Folk Narratives

AbstractThe following essay aims at elaborating some aspects of the genre grammar of linguistic practices embodied in folk narratives. It starts from the idea that linguistic practices like narratives are controlled by a corresponding genre-knowledge just as it holds for most types of human actions in general. Individual linguistic practices are thus sequenced and arranged according to a corresponding knowledge frame that is related to the situationally activated genre. The term text is used to denote this sequence of situationally and interactionally coherent linguistic practices that are construed according to the grammar of a ‘genre in action’. A genre will be understood as a semiotic unit whose signifiant corresponds to a set of types of lexical and grammatical patterns ultimately represented by the micro-structure of the text. Its signifié will be interpreted as a text world model (TWM) that is internally invoked by the functionality, semantics, and quantification of the types of construction that occur in a text together with their syntax as well as by corresponding world knowledge. The essay first discusses some theoretical aspects of a genre-based approach to one kind of linguistic practices, namely narratives before turning to an illustration of the approach by referring to some selected aspects of two folk narratives, one taken from Grimms’ collection of folk narratives, the other stemming from the Udi community in the Eastern Caucasus (Northwestern Azerbaijan).

ABSTRACTFor Hooker's opponents, sacraments could only be human actions designed to further the homogeneity of that community of uniform spiritual achievement which is the holy congregation. Hooker, on the other hand, affirms the possibility of uneven, confused faith, even the confused ecclesial loyalties of the ‘church papist’, as something acceptable within the reformed congregation. This is entirely of a piece with the defence of a liturgy that is more than verbal instruction. Hooker traces these two issues to a Christology which is centred upon divine gift and ontological transformation, and a consequent sacramental theology which affirms the hiddenness but effectiveness of divine presence and work in the forms of our ritual action.

Linguistic Practices

Sometimes speakers within a linguistic community use a term that they do not conceptualize as a slur, but which other members of that community do. Sometimes these speakers are ignorant or naïve, but not always. This article explores a puzzle raised when some speakers stubbornly maintain that a contested term t is not derogatory. Because the semantic content of a term depends on the language, to say that their use of t is semantically derogatory despite their claims and intentions, we must individuate languages in a way that counts them as speaking our language L, assigns t a determinately derogatory content in L, and still accommodates the other features of slurs’ linguistic profile. Given the difficulty of doing this, there is some reason to give a non-semantic analysis of the derogatory aspect of slurs. The author suggests that rather than dismissing the stubborn as semantically incompetent, we would do better to appeal to expected uptake as moral reasons for the stubborn to adjust their linguistic practices.

One of the great difficulties in effecting a synthesis of experience is the contradiction of the apparently mechanical character of the physical universe on the one hand, and the sense of freedom we associate with life on the other. In our own persons, we are told by medical science, or some of it, we are governed by physiological laws which are mechanical, as distinct from vital, in their nature. The best reconciliation of these with freedom, in the writer's opinion, is the philosophy of Samuel Butler. In studying freedom as experienced by human beings Butler pointed out that a large number of practices which are apparently mechanical are really habits that have become stereotyped, and he drew attention to the fact that human actions can be classified as follows:—

Human Wildlife Conflict

This is a conceptual paper which analyses incidents of human-wildlife conflicts occurring in urban spaces. To assist in the choice of mitigation measures, the author proposes a categorization for the urban conflicts. The discussions and categorization are based on study of research papers, media reports, discussions with citizen and wildlife experts and the author’s own observations during the last 20 years of living in Pune city.The author proposes two categories of human-wildlife conflict. The first are ‘violent conflicts’ which are intended to prevent or remedy an animal intrusion. Such conflicts occur with animals such as leopards, snakes and monkeys which intrude into urban spaces. Violent conflicts are reported by media and studied by the research communities. The other category proposed is ‘silent conflicts’. These are conflicts arising inadvertently out of human actions, and with no intention to harm animals. Such conflicts go unnoticed and often happen due to ignorance of the possible aftermath.The author proposes different mitigation approaches to each of the categories, including the skills required in their implementation.

The Difference

Should the insane and the mentally ill be held morally responsible for their actions? To answer ‘No’ to this question is to classify the mentally abnormal as not fully human: and indeed legal tradition has generally oscillated between assimilating the insane to brutes and assimilating them to children below the age of discretion, neither of these two categories being accountable in law for what they do. In what respect relevant to moral responsibility were the insane held to resemble brutes and children? In the case of brutes, the answer seems to have been that the doings of the insane appeared to lack whatever it is that marks out human actions as distinctively human. What the insane did could not be thought of as issuing from deliberation, or as capable of having issued from deliberation, but seemed rather to be the result of the unbridled operation of nature — if a diseased nature. The natural comparison with insane killings seemed to be, for example, the killing of birds by cats. This distinction between animal doings and human actions does not depend on Cartesian views about the workings of animals; the operation of nature need not be thought of as mechanical. The thought is simply that where there is no room for deliberation there is no room for moral appraisal. Children, on the other hand, though capable of distinctively human action — i.e. of deliberating about what they do — were held not to be capable of the relevant kind of deliberation: for they were held ‘not to know the difference between right and wrong’.

