Linguistic polyphony is an utterance act theory (la linguistique de l’énonciation) and is a French specialty. It deals with the numerous points of view that are likely to be communicated through an utterance. The book introduces utterance act theory and polyphony as such, but most especially focuses on the Scandinavian variant of polyphony, ScaPoLine. ScaPoLine is a formal linguistic theory whose main purpose is to specify the instructions conveyed through linguistic form for the creation of polyphonic meaning. The theoretical introduction is followed by polyphonic analyses of linguistic phenomena such as negation, mood, modality and connectors, and of textual phenomena such as represented discourse and irony. The book suggests how ScaPoLine could offer new insights within cross-linguistic and interdisciplinary studies.

Spaces of Polyphony covers a lot of ground. It echoes the voices of researchers and their informants from many different places and backgrounds. Among the variety of languages under study and methodological approaches there is also a common ground and narrative thread underpinning the polyphonic chorus of the contributors. From a shared starting point of discourse analysis and inspiration from Bakhtin, the various authors span from East to West, from Moscow to Texas, from Romania and Czech Republic to Mexico. They look into all ages, starting from early childhood, and many walks of life, ranging from casual chatting among relatives to parliamentary speeches and TV shows, including formal education, literary inner monologue and translation. Irony, humour and self-awareness are recurrent themes. The array of voices and dialogism studied in this book is such that it even includes the silent (silenced) voices of people forced to express their heritage by weaving their discourse.

The Language of the Modes provides a study of modes in early music through eight essays, each dealing with a different aspects of modality. The volume codifies all known theoretical references to mode, all modally ordered musical sources, and all modally cyclic compositions. For many music students and listeners, the "language of the modes" is a deep mystery, accustomed as we are to centuries of modern harmony. Wiering demystifies the modal world, showing how composers and performers were able to use this structure to create compelling and beautiful works. This book will be an invaluable source to scholars of early music and music theory. in early music through eight essays, each dealing with a different aspects of modality.

The goal of this volume is to examine academic discourse (AD) from cross-linguistic and cross-cultural perspectives. The adjective "Cross-cultural" in the volume title is not just limited to national contexts but also includes a cross-disciplinary perspective. Twelve scientific fields are under scrutiny in the articles. One of the unique aspects of the volume is the inclusion of a variety of foreign languages (English (as a lingua franca), Spanish, French, Swedish, Russian, German, Italian, and Norwegian). Besides, in several articles dealing with oral AD, comparisons and parallels are also established with written AD. The research methodologies used in the studies are varied and they offer an overview of the diversity and richness of approaches to AD. All in all, it is hoped that the volume appeals not only to young researchers but also to confirmed scholars interested in cross-linguistic and cross-cultural aspects of AD. It will also be of interest to language teachers or teachers who are involved with e.g. international students and academic mobility.

"This dissertation takes as its subject the complete corpus of Venetian-language polyphony printed in Italy during the 1560s and '70s, investigating issues of language and genre, ethnic and transnational identity, musical and literary parody, and the relationship of written music to extemporaneous performance.Chapter 1 examines a number of issues relating to dialect music in Renaissance Italy, and through Charles Ferguson's concept of linguistic triglossia and Benedetto Croce's concept of letteratura dialettale riflessa, which provide an overarching theoretical framework. Questions posed and addressed in this chapter include: what is the Venetian language, and how does it relate structurally and sociologically to contemporary linguistic systems? What is the relationship between language, dialect, and musical genre in Italian music prints?Chapter 2 seeks to individuate the key elements that set Venetian-language works apart from those in other dialects. Compositions for four or more voices are shown to occupy a cultural and musical space more closely approximating that of the madrigal than do other dialect works, as befitting the special status of the language in Venice. Questions posed and addressed in this chapter include: How are the giustiniane of the 1570s related to the late fifteenth-century genre of the same name? What are the musically defined subgenres of Venetian-language polyphony, and how do they reflect upon corresponding subgenres of the madrigal? How are Venetian works registrally and technically distinct from other dialect works by the same composers? How is compositional craft used as a signifier of the collocation of Venetian in an intermediate cultural space?Chapter 3 examines the musical legacy of the Venetian poet Andrea Calmo, whose stage performances and verse publications inspired two anthologies of three-voice giustiniane and the first collection of four-voice works published by Lodovico Agostini. Questions posed and addressed in this chapter include: How did poets and composers negotiate the conversion of text and music in the high style into dialect genres? How were such dialect parodies situated within the broader tradition of improvised recitation and performance in both theatrical and informal contexts?Chapter 4 examines the musical legacy of Calmo's frequent associate Antonio Molino, whose stage performances and verse publications inspired the so-called greghesche: polyphonic songs that employed the Venetian language as spoken by ethnic Greeks. Multiple lines of evidence tie the composition and performance of these works to the salon of the patrician Domenico Venier. Questions posed and addressed in this chapter include: why are two of the five surviving polyphonic laments for Adrian Willaert included in a collection of dialect music? Who are the two female singers frequently referenced in the 1564 primo libro? How does Molino's own first book of madrigals, published four years later, serve to situate the earlier anthology within the tradition of informal improvisation?Finally, the conclusion of this dissertation reflects on the many recurring threads that have a resonance beyond the particular corpus on which it is focused. These are connected to recent developments in the critical framework of multimodality, and may help to provide a way forward in the analysis of other repertoires that present similar questions to the scholarly investigator." --

