Bush, Ronald, e David Ten Eyck. "A Critical Edition of Ezra Pound’s Pisan Cantos: Problems and Solutions". Textual Cultures 8, n. 2 (9 febbraio 2015): 121–41. http://dx.doi.org/10.14434/tc.v8i2.13278.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
If for no other reason the fact that all published editions of the Pisan Cantos have been unable to execute Ezra Pound’s instructions for the insertion of Greek and have omitted over fifty sets of Chinese characters that he directed his publishers to include would be sufficient cause to re-edit the poem. But the case for a new edition is stronger than that. Owing to the extraordinary conditions of its composition and transmission, approximately five hundred corruptions of Pound’s typescript text survived into the poem’s first English and American publications. Pound’s typescript of the Pisan Cantos was prepared during his incarceration in the US Army Disciplinary Training Center (DTC) an American military prison camp near Pisa during the summer and autumn of 1945, and was the product of the harsh conditions of his imprisonment (his wavering memory following a mental breakdown, his lack of books, and the many errors he inevitably produced typing at odd hours on unfamiliar typewriters). Just as seriously, many of Pound’s emended carbons never reached his editors at New Directions and he was forced during his continued incarceration in the U.S. to delegate responsibility for many kinds of correction he would normally have made himself. He was also denied access to his originals at every stage proofing. Although there can never be a definitively “corrected edition” of the Pisan Cantos because Pound made inconsistent emendations on different typescript leaves and kept his publishers in the dark about which instances of idiosyncratic spelling, quotation, and punctuation he wished them to correct, this does not mean that an edition cannot be established that eliminates the corruptions that later crept into the text and that carries out Pound’s implicit and explicit expectations for producing the poem, many of which his first editors never fully understood. A critical edition based on the typescripts Pound produced at Pisa and including a complete historical apparatus is currently in preparation with Oxford University Press and will not only achieve these aims but also make it possible to understand the deficiencies of the poem’s currently circulating texts.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The article deals with the representation of literary characters’ pronunciation in books by modern Russian, British, American (USA), Australian and Spanish writers. It shows how the author’s comments, as well as alternative spellings and other visual means of registering segmental and prosodic features of speech are used to point to a foreign accent, a regional or social dialect, or individual pronunciation patterns, etc. Frequencies of the use of the literary tool in Russian, English and Spanish literatures are presented. The conclusion emphasizes the sociolinguistic validity of book characters’ phonetic portraying and the adequate picture of the sociolinguistic situation in the country drawn with its help.

Soto Vázquez, Adolfo Luis. "Charles Dickens makes fun of idiolects in Martin Chuzzlewit". Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses, n. 18 (15 novembre 2005): 261. http://dx.doi.org/10.14198/raei.2005.18.13.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Martin Chuzzlewit is considered a very rich linguistic mosaic where a number of characters are in the habit of speaking 'private languages' or idiolects. In this travel-book we find a source of Dickens's impressions of America and a treatment of a linguistic problem: to make each class, each group and profession speak in its own characteristic way. In the representation of American speech the Victorian writer uses features such as deviant spellings, unusual morpho-syntactic patterns, standard words used in a different context, extralinguistic capitals and hyphens. The technique in the dialogues of Martin Chuzzlewit is especially the graphic and humorous, by means of which he exhibits the most trifling and commonplace things in a new and amusing light.

C., T. E. "HEALTH HAZARDS OF EXCESSIVE STUDY IN THE BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS (1854)". Pediatrics 84, n. 1 (1 luglio 1989): 93. http://dx.doi.org/10.1542/peds.84.1.93.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
During the mid-nineteenth century American physicians were greatly troubled by what they thought were the evils of excessive academic demands placed on children in our public schools. The editorial below, published in 1854 in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, is typical of many of a similar nature. Our city prides itself on the superiority of its public schools; and we think Boston is justly entitled to take the highest rank among the cities of the civilized world for the facilities afforded by its citizens for the education of youth. But notwithstanding the large expenditure of money for the erection of beautiful and commodious school-houses, for mathematical and other instruments, for teachers, &c., all which give a character to our Boston schools, there exists an evil in the present system of educating, which seriously demands attention, and, if possible, a remedy. It is the ambition of the teachers of our schools, to have their scholars thoroughly instructed, and that they may appear well before the committees at examinations; and for that purpose, lessons in great numbers and requiring toilsome study, are imposed upon them. No discrimination is made, as regards the mental or physical capacity of the individual members of the class, but all are required to be perfect in their answers, or else they lose their position in the class and school. Not one fifth of the time devoted to school hours is allowed for study, being occupied in recitations; and the severe tasks the poor children have in getting their lessons must be apparent, when it is known that so long a time is required in reciting them. The scholars of the second class, for instance, have to commit to memory from twelve to twenty-five pages of geography, three to six pages of arithmetic, the same of grammar, three pages in spelling, besides exercises in reading, writing, &c. Now these lessons must be studied out of school, at the time which should be devoted to exercise and recreation. The imposition of such severe tasks upon the young and growing children, must enfeeble their constutions, and often incapacitates them, if they arrive at maturity, for enjoying life. We have seen many children who were ambitious to accomplish all that was required of them by teachers; and to do so, the greatest portion of the twenty-four hours was necessarily devoted to their books, scarcely allowing any time for taking their meals. It must be obvious to every one, that such close application to study, produces, in their turn, a train of diseases which cannot always be eradicated. Aching heads, loss of appetite, sleepless nights, inflamed eyes, with other deviations from health, are the accompaniments and the consequences of excessive mental exertion.

