A forgotten philology
Richard Fox's More than words represents a sea change in the way we look at philology and textuality by decisively addressing a problem that was identified by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson in Metaphors we live by . In this work, Lakoff and Johnson developed the idea of conduit metaphors, the notion that thought is communicated by first being packaged and conveyed in script language and then unpackaged at the receiving end of communication. Accor…
Finding meaning in translation; A.L. Becker's “text coherence
In this article I look at two closely related examples of A.L. Becker’s work on textual coherence and how they can be used as tools for finding meaning in translation. In the first example I draw on Becker and Oka’s work on deixis in Old Javanese (1974) to elucidate the subtle shifts of spatial and temporal reference in “Sītā’s Letter,” an innovative episode in the Old Javanese Rāmāyaṇa (OJR 11:18-34). In the second example, I look at Becker’s an…

Irrealis, aspect, and complementation in Old Javanese
This article focuses on two issues in the study of the syntax and semantics of the Old Javanese: (1) the effects of irrealis on the marking of the “passive” or Undergoer Voice verb phrases of Old Javanese, and (2) the study of complementation in Old Javanese, with particular reference to a particle n/an, first studied in an article by E.M. Uhlenbeck (1986). The study is introduced with a brief survey of some of the major components of the morphos…
A New Text and Translation of Java's Rāmāyaṇa
The Poetics Of Grammar In The Javano-Balinese Tradition
This chapter begins with an illustration, a rĕrajahan , a magical diagram from the Balinese tradition, one among thousands, each designed with a specific purpose in mind. Taking this image from the Balinese cultural imagination of the early twentieth century as a starting point the author hopes to trace some of the figural elements that have developed in Javano-Balinese literary and theological traditions for a period of over a millennium. These …
The Body of the King
This article argues for a reassessment of the history of the Singhasari period based on disambiguating diverse historical sources that have often been combined to produce a seamless narrative, when in fact the textual record is marked by conflict, contradiction and ambiguity. The author proposes a basic division between the perspective of kakawin literature, which represents the interests of royal and priestly actors with a large stake in maintai…