The overall aim of this book is the application of stylistic theories and frameworks to literary texts for a deeper level of interpretation. For this purpose the author conducted an analysis based upon the concepts of 'polyphony' and 'focalization' of three novels from different literary periods commonly labeled 'Pre-modernism', 'Modernism', and 'Postmodernism', namely, George Eliot's Middlemarch (1871-2), Joseph Conrad's Nostromo (1904), and Saul Bellow's Herzog (1964). Inspired by the work of Russian linguist-philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin the author attempts to clarify stylistically how polyphony is textualized in each novel and how each mode of polyphony reflects less parochial literary and cultural trends.

This book represents the physical outcome of the symposium “Academic Voices in Contrast”, organised at the University of Bergen, Norway, in May 2006. The symposium, focusing on recent research within the field of academic discourse, was initiated and organised by the KIAP project (Cultural Identity in Academic Prose; see www.uib.no/kiap/). In this project, a special focus has been put on the study of the voice(s) of the academic author, in the doubly contrastive perspective of language and discipline. A narrow selection of distinguished scholars were invited to participate at the symposium. They were asked to address issues related to “traditional” linguistic versus contextual approaches or to interlingual and interdisciplinary similarities and differences in academic discourse. By the papers of the following, the symposium and the present book constitute a clear advancement of the research on academic discourse: M. A. A. Ariza, L. Berge, M. Bondi, S. V. Bonn, S. Carter-Thomas, T. Dahl, K. Fløttum, A. M. Gjesdal, F. Grossmann, K. Hyland, T. Kinn, L. Lundquist, A. Mauranen, M. Pabón, E. Rowley-Jolivet, F. Salager-Meyer, P. Shaw, J. M. Swales, J.L.

This book brings together academics and practitioners from a range of disciplines from more than twenty countries to reflect on the growing importance of transparency, power and control in our international community and how these concerns and ideas have been examined, used and interpreted in a range of national and international contexts. Contributors explore these issues from a range of overlapping concerns and perspectives, such as semiotic, sociolinguistic, psychological, philosophical, and visual in diverse socio-political, administrative, institutional, as well as legal contexts. The collection examines the ways in which 'actors' in our society - legislators, politicians, activists, and artists - have provoked public discourses to confront these issues.

Literature from the French-speaking Caribbean is renowned for the heterogeneity in language writers use to question the relationship between the oral tradition and writing, the stories of the people in the face of official chronicles of the region, and the place of writing in relationship with other cultural discourses. In this dissertation, I radically question what type of heterogeneity in language the writer utilizes to problematize these varying questions. Authors from the region have been popularly praised for the linguistic heterogeneity or opposition between the 'higher' French and 'lower' Creole languages. But literary critics have also remarked other forms of heterogeneity in language in French Caribbean literature: the plurality and diversity of points of view certain writers employ; the multiple and irreducible voices some make heard; the heterogenous discourses different writers bring into 'dialogue'; as well as often overshadowed topics such as the relations between sexes or what the male-dominated, post-colonial ‘counter-narratives' leave unseen and unheard. In the individual chapters of this dissertation, I've selected four novels which exemplify or embody four different types of heterogeneity in language. Patrick Chamoiseau's award-winning novel has been touted as a 'polyphonic' novel of a collective voice. Utilizing linguistic polyphony, I examine Texaco in terms of the kinds of relations between heterogeneous 'voices' as well as how each is constructed. I demonstrate that the 'collective' voice is globally hierarchical and each so-called voice is reducible to a transparent point of view. Édouard Glissant's both severely criticized and vociferously celebrated novel has also been considered a novel of the collectivity. In the second chapter of the dissertation, I draw on research from the margins of the paradigmatic model of polyphony in linguistics to study both the relations and the constructions of particular voices in Mahagony. I find that hierarchical structures in the novel only function locally within individual chapters but that the structure of the novel largely relates each narrator non-hierarchically. Further, transparency is subverted by the obscurity of disparate points of view and transcended by the opacity of heterogeneous, irreducible voices. L'Isolé soleil has been positively embraced as an 'intertextual' novel which rewrites diverse, aesthetic, historical, and political discourses. I examine the heterogeneity of the texts and discourses Daniel Maximin uses in relation to characters in the novel who 'dialogue' with them. In the dissertation's third chapter, I argue that the literary notion of intertextuality is too restrained and the novel requires the notion of inter-discourse in dialogism to fully grasp the discursive heterogeneity. Nonetheless, I also show that the relation between writing and dialogism is overwhelmingly inter-discursive or dominated by a retrospective and hierarchical, asymmetrical relationship. Suzanne Dracius' novel challenges the triumphant, 'masculinist' image in aesthetic and political novels and manifestos from the region. I examine L'Autre qui danse in terms of dialogism's triple orientation: inter-discursivity, auto-discursivity, and inter-locution. I demonstrate that the novel puts center stage inter-locutivity or the heterogeneity in language introduced by an empathic, prospective, dissymmetric relation with interlocutors.
