Qualities, objects, sorts, and other treasures : gold digging in English and Arabic

In the present monograph, we will deal with questions of lexical typology in the nominal domain. By the term "lexical typology in the nominal domain", we refer to crosslinguistic regularities in the interaction between (a) those areas of the lexicon whose elements are capable of being used in the construction of "referring phrases" or "terms" and (b) the grammatical patterns in which these elements are involved. In the traditional analyses of a language such as English, such phrases are called "nominal phrases". In the study of the lexical aspects of the relevant domain, however, we will not confine ourselves to the investigation of "nouns" and "pronouns" but intend to take into consideration all those parts of speech which systematically alternate with nouns, either as heads or as modifiers of nominal phrases. In particular, this holds true for adjectives both in English and in other Standard European Languages. It is well known that adjectives are often difficult to distinguish from nouns, or that elements with an overt adjectival marker are used interchangeably with nouns, especially in particular semantic fields such as those denoting MATERIALS or NATlONALlTIES. That is, throughout this work the expression "lexical typology in the nominal domain" should not be interpreted as "a typology of nouns", but, rather, as the cross-linguistic investigation of lexical areas constitutive for "referring phrases" irrespective of how the parts-of-speech system in a specific language is defined

A portfolio of literary translation practice and translation analysis

The Covering Document below aims to provide an overview of the range and coherence of my publication portfolio submitted for examination under the Warwick PhD by Publications programme, founded in the inter-related disciplines of academic translation theory and literary translation practice. Details are given of the Selected Publications, with accompanying statements regarding the contribution to knowledge which they are respectively claimed to represent, noting awards, mentions or nominations won. The eight Selected Works are representative of my literary translation practice and my research in translation analysis over the period from 1999 to the present. However, the overall portfolio shows a substantial record of earlier publications reflecting my experience in university language teaching including translation training materials developed in the 1980s and 1990s. Literary translation practice (into English from Czech, German, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian) on the one hand, and research into aspects of translation theory on the other hand, are considered to be mutually reinforcing activities, the coherence of the present submitted portfolio arguably exemplifying a symbiosis of theory and practice for the benefit of both. The translation analyses are case studies in which theories and hypotheses regarding contrastive linguistic structures (after Vinay & Darbelnet 1958/1995), translation shifts (after Munday 2001), cultural transfer (after Jarniewicz 2012), over-interpretation (after Levý 2011) and other translational tendencies are investigated empirically. The literary translation practice is seen as informed by the empirical case studies, raising awareness of potential hazards and pitfalls. Analyses of literary prose translation explore aspects of comparative semantics, collocation and valency in an English translation of Pushkin, problems of dilution of tone and style in English translations of Dostoevsky, Czech/English cultural differences in styles of representing reported speech, over-interpretation and under-interpretation in English/Polish cultural transfer, issues of Czech/Lithuanian contrastive particles, the treatment of Anthony Burgess’s nadsat jargon in Polish etc

Cardinal Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle's Boschian 'Haywain' Tapestry: From Reformation to World Renunciation

This thesis addresses the changes and additions to the Haywain triptych that resulted in the Haywain tapestry, as well as how this work would have appealed to Catholic humanists and ecumenical reformers such as Cardinal Granvelle in the period 1530-1566. Following an exposition of the historical context of Catholic reformism in the Netherlands, this thesis will consider the circular composition of the Haywain tapestry – notably, the globus that circumscribes the image – and its affiliation with circular formats found in late medieval devotional manuals meant for solitary moral self-reflection. The thesis will also reflect on references in the tapestry to the subjects of Reformation-era debates such as Merit, Grace, and the Sacraments, as well as how the work’s composition—borrowed from modern devotional graphics and concepts—trained the viewer’s contemplation towards these topical issues. What will emerge from this study is an object that, in its recognition of the theological and political turmoil of the sixteenth-century, functions as a prompt for humanist reflections on ideological controversy and unending conflict. These reflections will be divided into two distinctly humanist responses vis-à-vis the tapestry: the stoic response, in the form of struggle for reform and conciliation, which takes place within the space inside of the globus, and an attitude of world renunciation, associated with the seascape with the clear horizon. Finally, the meaning of the tapestry’s seascape shall be interrogated as a reflection of the humanist perception of the ‘New World’ as utopic alternative to a strife-ridden Europe
