov
Russian Military Culture during the Reigns of Catherine II and Paul I, 1762-1801 by Eugene Miakinkov A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©Eugene Miakinkov, 2015 Abstract This study explores the shape and development of military culture during the reign of Catherine II. Next to the institutions of the autocracy and the Orthodox Church, the military occupied the most important position in imperial Russia, especially in the eighteenth century. Rather than analyzing the military as an institution or a fighting force, this dissertation uses the tools of cultural history to explore its attitudes, values, aspirations, tensions, and beliefs. Patronage and education served to introduce a generation of young nobles to the world of the military culture, and expose it to its values of respect, hierarchy, subordination, but also the importance of professional knowledge. Merit is a crucial component in any military, and Catherine’s military culture had to resolve the tensions between the idea of meritocracy and seniority. All of the above ideas and dilemmas were expressed in a number of military texts that began to appear during Catherine’s reign. It was during that time that the military culture acquired the cultural, political, and intellectual space to develop – a space I label the “military public sphere”. This development was most clearly evident in the publication, by Russian authors, of a range of military literature for the first time in this era. The military culture was also reflected in the symbolic means used by the senior commanders to convey and reinforce its values in the army. -

The Transfer of Military Technology and Tactics Between Western Europe and the Ottoman Empire, C
COLIN IMBER THE TRANSFER OF MILITARY TECHNOLOGY AND TACTICS BETWEEN WESTERN EUROPE AND THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, C. 1400-C. 1600 It was once common for European historians to describe the Ottomans as inherently incompetent in military as much as in governmental and cultural matters, and to attribute Ottoman success in war to the employ- ment of European “renegades.” While this view is now largely discred- ited, it still exercises a lingering influence and still tempts historians to take an oversimplified view of intellectual, technical and cultural exchanges between Europe and the Ottoman Empire. It also conceals a problem with the notion of “Europe” itself. Historians generally use the term to refer specifically to western and central Europe, but even accepting this definition, “Europe” was not a homogeneous entity and so to refer simply to “European” influences on the Ottoman Empire is largely meaningless. It is necessary rather to establish where in Europe the influences were coming from. Another tendency has been to regard cases where the Ottomans did not adopt European technologies or prac- tices as examples of Ottoman “failure,” without considering the context. In the military sphere, for example, the Ottomans before 1600 “failed” to adopt the tactic of deploying disciplined battlefield formations of pike- men and arquebusiers which had proved effective in Western Europe. In reality, however, this formation would have been useless for warfare in the mountains and desert fringes on the Ottoman eastern and southern My thanks to Professor Daniel Szechi for his invaluable comments on the first draft of this article.
