Estrategias para el restablecimiento de los servicios de telecomunicaciones en caso de catástrofes naturales
Authors: Vallejo Barragán Byron Ronald , Reañez Maryoribel
Published: May 2019

Diariamente, en algún punto de nuestro planeta, se experimentan terremotos de media y baja magnitud, se producen tormentas tropicales, se sufren inundaciones, entre otras catástrofes naturales, y el Ecuador, al igual que el resto de los países de Latinoamérica, presenta un alto grado de vulnerabilidady riesgo ante estos fenómenos, en especial de sismos y terremotos, debido a su ubicación geográfica.La falta de comunicación en el lugar del desastre suele originar la muerte de cientos de personas que se encuentran con vida después del suceso, pues al no poder establecer comunicaciones se da lugar a muertes por asfixia o heridas de gravedad. Por tal motivo el presente trabajo de investigación serealiza con el objetivo de proponer estrategias para el restablecimiento de los servicios de telecomunicaciones de la Corporación Nacional de Telecomunicaciones en caso de catástrofes naturales.Este estudio se inicia con una revisión bibliográfica de temas relacionados con las telecomunicaciones y los organismos reguladores en el país, seguida por una investigación de campo en la que se aplicó una encuesta al personal a fin de determinar la situación actual del problema. Los resultados de esta encuesta evidencian la necesidad de garantizar la continuidad y calidad de los servicios de telecomunicaciones de CNT EP antes, durante y después de un desastre natural. El plan de restablecimiento de las comunicaciones se enfocó en la necesidad de incrementar la capacidad de transmisiones en cada una de las centrales en estado de emergencia para evitar la congestión de llamadas, además de dar mantenimiento periódico a la infraestructura para garantizar la óptima condición de los enlaces.
Tendencias tecnológicas para módulos autónomos en el laboratorio de Física
Authors: Reañez Mayoribel , Albarracín Wilmer Fabián , Delgado Mercedes
Published: May 2019

Las actividades experimentales son parte fundamental del proceso educativo de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la física; sin embargo, las clases de laboratorio no son aprovechadas eficientemente, debido a que en algunos institutos de educación de Ecuador no existen lugares propiados o se limitan a realizar prácticas con equipos e instrumentos obsoletos, y encima cada medición la realiza un solo operador. Todo esto trae como consecuencia que la toma de datos se efectúe con un nivel muy alto de errores, tanto de tipo accidental como sistemáticos. Para tratar de solventar esta situación se están desarrollando módulos autónomos para las clases de laboratorio de Física apoyados en las tendencias tecnológicas actuales.Con el objetivo de describir cómo pueden utilizarse las tendencias tecnológicas en los módulos autónomos para el desarrollo de actividades de laboratorio en Física, se realizó la presente investigación documental descriptiva, desde el marco referencial interpretativo de la hermenéutica y sustentada teóricamente en las tendencias tecnológicas actuales, así como en la manera en que estas pueden ser aprovechadas en la enseñanza práctica de la Física a nivel universitario. Con este propósito se realizó la descripción de tecnologías emergentes tales como la inteligencia artificial, la realidad aumentada, el internet de las cosas, la experiencia inmersiva, blockchain y la conectividad 5G, y se determinaron sus implicaciones y posibles usos didácticos para los módulos autónomos en el laboratorio de Física. Se destaca como consideración final que la posibilidad de conectividad ultrarrápida y la toma de decisiones de forma automatizada favorecen positivamente el proceso de enseñanzaaprendizaje de la Física.
Análisis de la calidad de servicio del gobierno electrónico para la documentación e identificación
Authors: García Montilla Gleidys Corina , Montiel Villalobos Luis Nicolás
Published: May 2019

