Studi Slavistici XIX (2022) 1 Der diatribische Stil bei Kosmas dem Presbyter und Grigorij Camblak The diatribe is a mode of exposition that grew out of the teaching of the popular philosophers of the Hellenistic and Roman period. It was adopted by St. Paul in his epistles and by the Church Fathers, first of all by John Chrysostom. In a diatribe, the author presents his thoughts in the form of an argumentative dialogue with an imaginary interlocutor; moreover, this dialogue is not narrated, but acted out, the author speaking both on behalf of himself and his opponent. Some characteristic features of the diatribe are the frequent use of the parenthetical φησί ‘says (the imaginary opponent)’, the formulas τί οὖν ‘what then?’ (to introduce a false conclusion) and μὴ γένοιτο ‘far be it from me’ (to reject it), questions such as asὁρᾷς ‘don’t you see?’ and vocatives such as ἄνθρωπε ‘man’.

Old Russian Birchbark Letters: A Pragmatic Approach. Leiden 2018 Auteur: Simeon Dekker This study aims at providing a further linguistic assessment of the birchbark letters in terms of their function and use. The perspective of the study is to view the birchbark letters not just as the texts themselves, but in the light of the communicative event as a whole.

Dutch Contributions to the Sixteenth International Congress of Slavists. Linguistics (2018) Editeurs et éditrices: Egbert Fortuin, Peter Houtzagers, und Janneke Kalsbeek Every five years, on the occasion of the International Congress of Slavists, a volume appears that presents a comprehensive overview of current Slavic linguistic research in the Netherlands. Like its predecessors, the present collection covers a variety of topics: Bulgarian and Polish aspectology (Barentsen, Genis), Slavic historical linguistics (Kortlandt, Vermeer), pragmatics of tense usage in Old Russian (Dekker), dialect description (Houtzagers), L2 acquisition (Tribushinina & Mak), Russian foreigners’ speech imitation (Peeters & Arkema), corpus-based semantics (Fortuin & Davids) and theoretical work on negation (Keijsper, Van Helden). As can be seen from this list, the majority of the contributions in this peer-reviewed volume displays the data-oriented tradition of Dutch Slavic linguistics, but studies of a more theoretical nature are also represented.

Communicative heterogeneity in novgorod birchbark letters: A case study into the use of imperative subjects Auteur: Simeon Dekker This article first introduces ‘communicatively heterogeneous’ texts from the corpus of Old Rus-sian birchbark letters, in which a switch of author or addressee occurs. Next, it describes in what cases a second person pronoun is used as an imperative subject in Old Russian. Two uses can be distinguished, viz. ‘contrastive’ and ‘pragmatic’. The nature of communicatively heterogeneous texts suggests that they would license a contrastive use of imperative subjects; after all, the switch from one addressee to another is an obvious contrast. In some cases, this hypothesis comes true; in combination with a vocative, the imperative subject is considered to be a cohesive device. In other cases, however, an imperative subject is absent. But how can textual coherence be attained there without cohesion? It is pointed out that letters were often intended to be performed in an oral setting, i.e. read out aloud by the letter-bearer, which makes the use of explicit referential devices redundant. Instead of a cohesive device, the letter’s oral performance is relied on to signal a switch of addressee. Studying the use of imperative subjects can thus contribute to a broader understanding of the nature and role of birchbark letters in connection with their referential or-ganisation.
