Soteriologie in der spätmittelalterlichen Theologie, hrsg. von David Oslzynski und Ulli Roth. Archa Verbi: Yearbook for the Study of Medieval Theology, Subsidia, 23. Münster: Aschendorff Verlag, 2023, VI, 290 S.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: November 2024

Soteriologie bedeutet, kurz gesagt, die Rede von der Erlösung, also von den letzten Dingen, und keine Theologie kommt ohne dies aus, ob nun im Christentum oder sogar im Buddhismus. Soteriologische Überlegungen prägen entscheidend die Lehren der Kirche, und daher ist es
ganz verständlich, dass sich eine Forschergruppe auf einer Tagung vom 17.-18.3.2022 an der Universität Koblenz-Landau diesem Thema speziell widmete, um anhand von einer Fülle von individuellen Textcorpora die verschiedenen theoretischen Positionen im Spätmittelalter zu
untersuchen. Die Herausgeber nehmen an, dass gerade jene Epoche bis heute noch nicht angemessen untersucht worden ist, besonders was die Soteriologie angehe, aber beide Behauptungen scheinen doch etwas überspitzt zu sein, gerade weil die Forschung in den letzten zwei bis drei Jahrzehnten
hier doch sehr viele Fortschritte gemacht hat (vgl. z.B. The Later Middle Ages, ed. Isabella Lazzarini, 2021). Von einer Verfallsepoche, vom Herbst oder dem Ausklang des Mittelalters zu reden, würde heute kaum noch jemandem einfallen. Viel interessanter wäre hingegen die Frage,
worin die Unterschiede zwischen der im 15. Jahrhundert gepflegten Soteriologie und derjenige im 16. Jahrhundert sich herausschälenden bestanden haben mögen (Protestantische Reformation). Da aber die Beiträger stets nur einzelne Persönlichkeiten und ihre Werke herausgreifen,
wird uns zwar ein bunter und vielsagender Reigen geboten, aber die historiographische und komparatistische Analyse bleibt eigentlich aus.

Der Titel mag für den heutigen Leser etwas seltsam klingen, sittliches Handeln, aber da es sich um einen Auszug aus Thomas’ von Aquin Summa theologiae handelt, braucht uns dies nicht zu überraschen, und für Mediävisten ist diese Ausdrucksweise sowieso
eher verständlich. In seiner 18. quaestio fragt Thomas nach dem Wesen des Gut- und Schlechtseins im menschlichen Handeln allgemein, in der 19. nach dem gleichen in des Menschen Willensakten. In der 20. widmet er sich dem gleichen in den äußeren Akten des Menschen, und
in der 21. geht es um die Konsequenzen des Gut- und Schlechtseins. Insgesamt also eine kompakte Behandlung eines zentralen Themas in der mittelalterlichen Theologie, das jedoch eigentlich auch für uns heute relevant sein sollte.
Marion Turner, The Wife of Bath: A Biography. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2023, xii, 324 pp., 14 color figures.
Authors: Abdelkarim Sherif
Published: November 2024

Professor Marion Turner’s sequel to her award-winning biography, Chaucer: A European Life (Princeton, 2019) revisits the fourteenth-century author’s life and times through an unexpected yet highly innovative lens: the life and times of his most famous creation, Alison,
the Wife of Bath. Turner’s inquiry proceeds from a simple question: how and why has this character remained so influential in the western cultural imagination down the centuries? At first glance, her marginal status as “the first ordinary woman in English literature” would
seem to contradict her high cultural value, were it not for the oceans of extraordinary experiences that come with such ordinariness (p. 2). Readers soon learn that in Chaucer’s Alison – a well-off, entrepreneurial yet working-class, sexually active woman – inheres myriad
expressions of the female and human self that countless artists and scholars have mined through the present day.
The Broadview Anthology of Medieval Arthurian Literature, ed. by Kathy Cawsey and Elizabeth Edwards. Peterborough, Ont.: broadview press, 2024, 506 pp., 1 b/w fig., 10 color plates.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: November 2024

