Conversion as semiotic mechanism for urban palimpsesting
•
0 likes•310 views
Conversion is a linguistic process where a word changes its part of speech without changing form, such as the word "work" being used as both a verb and a noun. Palimpsesting refers to changing the context or meaning of something that already exists, similar to how palimpsests involve scraping off and reusing manuscripts. The document argues that culture is palimpsested through the process of conversion, where the original meaning or paradigm of something persists but the surface level meaning changes based on new contexts and intentions.

Structural Semantics
Structural semantics examines the relationships between the meanings of terms within language. It views meaning as composed of smaller structural units that are defined through social interactions, and may become meaningless without such contexts. Structuralism studies the underlying systems of signification that occur wherever there are meaningful events or actions, such as discussions, texts, or social practices, and views meaning as a product of shared signification systems rather than private experience. Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic theory analyzed how elements of language relate synchronically in a system, with the basic unit of the sign composed of the signifier and signified.
Structural semantics2
This document discusses the history and relationship between structural linguistics, formal semantics, and the ideas of Ferdinand de Saussure. It summarizes that structural linguistics began with de Saussure's work but his followers developed it in ways that diverged from his original rigorous scientific approach. Chomsky introduced formal grammars that increased linguistic rigor and facilitated computer applications. Montague then formalized semantics based on formal logic and possible worlds, treating meanings as sets rather than just truth values. This formal approach resolved issues with previous semantic theories.
Text
This document discusses three types of meaning that are encoded in texts: ideational meaning, interpersonal meaning, and textual meaning. Ideational meaning refers to the phenomena and events described in a text. Interpersonal meaning expresses a speaker's attitudes and is influenced by the relationship between participants. Textual meaning expresses the relationship between language and its context and environment. Mood and modality influence interpersonal meaning. Together, these three types of meaning provide insight into the field, tenor, and mode of a text.
Introduction : what is comparative literature today ?
This document provides an overview and analysis of comparative literature according to Susan Bassnett. It summarizes that comparative literature involves the study of texts across cultures and time periods, but there is no single agreed upon definition or methodology. Bassnett argues that different scholars have defined it in different ways and there is no single framework. It also discusses how comparative literature has evolved dynamically over time and faced a crisis of identity in postmodernism as its status as a discrete discipline was questioned.
Stylistics chapter 3 BY ALEXIS JOHN BENEDICTO
This document discusses the idea of language function and how it can help explain how utterances form coherent discourse even without formal links. The function of an utterance depends on who says it, who it's said to, and the context or situation. The same sentence can have different functions and meanings in different contexts between different people. Examining theories of pragmatics, which distinguishes semantic from pragmatic meaning, provides insights into the nature of coherence and challenges of communication for language learners.
Jakobson
Roman Jakobson was a famous Russian linguist who emigrated to Czechoslovakia and the United States. He was a leading figure of the Moscow Linguistic Circle and co-founder of the Prague Linguistic Circle. In his 1959 essay "On Linguistic Aspects of Translation," Jakobson defined three types of translation: intralingual translation within one language, interlingual translation between two languages, and intersemiotic translation from verbal language to nonverbal sign systems.

“Translation and literary history an indian view- - ganesh devy
This document discusses Ganesh Devy's views on translation and literary history from an Indian perspective. It begins by outlining Roman Jakobson and J.C. Catford's theories on translation from a linguistic standpoint. It then analyzes how translation was used to transmit literary movements across languages and the role of Orientalism in European studies. Finally, it concludes that comparative literature involves shared and unique areas of significance between languages and that Indian philosophies see translation as a process of transforming and revitalizing original works while maintaining their essence, making translation a core part of Indian literary traditions.

Introduction : What is comparative literature today -
Susan Bassnett's text discusses the evolving field of comparative literature. It notes that comparative literature involves studying connections between texts across cultures, languages and time periods. However, the definition and goals of comparative literature have shifted with the emergence of new theories like postcolonialism and developments in translation studies. Some argue comparative literature is not a single discipline but a broad field of interconnected study. Overall, the text examines how comparative literature has adapted to changes in literary criticism and globalization.

