Soft cover. Condition: New. 33 pages : 24 cm. In 2005 the Birkeland Lecture was included in a one day seminar organized as part of the celebration of Hydro's (and Yara's) 100 years anniversary. Apart from this anniversary, 2005 was also a special year since it was decreed as the World Year of Physics by the United Nations, and Kristian Birkeland was honored by the Norwegian Committee to represent Norwegian physics and the Norwegian physicists in this year. Hence the seminar was also a celebration of the person Kristian Birkeland, who probably is the internationally best known Norwegian physicist. The topic for the seminar was Kristian Birkeland as scientist, innovator and industry founder, and Dr. William J. Burke was invited to speak about Kristian Birkeland's message from the Sun - its meaning then and now.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 104 pages. Norwegian exhibits several possessive constructions. An NP internal possessor can be linked to the head noun in different ways, and it can occupy a prenominal or postnominal position. This book describes the most common possessive constructions in written and spoken Norwegian, and analyzes the various types. The theoretical framework is the Government and Binding (GB) Theory. GB Theory is a branch of transformational grammar, developed by Noam Chomsky and other linguists from 1980 and onwards. Especially during these last years, studies of Scandinavian languages have contributed a lot to the development of the theory and to a better understanding of the nature of natural languages. The analyses of the possessive constructions presented here, shows both that GB Theory is a useful tool for gaining insights into the structure of Norwegian, and that some modifications of the theory are needed when these constructions are considered.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 64 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour) ; 24 cm. In a seminal lecture, Osborn Bergin (one of the great editors of the genre) expressed his regret that the horizons of the poets had not been widened by the freshening influences of the Renaissance and this has in some measure set the tone for future assessments of the genre. In an attempt to redress the balance, I recently examined a short poem by Giolla Brighde Ó hEódhasa and demonstrated how it drew on sound humanist principles in order to address fundamental reformation and counter-reformation issues. And in the present talk, I wish to build on this by looking at two other poems by the same poet which cannot be understood, I will contend, unless they are placed firmly within the context of Renaissance and humanist moral and ethical thinking.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 94 pages ; 21 cm. Apophaticism in Theology and LiteratureThe five essays collected in this volume are all concerned with ambiguity in the role of language. On the one hand it limits and restricts a subject, on the other hand it is our fundamental means of explaining or representing that same subject matter. Is not the only alternative silence? Or does silence rather represent a collapse of meaning? Consciousness of the inadequacy or limitation of language in expressing truth or ultimate meaning - whether it be of a theological, philosophical or literary nature - is closely related to the concept of apophaticism: an apophatic attitude to language involves an attempt to transcend language. Three of the essays focus on Christian authors of Antiquity and the Middle Ages, two are concerned with modern writers. Through ample use of examples the contributors show how poets as well as writers of theological treatises struggle in their different ways with these dilemmas of representation.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 132 pages ; 21 cm. Names of Islamic groups in Bulgaria (Turks, Pomaks, Turkish Gypsies and Tatars) have been subjected to a number of renaming campaigns during this century, the last of these (1984-85) provoking a massive exodus of more than 300,000 Bulgarian Turks, Pomaks and Roma ( Gypsies ) to Turkey in June - July 1989, and precipitating the political changes in the country in November of the same year. The book presents a systematic analysis of the name behaviour of a Bulgarian Muslim (Pomak) group after changes in Bulgarian name laws were introduced in 1990. The material is based on field studies carried out by an international research team in 1990-1992. The book also touches on aspects of Turkish and Roma ( Gypsy ) name behaviour after the changes of 1989.Tromsø Studies in Linguistics 15.

