Linguistic Response to the Taboo of Death in Egyptian Arabic
by Magdalena ZawrotnaThe work presents a study of the linguistic and pragmatic response to the taboo of death in Egypt. The analysis leads the author to the conclusion that the experience of death in Egyptian society is mediated by religion. The reaction to death announcements includes a number of strategies to protect both the author of the utterance and its recipient against the effects of the taboo related to this topic. The most important feature of the studied communication is formulaicity, which is at the same time the central idea and the methodological frame of the work presented here.The discourse analyzed here fits within the Arab-Muslim rhetorical framework. In the daily utterances of the Egyptians, divine agency is believed to be constantly present, which is attested in numerous ritual practices. As part of the quantitative study and the structural analysis of the material, a pattern was distinguished in which individual types of formulas occur in their fixed places and a specific order. Qualitatively, many of the statements in the material are strongly emotional. To enhance the pragmatic effect, phrases are combined with each other, repetitions, prayers, poetic attempts and quotes from the Quran/ Hadith appear. Most of the phrases used in response to the taboo of death are prefabricated items recalled from memory almost automatically. Further analysis proposes to look at the formulae in the context of taboo and strong emotions related to it. Using formulaic sequence instead of generating novel language enables. the author of the utterance to convey emotional support to the suffering person and, at the same time, eliminates ambiguity. The methodology proposed here offers a new insight into the language of everyday communication, through the lens of its pragmatic usefulness and linguistic etiquette, taking into account the cultural framework in which the analyzed utterances are performed.

Ombres en el temps
by Jordi Sierra i FabraLèpica història duna familia que va emigrar a Barcelona a buscant un somni. Carmen i els seus fills arriben a la Barcelona de 1949 per reunir-se amb Antonio, el pare de la família, que els espera després dhaver estat treballant a la ciutat durant uns anys. Animats per la promesa duna vida millor lluny de les penúries del camp de Murcia, la seva terra natal, topen amb la duresa dun món desconegut per ells on les ferides entre vencedors i vençuts encara són massa obertes. El desig dÚrsula per triomfar als escenaris com a cantant, les dificultats de Funsanta per incorporar-se al món laboral, els enrenous amorosos de Ginés, la lluita de Salvador contra la intolerància i lescletxa que comença a obrir-se entre Carmen i Antonio pels secrets en el seu matrimoni, marcaran els seus destins en un país que camina amb esforç buscant un futur. Amb les cartilles de racionament, la repressió ideològica, lamenaça de les presons franquistes o la tenaç revel·lia dels maquis com a teló de fons, Ombres en el temps és una història ambientada minuciosament que atraparà al lector pels seus personatges emotivament dibuixats, les trames apassionants i la sensacional recreació dels anys més emblemàtics i turbulents de la postguerra, un temps on la subsistència del dia a dia era lúnic recurs en front de ladversitat. Una desgarradora novel·la plena damor, coratge i esperança

En otras palabras
by Jhumpa LahiriUna oda al lenguaje y a su inherente poder para definir nuestra identidad y, a la postre, modelar nuestra forma de ser y de relacionarnos. ¿Cómo es posible que me sienta exiliada de una lengua que no es la mía, una lengua que no sé? Tal vez porque soy una escritora que no pertenece del todo a ninguna lengua. El impacto que supuso para Jhumpa Lahiri el contacto directo con el italiano durante su primera visita a Florencia tras acabar los estudios universitarios fue el comienzo de un largo cortejo que, con el tiempo, se ha convertido en una honda pasión por un idioma que le es extrañamente familiar y que le despierta un irreprimible deseo de aprehenderlo y hacerlo suyo. El primer libro en italiano de una autora de lengua materna bengalí, pero que siempre ha hablado y escrito en inglés, es el testimonio de un tenaz recorrido de descubrimiento y aprendizaje en pos de un objetivo irracional.Una obsesión que Lahiri compara con el amor no correspondido, porque atesora en sus páginas el fascinante eco de una distancia: la que siempre nos separa del objeto amado. Así pues, Jhumpa Lahiri plasma con exquisita lucidez la adquisición de un idioma ajeno, describiendo el proceso como un período de transición, de pérdida y liberación, de tensiones y regeneración, que le permite convertirse en una escritora distinta. La crítica ha dicho...«Pocas veces hemos leído reflexiones tan emocionantes sobre la belleza de la lengua italiana; algunas páginas recuerdan también, en su desazón, pasajes de Nabokov.»Gabriele Pedullà, Il Sole 24 Ore «Metamorfosis de una mujer, metamorfosis de una escritora, metamorfosis de un estilo. [...] Lahiri interpreta la metamorfosis como un camino existencial que lleva de la muerte al renacimiento. En esta fase de transición, su prosa elegante y precisa, tan rica en imágenes simbólicas y evocadoras, acaba despojada de todas las impurezas al encontrarse con el idioma italiano, revelando una insondable profundidad.»Panorama «Precioso. [...] Un autorretrato absolutamente singular.»The New York Times Book Review
