The Presence of a Text
Nobody believes the claim made in our epigraph. Even if the speaker's assertions were trivial, and especially if they were not, each listener's interpretation was inevitably different from all others, depending on cultural baggage, tacit presuppositions, vagaries of common sense, experience, intelligence, perceptions of group interaction during performance-on factors innumerable and often imponderable. Yet it is most important for a presenter wor…
The Poema del Cid and the Potentialities of Metonymy
From Latin to Spanish. Vol. 1
E sobre esto se levanto la traycion
The Rhetoric of Solidarity in the Poema del Cid
The Poema del Cid presents its message in a manner that is compelling in its apparent simplicity. Many readers have felt the poem's force, yet the means by which it is achieved still invite systematic examination from a number of vantage-points. Appreciation of the work's persuasive techniques must center on the hero. His exemplarity, his power as a model of ideal attitudes and behavior, attracts the reader, as it did the original audience, becau…
The Rain in Spain
(Tu) eres
THE phonetic match between the Latin future TU ERIS and the Castilian present tu eres is exact. The only possible objection, that the short eshould have produced a diphthong (hence *yeres), disappears in the light of the imperfect forms: era eres has met with general acceptance, some authors of historical grammars have recorded it with less than total conviction. ERIS, if retained in Spanish, would an isolated vestige, and an irregular one, of a …
Sound Symbolism and Aspect in the Spanish Second Conjugation
W HEN compared to the other two Spanish conjugations, this class exhibits a certain archaic quality.. Except for many new acquisitions in -ecer, and compounds reflecting learned influences (e.g., componer), it has not grown since it was first formed from the Latin verbs in -ERE and -ERE containing open and mid stemvowels.1 Both these types were, on the whole, unproductive already in Latin,2 whereas the first and fourth conjugations were greatly e…
Sound-Symbolism of Close Vowels in the Sonnets of Garcilaso
ELS IN THE SONNETS OF GARCILASO q THOMAS MONTGOMERY ' The harmony of sound and sense which is essential to most poetry is usually studied and appreciated as the individual, personal achievement of the poet. His medium, the language in which he composes, is taken as a given entity, from which he selects and orders to produce the linguistic sub-form known as his oeuvre. But his creation must ultimately derive from the everyday language of his socie…
An Etymology for arrimar
THE Spanish lexicon includes a number of verbs expressing nuances of the notion 'to draw near, approach, bring near' which are based on concrete metaphors. Among them, alcanzar and llegar have survived particularly well, but in the Middle Ages others were also in common use: allegarse, acostarse, ayuntarse, and several more of nautical origin: arribar 'to put to shore' meant also 'to arrive' long before it took on the stigma of a Gallicism; abord…
Iconicity and Lexical Retention in Spanish
In Spanish, most inherited stative verbs belong to the 2nd conjugation—which is characterized by mid, never close, root-vowels. This condition is a result of the interaction of several morphological and phonetic factors in Latin, and a redistribution of 2nd and 3rd conjugation verbs according to root-vowel quality. Rates of lexical retention and loss reflect the degree to which verbs fit the developing morphophonemic and semantic patterns. A type…
