Marginal Matters – Explorations into Commenting and Glossing Techniques in Arabic Manuscript Cultures
Stefanie Brinkmann (Hrsg.)
https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004720695
For centuries, scribes and users have left notes in the margins of manuscripts, paraphrasing, explaining, criticising, and supplementing the main text. This volume sheds light on such scribal practices in Arabic manuscripts, investigating diverse techniques and approaches across the vast geographical and temporal range of the Arabic manuscript age. What similarities and differences can we observe regarding place, time, and subject? And what can we learn from these annotations in the margins or between the lines?
This volume is the first to focus specifically on the rich tradition of marginal commentaries in Arabic manuscripts and seeks to establish the study of commentary and glossing practices as an important source for the history of Arabic literature, Islamic intellectual history, and comparative manuscript studies.

Morphological encoding of Mandarin Chinese

This dissertation focuses on the central research question of how Mandarin compound words are represented during language production. Specifically, it examines whether compound words are stored in the mental lexicon in a decomposed or holistic manner. If decomposition occurs during production, at what level does it take place? Are the storage mechanisms at the lemma and lexeme levels-two stages in lexical selection-distinct? According to the theoretical model proposed by Levelt et al. (1999), decomposition of compound words can occur at either the lemma or lexeme levels during lexical selection. To explore the representation of Mandarin compound words during lexical selection, this dissertation investigates two primary hypotheses: the morphological decomposition hypothesis and the full-listing hypothesis. The former posits that compound words are represented in the mental lexicon through their constituent morphemes, which play a role in lexical retrieval. In contrast, the latter asserts that compound words are stored as whole units, negating the involvement of morphemes in lexical retrieval. The aim of this research is to uncover how Mandarin Chinese compound words are represented at the two levels of lexical selection during speech production.
Slavery and Servile Societies in Korean History: The Hidden Background of Modern Korea
Reinhard Zöllner
https://doi.org/10.1515/9783112210079
This study examines the long-overlooked institution of slavery in Korea, challenging its erasure from historical narratives and reassessing its role within the country’s socio-political structure. It explores how slavery, deeply embedded in a lineage-based aristocracy, functioned not only as an economic driver but also as a hereditary status system that reinforced elite dominance and self-preservation. Using the concept of “servile society” (a society in which strong asymmetrical dependency is linked to hereditary social status in law and custom), the book examines how hereditary dependency shaped elite power, governance, and social hierarchies over centuries. The study combines political and legal history, social structures, and ideological frameworks to present the latest research on slavery in ancient Korea. It examines how slaves were constructed as a “special species” in the Korean Middle Ages, analyzes the role of slavery in the yangban-dominated society of the early modern period based on political-intellectual discourses and statistical data, and tracks the expansion of slavery discourses in Japanese and Western reception after c. 1800 based on texts and photographs; and examines the aftermath of slavery in the present.
