Topic: Gothic (disambiguation)


  
  Goths - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, the Gothic culture also appears to have had continuity from earlier cultures in the area[5], suggesting that the immigrants mixed with earlier populations, perhaps providing their separate aristocracy.
Gothic in turn, while being an extremely archaic form of Germanic in most respects, has nevertheless developed a certain number of unique features that it shares with no other Germanic language (see Gothic language).
This claim of Gothic origins led to a clash with the Swedish delegation at the Council of Basel, 1434.

Sense disambiguation is also necessary for ce }{r}{tain syntactic analyses, such as prepositional phrase attachment (Jensen and Binot, 1987; Whittemore }{\i et al.}{, 1990; Hindle and Rooth, 1993), and in general restricts the space of competing parses (Alshawi and Carter, 1994).
Disambiguation was accomplished by selecting the sense of the target word whose signature con tained the greatest number of overlaps with the signatures of neighboring words in its context.
The notion of disambiguating senses based on domain is implicit in various AI based approaches, such as Schank\rquote s script approach to natural language processing (Schank and Abelson, 1977), which matched words to senses based on the context or \'93script\'94 activated by the general topic of the discourse.

 Gothic
The word Gothic, first recorded in 1611 in a reference to the language of the Goths, was extended in sense in several ways, meaning “Germanic,” “medieval, not classical,” “barbarous,” and also an architectural style that was not Greek or Roman.
Horace Walpole applied the word Gothic to his novel The Castle of Otranto, a Gothic Story (1765) in the sense “medieval, not classical.” From this novel filled with scenes of terror and gloom in a medieval setting descended a literary genre still popular today; from its subtitle descended the name for it.
Of course celebrated gothic novelists such as Ann Radcliffe, Matthew "Monk" Lewis and Horace Walpole receive treatment, but more interesting is the author's identification of gothic elements in the work of artists seldom placed in the gloom-and-doom tradition, such as Alexander Pope's carefully planned, and to the 20th-century eye almost kitschy, gardens.

 Spire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
In Europe a spire on a church or cathedral is not just a symbol of piety, but cynically, also a symbol of the wealth and prestige of the order, or patron who commissioned the building.
Whatever the reason for their erection, spires were an astounding architectural phenomenon during the medieval gothic period of architecture.
The gothic style was a feature of Germanic northern Europe and was never to the Italian taste, and the few gothic buildings in Italy always seem incongruous.

 Term paper on Attila the Hun
The Roman army, under the Gothic magister militum Arnegisclus, met him on the river Vid and was defeated—though not without inflicting heavy losses.
The Huns were left unopposed and rampaged through the Balkans as far as Thermopylae; Constantinople itself was saved by the intervention of the prefect Flavius Constantinus, who organized the citizenry to reconstruct the earthquake-damaged walls (and in some places, to construct a new line of fortification in front of the old).
Priscus also recounts his meeting with an eastern Roman captive who had so fully assimilated into the Huns' way of life that he had no desire to return to his former country, and the Byzantine historian's description of Attila's humility and simplicity is unambiguous in its admiration.

 The Ultimate Niche Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
Nero's Domus Aurea (AD 64-69) was the first semi-private dwelling that possessed rooms that were given richly varied floor plans, shaped with niches and exedras; sheathed in dazzling polished white marble, such curved surfaces concentrated or dispersed the daylight.
In Gothic architecture a niche may be set within a tabernacle framing, like a richly-decorated miniature house ("aedicule "), such as might serve for a reliquary.
Though a niche in either Classical or Gothic context may be empty and merely provide some articulation and variety to a section of wall, the cult origins of the niche suggested that it be filled with a statue.

 [Rune] | [All the best Rune resources at whollyshift.net]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
Theories of the existence of Gothic runes have been advanced, even identifying them as the original alphabet from which the Futhark were derived, but these have little support in actual findings.
The letters of the Gothic alphabet, however, as given by the Alcuin manuscript (9th century), are obviously related to the names of the Futhark.
The names are clearly Gothic, but it is impossible to say whether they are as old as, or even older than, the letters themselves.