La calidad de servicio es un elemento recurrente en los servicios orientados al usuario, es una herramienta y a la vez un fin específico enmarcado en este trabajo en el gobierno electrónico para ladocumentación e identificación, con lo cual se busca hacer un análisis con el propósito de reconocer los aspectos que expresa el ciudadano común, receptor del servicio, para crear una interacción con la gerencia del SAIME, como oficina responsable del Estado Nacional en cumplir este derecho a la sociedad, con el fin de desarrollar y promover una mayor adaptabilidad, iniciativa y desarrollo organizacional, de la mano a la evolución tecnológica, que implica la incorporación de infraestructuras e internet, para crear servicios más accesibles, más efectivos y a menor costo. De esta forma, el objetivo del presente artículo es analizar la calidad de servicio del gobierno electrónico para la documentación e identificación, visto desde la única oficina del municipio Santa Rita, del estado Zulia, proporcionando un valor agregado a la situación del usuario entre sus expectativas y el servicio percibido, sino también con las expectativas de un servicio óptimo y lo percibido. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, se realizó una investigación descriptiva, de campo, hacia una generalización inductiva, basado en los fundamentos teóricos de Cardona (2009), Rodríguez (2012), De Armas y De Armas (2011),entre otros. Se concluye que la calidad de servicio del gobierno electrónico, vista en sus cinco dimensiones: elementos tangibles, fiabilidad, capacidad de respuesta, seguridad, finalmente, empatía; se encuentran en un nivel medianamente satisfactorio; sin embargo, si se compara esos valores con un servicio óptimo los niveles de satisfacción son negativos, por lo que se supone la espera de un servicio regular que cumpla los objetivos sin garantía de una grata experiencia o plena eficiencia.

A DILEMMA EXPERIENCED BY BUSINESSES: ETHICS AND COST
Authors: YILMAZ Aylin , DİKEN Ahmet
Published: May 2019

In today's business world, competition is the most
important thing. On the other hand, it became quite difficult to survive and
ensure a sustainable development for the businesses. Achieving success in the
global world requires not only to be productive and creative, but also to give
importance to ethical values. While conducting ethical behaviors in business
life provides profitability and competitive advantage, unethical behaviors add
additional costs to businesses. However, ethical values sometimes vary from one
society to another. While the behavior of a firm is unethical according to one
society, it may be considered as normal according to another. In such cases,
firms may have difficulties in making decisions. In this study, when there is a
dilemma between making a profit and behaving ethically, which of the
enterprises should be preferred is evaluated in terms of ethical and cost
relation. Moreover, the reasons behind the decision are explained. In addition,
the types of unethical behaviors of firms and the effects of these behaviors on
the costs were investigated. As far as it is known, this study is expected to
contribute significantly to the literature because there is no study linking
ethical behaviors of businesses to their costs in the current literature. According
to the results of this theoretical literature review, the reasons such as
political structure, economic situation and legal regulations affect the needs
of the enterprises. For this reason, enterprises should first follow through
the objectives of cost minimization and profit maximization, then consider
ethical values. In other words, the costs incurred by enterprises not behaving
ethically are better than the profit loss by behaving ethically.
The Relationship Between Grades and the Lexical Richness of Student Essays
Authors: Lemmouh Zakaria
Published: May 2019

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between lexical richness and the grades on essays produced by Swedish university students of English in order to shed light on the extent to which lexical richness is a predictor of overall essay quality. To this end, essays produced by 37 advanced learners of English were analyzed using a lexical richness measure that calculates the proportion of advanced vocabulary. The lexical richness score of the student essays were related to the following three variables: essay grade, course grade and vocabulary knowledge as measured by three discrete-item tests. In addition, a 14-item questionnaire administered to the teachers at the English department eliciting information about their essay assessment procedures was analyzed, in order to shed light on the relationship between the weight teachers put on lexical richness and the grade they award essays with different lexical richness profiles. The results show that there is a relationship between use of advanced vocabulary in student essays and the overall course grade. However, no relationship was found between lexical richness and overall essay quality as reflected by faculty teachers’ ratings. A possible explanation is that a majority of the surveyed faculty teachers state that their assessment of essay quality is primarily based on content and grammar features rather than lexical features.

RP as sociolinguistic object
Authors: Fabricius Anne H.
Published: May 2019

In the linguistic literature there are many descriptions of the phonological and phonetic characteristics of Received Pronunciation or RP. There is however one influential sociolinguistic paradigm, the field of descriptive or Labovian sociolinguistics, also known as Language Variation and Change (Chambers, Trudgill and Schilling-Estes 2001), or as Accent Studies (Foulkes and Docherty 1999: 4) where RP tends to be somewhat neglected. The discipline is largely concentrated on the study of non-standard varieties (see e.g. the collection in Foulkes and Docherty 1999), as must befit a modern dialectological discipline essentially concerned with linguistic diversity.
The Text that Self-Destructs: Narrative Complexity in William Trevor's Fools of Fortune
Authors: Dantanus Ulf
Published: May 2019

Something happened to William Trevor's novelistic fiction between 1976 and 1980. Rather like Richard Rogers's and Renzo Piano's revolutionary Centre Pompidou in Paris (inaugurated in 1977), the plumbing and wiring of previously internal functions were for the first time exhibited on the outside of the structure. In The Children ofDynmouth (1976), like all his previous novels, Trevor used straightforward sequencing of (always numbered) episodes to organise and relay his narration to the reader. In Other People's Worlds (1980) a formal inventory of en-titled sections is introduced in a table of contents. This overall architecture is imposed externally to reflect the attempted structural and thematic unity of authorial design internally.

