Speaking as an Iconoclast: Another’s Voice in 9th-Century Hagiography
Travaux et Memoires. 2020. Vol. 24. No. 2. P. 359–376.
The article explores the phenomenon of “another’s speech” in ninth-century hagiography taking as a starting point the discrepancies between the languages of the two opposing parties in the iconoclast controversy. Three texts are taken into consideration: the Life of Stephen the Younger, the Life of the Patriarch Nikephoros, and the Life of Michael the Synkellos. The analysis shows that with most verisimilitude the iconoclast language is reproduced in the source most
remote chronologically from the events it reports, whereas the highest degree of distortion is characteristic of the earliest one.

In this use, on the one hand, the pronoun corresponds to the argument of the head predicate, and, on the other hand, ...

Sukhovo-Kobylin (1817-1903), a playwright, was ahead of his time; his harsh laughter, descriptions of absurd reality in the trilogy "Pictures of the Past" (1869) and prophecies turned out to be consonant with the turning points of the twentieth century. The synthesis of dramatic, tragic and comic (satire and farce), grotesque elements makes Sukhovo-Kobylin's plays one ...

While Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized NLP, they remain prone to hallucinations, reasoning “mode-collapse” in open-ended generation, and a lack of factual provenance. The Automated Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC) workshop addresses a key missing piece of the generative era: structured knowledge. Knowledge Bases (KBs) serve as ground truth for fact verification, the semantic backbone ...

Typologies of possessive systems usually distinguish lexical and semantic splits between inalienable and alienable possession. Much less attention has been paid to the next boundary on the extended scale, namely the boundary between alienable and super-alienable possession. This article shows that Tungusic constructions with the suffix -ŋ(V) represent a semantic realization of precisely this type ...

The paper describes the system of verbs of change in the Russian language against a typological background within the frame approach to lexical typology. In Russian, this system can be qualified as dominant: the imperfective verb menyat(sya)
and its prefixed perfective derivative menyat(sya) cover most of the frames in the field. At the same time, in ...

The academic vocabulary used to describe the Iconoclastic Controversy in Byzantium includes both authentic Middle Greek lexemes and artificial terms coined in 16th–17th-century Western Europe, developed in the context of Reformation theological debates. The former category is largely represented by terms referring to the so-called Iconoclasts (εἰκονομάχοι, εἰκονοκλάσται, εἰκονοκαῦ[σ]ται), while the latter includes designations for ...

This article examines the historical semantics of the post-classical Greek word χριστιανοκατήγορος (literally, “an accuser of Christians”). While its existence in the early Byzantine period is doubtful — there is only one isolated occurrence, which had no impact on later tradition and may even be a 10th-century correction — after the Second Council of Nicaea ...

A profession of faith preserved in Princeton MS 180 (13th century, 2nd half) is wrongly indexed in the catalogue of Greek manuscripts at Princeton and the database Pinakes as an unpublished text by Germanos I, patriarch of Constantinople (715–730). Upon closer examination, it appears to be a later compilation that draws upon at least three ...

The chapter provides a reassessment of the two interpretative models used for the analysis of Palaeologan hagiography, the ‘old saints’ paradigm and the ‘metaphrasis’ paradigm. After a concise description of the sources, the argument develops in three steps. Firstly, a distinction is drawn between the two dichotomies—‘old’ vs ‘new’ saints and ‘rewritings’ vs ‘original compositions’. ...

The controversy over the confiscation of church vessels during the reign of Alexios I is referred to as ‘Komnenian Iconoclasm.’ However, its salient feature is the reluctance of both parties to accuse their opponents of Iconoclasm. Alexios’ supporters and adversaries mastered the art of periphrasis and allusion, so that the shadow of Iconoclasm loomed over ...

Scholars of Byzantine Iconoclasm treat the heresiological text entitled On councils and heresies and attributed to Germanos of Constantinople with caution, because its anti-iconoclastic chapters are considered to be later additions. Whereas the arguments in favor of the interpolation theory are inconclusive, any thorough discussion of the text’s stratigraphy, authorship, and date must be preceded ...
