Tras Nicólaos Sofianos en el siglo XVI, Dimitrios Catardsís fue el primer intelectual griego moderno en emplear la lengua vernácula neogriega con fines educativos y culturales. Entre 1783 y 1789 escribio en romaico una serie de ensayos y disertaciones que impulsaron una autentica reforma enciclopedista y vernacularista de la paideia greco-ortodoxa en la Rumelia otomana. Este corpus textual constituye el testimonio escrito mas preciso de esta lengua hablada en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII con epicentro en Constantinopla. El presente volumen ofrece un estudio riguroso del proyecto educativo y linguistico de Catardsis, cuyo legado resulta esencial para comprender el desarrollo del neogriego vernaculo y su cultura antes de las ideologias de depuracion y arcaizacion linguisticas que desembocaron en la diglosia del Reino de Grecia.

Pensar el sentido del lenguaje, vislumbrar el espacio entre lo que se dice y lo que es, explorar desde la palabra el significado de la palabra: esto es Lengua madre. Un libro que reflexiona de forma caleidoscopica sobre la lengua que nos determina y atraviesa, que se transforma desde las diversas geografias porque hablamos desde distintos lugares, no solo geograficos, sino del cuerpo. Escuchar la lengua materna y no entenderla. Escuchar a Hannah Arendt hablar sobre el entender. Conversar con un joven con autismo. Y despues encontrar definiciones de diccionario vueltas adivinanzas; el son jarocho y los versos de la Odisea; la ortografia del danes. A traves de estos fragmentos que conforman el cuerpo del libro, la escritura de Lopez Mller piensa tambien desde los silencios del lenguaje, desde sus paradojas, hilando una narrativa que dilucida sobre el entendimiento y el ser.

"Framing Human Experience: Language, Culture, and Affect" offers an interdisciplinary exploration into the multifaceted ways human realities are constructed, perceived, and navigated through linguistic structures, cultural frameworks, and affective responses. This volume brings together scholars from diverse fields to investigate how experiences, ranging from the intimate sense of home to societal phenomena like violence and disinformation, are articulated and understood across various contexts. By integrating these diverse analytical perspectives and case studies spanning multiple languages and historical periods, the volume illuminates the intricate, dynamic interplay between our linguistic tools, cultural inheritances, and affective lives. It offers valuable insights for scholars and students interested in how meaning of human experience is made, contested, and experienced in a complex world.

This volume is a response to the criticism that scholars create "bricks" of knowledge without integrating them into a coherent whole. The twelve bricks that make up this volume form a solid edifice of innovative views on literature and language based on the idea of engagement. The first part focuses on literature and its ability to engage and express the engagement of the individual. The reader will find here a reflection on the relationship between man and God, the impossibility of cognition through symbols, and the multitude of "thoughts" expressed through language. In the second part, the key idea assumes a different dimension, as the analyses engage in defining socially relevant concepts of justice, rationality, power and freedom, and cases of social life where the involvement of creators of culture is indispensable. The third part illustrates the engagement of linguistics in the description of the reality constantly created by language. These varied perspectives allow for the diversity and multidimensionality of engagement to be revealed.

How do people talk about words? This work explores naming constructions such as This formation is called a "coral reef" that are used to introduce lexicalized concepts like coral reef through metalinguistic reference. Drawing on the theoretical foundations in philosophy of language as well as recent work in semantics and pragmatics, experimental evidence from corpus analyses and psycholinguistic experiments-including self-paced reading and eye-tracking data-uncover the linguistic and cognitive processes behind these naming constructions. Special attention is given to the use and processing of quotational constructions during reading. Bridging (psycho)linguistics and philosophy of language, this interdisciplinary work offers new insights into how people use quotational constructions to talk about language, and how readers interpret and process naming constructions with and without quotation marks.

Romano Lavo-Lil; or, the Word-Book of the Romany condenses Borrows lifetime with English Romany into a lively lexicon that mixes glossary entries with brief etymologies, idioms, and scenes from fairs and encampments. Colloquial yet erudite, it distinguishes Romany from English cant, notes pronunciation and grammar, and relates Sanskritic and European cognates. Its hybrid of word-book and ethnographic vignette sits squarely within Victorian comparative philology and folklore. Born in Norfolk in 1803, George Borrow learned Romany among itinerant families and, as an agent of the British and Foreign Bible Society, honed his ear across Europe. The Zincali, Lavengro, and The Romany Rye trace those encounters. His field intimacy and hostility to armchair scholars led him to preserve vocabulary, correct confusions with thieves cant, and memorialize a speech community under pressure. Recommended to scholars of Romani studies, historical linguistics, and Victorian literature, Romano Lavo-Lil remains a primary source of lexicon in use. Allowing for period orthography and bias, readers will find a portable, engaging reference whose anecdotes and examples illuminate language, identity, and contact in nineteenth-century Britain.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