Creating Images through English on Yellow Pages: Multilingual Practices in Advertising in the Helsinki Region
Authors: Pahta Päivi , Taavitsainen Irma
Published: May 2019

In recent years Finland, like the other Nordic countries, has experienced an explosion in the use of English in various domains of public and private life. This trend has caught the attention of linguists and laymen alike, and has become a popular topic of scholarly investigation in several language departments and the Research Institute for the Languages of Finland,1 in addition to being a topic of lively public discussion. With increasing internationalisation, English has become an essential part of the professional life of a steadily growing number of Finns in various fields, be it politics and government, science and education, business, communication and media, transportation, tourism, sports, culture or entertainment. Those Finns who are not actually involved in international affairs are also heavily subjected to English through the mass media, being thus passive consumers of the language.

The Anonymous 'Eliza': A Puritan Virgin Poet Internalizes Seventeenth-Century English Absolutism
Authors: Stone Stanton Kamille
Published: May 2019

In her only known published volume, Eliza’s Babes: or The Virgin’s Offering (1652), the anonymous poet known as „Eliza‟ figures her virgin identity as a political and religious trope; however critics have been ambiguous on the topic of this poet‟s political affiliation. In the various themes that thread Eliza‟s work is evidence of a constant personalizing process of contemporary trends in both religious belief and political opinion. Pausing only briefly to overtly discuss political events, Eliza tends to internalize religious doctrines and political events until her overriding sense of her own female identity serves to reconcile political and religious conflicts. Although Eliza‟s Puritanical orientation may have, presumably, aligned her against the monarch for a time, as demonstrated by my examination of her verses and their contextualization within Civil War sermons, she was highly influenced by the Presbyterian sense of sympathy toward the beleaguered cause of King Charles I that was enabled by the unreconciled tensions between their interests and those of Parliament.
The Essential Displacement: Lordship and Sovereignty in Aphra Behn‘s Oroonoko, or The Royal Slave
Authors: Zangenehpour Fereshteh
Published: May 2019

For Oronooko, to be both royal and slave, is to dwell within the split of self, a division that mirrors Hegelian dichotomy of the master and slave relationship, which, according to Derrida, is a restricted economy that reproduces meaning. Derrida‘s studies, on the other hand, show that Bataille‘s reinterpretation of Hegel‘s discourse on the question of the dialectic of the master and slave and absolute knowledge submits to an essential displacement, which expresses a non-discursive existence; the absence of meaning, that resembles Oroonoko‘s final sufferings and his death. Additionally, his indifference to the outcome of his sacrifice pulls him out of the Hegelian dialectics. Instead, through a burst of laughter, which is the rupturing of the concept of subjectivity, Oroonoko exceeds the limits of his phenomenological desires, the realm of meaning and reason, thereby dies a sovereign. The dialectical interaction between Hegelian lordship and bondage, and Derrida‘s readings of Bataille‘s concept of laughter are the main focuses of my paper where I examine Oronooko as a sovereign, as a totally other.

Discourse Reflexivity - A Discourse Universal? The Case of ELF
Authors: Mauranen Anna
Published: May 2019

This paper is concerned with metadiscourse, or discourse reflexivity, as a fundamental property of human communication. It assumes that lingua franca evidence is useful for discovering essential, possibly universal aspects of discourse, since participants must adapt to highly diverse and unpredictable circumstances while maintaining communicative efficiency. Metadiscourse is clearly not a feature speakers can dispense with, as is seen in the study reported here. Since ELF speakers cannot rely on much shared linguistic or cultural knowledge with their interlocutors, they need to secure mutual understanding by explicitness strategies, such as discourse reflexivity. This study shows that analysing interaction in dialogic speech events reveal important uses of metadiscourse that have not surfaced in earlier studies, which have used written monologues as their principal source of data. A much more prominent ‘other-orientedness‘, or orientation towards intercolutors, is evident in dialogue than in monologic language. The tendency of discourse reflexivity to collocate with hedges is also supported here.
The Discourse Functions of Metadiscourse in Published Academic Writing: Issues of Culture and Language
Authors: Pérez-Llantada Carmen
Published: May 2019

