Revision of the Sphaerospora Thélohan, 1892 (Myxosporea) protozoans parasitising the eel, Anguilla anguilla (L.)
No full textThe generic affiliation of protozoans described as Sinuolina gilsoni Debaisieux, 1925 is discussed. The species is transferred to the genus Sphaerospora Thélohan, 1892 and regarded as synonymous with Sinuolina gilsoni Debaisieux, 1925; Sphaerospora anguillae Wierzbicka, 1986; and Hoferellus gilsoni (Debaisieux, 1925) Lom, Dykova, 1989. In addition, the parasites Sphaerospora reichenowi Jacob, 1953 and S. sphaerocapsularae Wierzbicka, 1986 are shown to be separate species
Speaking for Bakhtin : Two Interpretations of Reported Speech. A Response to Goddard and Wierzbicka (2018)
No full textVološinov ([1929]1973) is one of the most frequently cited works in studies on reported speech, but its interpretation varies considerably between authors. Within the linguistic anthropological tradition, its central message is often conflated with Erving Goffman’s ‘speaker roles’, and in a recent publication, Goddard and Wierzbicka (2018) marry ideas they attribute to Vološinov (1973) and Mikhail M. Bakhtin to those by the formal semanticist Donald Davidson. Responding to Goddard and Wierzbicka (2018) (and a shorter version of a similar argument in (Goddard and Wierzbicka 2019)), this paper seeks to explore the philosophical foundations of reported speech research, particularly in relation to Vološinov/Bakhtin. It suggests that reported speech research is motivated by two fundamentally distinct goals, one here labelled ‘Fregean’ and the other ‘Bakhtinian’. Questions and methods used in both of these research traditions lead to two radically different understandings of reported speech. This affects the applicability of the definition of direct/indirect speech Goddard and Wierzbicka (2018) propose. It also motivates an alternative approach to reported speech advocated by the current author and others that is criticised by Goddard and Wierzbicka (2018). The article further seeks to rehabilitate the analysis of Wierzbicka (1974), which Goddard and Wierzbicka (2018) partially reject. Whereas Wierzbicka (1974) treats direct and indirect speech as constructions of English, Goddard and Wierzbicka (2018) elevate the opposition to a universal, which belies the cultural sensitivity to semantic variation the authors display in other work. The paper concludes with a brief note about the semantic status of ‘say’ in Australian languages and states that the relevance of Vološinov ([1929]1973) is undiminished, also in the light of recent developments in language description. It remains a highly original study whose implications are yet to fully impact research on reported speech.Peer reviewe

Semantik Metabahasa Versi Wierzbicka
No full textAda beberapa cara untuk menjelaskan arti atau konsep yang terkandungdalam suatu kata atau satuan kebahasaan. Salah satu cara untuk menjelaskan arti tersebut ialah dengan menterjemahkannya ke dalam bahasa lain. Untuk menjelaskan konsep-konsep yang terkandung dalam suatu kata secara lintas bahasa diperlukan alat analisis yang disebut semantik metabahasa. Alat analisis ini dinamakan metabahasa karena alat tersebut dapat digunakan untuk menganalisis konsep yang terkandung dalam suatu kata atau satuan kebahasaan yang lain dalam bahasa manapun, dan dapat menetralkan atau meminimumkan sejauh mungkin bias budaya atau bahasa tertentu. Dalam tulisan ini dikemukakan semantik metabahasa yang dikembangkan oleh Wierzbicka dan kolega-koleganya. Wierzbicka mengembangkan semantik metabahasa ini berdasarkan pada apa yang ia yakini sebagai primitif semantik yang universal (universal semantic primitives)

In the Circle of Inspiration of Anna Wierzbicka: The Cognitive Definition - 30 Years Later
No full textThe author recalls the close ties linking Professor Anna Wierzbicka with the community of linguists centered around the journal “Etnolingwistyka”/“Etnolinguistics” published in Lublin (vols. 1-30, 1988-2018) and with Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, where in 2004 she received the title of doctor honoris causa for her research into universals in different world languages and her service as a morally sensitive humanist. The complementary character between the frameworks advocated by Wierzbicka and Lublin ethnolinguists consists in the opposition to taxonomic approaches to word meaning and the adoption of the subjective reconstruction principle, which derives from Wilhelm Humboldt’s philosophy of language; in the apprecia- tion of the role of colloquial language and the intuition of the average language user; in the use of both systemic and textual data, taking into account all relevant communication features that can be supported with “linguistic evidence”; in the use of simple sentences for definitions, which are arranged in coherent, facetted sequences. Anna Wierzbicka, similarly to Lublin ethnolinguists, postulates to capture the meaning of words in the context of social life, history and national culture. In particular, the author focuses on the concept of the so-called cognitive definition. The article discusses its genesis, construction principles and the most important inspirations for its emergence; although the concept itself was created autonomously as an extension of studies on the language of folklore, independently of Anna Wierzbicka’s works, it nevertheless exhibits clear parallels to the way of thinking of the scholar from Canberra. The author of this article shows the similarities (convergences) between the cognitive definition and the NSM (Natural Semantic Metalanguage) method developed by Anna Wierzbicka on the examples of mother and gold , but it also highlights some differences, which in the case of the cognitive definition are related to the use of colloquial definientia that do not have the status of semantic “primitives” ( primes ). Finally, on the example of the concept HOME/HOUSE, the author considers new perspectives for applying the cognitive definition in comparative works undertaken within the framework of the EUROJOS seminar
La sémantique naturelle d’Anna Wierzbicka et les enjeux interculturels
No full textCet article constitue une introduction à des analyses sémantiques originales dont l’approche et les méthodes sont relativement peu connues en France. Les recherches d’Anna Wierzbicka, résolument tournées vers l’étude des faits culturels permet d’envisager les différents aspects de la communication humaine à l’aide d’un même outil de description – la métalangue sémantique naturelle (MSN). La présentation se compose de deux parties : d’abord les postulats qui fondent la théorie et la méthodologie d’Anna Wierzbicka, puis des exemples d’application.This paper is an introduction to original semantic analyses whose point of view and methods are not very well known in France. Anna Wierzbicka researches are definitely oriented to the study of the different aspects of human communication using a unique tool : the natural semantic metalanguage (NSM). This presentation is divided in two parts : we first explain the basis of Anna Wierzbicka’s theory and methodology, then, we show some applications of this theory