Introduction what is comparative literature today -
Susan Bassnett provides a critical introduction to comparative literature. She argues that there is no single agreed upon definition or method of studying comparative literature. Different scholars have defined it in various ways. Generally, comparative literature involves studying literature across different cultures and languages expressed throughout literary history. Bassnett asserts that comparative literature cannot be confined within set boundaries and is a dynamic field influenced by cultural shifts over time.
CL origins, etymology, quotations...
Comparative Literature emerged as a term in the mid-19th century, originally used to describe comparative analyses of different national literatures. It was first used by Matthew Arnold in 1848 to refer to the comparative survey of poetry between different nations. The term became more popularized in France and was used to establish the field as one focused on the "binary relations" between two or more literatures, distinguished from the more general study of literature. Some key debates around Comparative Literature include its purpose and whether it should include the study of folklore and other non-literary works. Seminal works that helped establish it as a discipline include Wellek and Warren's "Theory of Literature" and works by Harry Levin,
Comparative literature amd translation studies
Tejaswini Niranjana examines how translation has historically functioned as a tool of colonial domination and the construction of colonial subjectivities. She argues that translation presented the colonial view of non-Western cultures and peoples as the transparent truth, erasing heterogeneity. Niranjana also discusses how post-structuralism's critique of concepts like representation, history, and the construction of difference can provide a framework to rethink translation's role and move towards practices that resist colonial frameworks. Her analysis suggests translation and histories are intertwined and both can be reinscribed through post-colonial and post-structuralist perspectives.
Comparative literature- summary
Comparative literature involves the international study of literature across languages, genres, time periods and national borders. It examines the relationships between literature and other cultural phenomena like history, philosophy and the arts. Comparative literature scholars make comparisons between texts and explore how understanding requires interpreting texts and relating new texts to ones previously encountered through processes like translation and hermeneutics. The study of literature in this way aims to appreciate works beyond national boundaries and integrate literary experience with broader cultural changes and concepts.

Standard language and poetic

Jan Mukařovský
Jan Mukařovský (1891–1975) was a literary scholar and aesthetician, one of the ma-
jor fi gures of Czech structuralism and a member of the Prague Linguistic Circle. He
was a professor of aesthetics (1945) and rector at Charles University (1948–1953). Af-
ter World War II, he renounced his pre-war structuralism and became politically and
ideologically active. In his work, he stressed the role of the aesthetic function, consid-
ering it the crucial characteristic of any work of art. Th e meaning of a work of art is
the outcome of its dynamic structure, a sum of all component parts. Amongst others,
he developed the notions of the aesthetic norm and the aesthetic function, pointing
out the way works of art fulfi l, as well as violate, existing norms. Th e violations of the
norm, which arise from the foregrounding of some components of the work of art,
ultimately have the potential to become new norms.

CHAPTERS FROM THE HISTORY OF CZECH FUNCTIONAL LINGUISTICS
Th is article explores the relationship between the poetic language and the standard.
Mukařovský identifi es poetic language as an entity separate and distinct from the stand-
ard language. In his view, the standard provides the background against which various
distortions are produced with the aim of creating aesthetic eff ects. Th e notions of autom-
atization and foregrounding are then introduced: the former refers to production of an
utterance in an automatic manner, the latter is associated with a more conscious execu-
tion of the utterance that arises when the appropriate norms are violated. In a work of
art, we may fi nd the foregrounding of various components that are mutually hierarchi-
cally organized in terms of domination and subordination.
Th e problem of the relationship between standard language and poetic language can
be considered from two standpoints. Th e theorist of poetic language poses it somewhat
as follows: is the poet bound by the norms of the standard? Or perhaps: how does this
norm assert itself in poetry? Th e theorist of the standard language, on the other hand,
wants to know above all to what extent a work of poetry can be used as data for ascer-
taining the norm of the standard. In other words, the theory of poetic language is pri-
marily interested in the diff erences between the standard and poetic language, whereas
the theory of the standard language is mainly interested in the similarities between them.
It is clear that with a good procedure no confl ict can arise between the two directions
of research; there is only a diff erence in the point of view and in the illumination of the
problem. Our study approaches the problem of the relationship between poetic language
and the standard from the vantage point of poetic language. Our procedure will be to
subdivide the general problem into a number of special problems.
Th e fi rst probl.
Realisation of text coherence in english and albanian languages through conce...
This academic article compares the use of conceptual metaphors in the English and Albanian languages to convey text coherence. It finds that while both languages use metaphors based on animals like wolves and snakes, Albanian metaphors have different implications than their English counterparts. For example, in Albanian calling someone a "bitch" can be meant as praise for their intelligence rather than an insult. The article analyzes examples from folk songs and literature to show how Albanian uses metaphors like "ABILITY IS A BITCH" and "WISDOM IS A DEVIL" positively, unlike their meanings in English. It concludes that conceptual metaphors vary between languages and understanding these differences is important for achieving text coherence when communicating across languages.