Taking the non-integrative approach to metadiscourse (Ädel 2006; 2008), this paper carries out a cross-cultural and cross-linguistic analysis of text- and participant-oriented metadiscourse in two rhetorically forceful research article sections (Introductions and Discussions). Results show that, across cultures, the average frequencies of the two types of metadiscourse are relatively similar in the two article sections. Findings also show that the micro-level discourse functions of these metadiscourse types seem to concentrate in specific information moves in these sections, suggestive of shared uniform conventions for academic writing across cultures and languages. The exploration of metadiscourse further reveals several culture- and language-specific traits regarding preferred lexicogrammatical realisations of metadiscourse units, different preferences for personal/impersonal metadiscourse types as well as different textual developments for constructing arguments.
Metadiscursive Practices in Introductions: Phraseology and Semantic Sequences across Genres
Authors: Bondi Marina
Published: May 2019

The study of metadiscursive practices is particularly fruitful in introductory part-genres where the representation of disciplinary discursive procedures plays a major role for the discourse community. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the ways in which some English metadiscursive expressions (forms of self-mention and illocution markers in particular) are used to offer a representation of academic argument in different genres. The paper concentrates on the representation of discourse procedures in introductory moves, looking in particular at how economists identify their research purposes and their discourse space, while providing a definition of their topic or contextualizing their research in current debates. The study is based on two small corpora of article introductions and textbook introductions. The approach adopted looks at phraseology as a perspective integrating meaning, form and function. The phraseological patterns identified are analyzed as sequences of semantic units—involving reference to a textual source, a discourse procedure and a cognitive construct. Cross-generic variation highlights a different lexical range and different lexical combinations in the two corpora examined. This is interpreted in terms of the ethos of the discourse community and the different role played by argument in the two genres.
Hedging devices in Slovene-English Translation: A Corpus-Based Study
Authors: Pisanski Peterlin Agnes
Published: May 2019

Translating research articles into English is fairly common practice in certain disciplines; however, the translated articles are generally not perceived as translations by the reader. Consequently, the translation of the research article is often invisible. Relatively little data is available on issues arising in this type of translation. The present paper aims to explore one of the issues which arise in translating research articles, namely, the question how hedging devices are translated. The importance of hedging in academic discourse has been established by a number of studies; in addition, considerable cross-cultural variation has been observed in the use of hedging. This raises the question of the effect of this variation on translation. In order to explore this question, a corpus of 90 research articles in geography—30 original Slovene articles, 30 English translations of Slovene articles and 30 comparable original English articles—is analysed. The frequency and form of hedging devices used in translated and original English texts are compared in order to identify the ways in which Slovene-English translations differ from comparable English language originals. The results show considerable differences between the two comparable corpora: only half as many hedging devices are used in the translated texts as in the originals and the variety of hedging devices is considerably more limited in the translations.
A Review of Recent Metadiscourse Studies: The Iranian Context
Authors: Crismore Avon , Abdollehzadeh Esmaeel
Published: May 2019

While studies of metadiscourse in a European or US context have been conducted since the 1980s and have reached a relatively wide audience, studies of metadiscourse outside of these areas have a more recent history (if any) and have not attracted much attention. One country in which research into metadiscourse has gained ground in the past decade is Iran. The first author has helped to bring this about and the second author is one of the active researchers into various aspects of metadiscourse in Iran. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of studies of metadiscourse that have taken place in the Iranian context. These have been carried out by master‘s and doctoral-level students in the past decade. A close observation of these studies reveals three areas of metadiscourse-related studies: metadiscourse use in writing in English, cross-linguistic comparison of metadiscourse in English and Persian, and metadiscourse in EFL reading comprehension. Studies related to each area will be reviewed and evaluative summaries at the end of each section will be presented. The implications for metadiscourse research and instruction will also be discussed.

