Roaming Pauses in Cormac McCarthy’s The Road
This article discusses a textual feature in Cormac McCarthy’s novel The Road (2006) that has hitherto been misunderstood by the reception, namely the spaced ellipses between several paragraphs which are considered by notable McCarthy scholars to signal particularly distinct pauses in the textual flow of the novel. The article demonstrates that this is a misperception with significant consequences for the interpretation of the story’s rhythm. Draw…
Snow globes and instant coffee: Transparent Commodities and the Global Infrastructures of Late Capitalism in Contemporary Fiction
Fredric Jameson’s 1984 essay ‘Postmodernism, or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism’ famously calls for new forms of representation that can provide a better notion of the sublime world space of multinational capital. Jameson states that such aesthetic scale models are yet unrealised, but this essay argues that a number of contemporary novels, including Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven, Ben Lerner's 10:04 and works by Matias Faldbakken, S…
The First (and Second) Coming of David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest
Before the publication of Infinite Jest in 1996, no less than a dozen excerpts from Wallace’s novel had already been published in various journals and magazines. The essay presents the first complete overview of these previously neglected excerpts and analyzes how they frame Infinite Jest . Drawing on theories by Bryant, McGann and Bhaskar, the analysis shows that the excerpts function as ‘paracontent’ that occupies a gray area between self-conta…
Sous la plage, les pavés: Stranden mellem utopi og dystopi i nyere amerikansk litteratur
Throughout literary history the beach has often functioned as a utopian counterimage to the purposeful rationality which has shaped our society since the Enlightenment. However, during the 20th Century cracks and fissures have appeared in literature’s utopian ideas of and depictions of the beach. This tendency is closely aligned with the general waning of the utopian ideas that critics like Russel Jacoby find in late capitalism. At the same time,…
Cyberspace Revisited: A Radial Reading of William Gibson's “Burning Chrome”
Pay Attention! David Foster Wallace and his Real Enemies
In his 1993 interview with Larry McCaffery, David Foster Wallace famously proclaimed postmodern authors like John Barth, Thomas Pynchon and Vladimir Nabokov to be his real enemies, patriarchs for his patricide. This unambiguous statement of aesthetic intent laid down a clear set of guidelines for literary critics, and much of the subsequent critical reception of Wallace has followed the path set down by Wallace in the early 1990s. While there are…

Cross-linguistic evidence for the early acquisition of discourse markers as register variables
Discourse Markers as Indicators of Register
The speech of twenty Spanish-English bilingual children, aged six to ten, was recorded while the children engaged in pretend play with puppets in Spanish. The puppets represented a variety of characters with different social relationships. Analyses focused on the distribution of discourse markers (DMs) across the different roles played. Results indicate that these children use DMs to specifically mark differences in sta- tus and in familiarity/in…

The impact of input: Language acquisition in the visually impaired
Variation in language development between blind and sighted children may result from a diminution of experience or differences in linguistic input, or it may be a product of other factors. Researchers argue about the relative weighting of these. We examine this argument by reviewing data and findings from our studies of blind children's language and we evaluate the possible impact of input, both environmental and linguistic. We show that variatio…
The emergence process: Conceptual and linguistic influences on morphological development
This paper extends prior research on the links between cognition and semantic/pragmatic aspects of language to the more formal area of morphology, and highlights the importance of studying process in development, rather than merely looking at end products. An analysis of early morphology in three children with varying degrees of vision illustrates how acquisition is mediated by the unique circumstances of a child's language learning environment a…

Blind children's language: Resolving some differences
Although the role of visual perception is central to many theories of language development, researchers have disagreed sharply on the effects of blindness on the acquisition process: some claim major differences between blind and sighted children; others find great similarities. With audio-and video-recorded longitudinal data from six children (with varying degrees of vision) aged 0; 9–3; 4, we show that there ARE basic differences in early langu…
Cups and glasses: Learning that boundaries are vague
The boundaries of many categories, and hence the boundaries between their names, are often vague (Lehrer 1970, Labov 1973). At the same time, the child who is just learning the denotation of a word often makes ‘mistakes’ and may over-extend words to include objects that do not belong to the adult category (e.g. Clark 1973). The present study is concerned with when children learn that boundaries are vague. It was hypothesized that children would f…