Undoubtedly, the genres of Arthurian romances and verse narratives continue to appeal deeply to the current generation, and we can be certain that focusing on those texts in our seminars will help tremendously to attract enough students. Of course, heroic poetry, courtly love poetry,
the fabliaux or mæren also prove to be of timeless value. Kathy Cawsey and Elizabeth Edwards here present a hefty anthology of Arthurian texts in modern English translation, hence for English-speaking students. I can well imagine that this book could become very useful
for a course at the university level, with no other text editions/translations necessary.
Zrinka Stahuljak, Fixers: Agency, Translation, and the Early Global History of Literature. Chicago and London: The University of Chicago Press, 2024, xii, 345 pp., 13 b/w fig.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: November 2024

Stahuljak, who teaches comparative literature and French at UCLA, presents here a provocative and productive perspective toward how to identify global aspects already in the European Middle Ages. By way of translations, as she rightly assumes, ‘national’ boundaries were
crossed and narrative negotiations opened up. She reads this phenomenon, however, mostly from a western perspective and does not consider parallel cases in various parts of Asia or Africa. In particular, she considers mostly European, Christian writers who were pilgrims, missionaries, or merchants
and explored many new goals in the Middle and Far East during the Middle Ages. Those individuals she calls “fixers,” using a term coined by journalists in the last few decades primarily for local translators who helped the western military to reach out to the communities on the
ground in the various war zones. But such a “fixer” was really a very different person than a travelogue author who reported about his (sometimes also her) experiences in the foreign countries. Those, in turn, commonly relied on local translators because no one can learn all those
languages spoken all over the world, or acquire sufficient knowledge immediately to communicate with the people the authors encountered. Stahuljak kindly dedicates this book to her mother because “motherhood may be a fixer’s biggest job,” which clearly signals that the focus
here is supposed to rest on the negotiators, helpers, companions, intermediaries and not on the actual translators many of the pilgrimage authors, for example, refer to (Felix Fabri, above all). However, when we turn to the actual discussion, we mostly learn about those authors and their efforts
to cope in the foreign worlds. I find this a bit disjointed, if not confusing.

Authors: Breeze Andrew
Published: November 2024

Congratulations are due for this study of a supreme British wild-goose chase. It was the attempt by antiquarians including John Leland (d. 1552) and William Camden (d. 1623) to give King Arthur a local habitation (a quest active even now). Historical Celtic Philology being unknown to
Leland and Camden, Dr. Bateman thus describes rightly what they and others got wrong. She is the guide to three centuries of sprinting up blind allies and barking up wrong trees from Cornwall to Caithness.

Since the publication of Américo Castro’s España y su Historia: Cristianos, moros y judíos (Editorial Losado, 1948), Iberian and Spanish Studies have steadily diversified. Putting himself at the vanguard of the exploration of identities, Castro interpreted
convivencia narrowly. convivencia can now mean many things, variegated depending on the interests of its enthusiasts and detractors. Identity, as a way of thinking about and acting upon personhood and community, has broken its original bounds too. Depending on one’s inclinations,
the present collection, begotten from an October 2018 conference held at UCLA’s CMRS Center for Early Global Studies, Iberia, the Mediterranean, & the World in the Medieval & Early Modern Periods, may contribute productively to the growing array of identity-related studies
or it may too-loosely connect rather unrelated descriptions of human beings exploring who they are on a part of the European landmass over a great expanse of time.
Echoing Hooves: Studies on Horses and their Effects on Medieval Societies, ed. Anastasija Ropa and Timothy George Dawson. Explorations in Medieval Culture, 22. Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2022, 347 pp.
Authors: Arnett Carlee
Published: November 2024

This edited volume provides a collection of articles that focus on the close relationship between horses and humans in various ethnic, social, and professional communities. In contrast to other publications on horses in the Middle Ages that discuss one function of the horse, this volume
contains contributions from a number of disciplines to provide a more robust view of the role of the horse. A further innovation of this volume is the inclusion of articles that discuss various aspects of the horse in cultures outside of Europe, such as Cairo, Tangut (China) and Byzantium.

