The Problem of the Scholarly and Late Evidence: Anatolian Glosses in Greek.
No full textThis chapter deals with a specific type of lexical evidence—that deriving from the so-called glosses— which must be taken into consideration. In previous scholarly studies, in fact, it was often mixed with direct epigraphic evidence, even though an important epistemological difference clearly exists. In our perspective, the late evidence represents the written memory of Anatolian languages in a Greek text, considering that a target language can retain the memory of a model language for a given period for a number of different reasons that must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and which include scholarly tradition

The State of Arkansas
My name i s Sanford Barnes, I come from a Northern town,
I ' v e traveled t h i s wide world over, I've traveled t h i s wide world arornd,
Through ups and downs and miseries and some good days I ' v e saw,
But I never new what misery was ' t i l I came to Arkansas.
I landed in Ft. Smith one s u l t r y afternoon,
I stepped across the depot and I walked into a saloon,
Up stepped a living skeleton and he handed me his paw,
He said he ran the best hotel in the State of Arkansas.
I follered my conductor t o his f i n e dwelling place,
There was novelty depicted in his melancholy face,
His hair hung down in rat t a i l s on his long and lantern jaw,
He was a perty f a i r type of a l l the gents I met in Arkansas.
I st a r t e d out next morning t o catch that early t r a i n,
He says, Don't be in a hurry, lad; I ' v e got some land to drain,
I ' l l pay you 50 a day and all that you can chaw,
You'll find yourself a d i f f e r e n t man when you leave Arkansas.
Well, I worked six weeks for that son-of-a-gun, Jed Harrin was his name,
He was six foot tall in his stocking f e e t and he looked like a crane,
His bread i t was corn dodger, his meat you couldn't chaw,
And t h a t ' s the kind of hash they had in the State of Arkansas.
He fed me on corn dodgers as hard as any rock,
' T i l a l l my t e e t h began to loose, my knees began to knock,
I got so thing on Sassafras tea I could hide behind a straw,
Indeed I was a different man when I l e f t Arkansas.
Farewell t o these swamp angels, to cane breaks and c h i l l s,
Farewell t o sage and sassafras and t o corn dodger p i l l s,
I'm going to the Indian Nation, going to marry me a squaw,
So, catch me back there if you can in the S t a t e of Arkansas.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
Late Languages of Marginal Attestation: Pamphylian, Sidetic, and Pisidian.
No full textIn this section, we introduce three languages attested in a circumscribed geo-
graphical area located roughly in the central part of southern Anatolia: Pamphylian, Sidetic, and Pisidian, which are presented in order of relevance to
the study of language contact. These languages pose a number of problems
in terms of documentation, interpretation of texts, and genealogical filiation.
However, they also provide some interesting data for the study of language contact.
Pamphylian is a Greek dialect, but, unlike other Greek dialects, its documentation includes only epigraphic evidence (and plausibly some glosses in
scholarly tradition); no literary texts have come down to us. Sidetic and Pisidian are Anatolian languages and probably belong to the Luwic branch. They are
also attested only by epigraphs, which mostly include personal names.
