The latter type either consists of silence or is phonetically filled with breathing, whereas in the former the so-called fillers of different kinds (separate sounds, syllables and even whole words) are used. In Modern Irish filled pauses occur quite frequently in spontaneous speech, especially on the phrase border which can be accounted for by the fact that in such speech the process of formulating thoughts takes place at the very moment of speaking. Thus, it is not uncommon that the verb is chosen as the pause filler due to its initial position. In these cases auxiliary verbs are often used (different forms of the verb ‘to be’ tá, bhí and of the copula is, an). Some other instances include pauses filled by particles (in interrogative sentences) and articles, if a noun takes the initial place in emphatic construction. The present paper presents an analysis of some of such cases based on Connacht Irish material.","PeriodicalId":370965,"journal":{"name":"Studia Celto-Slavica","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128494735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mainly concerned with such texts as De duodecim abusivis saeculi, Audacht Moraind, and Tecosca Cormaic, the good deal of attention is devoted to the concept of iustitia regis and fír(inne) flathemon. Being the central principle of the wisdom-texts genre, its descriptions represent an elaborate exposition of the characteristics of a righteous ruler. The author focuses on such topics as the creative consequences of the just ruling and the destructive consequences of the unjust one, both in Hiberno-Latin and in Early Irish sources. The ethical notions pertinent to the texts of the genre are also dealt with. They are not necessarily Christian, although the modern scholarship tends to connect the “righteous ruler” concept exclusively to the Christian morality. Drawing to the conclusion, the author brings some light on the problem of the concept’s origin and its genesis, its Christian editing and its synthetic (native Irish-cum-Christian) character. The final passages are devoted to the fate of the concept of the righteous ruler developed by the Irish clerical scribes in the works of the authors of the Carolingian Europe and those of the early medieval Kiev Rus. The analogies and ideas outlined were not necessarily borrowed from the common source: their provenance in the sources, such as The Life of Charles the Great by Einhardt and The Instruction by Vladimir the Monomachus, may obtain a cultural typological character.","PeriodicalId":370965,"journal":{"name":"Studia Celto-Slavica","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127078273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Несколько гипотез о происхождении порядка знаков древнегерманского рунического алфавита и древнеирландского огамического письма (On the Origins of Old Germanic Runic Alphabet and Early Irish Ogham)","authors":"Natalia N. Pimenova","doi":"10.54586/quru7279","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54586/quru7279","url":null,"abstract":"Sowohl das keltische Ogom als auch das germanische Futhark weisen einmalige Reihenfolgen auf, für die bisher keine Interpretation gefunden wurde. Die Zusammensetzung des Ogoms und des Futharks wird meistens durch komplizierte phonologische oder mathematische (das Atbasch-System) Umstellungen erklärt. Dabei wird außer Acht gelassen, dass gerade die Reihenfolge von Zeichen die beständigste Komponente in entlehnten Alphabeten darstellt. Nach der Hypothese der Verfasserin kann die Reihenfolge der germanischen Runen das Ergebnis einer längeren Evolution darstellen. Im Beitrag wird gezeigt, wie der Einfluss verschiedener südeuropäischer Alphabete die Zeichenkombinationen am Anfang und am Ende des Futharks ergeben konnte. Die ungewöhnliche Stellung der Zeichen für b, d, g könnte damit begründet sein, dass die entlehnte ursprüngliche Reihe keine Zeichen für stimmhafte Verschlusslaute hatte. Dies weist auf ein ethruskisches oder aus dem Ethruskischen entlehntes Alphabet hin. Beim späteren Hinzufügen der Zeichen für b, d, g waren die typologischen Gesetzmäßigkeiten der Anpassung von Alphabeten wirksam: neue Zeichen wurden entweder ans Ende der Reihe oder neben Zeichen mit ähnlichen Lautwerten gestellt, wobei bei dem Lautwert die Artikulationsstelle entscheidend war. Die Anfangskombination f u þ a r dürfte durch eine Umstellung oder eine Umdeutung von ähnlichen Zeichen beim Kontakt verschiedener Schrifttraditionen entstanden sein. Im Unterschied zu den früheren Hypothesen (G.Hempl, H.Arntz, O.Haas) werden mögliche Einzelschritte dieser Modifikation analysiert. Die vor der Umstellung vorhandene Reihenfolge konnte der Reihenfolge der klassischen Alphabete a (b g) d e v z h entsprechen. Bei der Umstellung von ähnlichen