"This volume explores an underappreciated feature of the standard Tiberian Masoretic tradition of Biblical Hebrew, namely its composite nature. Focusing on cases of dissonance between the tradition's written (consonantal) and reading (vocalic) components, the study shows that the Tiberian spelling and pronunciation traditions, though related, interdependent, and largely in harmony, at numerous points reflect distinct oral realisations of the biblical text. Where the extant vocalisation differs from the apparently pre-exilic pronunciation presupposed by the written tradition, the former often exhibits conspicuous affinity with post-exilic linguistic conventions as seen in representative Second Temple material, such as the core Late Biblical Hebrew books, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Ben Sira, rabbinic literature, the Samaritan Pentateuch, and contemporary Aramaic and Syriac material. On the one hand, such instances of written-reading disharmony clearly entail a degree of anachronism in the vocalisation of Classical Biblical Hebrew compositions. On the other, since many of the innovative and secondary features in the Tiberian vocalisation tradition are typical of sources from the Second Temple Period and, in some cases, are documented as minority alternatives in even earlier material, the Masoretic reading tradition is justifiably characterised as a linguistic artefact of profound historical depth."--Publisher's website.

Métonymies, anacoluthes, oxymorons, euphémismes, litotes, méta-phores… L’étude des figures de style permet de mieux comprendre le sens et la forme des énoncés, de déceler certains codages et travestissements conventionnels de l’expression. Elle a un large champ d’application, qui va de la rhétorique à la poésie et la littérature en passant par l’étymologie, la grammaire, la psychologie du langage ou encore la communication. Henri Suhamy propose une classification originale, claire et logique, illustrée par des exemples tirés d’œuvres littéraires, du journalisme, du discours politique, du langage courant, ou inventés par l’auteur pour présenter et expliquer les principales figures de style.

Assembles texts, performances, and personae from American culture to assert the elemental natureof styleWhile “style” is equated with fashion or convention in common parlance, Style: A Queer Cosmologydefines the term as a mode of expression that makes us more like ourselves and less like everyone else.Taylor Black’s interdisciplinary conceptual analysis assembles texts, performances, and personae fromAmerican culture that engage in ethical, creative, and performative modes of what he terms “abundantrevelation.” Moving back and forth through time, this book sketches American cosmologies cultivated byiconic and subterranean American artists like Edgar Allan Poe, Flannery O’Connor, Nikki Giovanni, andBob Dylan. Presiding throughout is the book’s conceptual guide: latter-day American and notorioushomosexual Quentin Crisp, resurrected here as a philosopher of style.As a scholarly intervention, Style participates in the critical work of revival and attunement—revitalizingfigures, terms, and ideas that have become too familiar. Returning to viewing the critic as a stylist, Style:A Queer Cosmology leans into the study of things and qualities that are immanent and elude paraphrase or social scientific categorization. Style is about the possible rather than the probable, singularity over universals, personality instead of identity, the emergent and not the new—the mystery of becoming.
