AUSTRALIA’S PARTICIPATION AND PERFORMANCE AT THE EVIAN CONFERENCE: INTEGRITY OR SHAME? by P. R. Bartrop

“…Upon elected to the chairmanship of one of the two subcommittees set up at the conference, White employed his position to treat the Jewish delegates with utter contempt. His record at the conference, lauded by many of the officials who were present, was one of the least humanitarian of any that can be attributed to Australian statesmen—hardly a ringing endorsement of Australia’s record at this crucial gathering in which the Commonwealth sought, at an early stage, to express itself as an autonomous nation on the international stage.…”

Degrés de subjectivisation dans la représentation linguistique de la perception : le cas de la perception directe dans les récits en anglais by Henry Wyld

“…Drawing on examples taken from narrative fiction in English, this article sets out to explore the grammar of the linguistic expression of perception from the standpoint of the degree of subjectivisation manifest in the percept’s mode of presentation – at one extreme, standard perceptual reports, by which, in association with a verb of perception, the speaker-narrator names or describes an object of perception whilst at the same time predicating it of an origin of perception figuring syntactically within the same utterance (domain of predicated perception); at the other extreme, markedly more subjectivised modes of expression via which, without recourse to a predicate of perception, the sensorial essence of the act of perception as it is experienced by the perceiving subject is given direct linguistic expression (domain of represented perception). …”

“Definite Associative Deixis”: Between Referential and Attributive Readings by Jan Dvořák

Mind you: an enunciative description by Graham Ranger

“…After a brief discussion evoking the methodological difficulties implied by corpus study of a polyvalent, multiword marker of this type, I will propose a description, formulated within the Theory of Enunciative Operations, according to which, in a sequence of the general form "p mind you q", mind you indicates that q operates a retroactive adjustment relative to the inferences which the utterance of p might give rise to. This mechanism is doubly retroactive when mind you is in final position relative to q, i.e. …”
