 Elisabeth Piirainen, Ari Sherris, "Language Endangerment" English | 2015 | ISBN: 9027204101 | PDF | pages: 215 | 2.2 mb Languages and language varieties around the globe have been diminishing at an astonishing rate. Despite great efforts at language documentation, scholarship on metaphors and figurative units - often particularly fragile parts of language - has been largely neglected until recently. This book, like its predecessor Endangered Metaphors (CLSCC 2, 2012), focuses on disappearing metaphors and idioms from languages of diverse continents. Moreover, the book analyzes work from online social interaction, discusses topics such as language maintenance, educational practice and revitalization, as well as future directions for endangered metaphor studies. The book is highly innovative and produces new findings for linguistics and cultural studies: the more languages are examined, especially minority varieties distant from western languages, the more questionable becomes "universality" in the field of metaphor, with unique linguistic data across chapters, evidencing the non-universality of conceptual metaphors and calling for a revision of existing metaphor theories. The book will be of special interest to: linguistics (metaphor and phraseology research, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology), public policy, sociology; community activists and educators of language maintenance and revitalization.

Land, Power, and Society in Medieval Castile: A Study of "Behetría" Lordship By Cristina Jular Pérez-Alfaro, Carlos Estepa Díez (eds.) 2009 | 354 Pages | ISBN: 2503526233 | PDF | 6 MB This work offers an up-to-date discussion of medieval Castilian lordship and social relations, approached through an analysis of 'behetría' lordship, a power-structure of fundamental importance in medieval Castile. The origins of 'behetría' lordship, a complex phenomenon in both theory and practice, are obscure. Knowledge of the 'behetrías' has therefore hitherto been limited to a narrow circle of traditionalist, highly specialized legal historians.The present volume redresses this imbalance, as its various contributors explore the question of 'behetría' lordship from a broad social perspective, thereby demonstrating the crucial role played by this seigneurial structure within medieval Castilian society. This collection of essays thus focuses less on legal intricacies than on deeper social, territorial, and political issues, which are also examined in relation to other better-known forms of lordship exercised both within Castile and beyond. This volume provides rich historical material on medieval Castile rarely available to an English readership; it represents a gateway to a wealth of relatively little-known literature and information on the social history of medieval Spain, and will provide an invaluable tool for comparative research.
