Scandinavian influence on Southern Lowland Scotch - A contribution to the study of the linguistic relations of English and Scandinavian

George T. Flom

Sinopsis

In "Scandinavian Influence on Southern Lowland Scotch," George T. Flom meticulously explores the linguistic and cultural interactions that shaped the Scots language, particularly in the Southern Lowland regions of Scotland. Flom employs a comparative linguistic analysis, integrating historical texts alongside contemporary examples to trace the Norse influences that permeated Scots due to Viking settlement. His scholarly approach delves into phonology, vocabulary, and syntax, contextualizing this linguistic evolution within the broader tapestry of Scottish and Scandinavian histories, thereby illuminating the intricate interplay of language and identity in these culturally rich landscapes. George T. Flom, a well-respected philologist and linguist, has dedicated much of his career to the study of Germanic languages. His keen interest in the intersections between language, history, and culture, paired with his in-depth knowledge of Old Norse and Scots, provides him with a unique lens through which to analyze these influences. Flom's previous works have earned him recognition as a pioneering figure in the field, inspiring him to conduct this comprehensive investigation into the Scandinavian roots of Southern Lowland Scotch. This book is essential for linguists, historians, and anyone intrigued by cultural heritage, offering profound insights into the dynamic relationships between language and society. Flom'Äôs rigorous research and clear prose make it accessible to both scholars and general readers alike, inviting them to appreciate the rich tapestry of influences that have shaped the Scots language.

Peter Pan

James Matthew Barrie

Who doesn't know a boy who didn't want to become an adult? Of course, everyone knows Peter Pan!.. After all, there is a child in everyone's soul who does not want to grow up for anything. This was especially felt by James Barry, who wrote in his novelistic work about a lost boy who did not want his parents to find him and raise him. And when Barry started writing for children… Children's works more fully reflected the main features of his work: reality is often mixed with fiction, and humor and comic situations are fanned with bright sadness. "Peter Pan" is a story full of adventures and funny, and sometimes even dangerous, characters: sweet Wendy, her brothers John and Michael, the nanny dog Nana, the flighty fairy Ding-Dili-Don, as well as Lost Boys, the ferocious pirate Captain Hook-Hook, who instead of one hand has a terrible iron hook, red Indians, pirates and various animals. Peter and the fairy persuade Wendy and her brothers to escape to the land of Nowhere, where friends settle in an underground house, swim in the lagoon, experience many terrible adventures and return home after Peter's victory over the pirates. Unfortunately, all adventures, as well as childhood, come to an end sometime... Enjoy the fairy tale story read in the original, which glorified its author

Speaking in Tongues

Mariana Dimópulos, J. M. Coetzee

Language, historically speaking, has always been slippery. Two dictionaries provide two different maps of the universe: which one is true, or are both false? Speaking in Tongues—taking the form of a dialogue between Nobel laureate novelist J. M. Coetzee and eminent translator Mariana Dimópulos—examines some of the most pressing linguistic issues that plague writers and translators well into the twenty-first century. 
 
 
 
The authors inquire if one can truly love an acquired language, and they question why certain languages, like Spanish, have gender differences built into them. They examine the threat of monolingualism and ask how we can counter, if at all, the global spread of the English language, which seems to maraud like a colonial power. They question whether it should be the duty of the translator to remove morally objectionable language. And in the conclusion, Coetzee even speculates whether it's only mathematics that can tell the truth about everything. 
 
 
 
Drawing from decades of experience in the craft of language, both Dimópulos and Coetzee face the reality that when it comes to self-expression, some things will always get lost in translation. Speaking in Tongues finally emerges as an engaging and accessible work of philosophy, shining a light on some of the most important linguistic and philological issues of our time.
