Walter Pater : Reception, Rewriting, Adaptation
No full textWalter Pater: Reception, Rewriting, Adaptation revitalises the field of Pater studies at the
intersection between Italian and international critical traditions on the fin de siècle.
Much can be said on Pater in the light of recent critical pronouncements. The renewed focus on his
role as a classicist, or as a precursor of twentieth-century cultural theory, or as a sophisticated
practitioner of intertextuality, all offer material for discussion. Walter Pater: Reception, Rewriting,
Adaptation adopts these trends to read Pater’s work from the perspective of diverse forms of
intertextuality that are recurrent in his perception of past and present Western culture.
Pater was such a multifaceted author that the imbricated presence of a variety of texts, not
necessarily literary, in his writings is anything but surprising. In particular, both classical and
modern myths are a constant in his appropriations and may provide fresh ideas for further research.
Pater’s reception and rewriting of Italian culture is another underexplored topic and a main concern
of this volume. The diverse modes of appropriation here selected and combined will allow us to
gain a new appreciation of the complexity of Pater’s textuality
The place of variation in phonological theory
No full textThis paper aims to give a 'state-of-the-art' introduction to the study of phonological variation in phonological theory. The discussion is structured around the question of where variation is located in the phonological component.We start with the view that variation is strictly a property of 'late'processes, which is consistent with the phonetically gradient nature of many cases of variation. We go on to discuss evidence that variation also has characteristics of 'early' phonology: it is conditioned both by morphology and by lexical idiosyncrasy. Our theoretical focus is on constraint-based approaches to variation, in OT and related theories with numerically valued weights. We pay special attention to the interaction of the lexicon with variation, an aspect of current theories that remains underdeveloped. We also provide a formal comparison of these theories with Labovian variable rules.The publisher of the book in which this excerpt appears does not permit the archiving of this or any other version of the excerpt in the Rutgers Optimality Archive.
