Poetry is often described as having ‘unusual syntax’. Based on a close study of nine cywydd poems by the fourteenth century Welsh poet Dafydd ap Gwilym, I identify attributive adjectives and preverbal particles as the loci of substantial departures in poetic language from the ordinary grammar of contemporary Welsh, providing an optimality theoretic analysis of the interaction between the linguistic and poetic grammars in Welsh cywyddau. I conclude that abnormally frequent noncanonical adjective ordering and omission of certain preverbal particles in poetry is a result of the domination of certain constraints on syntactic well-formedness by verse constraints.
诗歌通常被描述为具有 "不同寻常的句法"。基于对十四世纪威尔士诗人 Dafydd ap Gwilym 的九首 cywydd 诗歌的仔细研究，我发现诗歌语言中的属性形容词和前置词粒子与当代威尔士语的普通语法有很大的不同，并对威尔士 cywyddau 中语言语法和诗歌语法之间的互动进行了最优化理论分析。我得出的结论是，诗歌中异常频繁的非规范形容词排序和某些前置词粒子的省略，是诗句约束对句法完形性的某些限制所支配的结果。

This paper discusses how the concept of norms of speech and thought presentation relates to speech and thought presentation in actual texts with reference to the examination of two corpora, Semino and Short’s discourse presentation corpus, and a corpus of contemporary present-tense fiction. Through this approach, we review the meanings of the norms in each kind of discourse presentation. Leech and Short suggest that the norm of speech presentation is direct speech (DS) and the norm of thought presentation is indirect thought (IT). Examining their claim quantitatively and qualitatively, we will discuss how forms of speech and thought presentation are chosen in different socio-lingual contexts. Our examination strongly indicates that DS predominantly serves as the norm for speech presentation. However, thought presentation exhibits a higher degree of variability, influenced by genre, text type, and narrative tense and mode, and thus our investigation did not ascertain a singular category that consistently prevails quantitatively over others in thought presentation.
本文通过对 Semino 和 Short 的话语表述语料库以及当代现在时小说语料库这两个语料库的研究，讨论了话语和思想表述规范的概念与实际文本中的话语和思想表述之间的关系。通过这种方法，我们回顾了每种话语表述中规范的含义。李奇和肖特认为，言语表述的规范是直接言语（DS），而思想表述的规范是间接思想（IT）。通过对他们的观点进行定量和定性分析，我们将讨论在不同的社会语言环境中如何选择言语和思想的表达形式。我们的研究有力地表明，DS 主要作为语音表达的规范。然而，受体裁、文本类型、叙事时态和模式的影响，思想表达方式表现出更大的可变性，因此我们的调查并没有确定思想表达方式在数量上始终优于其他表达方式的单一类别。

Richard J Whitt
Ursula Le Guin’s novel The Dispossessed (1974) is the first literary treatment of anarchic utopianism, presenting the society on the moon Anarres as operating on social principles lacking any sort of State or governmental oversight (known in the novel as Odonianism). Scholarship on Le Guin’s novel has focused primarily on the overt political and philosophical aspects of the text, while the scant linguistic scholarship goes no further than uncovering fairly superficial aspects of Le Guin’s invented language of Anarres, Pravic. This paper investigates exactly how Le Guin presents a richly detailed conceptualisation of an anarchic society to readers on a planet full of states. This is generally achieved through the technique of estrangement (defamiliarisation), and more precisely, by various means of schema disruption.