This richly photographic collection derived from an exhibition is divided into two parts, one a historical and museological overview of the liturgical collections of the old and new Mainz Cathedral treasury, and the other a catalogue of five art-historical eras within the collections,
namely the Middle Ages; Renaissance and Mannerism; Baroque; Classicism, Empire, and Historicism; and Modern and Contemporary. The usual end matter follows the catalogue. The foreword begins with a historical legitimation of a gratuitous rhetorical question (“Hat “die”
Kirche aktuell keine anderen Sorgen?”) – collections of liturgical objects and art move through not only time and space, but also political organization and identity formation for both local populations and the various intersecting diocesan entities in which they find themselves
– as well as a material legitimation of ecclesiastical form necessary in both ecclesiastical decoration and liturgical celebration. Concentrating on the older stages and history of the collection(s), the following review will overlook the post-medieval material.

Dass religiöse Vorstellungen ganz wesentliche Auswirkungen auf die geographischen Vorstellungen der mittelalterlichen Kartographen hatten, ist ein offensichtliches, aber nur selten im Detail diskutiertes und in einer vergleichenden Perspektive aufgegriffenes Thema. Dieser englischsprachige
Sammelband zielt nun genau auf diese Lücke, indem er vor allem Lateineuropa und den Dar al-Islam in einen Dialog bringt. In seiner Einführung unterstreicht Christoph Mauntel die Neuartigkeit dieses Zugangs auf den eben benannten Ebenen und bietet zugleich einen Überblick zur
derzeitigen Forschungslage. Durch die Reflexion sogar der Terminologie wird diese Einleitung auch künftigen Vergleichen sehr hilfreich sein. Dieser Tagungsband – die Anthologie geht auf eine Tübinger Tagung aus dem April 2019 zurück – wird damit auf mehreren Ebenen
methodisch und inhaltlich die weitere Forschung beflügeln können.
Jennifer M. Rampling, The Experimental Fire: Inventing English Alchemy, 1300–1700, Synthesis series, paperback (2020; paperback ed., Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 2023), xvii, 408 pp., 16 halftone figures
Authors: Willard Thomas
Published: November 2024

In the brief but essential preface to The Experimental Fire, Jennifer Rampling poses a question that she intends to answer in different ways for different English alchemists she considers: “how, exactly, did book learning interact with practical experience?” (4).
Related to this are two large questions. First of all, how did English alchemists think of themselves in relation to predecessors going back at least a millennium and to texts in Greek and Arabic that were only translated into Latin in and after the twelfth century? Were the English practitioners
restoring the operations claimed by authors since at least Zosimos in the early fourth century C.E. Were they reinterpreting the texts for their time? Or were they doing both? Second, and just as important, how does anyone go about reading an alchemical text?

In der Weltchronik des Jans der Enkel (oder Jans‘ von Wien) findet sich, recht unvermutet, das Versmære Friedrich von Auchefurt, wo die weibliche Protagonistin am Ende dazu gezwungen ist, in der kirchlichen Öffentlichkeit, also direkt am Altar, das blutdurchtränkte
Hemd eines Ritters (Friedrich) zu tragen als Zeichen ihrer Beschämung. Er hatte sie lange um ihre Liebe bedrängt, die sie konsistent ablehnte, bis sie ihm am Ende eine Bedingung stellte, unbewaffnet an einem Turnier-Jost teilzunehmen. Friedrich akzeptierte dies und wäre fast
darüber gestorben, aber als er schließlich feststellte, wie konsistent sie ihre Ehre verteidigt und sogar die peinliche Handlung durchführt, entlässt er sie aus ihrer Schuld und flieht. Das blutige Hemd bleibt das zentrale Motiv in dieser Verserzählung und spricht
eine eigene Sprache. Leider hat Nina Röttger in ihrer umfangreichen Bonner Dissertation von 2022 diesen wichtigen Text nicht berücksichtigt, verfolgt aber ein spannendes und sicherlich wichtiges Thema, wie es in den bedeutenderen mhd. Werken auftaucht.

Visible English provides a sweeping introduction to the status, transmission, and pedagogy of visible language (opposite spoken and heard language, a dichotomy distinct in some ways and identical in others to the oral-literate paradigm) in premodern English. The book also intervenes
in discussions of language and identity formation in a novel way by building on the practice and reception of littera theory and pedagogy, the tradition of reading and writing by breaking language into its constituents.