Variation and language engineering in Yoruba-English code-switching
Authors: Adedayo Adedun Emmanuel , Shodipe Mojisola
Published: May 2019

This study deals with the identification and characterization of the variable features of code-switching as used by Yoruba-English bilinguals in Lagos, Nigeria. Against the background of the domestication of English in Nigeria and the reality of language variation across individual, social and generational perspectives, we explore the unique linguistic strategies with which the Yoruba-English speaker reinvents urban speech to meet the challenges of contemporary dynamics of communication in a fast changing world.
Why Phaedrus? Plato in Virginia Woolf’s novel Jacob’s Room
Authors: Armstrong Charles I.
Published: May 2019

Recent criticism has addressed the Platonic and ancient Greek influences on Virginia Woolf’s writings generally, and her novel Jacob’s Room specifically, but there has been no accounting of the motivation for the specific use of Plato’s dialogue Phaedrus in the latter novel. This essay will address how Jacob’s Room engages closely with this dialogue not only with regard to thematic focal points of love and rhetoric, but also in terms of more encompassing structures of space and literary form. In the process, a less ironic approach to Plato and his philosophy than that argued for in much recent criticism comes to light in Woolf’s complex negotiations with the precedent of Victorian Hellenism.
Marlowe and Company in Barnfield’s Greene’s Funeralls (1594)
Authors: Eriksen Roy
Published: May 2019

The accomplished and daring but minor poet Richard Barnfield (1574-1620) was among the first poets to engage creatively with the works of Greene, Marlowe, and Shakespeare. This article argues that Sonnet 9 in Barnfield’s Greene’s Funeralls (1594) reveals not only his admiration for these literary innovators, but also his difficult manoeuvres on the fringes of the group of poetic rivals. Barnfield’s often-quoted, but not fully understood “sonnet” reflects the young poet’s attempts to accost his more famous contemporaries and also sheds light on the date of composition of Doctor Faustus (B) and the early circulation of Shakespeare’s “sugred sonnets”.

Introduction
Authors: Gilsenan Nordin Irene
Published: May 2019

This special issue of Nordic Journal of English Studies is devoted to the research in Irish Studies being carried out in Scandinavia by a group of scholars based in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, as well as scholars associated—in one way or another—with Scandinavia. Denmark is represented by the University of Aalborg; Norway, by scholars affiliated to the Universities of Agder, the Artic University of Norway, Bergen, and Stavanger; and Sweden is represented by scholars from the universities of Dalarna, Göteborg, Stockholm, Södertörn and Umeå. Included also in this special issue is the work of two former students, who completed their Masters’ degree in Irish literature at DUCIS (Dalarna University Centre for Irish Studies), Sweden—from Norway and China respectively. The collection also contains an article by Dara Waldron, Limerick Institute of Technology, Ireland, who recently presented his research at the Higher Seminar in Dalarna. Contributions by the Irish poet, Mary O’Donnell, who participated in the Nordic Irish Studies Network (NISN) conference, hosted by DUCIS in December 2012, are also included.
“All this debris of day-to-day experience”: The Poet as Rhythmanalyst in the Works of Louis MacNeice, Derek Mahon and Paul Muldoon
Authors: Karhio Anne
Published: May 2019

Mahon and Paul Muldoon, and particularly focuses on their poetic journals or journalistic poetry. The word “journal” bridges private and public discourses. Its root is the Latin diurnālis, pertaining to anything taking place “daily,” and thus to repetitive action, record-keeping or reporting carried out by private individuals in the form of a diary (latin diārium), or to journalism contributing to public communications or discourse. To examine the poetic journals of these three writers, the article employs the French philosopher Henri Lefebvre’s concept of rhythmanalysis to discuss the rhythmic, repetitive and changing processes of both poetry and the social and phenomenal experience.
Recent Anglicisms in Romanian
Authors: Pârlog Hortensia
Published: May 2019

In the years after the fall of the communist regime in 1989, when Romania opened to the West, the influence of English on the Romanian language rose to an unprecedented level. Nowadays, English words can be found in all Romanian newspapers and journals, can be heard on any Romanian TV channel, and are frequently used as shop or business names (Parlog 2002); English has even become the language of Romanian graffiti.
Listen—Christy Moore’s Old and New, Glocal Ireland
Authors: Sørensen Bent
Published: May 2019

