The present study is aimed at systematising traditional folk beliefs about the best-known mythological beings living in the woods, namely the n’ulesmurt (‘forest man’), palesmurt (lit: ‘half-man’), and obyda (‘forest woman’). The article provides a detailed description of the appearance of forest spirits, analyses their distinctive features and functions, and presents how beliefs about those mythological beings have evolved over the last centuries.

The Town

<p>Like many other Yoruba towns in the south-western Nigeria, Ila-Orangun which<br />is popularly referred to as the principal town of Igbominaland witnessed the<br />coming of Islam during a period when paganism had eaten deep into the<br />fabric of every sphere of life of the people. The uniqueness of Islam in the<br />town is that it has not been able to bring to an end the traditional belief<br />system of the people ever since its inception. This is probably because of the<br />status of the town as one of the towns founded by one of the sons of Oduduwa<br />from the great ancestral land, Ile-Ife. This paper therefore takes a look at the<br />inception of Islam in this ancient town to determine the extent of influence<br />of traditional belief system on the practice of Islam in it and the methods<br />adopted by the early Muslim clerics to penetrate the town with a view to<br />breaking the genes of darkness in the town. Attempts are also made to discuss<br />some latest developments on Islam in town, namely Imamship tussle and<br />other challenges facing the Muslim community there. The paper concludes by<br />identifying some steps necessary to be taken by the Muslim community in the<br />town for them to be able to place the religion on a better pedestal.</p><p>Seperti banyak kota-kota Yoruba lainnya di selatan-barat Nigeria, Ila-Orangun<br />yang populer disebut sebagai kota utama Igbominaland, menyaksikan<br />kedatangan Islam selama periode ketika paganisme telah mengakar jauh ke<br />dalam setiap bidang kehidupan masyarakat. Keunikan Islam di kota ini adalah<br />bahwa Islam belum mampu membawa pada berakhirnya sistem kepercayaan<br />tradisional masyarakat sejak awal. Ini mungkin karena status kota sebagai salah<br />satu kota yang didirikan oleh salah satu putra dari Oduduwa dari tanah leluhur<br />besar, Ile-Ife. Oleh karena itu tulisan ini berupaya melihat perkembangan awal<br />Islam di kota kuno ini untuk mengetahui sejauh mana pengaruh sistem<br />kepercayaan tradisional pada praktek Islam di dalamnya dan metode yang<br />diadopsi oleh para ulama Muslim awal untuk menembus kota dengan maksud<br />untuk menerobos kegelapan di kota ini. Paper juga berupaya untuk membahas<br />beberapa perkembangan terbaru tentang Islam di kota ini, yaitu soal ke-imaman<br />dan tantangan lain yang dihadapi masyarakat Muslim di sana. Makalah ini<br />menyimpulkan perlunya mengidentifikasi beberapa langkah yang diambil oleh<br />komunitas Muslim di kota ini agar mereka dapat menegakkan agama Islam<br />pada alas yang lebih baik.</p>

Abstract Asking first about how the lexical meaning manifests itself as we experience it in a communicative event, the author explores the background of the ways in which we are able to perceive the meaning of words in texts. One useful way of thinking about how recipients react to the words in utterances is in terms of behavioural and actional lexical meaning. The first refers to the understanding of meaning, the second corresponds to interpretations of words when the recipient does not succeed in the process of natural understanding of words. These terms lead to questions about the rationality of language. One aspect of this rationality is the function of the intentional­emergent mechanism that adjusts the interplay of automatic and deliberate use of language. This mechanism has its roots in the fundamental human nature: we are behavioural­actional beings. Pragmatic analysis sheds light on how hearers understand and interpret what they hear with regard to their conceptual knowledge associated with words.

During the Restoration and the Second Republic, up until the outbreak of the Civil War, the prison system that was developed in Spain had a markedly liberal character. This system had begun to acquire robustness and institutional credibility from the first dec- ade of the 20th Century onwards, reaching a peak in the early years of the government of the Second Republic. This process resulted in the establishment of a penitentiary sys- tem based on the widespread and predominant values of liberalism. That liberal belief system espoused the defence of social harmony, property and the individual, and penal practices were constructed on the basis of those principles. Subsequently, the Civil War and the accompanying militarist culture altered the prison system, transforming it into an instrument at the service of the conflict, thereby wiping out the liberal agenda that had been nurtured since the mid-19th Century.