Charlene M. Eska, Lost and Found in Early Irish Law: Aidbred, Heptad 64, and Muirbretha. Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2022, xix, 444 pp.
Authors: Sayers William
Published: November 2024

Early Ireland offers the most substantial body of jurisprudence in a western European medieval vernacular before the twelfth century, yet only a handful of scholars has the competence required to address this challenging corpus of legal evidence in editions, translation, and analysis.
Irish law was first codified in the seventh to eighth centuries. Individual legal propositions are succinct, often elliptical, and have stylistic features associated with oral tradition and memorability. Their often monolithic, propositional character lends a desirable gravitas, the
law thus appearing irrevocably right and just. Over the succeeding centuries, indeed, up to the mid-seventeenth century, a vast body of written commentary was elaborated and attached to individual legal maxims, sometimes subtly adapting them to new social and economic circumstances, sometimes
apparently misinterpreting their terse and closed nature. At times the original legal proclamation has even gone missing in the written tradition.
Invitation to Syriac Christianity. An Anthology, ed. Michael Philip Penn, Scott Fitzgerald Johnson, Christine Shepardson, and Charles M. Stang. Oakland, CA: University of California Press, 2022, xxviii, 431 pp.
Authors: Jakob Joachim
Published: November 2024

The fact that Christianity during late antiquity and the Middle Ages cannot be observed from a Western perspective alone is increasingly recognized in current research. The volume under review makes an important contribution to this change of perspective since it offers insights into
the literary production of one of the oldest Christian traditions that has been often overlooked in Western historiography. The churches of the Syriac traditions constituted an important branch of Christianity besides the commonly more well-known Latin and Greek traditions. During the medieval
period, Syriac Christians were not only present in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East but also in India and along the routes of the Silk Road extending as far as China. For the first time, this volume, edited by four experts in the field of Syriac Studies, provides a collection
of excerpts from the whole range of Syriac literature in English translation which is easily accessible, thus creating a highly valuable sourcebook for the study of Syriac Christianity.

Authors: Rouillard Linda Marie
Published: November 2024

One of the themes of Érec et Énide is that of womans excessive speech, a traditional misogynist trope. Here, Enides refusal to keep quiet is the disobedience that protects the authoritarian Érec from outside dangers, and from his own pride. Chrétien
countered misogamist tropes as well, presenting a counterargument to the troubadour/trouvère vision of love existing only outside of marriage: love here grows inside marriage and survives authoritarian commands and willful disobedience; threats and dangers; pride and fear. In this romance,
married, consensual love rather than political unions assures noble lineage and alliances.

Authors: Bruce Scott G.
Published: November 2024

The book under review provides the first comprehensive introduction in English to the history of the abbey of Holy Trinity, Cava. Founded in the countryside northwest of Salerno around 1020, the community grew from modest beginnings to become one of the most influential religious houses
in southern Italy, thanks in no small part to the patronage of the Norman aristocracy, who conquered the region in the 1070s. A century later, Cava boasted over 100 dependencies, including a congregation of twenty-one monasteries. Its dominance in the region endured until the fourteenth century,
when it was second only to Montecasino in terms of wealth and resources. The archival sources preserved in situ at the abbey are exceptionally rich, including over 15,000 original Latin charters that record donations, purchases, wills, leases, and legal cases. The study concludes in
1300, when the deposition of Abbot Rinaldo by Pope Boniface VIII heralded a new era of external control and subsequent decline.
TOURISTS’ MOTIVATIONS FOR VISITING DARK SKY SITES: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY IN CHINA
Authors: Zhang Yunzhen , Cui Lingshu
Published: November 2024

Dark sky tourism as a form of niche tourism is gaining popularity worldwide. However, empirical research examining what motivates tourists to seek out this type of experience is lacking. This research note contributes to bridging this knowledge gap by employing push-pull theory to explore tourists’ motivations for visiting dark sky sites. Adopting a qualitative netnographic approach, Chinese tourists’ perspectives were explored through twenty-two semi-structured interviews. Eleven thematic factors were extracted and mapped within a refined push and pull motivation framework. The findings show how push and pull factors motivate both first-time and repeat visitors to gain dark sky experiences.
Usawiri wa Wahusika wa Kiume katika Riwaya ya Harusi ya Wendawazimu

