Abstract

This monograph lays the foundation for a prosodological theory of Tibeto-Burman languages within a comparative and reconstructional framework. It is primarily based on data collections of mostly unknown languages on which the author worked for more than 10 years on several projects.This comparative study of tonology represents a significant contribution not only to the historical-comparative study of Tibeto-Burman, but also to the larger field of linguistic theory, especially now that the subject increasingly begins to be approached along diachronic lines. With this in mind, it is hoped that t

Abstract

These volumes continue the only complete edition of the surviving correspondence of William Morris (1834- 1896), a protean figure who exerted a major influence as poet, craftsman, master printer, and designer. Covering the years 1881 through 1888, they treat the most dramatic period in another facet of Morris's career: his work as a political activist.Originally published in 1988.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

Usan is a Papuan language. In this monograph on the grammatical structures of Usan and their function the author shows the unique features of this language: how speakers can exploit certain principles for communicative purposes, how the language reflects their physical environment. Uniqueness can only be shown in the context of communality with other languages. This monograph offers numerous occasions to observe similarities and differences between Usan and other language, those that can be called Papuan in particular.

Abstract

L'île de Bretagne fut longtemps pauvre en écrivains latins, à l'inverse d'autres provinces de l'Empire romain. D'où l'intérêt du De Excidio Britanniae, écrit par Gildas au VIe siècle, qui au reste n'a d'abord retenu l'attention que des historiens du fait que l'auteur commence son livre par le rappel des événements qui ont marqué l'île entre le début de notre ère et son époque : rappel dont la nature est maintenant remise en question. On découvre à étudier l'œuvre de Gildas un ouvrage nourri de disciplines et de textes essentiellement ecclésiastiques, et, en même temps, ce qui n'est pas contradictoire, l'héritage de la rhétorique du Ve siècle, les formules et les développements tombés dans l'usage commun. Le vocabulaire est bigarré, la syntaxe, correcte et même conservatrice, le style en revanche contient des traits qui caractériseront un certain latin insulaire, de tendance baroque. On a l'impression que l'école est proche, une école de bon niveau, mais de type colonial, gardienne des règles tout en étant soucieuse de rivaliser avec les meilleurs stylistes. Par ailleurs, si les Romains ont quitté l'île depuis plusieurs décennies, Gildas reste attaché à l'idéal d'un Empire garant de paix et d'unité. Il critique le manque de loyalisme des Bretons, leur attachement aux usages locaux et les Saxons, déjà dans l'île et encore païens, sont pour lui des Barbares. Attitude de refus, qui contraste avec les missions de Patrice en Irlande. Gildas aura surtout des successeurs, semble-t-il, dans le domaine du style.