Soft cover. Condition: New. A second sequel to the Marstrander lecture. Description: 81 pages : colour illustrations ; 24 cm. The aims of this libellus are essentially threefold. In its latter part, I wish to provide a critique of Giolla Brighde Ó hEódhasa s Truagh cor chloinne hÁdhaimh, a poem which casts light on the philosophical and psychological assumptions of its age and offers fascinating insights into the author s compositional and translational techniques. The poem offers a rendering of a Latin original that belongs to the genre known as Contemptus Mundi or Contempt for the world , in the Irish tradition Tarcaisne an tSaoghail. It is, moreover, a piece that demonstrates Giolla Brighde s unsurpassed ability to render the spirit of an original with remarkable compression, combining fidelity of rendition with, when necessary, a degree of judicious licence. Before doing so, however, I wish to elucidate the moral and intellectual context of that poem by bringing into focus pertinent sections of Truagh liomsa, a chompáin, do chor, another of Giolla Brighde s poems which, with a total of ninety verses, is rather too lengthy for close exposition here; the principal connection between these two poems being the combined light they shed on Northern Renaissance views of the human condition. The overall purpose of the work is, I should add, to explore the extent to which the mind of this Irish poet was moulded by the philosophical thinking of his age.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 127 pages. This volume of Tromsø Studies in Linguistics deals with theoretical and practical aspects of doctor-patient communication analysis. Two different and much used approaches to the analysis of doctor-patient communication are compared and contrasted, one social psychological (Bales Interaction Process Analysis/Byrne and Long s method), the other sociolinguistic (Conversation Analysis). The discussion emphasises central themes in doctor-patient communication research, such as power relations and outcomebased research. In addition, various approaches to the collecting, coding and analysing of data are discussed. Rolf Wynn (born 1968) is now finishing medical school. He has previously (1993) obtained a cand. philol. degree in English (linguistics) and has now received a grant to do a PhD thesis within the field of doctor-patient communication analysis.

After my retirement I have found time to prepare an edition of the tracts Of Confession, Of Pseudo-Friars, and Of Dominion, all three linguistically linked to the previous three tracts. These six tracts are probably the most likely to be associated with the name of John Wyclif. I base this assertion on my linguistic examination of them. The editions are meant for linguistic study, and they should be judged accordingly.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 130 pages : 24 cm. The main purpose of these studies about Sylvia Plath is to bring us back to a close reading of her poems as works of art, not primarily as specimens in an attempt to get at her character and her life. Of particular concern is to show in detail how she uses non-realistic devices, which make up an important part of her poetic profile. The author also shows how Plath?s sense of humor, so often neglected by critics, can be expressed, for example by the use of slang. One essay focuses on her as a woman poet and tests the relevance of feminist theories about socio-economic and cultural conditions for her and her predecessor Emily Dickinson?s work. A concluding essay analyses and assesses the biographical treatment of the poet and, among other things, examines how biographers have interpreted the relationship between her life and her poetry.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 172 p. ; 21 cm. The focus of the present study is the subject modifier in sentences like She sadly read the letter. In this type of construction Present English (i.e. 20th-century English) seems to prefer adverbs; it appears, however, that historically other elements are used as well. It has been claimed that the Early Modern English period (c. 1500-1700) is generally a transitional period in terms of adverbial usage. The present study tries to determine whether Early Modern English adverb usage is unstable with respect to the function in question. The book also dicusses how the relevant function is realized in Present Norwegian, as well as in some earlier types of English. Additionally, topics such as adverbial orientation and distribution are touched upon, and these two factors in combination are claimed to partly explain the adverbialization of the construction discussed.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 145 pages ; 24 cm. This book discusses three features of 17th century English, viz initial adverbial clauses, conjuncts and the noun phrase. All three chapters make use of the material collected for Bækken 2003, which is a corpus study based on approximately 2,500 pages of running text, giving just under 11,000 examples collected from three different parts of the 17th century and four different text categories, viz descriptive prose , religious prose , letters and history . The two chapters concerned with adverbials testify to a longitudinal increase in the use of sentence- initial elements which are only loosely connected with the rest of the sentence in which they occur. This is noticeable above all in the case of conjuncts, the use of which increases significantly across the 17th century. Of considerable interest is also the fact that in diachronic studies word order may help to distinguish between conjuncts and the category of adjuncts, the two categories being often difficult to keep apart. Also in the discussion of the noun phrase word order is an important aspect, as the results indicate that complements, which normally occur postverbally, are more likely to contain the heavier elements, while preverbal subjects will be lighter, both features in agreement with the general word order tendencies in English.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 205 pages. The three tracts presented in this volume are the most certain to be Wyclif s of all the sixty or more earlier attributed to him. They are all dated in the Middle English Dictionary (MED) within his lifetime, the earliest -c1378, the latest -c1384; they all contain subject-matter very much connected with his ideas and way of thinking; and they all have linguistic features that single him out, when taken together, as the author of the texts. The first of the three, De Officio Pastorali (O-Pastor for short), was edited by F. D. Matthew for the Early English Text Society (EETS) in 1880 from MS Ashburnham XXVII (now in the John Rylands Library Manchester). This is the only known copy of the text. The second tract, De Papa (Papa for short), from c1380 (MED), was also edited by Matthew in the same volume as O-Pastor from the same MS. No other known copy of the text exists. The third and last of the tracts, Of the Church and Her Members (Church for short), was edited by Thomas Arnold in Select English Works by Wyclif (Oxford University Press 1869-71) from MS Bodley 788. Four other copies of the text are known, one in Dublin, one in Leicester, two in London. Variants from these four will be found with the text. Studia Anglistica Norvegica 5.

