Boats, Beginnings, And Repetitions, Alan Goff

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Ancient texts are too often approached using modern assumptions. Among those assumptions obstructing an understanding of ancient texts is the modern emphasis on originality and on writing as intellectual property. Ancient writers relished repetition—stories that were repeated in succeeding generations—over originality. The Bible is full of repeated or allusive stories, and the Book of Mormon often reinscribes this biblical emphasis on repetition. One such biblical reverberation in the Book of Mormon is Nephi’s ocean voyage, which evokes biblical stories of origination: creation, deluge, and exodus. These three stories of beginnings are carefully alluded to in Nephi’s own foundational story, exactly …

Emil Staiger, Basic Concepts Of Poetics, Edward K. Berggren

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Originally published in · 1946, Staiger's Basic Concepts of Poetics is ostensibly an alternative introduction to traditional theories of poetics and genre criticism. However, the work actually proposes an entire reconceptualization of these theories, linking them to a more "fundamental" philosophical and anthropological project which, Staiger tells us, might more appropriately read as a work of philosophical anthropology attempting to answer the question, "What is man?" Its answer comes by way of an investigation of the existential world of poetics, because he sees poetics as one of our primary openings onto Being as well as an expression of humankind's most …

Sound Symbolic Involvement, Janis B. Nuckolls

Faculty Publications

This article examines an iconic form of communication, sound symbolism, which has been associated with oral cultures and implicated in paradigms of primitive mentality, I argue that Lowland Ecuadorean Quechua speakers use sound symbolic iconicity to create interlocutionary involvement. A speaker's performative foregrounding of a sound symbolic form simuhtes the salient qualities of an action, event, or process, and thereby invites a listener to project into an experience. This projected involvement, in turn, points the listener to deeper kinds of imaginative, intellectual, and emotional engagement with the narrative. The argument is based on an analysis of the formal and semantic …

Zonificación Dialectal Del Español En América, Orlando Alba

Faculty Publications

La dicotomia que opone «el espanol de America» a «el espanol de Espana» ha sido acunada desde hace mucho tiempo por diversos investigadores de la dialectologia hispanica. En el fondo, tales designaciones son inapropiadas en cuanto que se basan en una suposicion: la existencia de dos realidades o entidades linguisticas unitarias, susceptibles de ser clasificadas o encasilladas dentro de categorias homogeneas. lmplican, de hecho, un grado elevado de generalizacion que simplifica exageradamente la variada realidad linguistica del extenso mundo hispanohablante. Una ligera observacion de los aspectos rigurosamente estudiados hasta ahora de la lengua hablada en el Nuevo Continente permite descubrir …

Abortion: The Rights Of Whom?, Jennifer Ferguson, Yvette Young

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review

The morality of abortion is not as pressing a question as whether a woman has a right to an abortion based on the rights granted her in the ninth and fourteenth amendments. Morality cannot be completely extricated from the issue of abortion. Nonetheless, the constitutional rights determine the legality of abortion, thus having the greatest effect on the woman and her fetus. Two questions must therefore be addressed: first, what are the rights of the woman as stated in the Constitution? second, what are the rights of the fetus?