Their chronology is not entirely consistent: whereas Pamphylian and Sidetic
display coeval documentation and plausibly were in contact with each other,
Pisidian documentation is significantly later
The Mediterranean Interface: Anatolia and the Aegean in the Bronze Age
No full textIn this chapter we will discuss some of the most relevant issues, questions, and problems related to the Mediterranean interface. In particular, we ask what can be said on the linguistic and cultural situation existed before the appearance of the alphabetic Greek and to what extent this is relevant in possible contacts with Anatolia and Anatolian languages. Pre-Greek is introduced following the main themes and outstanding issues (Section 2); then Mycenaean in its relations with Anatolia is discussed (Section 3). The Pre-Greek issue, in the history of research, has also been connected to the concept of substrate. If Pre-Greek is definable as a substrate, it represents one special situation, on which studies have abounded for over 120 years (see Section 2.1) during a period in which linguistic data, cultural references, and metalinguistic settings have changed. The main research question is to find an explanation for those non-Greek elements within the Greek vocabulary that resist a genuine Greek or Indo-European etymological explanation pointing to a substrate language (or group of languages) about which there are no other ways of acquiring knowledge because they are not attested. The issue concerning the existence and the definition of a linguistic substrate, geographically located in the eastern Mediterranean and possibly spread in Asia Minor, has been developed in parallel with the quest for the reconstruction of the history (and prehistory) of Indo-European languages in the areas of interest—in other words, the history and prehistory of Greek and the languages of the Anatolian branch
Characterization of FERM domain proteins, Merlin and Moesin, in Drosophila
No full textMerlin and the ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) proteins are key organizers of the cell cortex through linking membrane-associated proteins to the underlying actin cytoskeleton. Merlin and the ERM proteins have been implicated in the maintenance of cell integrity, adhesion, and motility during tissue development and organization. Functional redundancies between the ERM proteins remain a challenge to further elucidating ERM protein function in mammals. Furthermore, the precise mechanisms underlying the tissue-specific defects associated with the loss of merlin still remain unclear. Thus, we use Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism to further investigate the functional significance of Merlin and Moesin, the single Drosophila orthologues of merlin and the ERM proteins. Biochemical studies have demonstrated that mammalian merlin interacts with ezrin-binding phosphoprotein 50 (EBP50), which is an essential scaffold protein in ERM-mediated membrane organization. However, the functional significance of the merlin and EBP50 interaction still remains unclear. We used Drosophila as a model organism to further characterize the interaction between Merlin and Sip1, the Drosophila orthologue of EBP50. We found that Merlin and Sip1 genetically interact. In vitro binding assays showed that the α-helical domain of Merlin was important for Sip1 binding. Specifically, mutation of two conserved arginine residues within the α-helical domain of Merlin reduced binding to Sip1 and altered Merlin subcellular localization and trafficking in Drosophila wing epithelia and cell culture. When Merlin with reduced binding to Sip1 was expressed in the adult wings, the area of the wing region increased. Furthermore, reduced Merlin and Sip1 binding led to defects in epithelial organization in the follicle cell epithelium surrounding the developing oocyte. These findings suggest that Merlin and Sip1 binding is important for growth inhibition and epithelial organization in Drosophila. As the loss of merlin is associated with the development of central nervous system tumours in humans, the functional significance of Drosophila Merlin was further investigated in a neuronal context. Within the Drosophila optic lobe, neuroepithelial cells differentiate into neural progenitors or neuroblasts, which give rise to the neurons essential for the adult visual system. Multiple signaling pathways have been linked to neuroepithelial cell proliferation and differentiation. We found that both Merlin and Sip1 localized to the neuroepithelial cells and neuroblasts within the developing optic lobe. Loss of Merlin and Sip1 led to defects in optic lobe development. Although the mechanisms still remain largely unknown, these findings suggest that Merlin and Sip1 may regulate neuroepithelial cell proliferation or differentiation. Drosophila neuroblast asymmetric cell division requires an intact actomyosin network for anchoring polarity proteins to the cell cortex and maintaining cell size asymmetry. However, the mechanisms that regulate actomyosin dynamics during neuroblast asymmetric cell division have not been extensively studied. We found that Moesin is essential for neuroblast proliferation and mitotic progression in the developing brain. During metaphase, phosphorylated Moesin (p-Moesin) was enriched at the apical cortex and loss of Moesin led to defects in apical polarity maintenance and cortical stability. This asymmetric distribution of p-Moesin was regulated by components of the apical polarity complex. During early anaphase, p-Moesin remained enriched at the apical cortex, which appeared to contribute to asymmetric cortical extension and myosin basal furrow positioning. Therefore, our findings reveal Moesin as a novel apical polarity protein that drives cortical remodelling of dividing neuroblasts, essential for polarity maintenance and initial establishment of cell size asymmetry. Together, this work provides further insight into the role of Merlin and Moesin in cell or tissue organization during Drosophila development