In the early English grammar-books, word-formation tends to be split between grammar and the lexicon, but in the present monograph it is studies in its own right. The main part of the book is taken up by an alphabetical list of entries clarifying technical terms (e.g. antimeria, decompound, mule-words), the use and status of affixes (e.g. -ful, -hood, -like and rival forms such as -ance:-ence, de-:dis-, in-:un-), problems and principles of classification (cf., e.g., composition, derivation, etymology), and various other topics in the realm of theory or usage. The entries run to anything from two or three lines (e.g. de-, -ity, with-) to several pages (e.g. hyphen, inseparable, sound-symbolism). The Introduction sums up the state of the art and includes a discussion of method, a guide to the use of the Dictionary, comments on its sources (156 in all), and lists of entries, literary texts quoted by the grammarians, labels ( affected , corrupt , obsolete , etc.), and findings. On the normative side, the book is a follow-up to A Dictionary of English Normative Grammar 1700-1800 (Amsterdam/Philadelphia: Benjamins, 1991). Studia Anglistica Norvegica 7.

This book presents the material of the Orton Corpus, which is a collection of dialect material from Northumberland, Tync and Wear, and County Durham, recorded in the period 1928-1939 as part of a survey of the phonology of Northumbrian dialects. The project was initiated and directed by Harold Orton, who later became co-founder (with Eugen Dieth of Zürich) and director of the Survey of English Dialects, and the collection is named after him. The material of this extensive corpus is now published for the first time. The introduction contains an outline of the history of Orton´s Northumbrian survey, an overview of localities and informants, and a description of the sources and the nature of the material. There is also a thorough discussion of editorial principles as well as explanations of the phonetic transcription and the method of presentation. The main part of the book is an alphabetical dictionary of the material of the Orton Corpus. The dictionary includes over 8000 headwords and some 46000 phonetic entries, and contains a wealth of information about traditional Nortumbrian speech at a time when it remained relatively unaffected by outside influence. The material constitutes an indispensable source of reference for scholars and others with an interest in the pronunciation of Northumbrian English, and of Northern English in general. Kurt Rydland is professor of English Language in the Department of English at the University of Bergen.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 67 pp. The objective of this book is to study grave memorials as cultural expressions of the time in which they were erected. The period under study extends from the early 1800s, when permanent grave memorials began to be erected at cemeteries in Sweden, to the 1900 s. The analysis concentrates on the following aspects of the topic: materials, social differences, gender, age, view on life/afterlife, protection, anonymity-collectivity- individuality. As a result of the analysis of messages on grave memorials, the author also addresses cultural heritage issues: what should be selected and defined as cultural heritage and thus should be preserved and made available for posterity?.

A harmonic relationship and one characterized by conflict are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Harmony, latent conflicts and open conflicts replace each other during different decades.

This publication presents the most important features of the folk-life artist Carl Gustaf Bernhardson s paintings to an international audience and places the paintings in their social and cultural context. The life style and world of ideas among Bohuslän s coastal inhabitants of past ages have been visualized for posterity in these many paintings by an artist who knew this culture intimately. His own world of ideas, largely unknown during his lifetime, has now become accessible due to the many notebooks and poems that he left at his death. Women, environmental commitments, a longing for freedom, a belief in fate and a lofty self-image have shown themselves to be essential features of his inner world.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 129 p. ; 24 cm. Diseases do not naturally respect boundaries. Although their origins may be local, their diffusion often becomes international, borne by trade, war and other modes of human or animal contact. Combatting disease or promoting health is thus an international and a local matter. In the twentieth century international health organizations, both public and private, have greatly influenced the formulation of state health policies throughout the world. The day-to-day practice of health care, however, is carried out at the local level. International and local approaches to health and health care thus interact dynamically, and the relationship is characterized by a variety of tensions. This volume contains a selection of the papers presented at the 2010 Bergen workshop on the history of health and medicine, organized by the Department of Archeology, History, Cultural Studies and Religion at the University of Bergen. The contributions discuss the activities of the League of Nations Health Organization and the International Health Division of the Rockefeller Foundation; the role of public health experts in Spain; aspects of health care for the mentally ill in Britain, Germany and Norway; the medical otherness of women; and the international and local response to bacterial invasion and colonization.