This article examines the role of popular music in the construction of communal belonging and cultural memory in contemporary Ireland, focusing on a single case, namely that of the former lead singer of Planxty, Christy Moore—ever a politically active songwriter and performer, who was named as “Ireland’s greatest living musician” in RTÉ’s People of the Year Awards in 2007.1 Moore’s solo album, Listen (2009), by its very title invites his audience to listen to a summation of his influences, his past and his diagnosis of the present. The album refers to history—personal, communal and national—in three different areas: Musical history (that of Ireland at large—“Rory’s Gone”), as well as Christy Moore’s personal role in it (“Barrowland”); Irish immigration and diaspora history (“Duffy’s Cut”); and world political history at large (“The Disappeared/Los Desaparacidos”), and yet it also emphasises the present cultural state and critiques it. The article examines this album as a glocal Irish artefact and cultural text.
In Search of the People: The Formation of Legitimacy and Identity in the Debate on Internment in Northern Ireland
Authors: Rosland Sissel
Published: May 2019

The identification of and with “the people” has important effects in political discourse. It works to legitimise political goals; it constructs inclusion and identity, and it produces exclusion of those who do not fit the characteristics attached to “the people.” The current article examines how different concepts of ‘the people’ were constructed by various political groups in Northern Ireland in the debate on internment in the early 1970s. Internment was introduced in August 1971 in order to curb the escalating conflict, but came to increase rather than reduce the level of conflict. The article discusses how exclusionary concepts of “the people” worked to widen the gulf between the groups, and identifies four main sets of “peoples” constructed in the debate: “the loyal people,” “the responsible people,” “the moral people” and “the risen people.”
Hapax Legomena and the Productivity of the Old English Weak Verb Suffixes 1
Authors: Torre Alonso Roberto
Published: May 2019

The aim of this article is to measure the productivity of the Old English weak verb suffixes -ettan, -læcan, -sian, -nian, -lian, -erian and -cian from a synchronic point of view by taking into account the role played by hapax legomena. Productivity in the narrow sense P and global productivity P* are measured and frequency is calculated in terms of type and token. Three types of hapax legomena are distinguished, namely absolute hapaxes (unique formations that appear in one text), relative hapaxes (formations that appear in different texts, but only once in each text) and mixed hapaxes (a subsumption of both types). This typology of hapaxes puts the focus on -sian, -erian, -lian and -cian, which range between very low and zero productivity.
“Loved with an L…”: The Lesbian Continuum in Three Works by Sylvia Townsend Warner
Authors: Paul Ronald
Published: May 2019

This article takes as its critical point of departure Adrienne Rich’s concept of a lesbian continuum of female sisterhood, support and dissent against the norms of patriarchal society. In particular, Rich’s term is used to explore three key works from the 1930s by the English writer, Sylvia Townsend Warner – Opus 7, Whether a Dove or Seagull and Summer Will Show. Not only does Warner herself emerge both politically and personally as a radical lesbian writer during this turbulent period of the 1930s. The article seeks to argue in this context that these three works also represent in themselves a progressively connected delineation of a lesbian continuum of women’s lives through the individual female and lesbian voices that are articulated in Warner’s writing at this crucial stage in her career.
Motion into and out of in English, French and Norwegian
Authors: Egan Thomas , Graedler Anne-Line 
Published: May 2019

This paper presents a contrastive study of Norwegian predications of motion events with the compound prepositions ut av (‘out of’) and inn i (‘into’) and their translations into English and French. The motivation for choosing these two types of predication is that French, unlike English, is said to avoid the use of manner verbs with boundary-crossing events. The paper examines all occurrences in the Oslo Multilingual Corpus (OMC) of self-motion predications containing the two Norwegian prepositions, in all of which path is coded in the prepositional phrase. The verb may also code path, it may code manner, or it may be a neutral verb of movement. We first analyse the Norwegian originals with respect to their coding of path and manner and then turn to the two sets of translations and investigate the extent to which they retain the manner/path coding choices of the source predications and, if not, what sort of alterations they make. If the contention that French avoids manner verbs with boundary-crossing actions is correct, the French translations should exhibit a much greater degree of path or neutral motion coding in the verb than either the Norwegian originals or the English translations. The data show that this is indeed the case. There are also, however, more occurrences of manner verbs in French with boundary-crossing actions than one would expect given the language’s reputation in the literature for avoiding this construction.
Iniesta passed and Messi finished clinically: Football verbs and transitivity
Authors: Bergh Gunnar , Ohlander Sölve
Published: May 2019

Football language, like other special languages, is not only of lexical interest. It is also special by virtue of various syntactic and semantic features, related to the situational context of football. Two areas of verb syntax, involving transitivity, are in focus: the omissibility of certain contextually recoverable “football objects” (e.g. Iniesta passed [the ball], Messi finished [the attack]) and the occurrence of “unconventional” objects of certain verbs (e.g. Their third goal killed the match, Manchester United sold Ronaldo to Real Madrid). Thus, like other special subject areas, football creates its own semanticpragmatic framework, paving the way for constructions and collocations that deviate from those applying in general language.
Three types of zoological common names and their formation-processes
Authors: Shaw Philip

