Abstract

Auch der vormoderne Mittel- und Nordeuropäer ist als "homo ludens" vorzustellen. So begegnen uns verschiedenste Spiele sportliche Disziplinen im Germanischen und Keltischen in mannigfacher Funktion als literarisches Motiv in fiktionalen Texten und als mythologische Chiffre. Spielverbote sind für die Rechtsgeschichte einschlägig. Reichhaltiges archäologisches Material dokumentiert diesen kulturellen Bereich auch realhistorisch.Die im vorliegenden Band versammelten Aufsätze ergründen das Phänomen "Spiel und Sport" in seinen philologischen, archäologischen, kunsthistorischen sowie kultur- und sozialgeschichtlichen Bezügen. Der behandelte Zeitraum reicht von der Erwähnung des Würfelspiels bei Tacitus über die höfische Falknerei bis zur Spielkultur im schwedischen Bergmannsmilieu des 17. Jahrhunderts. Das Themenspektrum umfasst Würfel- und Brettspiele, die ritterlichen septem probitates, (Beiz-)Jagd, Ballspiele, Kampfkunst, Pferdekämpfe und Bootswettfahrten.

Abstract

The British Isles are home to a vast range of different spoken and signed languages and dialects. Language continues to evolve rapidly, in its diversity, in the number and the backgrounds of its speakers, and in the repercussions it has had for political and educational affairs. This book provides a comprehensive survey of the dominant languages and dialects used in the British Isles. Topics covered include the history of English; the relationship between Standard and Non-Standard Englishes; the major non-standard varieties spoken on the islands; and the history of multilingualism; and the educational and planning implications of linguistic diversity in the British Isles. Among the many dialects and languages surveyed by the volume are British Black English, Celtic languages, Chinese, Indian, European migrant languages, British Sign Language, and Anglo-Romani. Clear and accessible in its approach, it will be welcomed by students in sociolinguistics, English language, and dialectology, as well as anyone interested more generally in language within British society.
