In this paper, we examine two of these insights, his analytic and synthetic systems of grammar and his foundational work on typology. We show how they were intimately connected within his conception of linguistic research, and how this was in turn embedded in the tradition established by Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835), especially as it was further developed by H. Steinthal (1823-1899).

The notion of 'vectopia' stands for the connection of utopia and uchronia in space and time in such a way that the experience of the world, expanded worldwide, contains within it a Weiter-Leben, a 'living-further' that is to be understood first in a spatial, and not yet temporal, sense, of what Forster called Erfahrungswissen, or 'experiential knowledge.' Vectopia, as elaborated here, has a material dimension that relates to the physical person, the body, the experience of the world that cannot occur without the constant changing of place, without a journeying that is again and again recommenced. Vectopia develops the projection of a life not from space or from time alone, but by their combination. Vectopia is more than a concept, it is a thought-figure: it is vitally connected to life, and thus a life-figure. It opens itself to a type of knowledge that stands almost at the threshold of a further life, indeed, of a Weiterleben that, opening itself to a 'living-onward,' resides beyond space, time, and movement.}, language = {en} } @article{Hassler2022, author = {Haßler, Gerda}, title = {Meaning and Function}, series = {Concordia discors vs. discordia concors : researches into comparative literature, contrastive linguistics, translation and cross-cultural strategies}, volume = {16}, journal = {Concordia discors vs. discordia concors : researches into comparative literature, contrastive linguistics, translation and cross-cultural strategies}, number = {2}, publisher = {Ştefan cel Mare University Press}, address = {Suceava}, issn = {2065-4057}, pages = {17 -- 50}, year = {2022}, abstract = {The use of the word functional in the most diverse theories and approaches has contributed in no small measure to the confusion in linguistics today.

They strove for the perfection of language for the needs of thought and of scientific knowledge. The connections with the Ideologues can also be discerned in Russia. In the educational theory, Jean-Baptiste Maudru (1740-1808) was close to the Ideologues and, despite his insufficient knowledge of the Russian language, made some interesting remarks on the connection between the language and the national character. According to Maudru and in agreement with the Ideologues, different typologies of word order are not just an indication of greater or lesser closeness to the natural order. Rather, they indicate differences in national character, which manifest themselves in the specific character of individual languages. Maudru taught at the military academy in Saint Petersburg and published the first Russian grammar in France (Maudru 1802). In his grammar, he sought to link mechanically the specific features of languages and of national characters with the climatic influences.

Writers, archaeologists and historians used the New Science as a metonymic reference work for their own nationalist concepts by updating the Pythagorean myth in accordance with relevant narratives of exclusive genealogies concerning an ancient Italian wisdom. These narratives follow tendencies in Vico's own writings that were quoted strategically and mixed with further interpretations of the Scienza Nuova as reliable testimonial for a glorious Italian history. A theological poet characterized by deeper insight into the secrets of nature and some parts of the divine providence, Pythagoras gains his special position in Vico's general conception of knowledge.}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2020, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {Saga-Like World-Fractals: Jo{\~a}o Guimar{\~a}es Rosa, "Sagarana", and the Literatures of the World}, series = {Journal of Foreign Languages and Cultures}, volume = {IV}, journal = {Journal of Foreign Languages and Cultures}, number = {1}, publisher = {Hunan Normal University}, address = {Changsha}, pages = {1 -- 21}, year = {2020}, abstract = {This article presents and discusses Jo{\~a}o Guimar{\~a}es Rosa as an outstanding Brazilian author whose literary work, especially Sagarana, expresses aesthetically different ways of life-forms between human beings, animals, plants, and landscapes. Movement and transformations are the basic principles in which the melody of prose expresses itself as a language in and as motion. Although based in Brazilian culture, Rosa shows the conviviality of different logics which are not reduced to one myth of the Brazilian people, but produce multiple ways of co-existence between different life-forms and culture narratives. The translingual title "Sagarana" already alludes to the transitions between two languages, regions, and cultures: the Icelandic "saga-" and the Tupic-Word "rana" which means "similar" or "alike." The interpretation figures out the correlation of different provenances ("Herk{\"u}nfte") which emerge from Rosa's craft of storytelling. In its center, the Sert{\~a}o arises as a region of nature whose forces are connected with the life of human beings. As fractal of the world, it symbolizes Brazilian relations as a world of its own and at the same time as a part of the world of others. From this point of view the essay turns world literature upside down: it emphasizes on the one hand that the epoch of world literature since Goethe has come to an end and that the meridian has shifted to Latin America. On the other hand it can be observed that the lusophonic world between Brazil and Angola, Portugal and Kap Verde develops new perspectives on literatures of the world beyond the fixed coordinations of periphery and center. Rosa's ways of world making already shift the perspective from the local to the global as a miniatured model of a universe which reveals interpretations of a better understanding of the world as world fractals.}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2020, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {Wilhelm \& Alexander von Humboldt or: Humboldtian Science}, series = {Wilhelm und Alexander von Humboldt - Berlin Cosmos}, journal = {Wilhelm und Alexander von Humboldt - Berlin Cosmos}, editor = {Spies, Paul and Tintemann, Ute and Mende, Jan}, publisher = {Wienand}, address = {K{\"o}ln}, isbn = {978-3-86832-559-1}, pages = {19 -- 23}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{Seemann2020, author = {Seemann, J{\"o}rn}, title = {Alexander von Humboldt's Search for the Casiquiare Canal}, series = {HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; International Review for Humboldtian Studies}, volume = {XXI}, journal = {HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; International Review for Humboldtian Studies}, number = {41}, editor = {Ette, Ottmar and Knobloch, Eberhard}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2568-3543}, doi = {10.18443/298}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-488363}, pages = {77 -- 106}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Though Humboldt's travels to the Americas have been analyzed from a wide range of viewpoints, there are specific aspects that still await further investigation.

The book's second part discusses some of the main concepts and dichotomies of the CLG (constitution of the linguistic method, arbitrariness of sign, main dichotomies), under the light of both the original manuscripts and recent linguistic developments (influence of dialectology or translation studies). The third and last part handles the pragmatic and semantic dimensions of language, suggesting new avenues of reflection that could not yet have been fully taken into account within the CLG itself.