Wahusika ni kipengele muhimu katika kazi yoyote ya fasihi kwani ni viumbe ambao hubeba maudhui katika kazi ya fasihi. Pia husheheni sifa za wahusika katika ulimwengu wa kihalisia na kiuhalisia ajabu. Wanaweza kuwa wahusika binadamu au viumbe visivyo kuwa na uhai. Wahusika hawa huwa na sifa za kimaadili, kitabia, kiitikadi na kifalsafa ambazo hutambulishwa na wanayoyasema au wanayoyatenda. Mwandishi ana uhuru wa kusawiri wahusika wake kutegemea vigezo mbalimbali. Tafiti nyingi katika fasihi ya Kiswahili huchanganua usawiri wa mhusika wa kike katika jamii. Hii ni kwa sababu kumekuwa na mijadala mingi kuhusu nafasi ya mwanamke katika jamii yanayohusiana na kumkomboa mwanamke katika mikatale inayomtinga kuendelea katika maisha yake ya kila siku. Hali hii imechangia wahakiki kuhakiki usawiri wao katika kazi za fasihi. Ni muhimu kutaja kuwa mhusika wa kiume kama vile wa kike ana mchango wake katika fasihi ya Kiswahili. Kwa hivyo pana haja ya kutambua usawiri wake katika kazi za fasihi. Kwa hivyo makala hii inajadili namna wahusika wa kiume wanavyosawiriwa na mwandishi na wahusika wa kike katika riwaya ya Harusi ya Wendawazimu (Thomas Kamugisha), kwa kuzingatia athari ya utandawazi na itikadi za jamii

Suala la jinsia limekuwa mojawapo ya masuala yaliyopewa kipaumbele na yanayotafitiwa katika taaluma mbalimbali zinazohusu maisha ya mwanadamu. Majukumu ya jinsia ya kike na kiume ni mambo ambayo yamezua mijadala tofauti miongoni mwa watu wa jamii mbalimbali. Wasomi wengi kuhusiana na masuala ya kijinsia wamekuwa wakiegemea mkabala wa kifeministi. Mkabala huu haujaweza kuangazia vile jinsia ya kiume hukandamiza jinsia iyo hiyo kwa sababu ya udhaifu kiuwezo au  kimwili  au  kimawazo. Hivyo basi, suala la ubabedume kuwepo miongoni mwa wanajamii na hasa katika kazi za fasihi halijapambanuliwa kwa mapana na marefu kama inavyojitokeza katika jamii ya sasa.  Ubabedume huhalalisha uwezo wa wanaume dhidi ya wanawake katika jamii. Fauka ya hayo, ikumbukwe kuwa uwezo wa jinsia ya kiume hutumiwa kudhalilisha wale wengine wa jinsia iyo hiyo wenye udhaifu katika maumbile na utenda kazi wao. Tasnifu hii ya utafiti imeangazia uchanganuzi wa wahusika teule kwa misingi ya kibabedume katika riwaya mbili za Ben Mtobwa, Dar-es-Salaam Usiku na Pesa Zako Zinanuka. Madhumuni ya utafiti huu yalikuwa kusawiri sura mbalimbali za ubabedume zinazojitokeza katika jamii za riwaya hizo. Nadharia iliyoongoza utafiti huu ni ya Ubabedume. Nadharia hii huhalalisha uwezo wa wanaume dhidi ya wanawake au wanaume wengine katika jamii. Mwasisi wa nadharia hii ni Raewyn Connell wa Australia. Mihimili ya nadharia hii ni kama vile itikadi za jamii, uwezo, utamaduni, mgawanyo wa majukumu kiuana na sifa angama za uwezo kiume. Mihimili ya nadharia hii ilitumiwa na mtafiti kuelezea upeo na mipaka katika utafiti huu. Fauka ya hayo, ilisaidia katika uchanganuzi wa data. Muundo wa utafiti ulikuwa wa kimaelezo. Utafiti ulifanyika maktabani. Data katika utafiti huu ilikuwa ni kusoma vitabu viwili husika na kudondoa masuala muhimu ya ubabedume. Pia makala na majarida yaliyohusiana na suala la ubabedume katika kazi za fasihi yalisomwa. Utafiti ulifanywa kwa kuzingatia mihimili ya nadharia na pia kuzingatia madhumuni ya utafiti. Pia uchanganuzi ulifanywa kwa kuzingatia nadharia ya ubabedume. Utafiti huu, unatarajiwa kuwanufaisha wasomi wa lugha, itikadi, uwezo na watetezi wa usawa wa kijinsia katika fasihi