Known biological species have a standard international scientific name, and many species also have more or less fixed common names in one or more languages. We can identify three groups of common names in terms of their form and formation-processes, here called folk, collector, and popularizing. The folk names have long been studied in detail. The collector names have attracted little attention although they show an interesting variety of formation processes and cross-linguistic contrasts reveal interesting social differences. The popularizing names are the most mechanically formed, but the naming patterns reflect interesting aspects of their origin in a nineteenth-century liberal project, in particular nationalism. In this study I examine these types of name and naming process. Comparisons are made among English, French, German, and Swedish, elucidating the formation processes and the differences in word-formation traditions, entomological history, and society they may reflect.
Contrastive linguistics in a new key 1
Authors: Ebeling Jarle
Published: May 2019

In 1994 a group of researchers from the Nordic countries met in Lund, Sweden, for a symposium titled Languages in Contrast: A Symposium on Text-based Cross-linguistic Studies.2 The purpose of the symposium was to gather researchers “active in the field of contrastive linguistics and who share an interest in linking cross-linguistic studies with corpus linguistics and the use of the computer as a tool in linguistic research” (Aijmer et al. (eds) 1996, Acknowledgments). Little did we know back then that we would meet again in Lund in 2014 to commemorate the symposium and celebrate the start of the collaborative efforts that led to the compilation of the parallel corpora known as the English-Norwegian Parallel Corpus (ENPC), the Swedish-English Parallel Corpus (ESPC) and the Finnish-English Contrastive Corpus Studies Project (FECCS).3 Moreover, in 2014, we could also celebrate the 20th anniversary of the research network “Languages in contrast”, which was generously funded by the Nordic Academy for Advanced Study (NorFa) between 1994- 1996, and which meant that the parallel corpus projects could employ research assistants and a software developer (Knut Hofland) to work on the compilation of the corpora.4
Voices in Medieval History Writing
Authors: Claridge Claudia
Published: May 2019

This article investigates speech and writing presentation in medieval historiography, based on (excerpts from) six texts from the Old and Middle English periods, and focusing on the functional aspect. It shows that in order to capture pecularities of the register/genre, approaches from the fields of evidentiality, evaluation/appraisal, and literary as well as academic stylistics need to be combined. Three functional groups of quoting are identified: (i) providing evidence/proof (in similar but not identical ways to modern academic practices) and borrowing authority from suitable texts (e.g. the Bible), (ii) direct or indirect evaluation, also by foregrounding through quotation, and (iii) various narrative functions such as plot advancement, characterization, focusing, and the creation of greater reader involvement. Besides references to writing and speaking, the article also highlights the potential significance of references to hearing, in particular in oral cultures.
Speech, Texts, and Choices from the Modal System: Mood Distribution in Old English Sermons
Authors: Rütten Tanja
Published: May 2019

The present paper investigates the alternation between the imperative and the subjunctive mood in speech representations in Old English. Both imperative and subjunctive mood form relatively fully inflected and robust modal categories in Old English, and a systematic alternation is assumed between both in speech and writing in the period.
The imperative is formally restricted to the second person. Thus, it seems plausible to assume a functional restriction as well, that is, a restriction in usage as a deictic (modal) element with direct reference to a particular addressee. As such, its most natural habitat may be speech and speech representations in writing. By contrast, the subjunctive, with a full formal inventory for person and number, seems much less restricted in terms of functions, and may therefore occur in both speech and writing,—or even preferably in writing, considering the various levels of abstraction and detachment that writing allows.
To my knowledge, there are no previous studies devoted to the topic. Sermons lend themselves to such an investigation for two important reasons: they frequently report speech, e.g. when preachers relate to the congregation Jesus’ words to his disciples from the Bible, and as speech-based texts, they provide frequent instances of direct speech to the congregation. This forms another level of speech representation, which may be contrasted very fruitfully to the speech reported (almost exclusively) from the Bible. The study is corpus-based with a selection from the extant Old English sermon material. The aims of this exploratory study are mainly qualitative. However, in quantitative terms, I will show that the distribution of imperative and subjunctive in Old English sermons follows the various levels of speech representation in texts.
For I am woorthyer by muche then he: The Functions of First Person Singular Utterances in Early Modern English Debate Verse
Authors: Salmi Hanna
Published: May 2019