Meirelles, Virginia, Linda Mitchell e Maria Revuelta. "Webster’s 1793 speller: not yet a portrait of America". Rivista di Storia dell’Educazione 9, n. 2 (9 novembre 2022): 37–46. http://dx.doi.org/10.36253/rse-13497.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The many different authors that have examined Webster’s speller agree on its influence in establishing American English. However, this examination seeks to accomplish something different from these works: to further explore the author’s linguistic and political concerns to reveal how they influenced the design of the speller. For that reason, this article compares Webster’s American Spelling Book of 1793 to Thomas Dilworth’s American edition of A New Guide to the English Tongue (1796). The essay identifies the changes that Webster introduces in his speller, set apart from Dilworth’s, and reveals how they were determined by his nationalistic beliefs and how the alterations might have contributed, from the author’s perspective, to the creation of a national character in the United States. Still, the investigation concludes that this edition of the speller does not, yet, define what it is to be American.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This paper presents a corpus-driven analysis of the linguistic competition between the suffixes -our/-or in Early Modern English. It is conceived as a state of the art to provide an explanation of the development and distribution of these competing suffixes in Early Modern English. The study is based on the distribution of the most common set of words with alternative spellings in the period to investigate the development and the standardisation of the -our and -or groups. The study offers the quantitative distribution of the suffixes in the period corroborating the participation of phenomena such as linguistic extinction, specialisation, blocking and lexicalisation in the configuration of the contemporary morphological paradigm. The source of evidence comes from the corpus of Early English Books Online (Davies, 2017) for the period 1470–1690. In addition to this, the study also relies on sources such as the Evans Corpus (2011), the Corpus of Historical American English (Davies, 2010) and the Corpus of Contemporary American English (Davies, 2008).

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Not all homo sapiens are human subjects. This paper explores the lived experience of homo sapiens but not human that I call “lived flesh.” A lived experience/distinction that shouldn’t be possible on Merleau-Ponty’s account of human subjectivity in Phenomenology of Perception and “The Intertwining – The Chiasm.” The use of flesh is deliberate and emerges from my engagement with Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception and “The Intertwining – The Chiasm” through Toni Morrison’s Beloved, Hortense Spillers’ “Interstices: A Small Drama of Words” and “Mama’s Baby, Papa’s Maybe: An American Grammar Book,” Amber Musser’s Sensual Excess: Queer Femininity and Brown Jouissance, and Audre Lorde’s Zami: A New Spelling of My Name. The affective, experiential, and ethical practices of american Blackwomxn in these texts problematize Merleau-Ponty’s account of human subjectivity and his account of the generality of Being (“The Intertwining – The Chiasm”). Merleau-Ponty’s effacement of raced, sexed, and gendered difference results in a construct of the human subject that cannot include all homo sapiens.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Mikrogeophagus Meulengracht-Madsen, 1968 is the oldest available generic name that has Apistogramma ramirezi as type species. Papiliochromis Meulengracht-Madsen, 1975 is an objective junior synonym of Mikrogeophagus. Papiliochromis Kullander, 1977 is an objective junior synonym of Mikrogeophagus and an objective junior synonym and homonym of Papiliochromis Meulengracht-Madsen, 1975. The name Microgeophagus used in an aquarium book by Frey 1957 is a nomen nudum because it was not used as a valid name. Many usages of Microgeophagus are erroneous subsequent spellings of Mikrogeophagus. Pseudogeophagus used by Hoedeman 1969 and Pseudoapistogramma used by Axelrod 1971 are nomina nuda. Mikrogeophagus, Microgeophagus, Pseudogeophagus, and Pseudoapistogramma were proposed with a direct or inferred reference to a non-existent publication about the behaviour of A. ramirezi. The case of A. ramirezi suggests that ornamental fish magazines may be unreliable sources of nomenclatural information.

