Kings of Oxen and Horses
Optionality, Complexity, Difficulty
We could not agree more with the general spirit of the article by Bult, Housen, and Pallotti.We especially applaud the fundamentally important analytical distinction between complexity and difficulty.Our only worry is that the article (like much of the literature that it reviews) largely ignores variation and optionality, that is, alternation phenomena that allow or force language users to choose between "structurally and/or lexically different w…
Animacy effects in the English genitive alternation
Recent years have seen a heightened interest in the interface between language use and cognition in language learners. In this study, we investigate this interface further by conducting a rating task experiment on the intuitions of 25 native speakers and 101 low–intermediate to advanced learners of English as a Foreign Language regarding the acceptability of the genitive variants ( the beauty of nature/nature’s beauty ) in different contexts. The…
ˆDåajmijes vuekie
The South Sami concept of dåajmijes vuekie is used to discuss a nuanced system of evaluative norms operating in Sami culture, past and present, in relation to objects, behavior, and activities. Where Western aesthetics may focus on surface appearance, dåajmijes vuekie emphasizes effective action in relation to practical needs, social interaction, and ethics. The authors suggest that evaluative norms associated with Sami traditional knowledge and …

Popular Religion and Shamanism
Popular Religion and Shamanism addresses two areas of religion within Chinese society; the lay teachings that Chinese scholars term folk or “popular” religion, and shamanism. Each area represents a distinct tradition of scholarship, and the book is therefore split into two parts. Part I: Popular Religion discusses the evolution of organized lay movements over an arc of ten centuries. Its eight chapters focus on three key points: the arrival and i…
Popular Religion and Shamanism
Sanctity in the North
Sanctity in the North features English translations of texts from Latin or vernacular Nordic languages, in many cases for the first time. The accompanying essays complement the translations and reflect the contributors' own disciplinary groundings in folklore, philology, medieval, and religious studies
The Sacred Village
Until recently, few villagers of rural North China ventured far from their homes. Their intensely local view of the world included knowledge of the immanent sacred realm, which derived from stories of divine revelations, cures, and miracles that circulated among neighboring villages. These stories gave direction to private devotion and served as a source of expert information on who the powerful deities were and what role they played in the human…
