Abstract:
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), crítico, ensaísta, jornalista, poeta, educador e lexicógrafo, é considerado uma das personalidades mais proeminentes no mundo intelectual da Bretanha do século XVIII. Em 1777, ele recebeu a proposta de um grupo de livreiros para escreveruma série de vidas de poetas ingleses, e entre 1779-81 foi publicada a obra TheLives of the English Poets, a qual contém a vida de Alexander Pope (1688-1744),de onde extraímos o excerto abaixo. (Robinson, 2002). Samuel Johnson elogia o trabalho de Pope na tradução de Homero e a sua contribuição para a versificação em inglês. E observa que a tradução de Pope não é fiel e não tem a simplicidade do original. Johnson, contudo, justifica as variações apresentadas por Pope em sua tradução em razão da distância existente entre aslínguas, as épocas, os lugares.

Abstract:
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) foi um intelectual multifário cuja fama atravessou os séculos após a publicação de seu monumental e pioneiro Dictionary of the English Language, de 1755, uma das grandes conquistas da cultura de língua inglesa, obra de referência compulsória por mais de um século até a publicação do imenso Oxford English Dictionary a partir de 1888. Nesse ensaio, Johnson reúne fragmentos da história da tradução e os expõe cronologicamente, mesclando a eles os seus juízos sobre o estado da atividade em cada época. Começa pelos Gregos, passa pelos Romanos, trata dos Árabes, informa o estado de confusão propiciado pelos bárbaros, descreve o humor da Idade Média e aponta a luz que a sucedeu, até a tradução chegar a Inglaterra, assunto da segunda metade do ensaio. Rajadas curtas de crônica histórica interpostas por juízos de valor a culminar, ao fim, numa visão da tradução não tão estranha aos artistas que a ela se dedicam ainda hoje.

Abstract:
Summary This article provides a broad intellectual context for Robert Lowth’s (1710–1787) Short Introduction to English Grammar (1762), and in particular for the footnotes or “Critical Notes” in which he documented the grammatical errors of great dead writers. It is well known that Lowth’s notes were innovative in the English grammatical tradition, and that they contrasted and qualified the “Examples from the best Writers” in the Dictionary of the English Language (1755) by Samuel Johnson (1709–1784). Here the author places Lowth in broader context and demonstrate that the ‘bad’ grammar of vernacular classics had already been publicized in debates about translating the bible and editing Shakespeare. In the concluding discussion I draw on current studies of literary canons to argue that by crystallizing the difference between literary and standard language, Lowth’s grammar increased the socio-cultural capital of both.

Abstract:
The article focuses on a British intellectual and lexicographer Samuel Johnson’s (1709–1784) views on the rights and freedoms of people living in Britain’s North American colonies. It accounts for the reasons of Johnson’s negative attitude to colonial people’s attempts to repeal taxes and seek representation in the English parliament. The writer despised American colonists, for he believed them to descend from the first settlers who had oppressed and enslaved the indigenous population. Moreover, the lexicographer believed that the majority of American colonists belonged to the lower classes, were descendants of criminals and paupers who had disturbed the peace in the Old World and had fled to the New World to escape their just punishment. The unrest in the American colonies in the 1770s only aggravated Johnson’s prejudices. His worldview prevented the lexicographer from understanding why American colonists weren’t satisfied with the position of British subjects and wanted to be represented in the British Parliament. Johnson believed that American colonists were anarchists wishing to shatter the British rule. В центре внимания статьи — взгляды английского интеллектуала и лексикографа Сэмюэла Джонсона (1709–1784) на права и свободы жителей североамериканских колоний Британии. Объясняются причины негативного восприятия Джонсоном попыток колонистов добиться отмены налоговых сборов и получения представительства в английском парламенте. Литератор относился к американским колонистам с презрением, поскольку считал их либо потомками первых колонистов, угнетавших и порабощавших аборигенное население, либо «надсмотрщиками» рабов. Более того, антипатия лексикографа основывалась на представлении о том, что большинство американских колонис-тов являлись выходцами из социальных низов, преступниками и нищими, нарушавшими спокойствие в Англии и часто бежавшими от правосудия в Новый свет. Волнения в американских колониях в 1770-е годы лишь усугубили эти представления Джонсона. Мировоззренческие установки не позволяли лексикографу понять, почему американским колонистам недостаточно быть подданными британской короны без права выбирать своих представителей в парламент, поэтому колонисты казались ему сторонниками анархии, желающими поколебать устоявшийся в Британии порядок.

