A vast body of sociolinguistic research has investigated the ubiquitous change from [t] to [ʔ] for /t/ in word-medial and word-final position in numerous, often urban, locations in the UK since the 1970s3 (e.g. Altendorf and Watt 2008 for London; Baranowski and Turton 2015 for Manchester; Drummond 2011 for Polish L2 speakers of English in Manchester; Fabricius 2000, 2002 for RP; Flynn 2012 for Nottingham; most articles in Foulkes and Docherty's volume on Urban Voices 1999, e.g. Derby, London, Sheffield; Jansen 2018 for Carlisle; Kerswill and Williams 2000 for Milton Keynes, Hull and Reading; Llamas 2007 for Middlesbrough; Macaulay 1977 for Glasgow; Marshall 2001 for north-east Scots; Mees 1987 for Cardiff; Milroy et al. 1994 for Newcastle; Reid 1978 for Edinburgh; Schleef 2013 for Edinburgh and London; Smith and Holmes-Elliott 2018 for Buckie; Straw and Patrick 2007 for Ipswich; StuartSmith 1999 for Glasgow; Thorne 2003 for Birmingham; Trudgill 1988 for Norwich.)4 Milroy et al. (1994) describe the use of glottal stops as an urban feature. Since most sociolinguistic investigations of this variable have concentrated on urban areas in the UK, the information on T-glottalling in more peripheral and remote areas is still patchy. Notable exceptions are Marshall (2001), who explores T-glottalling in north-east Scots, Milroy (1982), who investigates this feature in Galloway, and Smith and HolmesElliott (2018), who study T-glottalling in Buckie, a burgh town on the Moray Firth coast of Scotland. Smith and Holmes-Elliott (2018, 324) propose that \"some key questions [...] surrounding the origins and subsequent development of the variable\" remain and they call for more studies on this variant to gain further information about \"the trajectory of this iconic variable through time and space\" (Smith and HolmesElliott 2018, 352). Filling geographical gaps in the study of T-glottalling is one point that needs to be addressed, but investigating this change in progress in diverse communities should also be taken into account in order to achieve a fuller understanding of T-glottalling as a phenomenon of Present-Day English.","PeriodicalId":42547,"journal":{"name":"ZEITSCHRIFT FUR ANGLISTIK UND AMERIKANISTIK","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74961042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I shall present considerations that have made it possible to articulate research perspectives of interdisciplinary relevance, as a basis for building collaborative projects that not only involve researchers from several disciplinary backgrounds, but also integrate practitioners from non-academic areas of discursive practice. I will at times refer to theoretical positions and methodological reflections that are useful for illustrating ways of conceptualising and operationalising interdisciplinary research perspectives, but without implying that other theoretical positions or methodological choices are not workable or legitimate. And I will conclude by offering a selective engagement with Rita Felski's Uses of Literature (2008) in order to exemplify ways in which interdisciplinary practices can lead not only to critical reflections, but also to innovative accounts of conceptions and practices that are key to our own discipline of literary scholarship. Indeed, it is part of my argument that one major incentive for devising productive instances of interdisciplinarity might lie in their disciplinary benefit – interdisciplinarity as a way of obtaining greater clarity both on the cultural status and functions of the materials that we study, and of the disciplinary practices that we implement. What I will present, then, is in no way a finished and static recipe book, but rather reflections on what has worked in particular instances and situations and could serve as points of departure that would need to be developed further and adapted to new instances and situations. It is a question of identifying the contributions that literary scholarship can uniquely make in contexts where the research objectives go beyond the disciplinary priorities which are generally defined in literary studies, and at the same time gaining new research angles that speak to these disciplinary positions. How can we develop research perspectives where a detailed and differentiated literary analysis becomes 'relevant,' as we highlight how literary narratives offer complex critical engagements with issues that are virulent in other public or academic discourses, and with the ways in which these issues are represented and addressed in those settings? And how, in turn, can such engagements feed back into our own critical and scholarly practice, refining and sharpening its focus as well as broadening and deepening its analytical scope? My remarks are informed by my experience as a member of the research group Fiction Meets Science (FMS; see www.fictionmeetsscience.org), which has been funded by the Volkswagen Foundation since 2013, in a funding format designed, among other things, to promote interdisciplinary collaboration as a way of highlighting the potentials of the","PeriodicalId":42547,"journal":{"name":"ZEITSCHRIFT FUR ANGLISTIK UND AMERIKANISTIK","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81761471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gruss","doi":"10.33675/angl/2021/3/5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33675/angl/2021/3/5","url":null,"abstract":"'Law-and-Literature' emerged initially as a subdiscipline of legal education at USAmerican law schools during the 1970s and has since become an established part of the legal curriculum in the United States; it has also sparked the development of 'law and literature' as a flourishing interdisciplinary enterprise.1 The field developed partly in opposition to the prevalence of 'law and economics' as an educational paradigm in (USAmerican) legal education. Courses in the field were aimed at law students in an attempt to replenish their 'dry' legal studies with the spark of 'real life' and emotion which, proponents of Law-and-Literature argued, was an essential quality of literature lacking in legal education. Literature (usually of the highbrow, capital-letter variety) and the interpretive ambiguity of literary language was credited with the inherent ability to transcend the rigid categories deemed characteristic of the law. Literary texts mostly functioned as an 'ethical complement' to legal writing or, in Julie Stone Peters's words, as an \"ethical corrective to the scientific and technocratic visions of law\" (2005, 444). Literature, in a nutshell, was meant to 'repair' a perceived lack in legal education and legal practice. In this article, I will briefly explore the history of Law-and-Literature as well as competing and more recent incarnations of the field, argue for the interdisciplinary necessity of scholarly self-awareness, discuss a project which took interdisciplinarity seriously by bringing together early modern literature and contemporary law – the Shakespeare Moot Court Project (2002-2007) – and, in a last step, shed some light on the possible interconnections of law and literature with the (generic) laws of literature in my own take on the field. In doing so, I want to take seriously the potential pitfalls of interdisciplinary work. In her analysis of the methodological baggage that comes with the interdisciplinarity of law and literature, Doris Pichler has stressed that, \"when carrying out research within this field, one has to position oneself very clearly\" (2015, 26) within a specific academic or cultural tradition, a law system, a theoretical approach and a specific position with reference to 'law' and 'literature.' A brief caveat, therefore, on my own disciplinary point of view: my specific angle is that of an early modernist working on a book-length study of The Laws of Excess: Law, Literature, and the Laws of Genre in Early Modern Drama. I do not have a legal education nor am I a specialist in English legal history. My predicament is consequently that of most people engaged in interdisciplinary work – while I am (hopefully) an expert in the one field (early modern drama), I am all but a layperson in the other (early modern law and the English legal system more generally).","PeriodicalId":42547,"journal":{"name":"ZEITSCHRIFT FUR ANGLISTIK UND AMERIKANISTIK","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75504385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
