The paper analyses the use of the paroemia at mæla fagrt ok hyggja flátt (to speak fairly and to think falsely) in the Old Norse-Icelandic literary corpus, focusing both on the paroemia and its derivative — the representation of the characters’ eloquence by the formula that they are speaking in “fair words” (mæla með fögrum orðum). At the heart of the research lies the obscure use of the paroemia in one of the sagas of Icelanders, Bjarnar saga hítdælakappa, where the paroemia’s function is difficult to interpret if it is read only against the general context of the saga. While often in the Old Norse-Icelandic corpus the paroemia is followed by deceit and the immediate death of the character who has been spoken to fairly, in Bjarnar saga the paroemia leads only to an unsuccessfull winter stay at the main antagonist’s farmhouse. Our commentary to this part draws upon the analysis of the use of the paroemia and its variants in the wider corpus of Old Norse-Icelandic texts. This approach allows one not only to look at the case of non-standard paroemical usage in sagas and discover several narrative strategies connected to this particular paroemia in the Old Norse-Icelandic literature but also to start a discussion about the attitude towards eloquence in Medieval Iceland.

The connection of the poetic form with the content is investigated. The free verse, developed by W. Whitman in the second half of the 19th century, took root in the USSR with difficulty. In modern Russian poetry, the free verse, while preserving the aura of Western poetic culture, often combines gender and political meanings, broadcasting ...

Unlike many other Turkic languages, Balkar normally demonstrates obligatory subject-verb
number agreement in finite clauses with 3rd person subjects: when a subject is plural-marked,
so is the verb. However, there are cases when the subject is not overtly plural-marked, but the
verb can be. We argue for an account where such facts are not reduced to any form ...

The determination of new words and meanings is a key issue in lexical history studies. However,
common reliance on identifying “the earliest examples” can be challenged by textual complexity and subjective
disagreements. Focusing on the emergence of the FAST meaning of kuai (快), this study proposes criteria for
identifying new meanings from the perspective of the lexical system. ...

The article examines Old Russian anthroponyms with the suffix -ec-, originally conveying the meaning ‘less than X’. A diachronic corpus study of
11th–17th-century texts reveals that while this suffix lacked inherent pejorative
connotations in Old Russian sources, contextual (adherent) pejoration is clearly
observable. For pre-15th-century chronicles, two primary usage patterns are
identified—1) characters with explicit negative evaluation, and 2) ...

The story of the Tower of Babel (Gen 11:1-9) is one of the key episodes in the narratives of the Book of Genesis. In modern scholarship, various—often sharply divergent—datings of this pericope are proposed, as well as different interpretations of its place in the picture of the formation of the biblical text that was put ...

Like other narratives in the Book of Genesis, the story of Cain and Abel (Gen 4:1–16) has been studied and commented upon for more than two millennia. However, recent scholarship has introduced significant revisions to traditional interpretations. Over the past five years, several monumental commentaries on Genesis 1–11 have been published, offering new—and sometimes mutually ...

The paper is devoted to the variable number marking in Shughni
nouns and reports the results of corpus and experimental studies. In some languages,
including Shughni, the marking of plural nouns is not compulsory. Many
factors such as animacy, referentiality, morphological and semantic properties,
or syntactic position may determine the presence or absence of number marking.

This book is a metaphysical inquiry into the nature and origin of the manifold. Taking Schelling’s Erlangen lectures of 1820–1821 as its point of departure and hermeneutic horizon, it develops an interpretation of Nomos that transcends its political, juridical, and social determinations. Nomos thereby emerges as the ontological principle of an infinite, variegated multiplicity of ...

Это микроинтертекстуальность на уровне конкретных слов и приемов, коллаж осколков чужих голосов, однако таких осколков, которые сохраняют способность отсылать к целому и к тому же вписаны — вклеены на манер аппликации — в узнаваемую интонацию самого поэта.

There is a scene in Pindar’s Pythian 9 that attracts much attention of
scholars, not only because the erotic theme in general is unusual for Pindar,
but also because in this scene neither the question that Apollo addresses

interpreted. Does Apollo intend to commit open violence against Cyrene,

By the 12th-13th c. the Icelandic saga narrative developed specific techniques and formulas that were used to describe kings and their typical functions. These formulas are highly relevant to such a phenomenon as the woman’s reign in the 10th c., which is also called the Saga Age. Although usually the king description fromulas are formed around the patronym, there are several ...