Authors: Yuliantina Nila , Mulyana Andy , Wildayana Elisa , Lionardo Andries
Published: November 2024

Agricultural land conversion has the potential to have complex economic impacts on communities and related sectors. This change can alter income patterns and cause a decrease in welfare for farmers and business actors related to agriculture. This study aims to analyze the economic impact of land conversion on rice farmers in lebak rice fields in Palembang City. The research location was purposively chosen, by taking a sample of 250 respondents who were divided into two, namely farmers who changed land use and those who did not change land use. Economic impact analysis is looking at farmers' income before and after land conversion in the last 5 years interval, 2019-2023. The results showed that there was a difference in farmers' rice farming income before and after land conversion obtaining a tcount value of -5,450, significant at the 0.01 confidence level (0.000 <0.01). The economic impact of land conversion on rice farmers is in the form of a decrease in rice farming income.

Published: November 2024

This paper reports on the TeamTra – Teaming in Translation project, conceived in response to calls for improved training of both professional interpreters and healthcare providers. TeamTra is a cooperation among the Medical Faculty, the University Hospital, the Institute for Applied Linguistics and Translation Studies (IALT), and the Oriental Institute (OIL) at Leipzig University. The program is aimed at medical, midwifery, and interpreting students and draws upon interprofessional and simulation education models to provide students with a hands-on experience for different professions using simulated patient-physician/midwife encounters in maternal health. Special attention is devoted to cultural differences, varying degrees of health literacy and challenges of triadic communication. The course was carried out for approximately 80 students in the 2022/2023 winter semester and in the 2023 summer semester. This paper reports on the first year of the project, which included a pre-kick-off survey, a satisfaction survey, and feedback sessions.
Languages of lesser diffusion and French public service interpreting: a matter of terminology and strategy
Authors: Navarro Elisabeth
Published: November 2024

Since the 1970s in France, public service interpreting has become a major branch of the professional translating sector. Today, the non-profit organizations that provide interpreting services are now able to provide interpreters in nearly all the languages spoken by new immigrants, languages that often have unexpected shifts and changes as a result of geopolitical changes.
However, despite the resources that have been provided and an outstanding ability to adapt, the market for translating and interpreting in the context of migration is under constant linguistic pressure, which in part determines the status of these associations in the market. This has consequently led to new challenges for everyone involved in the sector, both for interpreting organizations and for the institutions that benefit from their services. Managing the language portfolio has therefore become a crucial issue, requiring a variety of short-, medium- and long-term strategies.
After briefly outlining the history of the emergence of community interpreting in France and the issues involved, we will look at the designation of ‘rare’ languages or languages of lesser diffusion in the context of the language market for interpreting and translating. We will then consider the strategies currently  implemented to meet demands for rare or even very rare languages. We will finally investigate new opportunities for developing and/or rapidly creating a pool of interpreters.

Neighborhood frequency effects in simple and complex span: Do high-frequency neighbors help or hurt?
Authors: MacMillan Molly B. , Neath Ian , Roodenrys Steven
Published: November 2024

