I hypothesize that seizures are deployed in a linguistic capacity to quickly convey information of narrative importance. This strategy aims at situating the involved actors in the narrative world and thus presents certain understandings of how we are to assess the morality of the acts and persons in question. The chronicles utilize different words for seizures (though some overlaps occur) which shows how the different words for seizures are deeply rooted in specific cultural understandings and archetypes.</p> <p>Hence, the article seeks to demonstrate that in late medieval chronicles, acts of seizures are fully integrated into the larger narratives told. The consequences are significant as a thief, then, rarely is just a thief, and even the most innocently described episode can cover for morally questionable acts. Both reservations are important for the people portrayed in the sources and our continued investigation of past society, literary and historical.</p> </div> </div> </div> Frederik Lynge Vognsen Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://tidsskrift.dk/danskestudier/article/view/146838 Thu, 20 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0200 https://tidsskrift.dk/danskestudier/article/view/146735 <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p>This article discusses the implementation of the international phonetic alphabet IPA in Danish phonetic tradition. In Danish tradition, it is common to present IPA as extremely complex, a system that relies heavily on diacritics and very subtle phonetic nuances. For these reasons, it is customary to apply certain modifications to the IPA, such as redefining the phonetic value of some symbols and adding non-standard symbols.</p> <p>The article compares the use of IPA in Danish tradition with official IPA principles and the implementation of IPA in other languages. It is argued that traditional Danish standards have not been adjusted to reflect significant changes in IPA principles introduced during the latter half of the 20th century. As a consequence, the way IPA is commonly represented in modern Danish textbooks is quite different from how IPA defines itself.</p> <p>Based on the official principles of IPA and the use of IPA in other languages, the article presents a new standard for implementing IPA for Danish. It is demonstrated that by adhering to modern principles of IPA, it is possible to create a standard for phonetic notation that is more practical and intuitive than the traditional Danish modifications of IPA, without compromising on phonetic precision and international compatibility.</p> </div> </div> </div> Ruben Schachtenhaufen Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://tidsskrift.dk/danskestudier/article/view/146735 Sun, 16 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0200 https://tidsskrift.dk/danskestudier/article/view/146736 <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p>Words like røvsyg ‘extremely boring, lit. ass-sick’ and møgvejr ‘vile weather, lit. dung-weather’ represent an attitude-driven, expressive use of language. In this type of com- position, there is an inventory of intensifying first parts, e.g., død- ‘dead-’, hunde- ‘dog-’, møg- ‘dung-’, pisse- ‘piss-’, røv- ‘ass-’, smadder- ‘smash-’ with different relations to their head. In this article, these connections are described phonologically, morphologically, and semantically. The two composition types, røvsyg and møgvejr, each have their own stress distribution: in the first type, two main stresses, in the second type, the normal distribution in compounds: main plus secondary stress. Double main stress as in røvsyg is due to the core element syg ‘sick’ being gradable, and it is this type of composition that is the main topic of the article. We establish our data of words with expressive first parts from the Dictionary of (Modern) Danish (DDO).</p> </div> </div> </div> Christian Becker-Christensen, Hans Basbøll Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://tidsskrift.dk/danskestudier/article/view/146736 Sun, 16 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0200 https://tidsskrift.dk/danskestudier/article/view/146737 <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p>This article examines the special political-administrative sense of the word næse ‘nose’ in Danish, designating formal public reprimand. A næse is frequently given through a majority vote in the Danish Parliament to members of the government as a culmination of political controversy over e.g. administrative errors or failure to govern in compliance with rules or agreements. However, the article shows that in public debate and media representations, the political næse tends to achieve satire and caricature rather than serious criticism, owing in part to its bodily association. It is even perceived by some as a symbol of democratic decline, directly compromising its official purpose. On the other hand, the political næse is explicitly assumed across Danish media and on the official website of the Danish Parliament to derive historically from a lexeme unrelated to the smelling organ, viz. the obsolete Middle Danish noun nesæ, designating ‘shame’/‘dishonour’. To shed light on these contradictory interpretations, previous etymological treatments are consulted and discussed, establishing that there is little authoritative support for the standard etymological explanation given by Danish media and the Danish Parliament. However, certain Danish dialect features are discussed as they seem to add complexity to the general picture. Finally, a sample of written media representations of political næse cases is explored through the lens of framing analysis, to illustrate how the fuzzy etymology and semantics of the political næse reflect its usage and understandings in current news media.