Iverson, Jennifer. 2018. Electronic Inspirations: Technologies of the Cold-War Musical Avant Garde. New York: Oxford University Press.

Jennifer Iverson’s Electronic Inspirations explores the history of electronic music in the studio of Cologne’s westdeutcher Rundfunk (WDR) in the immediate post-war era, during which elektronische Musik developed as an admixture of music, science, and technology. Iverson shows how elektronische Musik inhabited a particular social milieu, including figures like impresario Herbert Eimert, ex-Nazi scientist Walter Meyer-Eppler, and firebrand composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage and David Tudor. As Iverson argues, closely following these actors through the WDR studio illustrates what elektronische Musik meant in cold war Germany: a promise of a better future through what she calls a “reclamation” (2) of the past, achieved through collaborative work between scientists, technicians, musicians, and performers. Through thorough analyses of numerous works produced in the studio, Iverson concludes that these reclamations were ultimately “attempted, incomplete, [and] tenuous”: they failed in achieving their ostensible goal, a “timbral utopia” inhabited by enlightened composers (29). Instead, these reclamations produced what Iverson calls “invisible collaborations,” obscuring the distribution of authorial agency, aesthetic possibilities, and ideological meanings created at the WDR and instead reproducing heroic narratives of “remasculinization” and German musical hegemony (18). Electronic Inspirations illuminates those invisible collaborations through rich and detailed analyses of archival recordings, sketches, concert programs, and planning documents that show exactly how science and technology contributed to the creation of elektronische Musik at the WDR

The historical doctionary of modern greek: dialectological issues

El propósito principal de este artículo es ofrecer una presentación general del “Diccionario Histórico del Griego Moderno” (ILNE): sus objetivos, su historia y sus innovaciones recientes, dedicando una especial atención a los problemas específicos derivados de la actualización de su corpus y de la metodología. Se hace hincapié en la cuestión de la lengua de origen, la cual, a diferencia de la mayoría de proyectos internacionales de diccionarios históricos, no sólo es la lengua estándar moderna, sino también la dialectal. Se discute ampliamente y con detalle sobre la necesidad de incluir datos dialectales en un diccionario histórico de la lengua estándar, aunque otros problemas relacionados con el tratamiento de los datos dialectales, como las citas y la transcripción fonética, también están considerados.This paper aims to give a general presentation of the Historical! Dictionary! of! Modern! Greek (ILNE): aims, history, and recent innovations, with focus on specific problems deriving from the updating of its corpus and methodology. Emphasis is given to the issue of the source language, which, in contrast to most historical dictionary projects world-wide, is not only the modern standard language but also the dialects. The necessity of inclusion of dialectal data in a historical dictionary of the standard language is discussed and illustrated at length, while other issues involving the treatment of dialectal data, such as dating and phonetic transcription, are also touched upon

The use of Turkic loanwords in the Russian language

The subject of the research is loanwords form Turkic languages in the Russian language. The basic rules for the development of the language, its connections with the history of society in different periods are clearly manifested precisely in the vocabulary. Loanwords from Turkic languages were borrowed through oral speech. This led to the emergence of various options for borrowing. The article describes the internal rules for the development of Turkic loanwords, reflected in their composition, functioning, semantics, and phonetics. The borrowing of loanwords, in particular, from the Turkic languages, is determined mainly by the needs of semantic differentiation. Turkic loanwords, as well as Western European loanwords, changed in semantics and went beyond the original sphere of functioning. In the process of development, Turkic vocabulary adjusts to the phonetic, morphological and semantic norms of the Russian language by changing their phonetic composition and semantics. Turkic loanwords are mostly monosemantic words that filled in the gaps in the system of nomination. Therefore, Turkic vocabulary was the only means of nomination for a long time. Later, becoming a part of the Russian language, Turkic loanwords acquire figurative meanings