A word's orthographic neighborhood is the set of words that differ from the target word by one letter. Both Roodenrys (2009) and Robert et al. (Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 44, 119-125, 2015) posit that orthographic neighbors are activated when the target word is encountered in tasks such as simple and complex span. The two accounts differ in that the former predicts a beneficial effect of this activation, because it produces feedback activation that helps redintegrate the target word, whereas the latter predicts a detrimental effect, because the need to overcome the greater interference from the larger number of higher-frequency items reduces the processing resources available. Four experiments assess the predictions of these two accounts. Experiments 1 and 2 found a beneficial effect of having a higher- compared with a lower-frequency neighborhood in both a simple and a complex span task. Experiments 3 and 4 found no detrimental effect of having one or more neighbors with higher frequency than the target in both a simple and complex span task. Implications for the two theories are discussed.
Investigation of a bimetallic terbium(III)/copper(II) chemosensor for the detection of aqueous hydrogen sulfide
Authors: Mini Parvathy , Grace Michael R , Dennison Genevieve H , Tuck Kellie L
Published: November 2024

The chemosensor properties of a bimetallic terbium(III)/copper(II) complex functionalized with a 4-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,3-triazole ligand for the detection of Cu2+ ions and, aqueous and gaseous hydrogen sulfide was investigated. The 4-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,3-triazole ligand functions both as an antenna chromophore and a receptor for Cu2+ ions; the Cu2+ complex was shown to be a chemosensor for the detection of aqueous hydrogen sulfide. The chemosensor exhibited significant reversibility over multiple cycles, observed with the sequential addition of Na2S followed by Cu2+ ions. The limit of detection for aqueous hydrogen sulfide was 0.63 μM (20 ppb). No luminescent changes of the bimetallic terbium(III)/copper(II) complex were observed in the presence of gaseous hydrogen sulfide, and thus this sensor can only be used for the detection of aqueous hydrogen sulfide.

TECHNOLINGUALISM AND MULTILINGUALISM ON THE WEB 3.0: UBEK ET RICA BLOG
Authors: WALIYA Yohanna Joseph
Published: November 2024

The democratisation of the Internet has given rise to a digital society, the most influential, smart, and cumbersome in the history of humanity. English, the most used language on the Internet, accounts for 49.7% of the linguistic content across all digital platforms. The dominance of English has posed a linguistic challenge to Francophone, Hispanophone, Russophone, Lusophone, Sinophone, Arabophone, and many other linguistic communities for several decades. English continuously enriches itself with emerging technological buzzwords thanks to linguistic content disseminated on websites and digital social network applications such as ChatGPT, Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, etc. This research focuses on the sociolinguistic competition between English and French in the virtual world, analysing code-switching (English and French) on the French weblog Usbek et Rica, which adopts this style to convey information to its Francophone audience. Can it be said that this illustrates the linguistic homogenisation of English as the language of the Internet to the detriment of other languages, such as French? This article aims to answer this question by examining articles published on usbeketrica.com from 2016 to 2020, using these publications as a data corpus. It also critiques the programming languages of the blog in comparison with natural languages in society, applying the Marie-Anne Paveau’s ecological linguistic approach, which stipulates that all linguistic and extra-linguistic signs produce symmetrical meanings in the digital ecosystem. The findings show that the impact of English on French, in terms of technological language, is increasingly evident on the blog.
THE VIEWS OF SCHOLAR MAXIMILIAN LAMBERTZ ON LANGUAGE,
FOLKLORE AND LITERATURE
Authors: KASTRATI Nexhmije , MORINA-BYTYÇI Shyhrete
Published: November 2024

The aim of this work is to present the scientific contribution of the Austrian-German researcher Maximilian Lambertz to the field of Albanology and its culture in general. His scholarly perspectives are broad and multifaceted, highlighting the Albanian language and oral literature as crucial subjects of study, particularly in relation to Balkan cultures and the role of the Albanian language within the larger Indo-European language group. In addition to his studies of the languages and cultures of Europe, Lambertz's research included the study of Albanian culture, language, literature and religious beliefs, which had been relatively unknown to scholars. His sensitive treatment of such creations made them important not only for the field of Albanology but also for broader scientific contexts. Therefore, our paper analyses Lambertz's monographs and other writings dealing specifically with linguistic and literary issues, starting with his well-known monograph "Midis Drinit dhe Vjosë" (Between the Drin and Vjosa) and another equally important study,"Posta e Shypnisë" (The Post of Albania). These works represent the foundations of the cultural internationalization of Albanian language and literature, as many of his articles were published in the prestigious German-language journals of the time. Against this background, it is no coincidence that Lambertz's studies, although his first contact with the Albanian language and oral literature was accidental, are still relevant today among young researchers. This is because no one else, like him, has clarified and scientifically established the meaning of these literary works, making them significant not only within Albanian-speaking cultural circles but also beyond.
SYMBOLISM IN “A CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON” (1922)
BY F. SCOTT FITZGERALD
Authors: RAMADANI Fatmir , SALLAUKA Ardian
Published: November 2024

