Libro del conosçimiento and contemporary sources of the 14th century
Liščák, Vladimír
2020 - Czech
The Libro del Conosçimiento de todos los rregnos or Book of Knowledge of All Kingdoms, also known as the Book of All Kingdoms, is an anonymous 14th-century Castilian geographical and armorial manual (dated to ca. 1385). It is written in the form of imaginary autobiographical travelogue of a Castilian mendicant friar, as he travels through the entire world, known and fanciful, from the westernmost Atlantic islands, through Europe, Asia, Africa and the Arctic, identifying all the lands, kings, lords and their armorial devices as he passes them. The only explicit information is that the anonymous author claims to have been born in Castile in 1305. Libro del conosçimiento de todos los reynos čili Kniha znalostí o všech královstvích, známá též jako Kniha všech království, je anonymní kastilská geografická a heraldicko-vexilologická příručka ze 14. století (datovaná přibližně do roku 1385, tedy zhruba deset let poté, co byl vydán Katalánský atlas, obvykle datovaný do roku 1375). Je psána ve formě imaginárního autobiografického cestopisu neznámého kastilského autora (snad františkána), který údajně cestoval po celém světě – známém i fantaskním – od nejzápadnějších ostrovů Atlantiku přes Evropu, Asii, Afriku a Arktidu, přičemž popisoval všechny země, krále, panovníky a jejich erbovní znamení, tak jak těmito zeměmi údajně projížděl. Jedinou explicitní informací je tvrzení tohoto autora, že se narodil v Kastilii v roce 1305 (nebo 1304 podle jiného přepočtu). Kromě informací o vládcích jednotlivých zemí přináší popisy a vyobrazení znaků (erbů) a od nich odvozených „vlajek“

A Stranger of the House - the Crossroads III
Mlynářová, J.; Kilani, M.; Alivernini, Sergio
2019 - English
The Crossroads III – A Stranger in the House. Foreigners in Ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern Societies of the Bronze Age conference has been held at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University (Prague) between September 10 and 13, 2018. The main objective of the conference was to enhance our understanding of “foreignness” in ancient societies between the end of the Chalcolithic period and the end of the Late Bronze Age. This book collects some of the twenty most significant contributions presented at the conference. Some authors decided to approach the discussion from a theoretical perspective, or to present and discuss theoretical frameworks that could be used to explore at least some elements underlying the concept of “foreignness”. Others investigated sociocultural dimension involved in the presence of foreigners, or in their interactions with local communities. Cases from Egypt, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, and the Levant, covering the whole of the Bronze Age have been discussed. The wide range of perspectives, and their combination within the frame of the conference often stimulated that multidisciplinary dialogue that was the primary aim of this third edition of Crossroads

Teaching Mandarin pronunciation: the cliticoids and basic types of phonetic chunks
Třísková, Hana
2015 - English
The paper is concerned with an important group of Chinese words, belonging to the high frequency items of the lexicon: monosyllabic function words such as prepositions, personal pronouns etc. They carry lexical tone, thus have a potential to be stressed. Yet, due to their deficiency in lexical meaning and frequent usage, they regularly behave as unstressed (and phonetically reduced) in connected speech. They receive stress (i.e. full pronunciation) only occasionally, particularly if emphasised. A new term is coined for these words: “the cliticoids”. The author provides their list and reviews the pitfalls of their pronunciation, observing that the Chinese cliticoids display similar features as so called “words with weak forms” found in English. Finally, short (2–3 syllabic) chunks of speech which contain the cliticoids are introduced. They are particularly designed for exercising the unstressed, reduced pronunciation of the cliticoids in L2 teaching. They are termed “phonetic chunks”.
