35 Syntactic complexity in Standard Average European: language contact and discourse traditions in the domain of communicative distance
Bert Cornillie
2,022
This chapter argues that the origins of Standard Average European (SAE) are intimately related to Eastern-influenced Biblical Latin and Germanic-influenced Carolingian Latin. Both medieval varieties combine contact patterns with grammatical complexity in highly prestigious textual traditions. Classical impacted later, as some vernaculars turned into national standard languages a whole repertoire linguistic expressions linked communicative distance. Normative traditions institutional prestige (e. g. Academies) further motivate protect legacy. Thus, features spread even periphery SAE at later stage.

Is Nuclear Anarchy Sustainable? A Temporal Approach
Yevgeny I. Uchaev|Artem Kvartalnov

The article develops a novel temporal approach to the sustainability of nuclear anarchy. extant literature offers two opposite perspectives on topic: some scholars argue that anarchy is unsustainable, since it will inevitably either lead catastrophic war or evolve into hierarchical world order. Their opponents doubt inevitability in system sovereign states and/or its nature. However, debate, as stands now, ignores fact both technology and social structures are embedded – mediated by cultures worldviews. In particular, weapons interstate specific temporalities. Taking this account, we identify compare perceptions time interrelated with weapons, one hand, international anarchy, other. reveals contradiction anarchy: while imply potential finitude humanity, intrinsically connected an indefinite temporality. We derive theoretical implications form concept contradiction. First, realization finite temporality should subvert legitimacy anarchic order encourage limitations national sovereignty.

Abandoning undesired newborn infants was a Roman form of family limitation. They were exposed or given to foster mothers. Christianization alleviated their lot when in 374 CE, Emperor Valentinian's law provided some protection. The Milan Foundling Hospital established 787 CE. When the Carolingian Empire fell apart during 10th century, monastic networks (the Holy Spirit Order and Daughters Charity) took over social support for poor, sick, insane. hospitals proliferated Italy between 13th 15th centuries, France 16th 17th, Germany Austria 18th century. Metropolitan hospices admitted thousands each year. Most not "found" but anonymously via revolving box registered an open office. Soon after admission, they transported care wet nurses villages.

The Relation between Carolingian Rulers and Border Aristocracy in the First Half of the 9th Century: Case of ‘Bernard of Septimania’
Seung Hyup Hyun
2,022
카롤루스 왕조는 믿을 수 있는 귀족들을 활용하여 급격히 팽창해나가는 왕국을 통치했다. 길렐무스 일족의 가장 먼 조상 테오도리쿠스는 마르텔루스의 사위가 된 이후에 측근이 되었으며, 그의 아들 길렐무스는 제국 남부 변경의 지배자로 부상했다. 그러나 자신의 관직을 자녀들에게 물려주지 못했는데, 이는 마그누스가 변방을 강력하게 통제하고 있었기 때문이다. 길렐무스의 아들들은 820년대 중반부터 아버지의 유산을 되찾기 시작했다. 특히 베르나르두스는 셉티마니아와 에스파냐 변경백령을 지배하는 동시에 루도비쿠스 1세의 최측근이 되어 제국의 2인자로 부상했지만 황후와의 간통 혐의로 총애를 상실하자 반란을 일으켰다. 진압한 1세는 일족이 지배하던 남부에 왕권을 확립하려 했지만, 왕가의 내분으로 인해 군주의 권위가 크게 약화되었기에 베르나르두스와 타협할 수밖에 없었다. 복권된 이전보다 더 많은 영토를 손에 넣었으나 1세 사후 서프랑크왕이 2세와 충돌하면서 몰락하고 말았다. 이 같은 흥망성쇠는 9세기 전반 프랑크 왕국 귀족집단이 중앙권력과 완전히 분리되지 않았으며, 830년부터 시작된 내분에 직접적인 영향을 받으면서 심한 부침을 겪었다는 사실을 잘 보여준다.

This late ninth century text describes establishment (in 832) early history monastery Redon, which took place within multiple, overlapping, contested borders.

Under Jewish law, the witnessing of Jesus as resurrected must occur by third-day afterdeath. Later can be corroborative, but is crucial. In Matthew andJohn, sole percipient witnesses on are women, plural in Matthew, a single woman inJohn.

Saint King Oswald of Northumbria: Overlord or Imperator? A Very Peculiar Ancestor
Giovanni Collamati

In the documentation produced by English monarchy during tenth century Latin title imperator surprisingly appears, but it is not first time that this has been associated with an insular king. Adomnán of Iona's Vita sancti Columbae (c.700), St. Oswald king Northumbria appears as totius Britanniae imperator. Oswald, one seven kings—successively called bretwaldas in Anglo-Saxon Chronicle—who would have enjoyed a certain overlordship above other kingdoms island, could be missing link connecting use eighth and centuries. Nevertheless, closer view on figure points out how he was remembered worshipped more saint-overlord than emperor. Indeed, we can distinguish two different types representation Northumbrian king’s authority: proposed (emperor Britain) second Bede (saintoverlord). article I show Bedian model had greater diffusion England following centuries, thanks to cult saint.