This paper analyzes the use of symbolism in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (1922), focusing on its employment of allegory, archetypes, and symbols. The study seeks to throw further light on the manner in which Fitzgerald uses literary symbolism as a means to explore the modernist consciousness of the protagonist, Benjamin Button, who serves as an archetype for the alienation experienced by modern man in the Jazz Age. By examining both personal and conventional symbols, the paper not only reveals how the protagonist embodies the tensions of his era, but also highlights how he exemplifies the human representatives of the period. Special attention is given to several underexplored symbols within the story, including: Benjamin's dress suit, the cigars he smokes as an infant, his hair dye, fake whiskers, and the colored paper in kindergarten. These symbols illustrate Fitzgerald's craftsmanship in conveying complex themes such as identity, aging, and societal expectations. Through the juxtaposition of these symbols with Benjamin's unusual aging process, the paper argues that the protagonist becomes a symbolic figure for the disorientation and alienation experienced by individuals in the modernist era. Ultimately, the research provides fresh insights into how Fitzgerald’s symbolism deepens the narrative’s engagement with modernist themes, offering a richer understanding of both the text and its cultural significance.
REMARKS ON THE CONTEMPORARY VISIBILITY OF BULGARIAN LITERATURE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
Authors: HOYTE-WEST Antony
Published: November 2024

This article provides a summary of the current status of Bulgarian literature in the United Kingdom through the prism of works featured in four of the main British literary translation prizes: the International Booker Prize, the Oxford-Weidenfeld Prize, the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation, and the EBRD Literature Prize. Initially, after a brief overview of perspectives on literary translation in United Kingdom, the four prizes are contextualised within wider developments. Using available online data from the websites of each award, the prize-winners, shortlists, and longlists are examined to determine if literary works translated from Bulgarian are present, with the finding that very few have featured to date. However, with the award of the 2023 International Booker Prize to Georgi Gospodinov’s novel Time Shelter, translated into English by Angela Rodel, selected media and popular responses to this news are also briefly presented, as is the immediate impact of Time Shelter’s victory on the profile of translated Bulgarian literature in the United Kingdom. In identifying nascent but growing interest from publishers and readers in English translations of Bulgarian literary works, the article acknowledges existing initiatives to promote Bulgarian-English literary translation. It also provides some suggestions on how to capitalise on this newfound visibility in the British context.
SEMANTICS AND MEANING OF TERMS WITH THE COMPONENT ’RED’
Authors: STOYKOVA Velislava
Published: November 2024

The article provides an analysis of the results of a study on the semantics and meanings of terms with the component red in modern Bulgarian. The language material on which basis the study was carried out is an electronic corpus of Bulgarian language texts compiled from publicly available internet sources. Statistical approaches to search for concordances and collocations available through the Sketch Engine lexicographic software were used to discover the terms in the corpus, and the order in the search procedures (algorithm) was previously tested in other cited studies. The theoretical approach of the study involves tracing the semantics and meanings of terms for the color red and terms with the component red using both traditional approaches such as the theory of nomination (by detection of the main semantic component), and modern theories, such as the theory of prototypes (by evaluation of color’s prototypes) in the analysis of the semantics of these terms. Results and examples of high-frequency contextual corpus usages of red are provided to analyze the terms’ semantics and meanings both as a color term and terms with other (non-color) meanings (prototypes and terms of the basic features of the prototypes), and related conclusions on semantics and meanings of these terms are provided. The color component of the terms at issue is interpreted in the context of a broader understanding of color (such as macro-color), in its transition to other colors, and it is also noted that those terms relate to similar terms with a color component, for example white, establishing a semantic relation through the macro-color component.
