Old Polish Present Participle as a Predicative Attribute The author of the article shows that Old Polish (present) participles are transitional categories – they combine the syntactic features of an attribute and a predicate. She also tries to answer the question of how to recognize their nature. Is one of the functions dominant or are they equal? It is also important to reflect on how the choice of terminology used for syntactic description affects the way of perceiving and interpreting linguistic phenomena. The author considers the functionality of terms which already exist in the research tradition and are designed to name the double function of a participle. She also proposes the term: “predicative attribute” (in Polish: “predykatywny atrybut”) referring to the functional syntax of Stanisław Karolak. She shows that an entire separation, in a syntactic description, of the two syntactic functions performed by a participle, is ahistorical and incorrect as it suggests the existence of something which was unclear and only emerging.

Abstract The person-case constraint (PCC) is a family of restrictions on the relative person of the two objects of a ditransitive. PCC effects offer a testing ground for theories of the Agree operation and of syntactic features, both those on nominals and (of special interest here) those found on agreement probes. In this paper, I offer a new theory of PCC effects in an interaction/satisfaction theory of Agree (Deal 2015a) and show the advantages of this framework in capturing PCC typology. On this model, probes are specified for interaction features, determining which features will be copied to them, and satisfaction features, determining which features will cause probing to stop. Applied to PCC, this theory (i) captures all four types of PCC effect recognized by Nevins (2007) under a unified notion of Agree; (ii) captures the restriction of PCC effects to contexts of “Double Weakness” in many prominent examples, e.g. in Italian, Greek, and Basque, where PCC effects hold only in cases where both the direct and indirect object are expressed with clitics; (iii) naturally extends to PCC effects in syntactic environments without visible clitics or agreement for one or both objects, as well as the absence of PCC effects in some languages with clitics or agreement for both the direct and indirect object. Two refinements of the interaction/satisfaction theory are offered. The first is a new notation for probes’ interaction and satisfaction specifications, clarifying the absence from this theory of uninterpretable/unvalued features as drivers of Agree. The second is a proposal for the way that probes’ behavior may change over the course of a derivation, dubbed dynamic interaction.

The article analyzes Louis Adamic's early translation phase that included, apart from his translations from Slovenian, also Croatian literature. His translations had a double function: to help him improve his English and to promote him as a writer. He randomly chose some Croatian short stories which he partly translated and partly adapted. He also did his best to introduce the authors to the American readers. The stories were published in American magazines but Adamic's repeated effort to publish a book of Yugoslav translations sadly failed. In spite of this, he was an important groundbreaker in the field paving the way for other translators who followed in his wake.

If you look at the history of the Arabic language and writing, its role in human civilization, the way of its own development, and the lexical, morphological and syntactic features that are not encountered in any other language system are evident. This requires a separate approach to each process undergoing it. In particular, the study of the phenomenon of aromatic, paronimic, and variation in Arabic on general linguistic principles may not lead to the intended result.

In this article I wish to contribute to the analysis of prosody in poetry by looking at free or 'unmetred' verse. In particular I focus on the way in which the tools for analysing intonation may be used for analysing the performance of poetry in order to examine the way lineation is formed in unmetred verse. I look at the way tone-unit boundaries are often co-extensive with line endings in unmetred verse. The article follows work in this kind of analysis by Crystal (1975) and concentrates on the poem Briggflatts by Basil Bunting. Syntactic features such as ellipsis and pre- and post-modification effect the placement of tone-unit boundaries. Line endings may also be effected by the poet's use of marked emphases, and by the influence of other prosodies which a sophisticated poet may bring to bear on his material.

AbstractThis paper deals with the problem of how inherent verb meanings are to be assessed in a synchronic theory of verb valency, given that verbs usually occur in different syntactic patterns and display considerable semantic variation. Moreover, in a recent paper, Fischer (2003) claims that valency is essentially “indeterminate”, because the way verbs build up constructions is subject to various interpretations by different speakers. In the present paper, the variability problem is approached from the point of view of “functional syntax”, a non-generative and non-cognitive theory of grammar developed by Eugenio Coseriu. The paper focuses on the question whether indeterminacy not only holds for valency, but for verb meanings as well. The empirical account is based on a case study of a set of sentences in which the German verb

Abstract This study investigates the effect of schematic knowledge on the appropriateness and communicative acceptability of the translation rendered of four ambiguous contextless texts. The four texts (a road sign and three advertisements) were translated in two separate sessions by twenty-eight students pursuing a B.A. in English language and literature. In the first session, the students were provided with the texts decontextualized: while in the second they were provided with the same texts in the contexts they usually occur in. In the two sessions the students were asked to explain in a separate sheet why thev translated each text in the way they did. Two notions, closely related to the translating process, are discussed in the analysis of the translation provided. These notions are "reference" and "representation". The analysis has shown that the student translators resorted to referential strategies in the process of translating when they were aware of the relevant contextual dimensions of the target text. Their translations in this case retained the registral, rhetorical, and formal characteristics of the types of texts they translated. The analysis has also shown that when unaware of the pertinent contextual dimensions of the text, the student translators resorted to representational (introspective) strategies whereby contexts and world realities deriving from experiences and worlds other than those intended by the SL text producer were created, and the translations bore rhetorical, registral, and syntactic features relevant to the contexts and world realities the translators created.

Abstract The Present Perfect Progressive often expresses an activity reaching up to the present, as in He has been speaking for two hours. Here the subject is represented after part of the event, hence the impression of an unfinished activity. In some cases, however, the completed portion of the event represents almost the whole event, as we shall see with explicit examples. In other cases still, the Present Perfect Progressive expresess a just- finished event, where the subject is situated after the whole event’s duration. The aim of this article is to answer the following question: how can the Present Perfect Progressive express different moments of the event’s duration and so evoke different types of events? As we shall see, the answer lies in the way that events are expressed by the present participle.

The study of prejudice against gay people became an important field of sociopsychological research in the last few years. A substantial body of research attempted to examine the negative, homophobic attitudes against gay people as well as the various variables that seem to be associated with homophobia. Although this research tradition has made an important contribution to the study of the phenomenon at hand, more recent approaches based on the turn to language in social psychology have emphasized the dilemmatic opinions in the society. Thepresent article drawing on the research tradition of discourse analysis and ideological dilemmas, examines the way in which young people from a small town in North Greece construct homosexuality in discourse. Itis argued that often participants on the one hand used various strategies in order to disclaim prejudice against gay people, while on the other hand they mobilized discourses against certain gay rights. These dilemmas are scrutinized in relation to the way they are mobilized and also in relation to the ideologies they seem to draw upon.