First Case

A computational model for simulation of flame-cutting has been developed. Two different cutting conditions are compared with respect to the residual stresses. The first case is a plate cut at room temperature and the other is the cutting of a preheated plate. The model depends on measured micro-structure to estimate the required heat input. The model is verified by comparing the calculations for the preheated plate with experimentally obtained residual stresses. Lower residual stresses in the preheated plate prevents subsequent cracking.

scholarly journals “WORDS OF THE YEAR” IN UKRAINIAN STANDARD LANGUAGE AS REPRESENTATIVES OF CHANGES IN THE LINGUAL WORLD MODEL OF UKRAINIANS

The Common

The article attempts to identify changes that have occurred in the lingual world model of Ukrainians in recent years. The results of the “Word of the Year” contest in Ukraine served as the material for observation and analysis. Every year the online dictionary of neologisms and slang of the modern Ukrainian language “Myslovo” declares the “word of the year” – the most socially significant, popular and used word. Other nominees in the short list for the award are also important words to indicate current phenomena, events, concepts or persons. Usually, “modern” words fall into the nomination. Such lexemes are contemporary (reflect current events in the society), universal (formed by the new-fashioned trends), popular (are in the center of public thought and debate). Thus, in 2013 the “word of the year” became “Euromaidan”, in 2014 – “cyborgs”, in 2015 – “blockade”. In 2016, “corruption” became much more relevant, in 2017 the most popular was “bezviz” (visa-free regime), and in 2018 originally Greek word “tomos” became widely used. Therefore, the chosen “words of the year” (and nominees for this award) act as lexical representatives of those phenomena and events that are of the most concern for the society, and consequently have impact on the lingual world model of Ukrainians. The results of the Ukrainian competition were compared with the results of the similar contests in other countries, in particular, Belarus and Russia. Using comparative analysis, the common features of the Ukrainian and Belarussian lingual world models of XXI century were revealed as well as the opposite views of Ukrainians and Russians on important socio-political phenomena. For example, Belarusians use the loanword from Ukrainian “vyshyvanka” (‘colloquial name for the embroidered shirt in Ukrainian and Belarusian national costumes’) from which the derived word – neologism “vyshymaika” (‘colloquial name for the t-shirt that combines tradional embroidery with the modern design’) was formed. The imperial ambitions of Russians were verbalized in the politically motivated neologism-hashtag “#krymnash”(Crimea is ours), which became the “Word of the Year 2014” in Russia. Therefore, it can be claimed that the XXI century Ukrainian standart language is being enriched with new lexemes that are gradually being used by Ukrainians, becoming part of their lingual world model. These words may be partially (see “Euromaidan”, “bezviz”) or completely (see “tomos”) adopted from the other donor languages, but, as practice shows, they are being organically incorporated into the Ukrainian usus.

This article explains about the dilemma which will be faced by Indonesia when the the MutualRecognition Arrangement (MRA) is implemented in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)by the end of 2015. The data which will be used to describe the existing condition of the human resources competitiveness in Indonesia in this article is the secondary data, such as Human Development Index (HDI); World Knowledge Competitiveness Index (WKCI); Global KnowledgeCompetitiveness Index (GKCI); Global Talent Competitiveness Index (GTCI); Global InnovationIndex (GII); and The Networked Readiness Index. Where upon, these indices will be used asthe guidance to compare the human resources quality in Indonesia with Singapore, Malaysia,Thailand, and the other ASEAN countries.Based on the data analysis, these indices show thatIndonesian human resources are still far left behind in terms of competition with the other threeASEAN countries. It is feared that the weak competitiveness of human resources in Indonesiamay cause the infl ux of the foreign skilled workers in more signifi cant numberas a consequenceof the implementation of MRA.

The author analyzes a long and complex panegyric poem dedicated to Yoasaf Krokovskyi, a key figure in Ukrainian cultural life and Orthodox Church of the late 17th — early 18th centuries (he was elevated to the three prominent Orthodox ecclesiastical posts in the Hetmanate: rector of the Kyiv Mohyla Collegium, archimandrite of the Kyivan Cave Monastery, and metropolitan). The poem was written in 1699 when Krokovskyi held the post of the Kyivan Cave Monastery archimandrite. Since the main goal of poetry at the time was contributing to the education of pious men and loyal subjects, panegyric poetry was one of the principal genres of Mohylanian poetics. Indeed, the best way to achieve this goal was to represent exemplary human actions that would constitute models worthy of emulation. The didactic function of praise was all the more effective when the characters being praised were familiar to the students.  The analyzed poem is found in the 1699 manual of poetics “Hymettus extra Atticam”, whose author was Yosyf Turoboiskyi, a Mohylanian professor who steadily entered the history of Russian culture due to his celebratory works in honor of Peter I, while in Ukrainian literature he is almost unknown. The central theme of the analyzed poem, written on the occasion of Krokovskyi’s birthday, is a virtue of the addressee and wisdom that inspires him. These themes reveal, on one side, the author’s intention to insert the personality of archimandrite and future metropolitan into what N. Pylypiuk saw as a project, initiated in the 1690s, of portraying Mazepa and Yasynskyi with visual and textual means as protectors and benefactors of Wisdom’s abode, that is the Collegium and St. Sophia. On the other, they reflect the idea of wisdom as it was characterized by the Renaissance; it is mirrored in the Erasmian definition of wisdom as “virtus cum eruditione liberali conjuncta”. This fact, expanding the topic of epic poetry to all activities related to the intellect, reflects the Renaissance approach to the ‘heroicum carmen’ and testifies to the influence of Humanism and Renaissance on the Ukrainian literature.

Asking Questions

This article studies mobile social interactions and, in particular, the embeddedness of talking and walking, and their intertwined organizations. Within a conversation analytic and ethnomethodological perspective, and on the basis of a corpus of video recorded guided visits, the article shows the implications of asking questions in a mobile versus a stationary context: whereas the former are answered in a collective participation framework, the latter are given a more private, interpersonal answer. The article also analyses how speakers manage to transform an answer given on the move into a stationary one, radically modifying the participation framework characterizing the sequence. In this way, the analyses contribute to better understand the finely tuned coordination of human actions in mobile social contexts, and to show how walking and talking are reflexively organized, mutually shaping each other, one revealing what the other is performing and vice-versa.
