Rivals for Empire
Aedui
The Aedui were arguably the most powerful people of Gaul at the end of its independence, and most prominent until the end of the empire. This was chiefly due to their situation at a premier communication node in western Europe (the watershed of the Seine, Loire, and Rhône/Saône/Doubs basins), and their early alliance with Rome (no later than the First Transalpine War, 125–121 BCE ).
Lugdunum (Lyons)
Lugdunum (“Stronghold of the god Lug”), a Roman colony established near a Celtic settlement soon after Caesar's Gallic War, became the capital of the province of Lugdunensis, and then of the Three Gauls as a whole. Located at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône, it flourished early on, but lost status to other centers after the end of the second century CE .
Rome, resistance to (Gaul)
Gaul as a whole never resisted Roman rule: its peoples, like those of the Hellenistic world, tended to put their quarrels with each other first, so that the Romans became an ally to some and consequently an enemy to others.
Gallia Narbonensis
The Romans took control of the province in southern Gaul about a century after the territories on either side (Hispania Citerior to the west, and Gallia Cisalpina to the east).
Vercingetorix
Vercingetorix (b. ca. 82–70 BCE , d. 46 BCE ) was an aristocrat of the Arverni, a people of central Gaul, leader of first localized, then generalized anti‐Roman action in 52 BCE , and, in Julius Caesar's account, his most formidable opponent in the Gallic War. The name (“High King over the Warriors”) is attested on coinage as Vercingetorixs and Vercingetorixis. Save what we glean from that coinage, almost everything we know about Vercingetorix re…
Gaul (Tres Galliae)
The rivers of Gaul, and its position west of the Alpine barrier, make it the easiest section of Europe to cross between the inner and outer seas. As a result, the “Three Gauls” — Aquita‐nia, Belgica, and Lugdunensis — were the first non‐Mediterranean regions to be incorporated into the Roman world, and came to display a highly developed provincial civilization. The geographical location of Gaul, however, also caused it to be especially exposed to…

The semantics of modal verbs
In this paper we propose an analysis of the semantic structure of modal sentences in English. Central to this analysis is the notion of 'speech act'. The notion of speech act derives principally from the work of J. L. Austin (cf. especially Austin, 1962). Austin is particularly concerned with the use of sentences like I promise to go, I bet you sixpence and I name this ship 'Queen Elizabeth' . One of his main purposes is to show that it is a mist…
Approaches in Linguistic Methodology
English imperative sentences
The fullest account of English imperative sentences considered in the context of a transformational grammar is contained in Katz & Postal (1964: 74–9). Their account forms part of a discussion of the general thesis that transformations do not affect the meaning of sentences, and of the proposal that follows as a natural corollary of this thesis, that the set of optional singulary transformations be restricted to those usually referred to as ‘styl…

Stylistics and generative grammars
The proposal that a grammar should be considered as a device which generates all and only the well-formed sentences of a language, which has already had a profound effect upon linguistics in general, has begun to exert some influence on the more particular (if less well defined) subject of stylistics. To understand this, it is necessary to consider the way in which one tests such a grammar. This includes checking that for any grammatical sentence…
