The World-Time Parallel

Tense and Modality in Logic and Metaphysics

Is what could have happened but never did as real as what did happen? What did happen, but isn't happening now, happened at another time. Analogously, one can say that what could have happened happens in another possible world. Whatever their views about the reality of such things as possible worlds, philosophers need to take this analogy seriously. Adriane Rini and Max Cresswell exhibit, in an easy step-by-step manner, the logical structure of temporal and modal discourse, and show that every temporal construction has an exact parallel that requires a language that can refer to worlds, and vice versa. They make precise, in a way which can be articulated and tested, the claim that the parallel is at work behind even ordinary talk about time and modality. The book gives metaphysicians a sturdy framework for the investigation of time and modality - one that does not presuppose any particular metaphysical view.

We are simply using English as an example of a language in which sentences
are being used which can illustrate the world—time parallel, and we choose
English simply because readers of this book will already understand it. We are
though concerned with how to analyse the truth or falsity of ordinary English
sentences like And we say that (1) is true at a time t iff1 there is rain in Waitarere
at t. In other words (2) 'It is raining in Waitarere' is true at a time t iff it is raining in
Waitarere at l', ...

English Romanticism and the Celtic World

English Romanticism and the Celtic World explores the way in which British Romantic writers responded to the national and cultural identities of the 'four nations' England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The essays collected here, by specialists in the field, interrogate the cultural centres as well as the peripheries of Romanticism, and the interactions between these. They underline 'Celticism' as an emergent strand of cultural ethnicity during the eighteenth century, examining the constructions of Celticness and Britishness in the Romantic period, including the ways in which the 'Celtic' countries viewed themselves in the light of Romanticism. Other topics include the development of Welsh antiquarianism, the Ossian controversy, Irish nationalism, Celtic landscapes, Romantic form and Orientalism. The collection covers writing by Blake, Wordsworth, Scott, Byron and Shelley, and will be of interest to scholars of Romanticism and Celtic studies.

Sovereignty and Possession in the English New World

The Legal Foundations of Empire, 1576-1640

How did English notions of sovereignty, empire and law impact their methods of settlement in the Americas?

At the same time, Elizabeth was holding prisoner her cousin, Mary Queen of
Scots, whom domestic and foreign Catholics intrigued to place on the English
throne. It was also toward the end of the 1570s that Elizabeth began outwardly
showing sympathy for the Dutch desire to revolt against the Spanish rule of Philip
II, the queen's former brother-in-law and suitor. Within this tenuous political
climate, in which a few false steps in the direction of North America could lead to
war, Elizabeth ...

Rilke, Europe, and the English-Speaking World

This 1961 text examines the complex of ambiguous attitudes which Rilke had towards Europe, in particular his hostility towards England and the English language. Professor Mason shows that Rilke identified England with forces which were robbing his Europe of its spiritual significance. The central passages of the Duino Elegies are thus seen from a fresh perspective.

RILKE'S REAL QUARREL WITH THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING WORLD But the
English invented political economy, and that is something for which the genius of
humanity will never forgive them. Naphta in THOMAS MANN'S Magic Mountain
the elaborate and far-reaching consequences he derived from it, was, at bottom,
not different from the kind of prejudice that many people of all countries easily
have against a language of which they know very little. Thus English and also

English Around the World

Sociolinguistic Perspectives

This volume looks at the little explored but increasingly important topic of the development of English as a world language. It gives a comprehensive account of our current knowledge of variation in the use of the English language around the world. Overview papers, written by specialist authors, survey the social context in which English is spoken in those parts of the world where it is widely used. Case study papers then provide representative examples of the empirical research that has been carried out into the English spoken in the areas covered by the overview. The volume therefore contributes both to our understanding of the English language worldwide and to a more general understanding of language as it is used in its social context. It assesses the extent of our current knowledge of variation in the English language and points to gaps in our understanding which future research might set out to remedy.

GREGORY R. GUY Introduction The English language is now completing 200
years of continuous usage in Australia. In that time it has supplanted the original
languages of the continent, and recruited most descendants of non-English
speaking immigrants, so that today it is the overwhelmingly dominant tongue
throughout Australia. Several features of the Australian situation yield a unique
insight on the development and diversification of English: its geographic isolation
, its social ...