McCulloch, Gretchen, e Kirsten Wright. "Timbit, Javex and Zed: Do Canadians realize that they have a unique vocabulary?" Inquiry@Queen's Undergraduate Research Conference Proceedings, 29 novembre 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.24908/iqurcp.7785.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Many Canadians feel that there is some difference between Canadian and American speech beyond simply the spelling of "colour," and linguistic research has confirmed that many vocabulary items, like poutine, eavestrough, and skate-a-thon, are found only in Canada. Although this topic has been popularized somewhat by books like Katherine Barber's Only in Canada, You Say, the extent to which Canadians are aware of the distinctness of their everyday vocabulary is still uncertain. This survey of 54 Queen's students, all native English-speaking Canadians age 24 and under, shows that real and false Canadianisms can be placed in categories based on meaning association and frequency of usage that correlate to the likelihood that respondents will judge them as "uniquely Canadian." Comparing identification and usage also reveals some intriguing characteristics of this demographic, including the decline of "chesterfield," contact with "francophones," and gender differences in food-related Canadianisms. This presentation will examine both specific examples and general trends found in the survey, as well as suggesting potential areas for further related study.

Springer, Paul J. Propaganda from the American Civil War. ABC-CLIO, LLC, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798216002093.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Offering comprehensive coverage for those examining Civil War propaganda, this volume provides a broad analysis of efforts by both Union and Confederate sides to influence public opinion of America's deadliest conflict. This illuminating reference work contains excerpts from roughly 100 individual pieces of propaganda generated during the American Civil War in the North and the South, as well as contextual analysis to assist readers in understanding its utility, importance, and effect. It includes written arguments, staged photographs, and political cartoons, all of which were used to advance one side's objectives while undermining the enemy's. This helps readers to understand the underlying arguments of each side as well as the willingness of each to distort the truth for political, military, or economic advantage. This book is organized chronologically, allowing readers to understand how propaganda developed and expanded throughout the war. It includes a chapter dedicated to each of the war years (1861–1865), an antebellum chapter, and a postwar chapter. Each document comprised in the volume includes an analysis of the significance and effectiveness of the piece and guides readers to examine it with a critical eye. The original source documents remain in their original verbiage, including common spelling errors and other interesting aspects of 19th-century communication.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
To be literate, people must be able to read and to write. There has been a large amount of research on the first aspect of literacy, reading. We now know a good deal about how adults read and about how children learn to read. We know much less about the second aspect of literacy, writing. One aspect of learning how to write is learning how to spell. How do children manage this, especially in a language like English that has so many irregular spellings? That is the topic of this book. In this book, I present a detailed study of the spellings produced by a group of American first-grade children. I ask what the children’s spellings reveal about their knowledge of language and about the development of spelling ability. In these days of computerized spelling checkers, is learning to spell correctly still necessary for being a good writer? I believe that it is. In her review of research on beginning reading, Marilyn Adams (1990, p. 3) states that “the ability to read words, quickly, accurately, and effortlessly, is critical to skillful reading comprehension— in the obvious ways and in a number of more subtle ones.” Similarly, the ability to spell words easily and accurately is an important pan of being a good writer. A person who must stop and puzzle over the spelling of each word, even if that person is aided by a computerized spelling checker, has little attention left to devote to other aspects of writing. Just as learning to read words is an important part of reading comprehension, so learning to spell words is an important part of writing. In the study reported in this book, I focus on a group of American first-grade children who were learning to read and write in English. These children, like an increasing number of children in America today, were encouraged to write on their own from the very beginning of the first-grade year. Their teacher did not stress correct spelling. Indeed, she did not tell the children how to spell a word even if they asked.

Abstract This chapter consists of synoptic remarks about all the Pleistocene orders, families, and genera of amphibians and reptiles from mainland North America (excluding Mexico) with references to regions delineated in this book in which their species occur. The precise localities of these Pleistocene species will be found in the regional accounts in Chapter 5.The arrangement of taxonomic groups and nomenclature mainly follows the widely distributed checklist of Banks, McDiarmid, and Gardner (1987). Exceptions include changes in the spelling of several scientific names since the 1987 publication (e.g., Conant and Collins, 1991); the fact that snakes, lizards, and amphisbaenians are considered orders rather than suborders following Estes (1983) and Rage (1984); and the fact that the Rhinuridae is considered a separate family (Estes, 1983).

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Abstract A Nobel laureate in literature, the southern-born William Faulkner became one of the foremost American novelists of his generation. His work, set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, mapped the territory in both a physical and moral sense. He knew his southern scene well. Born William Cuthbert Falkner (he later changed the spelling of the family name), he grew up in Oxford, Mississippi, where he did not complete high school. He joined Canada’s Royal Air Force, then attended the University of Mississippi, where he served as the university postmaster. He also produced a privately printed book of poetry before living briefly in New Orleans and writing sketches for newspapers there. He traveled to Europe and later returned to Oxford, where he married, had one daughter, and embarked upon his career as a full-time writer.