</p> </div> </div> </div> Sune Sønderberg Mortensen Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://tidsskrift.dk/danskestudier/article/view/146737 Sun, 16 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0200 https://tidsskrift.dk/danskestudier/article/view/146738 <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p>This article presents an in-depth account of the Danish writer Herman Bang’s preoccupation with southeastern Europe and, in particular, Austria. Visiting the various countries served as a source of artistic inspiration but also presented Bang with material which he, also being a prolific journalist, could utilise for writing articles for various Danish newspapers. These articles, a large selection of which are quoted in the present article, contain snapshots of picturesque sceneries and cultural sites as well as commentaries on political issues during a period when a number of countries under the Austrian-Hungarian Empire were in the process of gaining national independence. Furthermore, the present article has traced and documented the instances where Bang in his fictional work includes observations from his many journeys to the southeastern countries as well as Austria. The article concludes with the first bibliography listing Bang’s works which over the years have been translated from Danish to Bulgarian, Czech, Hungarian and Romanian as well as texts published in Austria.</p> </div> </div> </div> Sven Hakon Rossel Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://tidsskrift.dk/danskestudier/article/view/146738 Sun, 16 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0200 https://tidsskrift.dk/danskestudier/article/view/146739 <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p>Die DDR definierte sich gerne als Leseland und die Publikation ausländischer Literatur wurde häufig kulturpolitisch instrumentalisiert. Der folgende Beitrag gibt einen kurzen Überblick über die wichtigsten Funktionsmechanismen des literarischen Feldes der DDR, das seit 1963 von der Hauptverwaltung Verlage und Buchhandel als Zensurbehörde dominiert wurde. In dieser Abteilung des Kulturministeriums wurden alle Steuerungsmechanismen des DDR-Buchmarktes gebündelt. Ohne die Druckgenehmigung der HV Verlage und Buchhandel konnte keine Publikation in der DDR erscheinen. In einem zweiten Schritt soll der Literaturtransfer von Dänemark nach Ost-Berlin mit äußerst groben Strichen skizziert werden. Abschießend sollen die dargestellten Mechanismen anhand der Texte Peter Seebergs, die in der DDR publiziert wurden, näher erläutert und diskutiert werden. Hauptau- genmerk liegt hierbei auf der Kurzprosasammlung Die Frau im Fluß (1983).</p> </div> </div> </div> Benedikt Jager Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://tidsskrift.dk/danskestudier/article/view/146739 Sun, 16 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0200 https://tidsskrift.dk/danskestudier/article/view/147379 <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p>Christian Lollike’s reworked and popular version of <em>Erasmus Montanus</em>, which premiered at Aarhus Theater in 2017, is not based on a neutral interpretation of Holberg’s classic. Lollike’s version supports three different scholarly traditions, which for the past several decades have been regarded as opposites. The various reworkings thus reflect three completely different notions of how Erasmus should be understood as a character. I argue, that while the reworkings that point to Erasmus as either <em>martyr</em> or <em>hypocrite</em> are based on two traditions that, despite disagreement, are based on the historical context of Holberg’s plays, the understanding of Erasmus as a <em>critic</em> of the contemporary worldview is based on a scholarly tradition that for several decades has reproduced an incorrect historical context regarding scientific discussions in eighteenth-century Denmark-Norway. The problem with partially basing reworkings on this latter scholarly tradition is the risk of giving a wrong picture of Holberg’s intention in using comedies to criticize contemporary knowledge practice and culture.</p> </div> </div> </div> Valdemar Nielsen Pold Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://tidsskrift.dk/danskestudier/article/view/147379 Sun, 07 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0200