Variation analysis
This document discusses variation analysis, which examines patterns in alternative ways of saying the same thing in a language. Variationists assume that social context influences language use. They study how speech varies based on social and linguistic factors by observing language use in different social settings. The document contrasts the vernacular, which is language used with little attention to style, with more prestigious forms that may be used when speech is being observed or judged. It provides examples of linguistic variation in words, pronunciations, and syntax. The end discusses narrative and list as different text types that have distinct information structures related to temporal sequencing, descriptions, and evaluations.
Textual equivalence
Views on equivalence in translation theory have evolved over time. Early views focused on achieving total equivalence between source and target texts, but it is now recognized that complete equivalence is impossible due to inherent differences between languages. More recent approaches view translation as establishing functional or dynamic equivalence, where the goal is to produce a similar effect on the target language reader as the original text had on its own readers. Theories also take into account the target language and culture in evaluating a translation. There is no single definition of equivalence, but most modern views see translations as approximations that aim to adequately convey the original meaning.
INTRODUCTION TO SEMANTIC
This document discusses the meaning and study of semantics. It provides definitions and explanations of key concepts in semantics, including symbol and referent, denotation and connotation, pragmatics, ambiguity, and semantic change. It also discusses subfields like lexical semantics and sentential semantics. As an example, it analyzes the sentence "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously," which was originally presented as meaningless but is argued to poetically describe new, dull ideas circulating unconsciously.
Translation and literary History An Indian View by Ganesh Devi (1).pptx
Ganesh Devi presents an Indian view of translation and literary history. In 3 sentences:
Western philosophy sees translation as exile from the original, but Indian metaphysics views translation differently. Translation is a merging of sign systems between languages and a way to bring one language closer to meanings shared with another. Indian literary traditions have long been traditions of translation, restatement, and revitalization rather than emphasis on strict originality.

It studied language as a system of functionally related units and emphasized the functions that linguistic elements fulfill. The Prague School's major contributions included its conception of linguistic function, the concept of phonological opposition, the theory of markedness, and the distinction between theme and rheme. The general approach of the Prague School can be described as a combination of structuralism and functionalism.
Stylistics-LET Review
Stylistics is the study of literary discourse from a linguistic perspective, examining how language choices create meaning and artistic effect. There are several branches of stylistics including lexical, grammatical, phonological, functional, individual author styles, and encoding/decoding. Key concepts include tropes like metaphor and metonymy, sound techniques like alliteration, and structural devices like irony and register elements. Stylistics aims to interpret and evaluate literary works through the lens of their expressive linguistic features.

Stylistics 3 The Purpose of Stylistics.ppt
This document discusses the purpose and principles of stylistics analysis. It explains that stylistics explores creativity in language use to enrich understanding of texts. A rigorous, retrievable, and replicable methodology is important. Various levels of language are identified that can be analyzed, including phonology, graphology, morphology, syntax, lexicology, semantics, and pragmatics. Literary texts have an individualizing rather than social function through their unconventional and ambiguous language. Poetry in particular uses language playfully to create imaginary worlds and reflect emotions.

Do love and sex have different meanings in digital age?
The document discusses how the conceptualization of love and sex has changed over time, from ancient Greece to the modern digital age. It outlines several ancient Greek terms for love like agape, eros, and philia. It questions whether summarizing these concepts as simply 'love' is correct. It also examines examples from history like Achilles and Patroclus to analyze the nature of their relationship. The document further defines the terms sex1, sex2, and gender, noting how the distinction between biological sex and gender as a social construct emerged in 1955. Finally, it looks at how views of sex and love have evolved from medieval times to the sexual revolution to the modern AIDS era.

Institution of communication
The document discusses communication as an institution from an anthropological perspective. It defines communication as the establishment of coded relations between a speaker and receiver where the receiver can become a speaker. An anthropological approach studies the common, unwritten laws of coexistence within communities. The document analyzes whether communication fits the criteria of an institution by examining its tools (sign systems), activities (speech acts), functions (socialization, pleasure, healing), norms (influenced by language habits), and laws (pragmatic principles of communication). It ultimately argues that communication demonstrates the arrangements to be considered an institution according to an anthropological framework.

The Phatic Coffee
This document discusses "phatic coffee", which is using coffee as a social tool to begin casual conversations and establish social contact. It defines phatic communication as meaningless small talk used to maintain social relationships rather than exchange information. Coffee is well-suited for phatic conversations because it is a universal, unmarked social drink that does not have strong cultural associations or imply intimacy like alcohol. Drinking coffee with someone allows interaction without commitments. The document concludes that coffee is ideal for breaking social barriers because of its neutral, global status as a casual drinking.
Semiotics of on line communications
This document summarizes different types of online communication based on their level of anonymity. It divides online communication into media, which is personal communication between individuals, and mass media, which is communication from institutions to large groups. Within media, it identifies categories from very personal and non-anonymous like video chat, to semi-official options like social network messages, to anonymous options like anonymous dating websites. Mass media involves anonymous communication from websites and social networks representing institutions.
