Proposed Reconstructions of Cases Six and Eight of the Edwin Smith Papyrus /
:
From a medical–historical perspective, Case Eight of the Edwin Smith Papyrus is one of the most important in that document. It graphically describes hemiplegia resulting from a closed head injury and distinguishes it from other nontraumatic conditions that might be associated with similar neurologic deficits. It is also one of the longest cases in the manuscript, due largely to an extended concluding passage that is virtually identical to the description of a horrific open skull fracture contained in Case Six. There is no unanimity regarding the significance of this unusual passage, which deviates from the otherwise rigidly applied format of the case presentations. The manuscript’s grammatical framework is as ordered as its compositional structure otherwise. The method employed in the present study is to analyze Cases Six and Eight in this light in order to identify textual peculiarities common to both that might give a better understand of the relationship between them. Based on this analysis I propose a reconstruction of each case that addresses semantic and syntactic anomalies in the sole existing copy of the document and discuss possible implications of our conclusions for its organization and revision over time.
Language system, translation technique, and textual tradition in the Peshitta of Kings /
:
Using the VU University syntactically analyzed, hiearchically structured database of ancient languages, the authors compared the Masoretic text of Kings to the Syriac Peshitta translation. The core question in this comparison is: which deviations between the two texts are related to the requirements of the distinct language systems, which are related to other aspects of the translation process, and which are related to the transmission history of the translated text? Though linguistic and text-historical approaches differ in method and focus, research into ancient biblical translations must take both into account. On the basis of a synoptic matching at clause level, corresponding phrases within the clauses are matched, and corresponding words within phrases. A choice out of a wealth of detailed differences thus brought to light are discussed at the syntactic level at which the phenomenon best fits: word, phrase, clause and above the clause.

Philosophy of language, Chinese language, Chinese philosophy : constructive engagement /
:
From the constructive-engagement vantage point of doing philosophy of language comparatively, this anthology explores (1) how reflective elaboration of some distinct features of the Chinese language and of philosophically interesting resources concerning language in Chinese philosophy can contribute to our treatment of a range of issues in philosophy of language and (2) how relevant resources in contemporary philosophy of language can contribute to philosophical interpretations of reflectively interesting resources concerning the Chinese language and Chinese texts. The foregoing contributing fronts constitute two complementary sides of this project. This volume includes 12 contributing essays and 2 engagement-background essays which are organized into six parts on distinct issues. The anthology also includes the volume editor's theme introduction on comparative philosophy of language and his engaging remarks for three parts.