v (Lautwert f) und a (wohl in Kontaktzonen, wo die Schreibung von f und a verwechselt wurde) ergab sich die Folge f (b g) d e a z h. Der Buchstabe d hatte in dieser Folge den Lautwert þ, z bekam durch eine Latinisierung der Reihe den Lautwert r. Das Zeichen e, das in der archaischen Schreibung fast wie a aussah, wurde aus der Gruppe f þ e a r h verschoben. Das Hinzufügen der w-Rune konnte erst nach der Umstellung von f-a erfolgen. Als eine Parallele zum Futhark kann man das irische Ogom betrachten. Es ist beachtenswert, dass Zeichen für Konsonanten, die im Ogom durch diegleiche Zahl von Strichen gebildet sind, auch im Futhark nebeneinaderstehen: \u0000Ogom /v t ŋ/ - u Futhark f u þ a (r k) g\u0000 /n q r/ - i r k (g w h) n i j\u0000 /s c z/ - e (p ʀ) s t\u0000 /b h m/ - a b (e) m\u0000 /l d g/ - o l d ŋ o\u0000 Die Ähnlichkeiten in Zeichenkombinationen dürften für die Entlehnung aus einer gemeinsamen Quelle oder aus verwandten Quellen und für ähnliche Modifikationen der entlehnten Reihe zeugen. Die unterschiedliche Zeichenzahl im Ogom und im Futhark sowie die Abweichungen im Lautwert und in der Reihenfolge einiger Zeichen können sich aus dem unterschiedlichen Phonembestand der altkeltischen und altgermanischen Dialekte erklären.","PeriodicalId":370965,"journal":{"name":"Studia Celto-Slavica","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124121958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Schmidt; it explores a number of linguistic links between Celtic and Slavic branches of Indo-European. Special attention is devoted to the relative chronology of possible contacts of Celtic and Slavic tribes, and an attempt to fit those into the general European picture is made. First, the author points out to the existence of *-sie-/-sio- future forms in Continental Celtic, which stand as good evidence for contacts of at least some Celtic tribes with Eastern Europeans. Alongside with this go such parallels as the relative pronoun *ios and reduplicated desiderative (preserved in Old Irish as future). Second, there are number of Celto-Slavic isoglosses; these sometimes show identical, sometimes different grades of ablaut, as well as variations in suffixation. Here the author analyses a handful of popular etymological suggestions and finds a few of them unsatisfactory. Finally, the author mentions such long-distanced parallels between Celtic and Slavic, as the development of the system of aspect, on the one hand, and palatalisation, on the other.","PeriodicalId":370965,"journal":{"name":"Studia Celto-Slavica","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126754441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This lack of diachronic data leads us to hypothetical reconstructions. The Russian literary and dialectal perfect forms may provide some evidence as to how a similar structure may have also developed in Irish.

In Modern Irish, traditional provinces of Ireland are called cúige (‘a fifth’), but there are only four (Ulster, Leinster, Munster and Connacht) of them. The same names of the four provinces were known in the Early Irish literature (cóiced Ulad etc). The Irish literati envisaged that contradiction and made some attempts to resolve it in early mythological and pseudo-historical sources (in sagas and poetry). According to their pseudo-historical theory, the province of Munster was further divided into ‘the fifth of Cú Roí’ and ‘the fifth of Eochu mac Luchta’. At the same time, the compiler of the saga ‘The Settling of the Manor of Tara’ proposes a theory of the sacred centre (Tara, the seat of kingship, and/or the hill Uisnech, the centre of druidism) of Ireland and of the four subject provinces or zones – North, South, East and West. The idea of of the dominant Goidelic race led T.F. O’Rahilly to propose the existence of the Midland kingdom. Rees Brothers added to this theory a veil of universal cosmology. We would like to propose another solution to this problem. It is not based upon the traditional cosmological or geographical principle of division of a country, but on another one, which can also be presented as the ‘traditional’ principle as far as the geography of the Ancient World is concerned. In reality, it may well be that Ireland was divided into five parts, but this so-called ‘native’ division of the island persisted for a short time only. The idea of the ‘five fifths’ preserved in Irish mythology and pseudo-history was supported by the symbolic role of the number ‘five’ in Irish tradition. Thus, the ‘power of word’ or a word-hypnosis influenced historical and native geographical tradition.","PeriodicalId":370965,"journal":{"name":"Studia Celto-Slavica","volume":"331 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134330193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