Abstract:
Research in (Linguistics) is still a continuous matter since the Middle Ages until its development in the Renaissance, and then the scope of its research quickly expanded until it included the contrastive analysis according to which this study came to search for the precise (linguistic and idiomatic) meaning of the terms (dictionary and lexicon) in the two languages (Arabic and English), the difference between them, the date of their appearance and their use in the Arabic language, and the corresponding words in the English language, with the introduction of the pioneers of this industry, which began among the Arabs at the hands of Sheikh (Al-Khalil Ibn Ahmed Al-Farahidi 718-786 AD) when he authored the book (Al Ain) in 2nd century AH / the 8th century AD, and it began with the English people at the hands of Dr. (Samuel Johnson 1709-1784 AD) when he authored the first English dictionary in 1755 and then developed through the ages, as this industry is considered one of the works that have been needed for several centuries and until the present time because of its prominent role and great importance in scientific research, translation, language teaching, and knowledge of others’ civilizations, cultures and sciences on a large scale.

Abstract:
As a man of letters with an exceptionally extensive and diverse output, Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) has invited consideration from a variety of angles. The present study offers a 'reading' of Johnson as a framer of distinctions. His distinction-making activity is viewed as a capital feature of the oeuvre, characterizing it across almost its entire range, a very substantial body of evidence is adduced in support of this reading. Broken up by distinction-type, the mass of evidence sorts itself out into seventeen different categories themselves grouped under seven 'thematic' heads. The organization of the inquiry on taxonomic lines is intended both to throw into relief the multiform character of Johnson's distinction-making praxis (something not heretofore remarked) and also to provide a comprehensive, systematic and easily 'readable' account of it. That the evidence testifying to Johnson's distinction-making turned out to be so voluminous could not but occasion the thought that it might be an involuntary activity, a 'drive' grounded in the very 'set' of his psyche which comes in consequence to be viewed as in some sort 'formed for distinction-making'. This thought evolved into the thesis that the present study undertakes to defend, in doing which it becomes a psychocritical investigation inscribed within the theoretical frame of psychological stylistics whose aim is to make inferences and advance hypotheses about the build and workings of a mind from an analysis of the linguistic and stylistic data it generates.

Abstract:
Samuel Johnson's Dictionary has long been regarded as an epoch-making book, as great a scholarly achievement as the dictionaries of the Italian, French and Spanish academies, yet more enlightened in its pretensions and its politics. For Johnson does not claim to have fixed the language; his authority is not backed by the state; his decisions as to currency, propriety, meaning, and spelling are based on a jumble of general custom, literary precedent, and reason.
I argue that the intellectual origins of Johnsonian standard English lie in Sir Edward Coke's early seventeenth-century restatement of common law doctrine and terms. Salient issues are common law's need to give an account of its antiquated, medieval vocabulary and its place in the constitutional conflict of the seventeenth century. I give an account of other possible influences on Johnson--Latin and English grammars, pedagogy, philosophical speculation on the nature of language, English prose styles, and proposals for an English academy or similar reform--but cannot find in any of them a sufficiently close conceptual parallel.

Abstract:
The master’s thesis is an attempt of reconstruction of the intellectual biography of famous English writer and lexicographer Samuel Johnson in the context of British history of the XVIII century. The author investigate a life path of the intellectual through a prism of such institute of sociability as family, church, school, institute and English club, based on the complex of Johnson’s writings and works of his contemporaries. The author emphasizes a problem of the formation of Johnson as professional writer, because the history of his literary successes was closely linked with main sociocultural processes, occurring in Britain of the XVIII century. Moreover in thesis author analyze a Johnson’s political views, using lexicographer’s political pamphlets and papers.
Магистерская диссертация представляет собой попытку реконструкции интеллектуальной биографии известного английского литератора и лексикографа Сэмюэла Джонсона в контексте британской истории XVIII века. Опираясь на комплекс сочинений С. Джонсона и его современников, автор исследует жизненный путь интеллектуала сквозь призму таких институтов социабельности как семья, церковь, школа, университет и английский клуб. Особое внимание автор уделяет проблеме становления Джонсона как профессионального писателя, поскольку история его литературных успехов была неразрывно связана с основными социокультурными процессами, происходившими в Британии XVIII века. Кроме того, в диссертации автор анализирует политические воззрения литератора, используя политические памфлеты и статьи С. Джонсона.
