Spectacle and Spectatorship at the Nineteenth-Century American Racetrack by Natalie Zacek

“…In many instances, their spectatorship was not simply directed at the actions of the horses and jockeys, but was instead focused on a broader category of spectacle, for which the nation’s preeminent racetracks became famous, and which was largely unavailable in other venues in this era, particularly outside of the new nation’s few major cities. Drawing upon a varied corpus of textual and visual sources, I contend that the greatest thrill for many race attendees was the opportunity to engage with, or at least look at, a large number of unfamiliar individuals, particularly those who occupied the highest and lowest positions in American society, especially that of the South, in which the majority of tracks were located in the pre-Civil War era. …”

À la recherche du substrat cognitif du submorphème SM- by Line Argoud

“…From the definitions of ‘sm- words’ attested in the Oxford English Dictionary and the English Dialect Dictionary, I shall endeavour to show that the phonological invariance of this heuristically-formed class corresponds to a submorphemic invariance which may be traced back to a very ancient process of conceptualization of the human body. Drawing on various approaches of cognitive linguistics (Lakoff & Johnson, Langacker, Heine, Sweetser), I suggest a description of the way the brain conceptualizes the referents of ‘sm- words’, and I shall show the convergence with the etymological data.Ultimately, I claim that the meanings of most ‘sm- words’ access mental representations relating on the one hand to experiential information collected by the nose and/or the mouth, and on the other hand to physical expressions of emotions through movements or positions of these two body parts. …”
