The Virtues of Language: History in language, linguistics and texts. Papers in memory of Thomas FrankDieter Stein, Rosanna Sornicola John Benjamins Publishing, 15.09.1998 - 232 Seiten The volume contains 13 specially written specialist articles on a wide range of subjects within the ambit of the history of the English language and prominent literary uses of it. In uniting linguistic and literary pursuits in a single volume, it follows the noble Neapolitan scholar s research interests, as well as representing topics that figure prominently in any comprehensive university course in English. Subjects range from the rise of the present progressive in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle via issues in Medieval English, concepts of language inherent in the Early Modern English grammatical treatises and an evaluation of their value as evidence for the development of the language, the new science and language in the 17th century, on literary issues like the implied director in Macbeth, Sir Elyot s Enigmatic Image of Governance , English history reflected in Ben Jonson to the history of text types and Jespersen s reading of Saussure s Cours . Apart from an introductory section with articles on Frank s biography, his scientific activities and his impact on the field, the book contains work by Susan Fitzmaurice, Nicola Pantaleo, Gabriella Di Martino, Konrad Koerner, Stefano Manferlotti, Uwe Baumann, Anna Maria Palombi Cataldi, Rosanna Sornicola and Dieter Stein. |