Very little linguistically oriented work has so far been done on debate poetry. However, debates are an interesting source for studying conflict interactions, a topic of increasing relevance. While literary representations of conflict will not show us how disputes were carried out in reality, they can shed light on which features were salient enough to be used as stylised markers of interactivity in literary texts. As first and second person pronouns are well-known markers of interactivity and involvement, this paper examines the first person utterances in a small corpus of debate poetry, available from the EEBO database. The analysis has two parts: a quantitative analysis, where the represented dialogue and the narrator’s frame story are analysed as separate layers (Clark 1996), and a qualitative analysis focusing on the dialogue sections only. The quantitative analysis involves locating all instances of the first person singular pronoun in subject form, combined with the associated verb phrase. The verbs are then classified according to semantic domains (Biber et al. 1999) and the layer of text they occur in. This quantitative part is designed to allow comparisons between the layers, but also between debate poetry and the genre of controversies. The qualitative section, on the other hand, investigates certain moves commonly found in the dialogues, along with the verb types most frequently associated with each move.
Othering Ourselves: Re-reading Rudyard Kipling and ‘The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes’ (1885)
Authors: Frost Simon
Published: May 2019

The reader who turns to Rudyard Kipling with twenty-first political sensibilities finds a work replete with the orientalism and reductionist ‘othering’ that typifies colonial writing during the period of high Empire. Not least in its superficial treatment of the lives it claims to represent, such reductionism can be traced to the mind of the author and, deeper still, the political-economic culture that structured imperial thinking and informed its actions. Such a view is made possible by our twenty-first century advantage. Even so, clarity in one perspective typically entails indistinctness in another, and for this reason this essay proposes to start from a provocative hypothesis. If we temporarily deny ourselves this interpretative perspective, is it possible for us to learn more about the reading experience of Kipling’s contemporaries and their particular role in circulating his texts? What, in other words, do Kipling’s short tales reveal about those other readers, the readers who can be considered as actors engaged in creating publishing and reception history? Taking ‘The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes’ (1885) as its focus, this essay offers a close reading of Kipling’s short story within the context of the proliferation of magazine short stories in the late-Victorian period. Rather than seeking to produce a contemporary meaning from the text, it seeks to reveal the less obvious home-grown phantoms which Kipling’s story produced for its first audiences.
John Buchan’s Short Stories of Empire: The Indian Protagonist of ‘A Lucid Interval’ (1910)
Authors: Macdonald Kate
Published: May 2019

John Buchan was a noted novelist of Empire, yet his short stories on Imperial subjects and settings have rarely received critical attention. A careful reading of his shorter fiction reveals an alternative commentary on Empire that has been ignored. The works discussed problematize the common assumption that Buchan’s views on Empire in his fiction are Victorian, by showing that he replaced the nineteenth-century model of Imperial rule by military force with the importance of the administrator and the knowledgeable man on the ground. The first part of this essay will survey Buchan’s trajectory as a writer of Empire, in fiction and journalism, and discuss two key Edwardian short stories, ‘The Kings of Orion’ (1906) and ‘The Grove of Ashtaroth’ (1910), to illustrate how Buchan used Imperial themes to advocate the benefits of colonial rule. An extended analysis of Buchan’s short story ‘A Lucid Interval’ (1910) and its publishing, political and social history forms the second part of the essay, since this story offers an unusual insight into the complexity of British imperial ideology in the early twentieth century. Buchan’s political narrative uses the then common assumption of racial superiority to engage with complex ideas about the ethics of state politics and the feudal relationships that Imperialism promoted. It is his only attempt to write from the perspective of a non-white character, deploying the Indian Ram Singh’s legitimate objections to make a party-political point against Liberalism in favour of Imperialist Conservatism. The story associates ‘civilisation’ with Imperial values, making anti- Imperialist thinking a form of anarchism. Its plot enacts anarchist views in the heart of the political establishment, to show their effect on the Imperial project as a whole. ‘A Lucid Interval’ is read as an investigation into the ethics of Imperial politics, and the essentially feudal basis for Imperial power relationships, today one of the principal objections to Imperialism as a system of governance. Buchan’s use of humour undercuts the extremes of ideological arrogance that he assigns to the politicians. They utter expressions of their own power and position without truly comprehending what they are saying.
