A Computer-Assisted Study of Stylistics in Old English with Special Regard to Metaphorical and Formulaic Expressions

在这个项目中，研究者在诗歌作品和圣经翻译中以隐喻或公式的形式重新思考和解释十字架。他的材料和工具非常广泛，包括古英语诗歌的机读文本和语料库，各种古英语和英语词源词典，以及30本《贝奥武夫》的现代英语翻译。在四年的时间里，他新发表了五篇关于古英语诗歌翻译的论文和连续三篇从文体学角度研究红金(纯金)搭配的论文。在学习过程中，他利用了《古英语主题词表》，发现了它的优点和几个不足之处，发表了两篇评论文章。他在哥本哈根大学第十届国际词典学研讨会(2000年)上阅读了一篇关于辞典的论文，然后在日本中世纪英语研究会(2000年)第16届全体会议上设计并主持了一次关于同一主题的研讨会。他还修改了自己的九篇论文，形成了一本关于古英语文体学的文章集，题为《古英语中的隐喻和公式化表达》，解释了贝奥武夫中某个短语迄今未被注意到的意义，并澄清了从古英语到现代英语的两个公式化表达和几个诗意复合词的谱系。它包括：(I)Beowulf 1020b：Brand Healfdenes，(Ii)Beowulf中的Scridan，(Iii)诗人在古英语诗歌中等待神的涌现，(Iv)aspringan的截然相反的含义，(V)被忽略的组合Egesa stod的方面，(Vi)圣经短语的世系，(Vii)回顾，Heaney对Beowulf的翻译(2000)，()古英语同义词：诗歌化合物和隐喻表达，和(Ix)《牛津英语词典》中的古英语诗歌语录。这本论文集将进一步修订，并作为博士论文提交。

In this project the investigator reconsiders and explains cruces in the form of metaphor or formula in verse works and Biblical translations. His material and tools are far-ranging, including machine-readable texts and concordances of Old English poems, various dictionaries of Old English and English Etymology, and thirty modern English translations of Beowulf.In the term of four years he newly wrote five papers on the translations of Old English poems and three consecutive papers on the collocation of red gold (pure gold) from stylistic point of view. In the course of his study he utilized A Thesaurus of Old English and found its merit and several shortcomings, publishing two review-articles. He read a paper on the thesaurus on the tenth International Symposium on Lexicography at Copenhagen University (2000) and then designed and chaired a symposium on the same subject on the sixteenth general conference of the Japan Society for Medieval English Studies (2000).He also revised his nine papers to form a collection of articles on Old English stylistics, titled Metaphorical and Formulaic Expressions in Old English, which explains, for example, a hitherto unnoticed significance of some phrase in Beowulf and clarifies the lineages of two formulaic expressions and several poetic compounds from Old English to Modern English. It includes: (I) Beowulf 1020b: brand Healfdenes, (II) scridan in Beowulf, (III) poet waes god cyning in Old English poems, (IV) Diametrically Opposed Meanings of aspringan, (V) Neglected Aspects of the Combination egesa stod, (VI) The Lineage of the Biblical Phrase while the world standeth, (VII) Review, Heaney's Translation of Beowulf (2000), (VIII) A Thesaurus of Old English: Poetic Compounds and Metaphorical Expressions, and (IX) Quotations from Old English poems in The Oxford English Dictionary.This collection of papers is further to be revised and presented as a doctoral thesis.
