Как звучать по-эльфийски?

Посмотрел. Тут отмечу всякие важные и интересные штуки, и попробую учесть все в составленном диалоге.

Гласные (в Синдарине их 6):
- Чистые (что значит никаких "аканьев-оканьев").
- Дифтонги - нисходящие: первый звук произноситься четче, в то время как второй редуцируется. Это, кстати, многое объясняет.
- Три вида долготы звука: i - í - î (в порядке увеличения долготы).

Согласные:
- Нет аспирации (придыхания).
- [r] - трелевой (т.е. фактически совсем русский).
- Мягкая [l] - альвиолярный звук (т.е. ближе к немецкому произношению).
- Глухие Lh и rh - валлийские - в идеале нужно гуглить валлийское произношение. Не в идеале подставляем глухой межзубный английский перед собственно [l] и [r] - ну это на самый край. А так гуглим валлийское произношение.
- Нет оглушения.

Пометка уже к тенгвару:
[hw], [gw], [dw] - это не два звука в транскрипции, а отдельные полноценные звуки. Следовательно, в письме для них есть отдельные символы. Записывать их надо ими, а не никак не "g+w".

Ударение:
Интересно, что у меня не возникло проблем при самостоятельном проставление ударения в слове 'Novaer', т.к. я прочла про дифтонги (что на них падает ударение) и не заморочилась с подсчетом слогов. А слово-то исключение. Причем образовалось сложением 2 слов.... прямо как farewell: No + Vaer.

Фильмы vs. Reality:
- Фразы у Джексона на эльфийском произносятся гораздо медленее, чем это необходимо. For impression's sake.
- Взрывные гласные произносятся с аспирацией. Also for impression's sake. Сложно не согласиться аспирация это всегда красиво.

Помимо вот этих всех вкусностей, обратила внимание на технику shadowing при работе с произношением - надеюсь юзать ее без отговорок.
Спасибо, Middle-Earth University!

In the middle of Neverwhere

Maybe not exactly in the middle... but I am definitely going deeper to London Below and all those floating markets and stuff. First of all thanks to #neilgaimanweek which took place in Saint-Petersburg. I am literally enchanted by the idea of a floating market as much as creatures who one might meet there. Sadly, despite the fact that a place for the party was perfectly chosen, we must admit, that those who made my day evening were those who could do that in any place and in any time. So on the one hand, I considered this event as a nice way to touch Neil Gaiman's world... but that hardly happened... I think the point was the scale of the project... not big enough, not ambicious enough. But I do hope it was just a start...

I wish I did my best to catch the air of the event... at least to draw it from my own imagination. But I failed. So, I would not mind getting some help from those who hosted the event. Partly because I came there for that, didn't I?

November in the Hermitage

When you live in St. Petersburg from time to time you have to visit the Hermitage at least when your friends come to see the city. We did it on Thursday when you could visit the museum free of charge. That's probably how I'm going to visit the Hermitage as I am not a student any more. So, queues, queues, queues ever since. We had been waitiing for 2 hours outside before we could enter the museum. Well, probably that was due to autumn holidays but we decided that free tickets were meant for people to observe the museum inner yard as there people had nothing to do but to look around.

I stopped hoping to see everything in the Hermitage so as a rule I wandering through the halls and chambers. Or I choose some topic I am interested in the moment and look for it though quite randomly.

This time A. by all means wanted to see Egyptian objects of art I didn't mind as a guest is a guest. And I paid my attention to The Book of the Dead that made me tremble in a way. As if I had never seen it, and never heard about it, and then I got strangely spelled by some ancient sheets of paper.

We also went to saw works of Leonardo da Vinci - the Benois Madonna and The Madonna Litta. I remeber this place very well as once I fainted by the Benois Madonna when I was quite young. I wish I could say that the consequences of Stendhal's syndrome but I believe that there were more trivial reasons to that.

I am also kinda hunting for St. Sebastians. This time I came across two which I hadn't seen yet. These are

by Pietro Perugino

by Bernardino Luini

[/url

Another sudden discovery was the one and only work created by Michelangelo - The Crouching Boy. We were lucky to eavesdrop his story about Michelangelo's hiding in a cloister during Spanish attacks on Florence. They consider that the artist presented his own worries and anxiety about that situation. I can't say exactly how it made me feel but there was something special about that, something I'd like to remember.

look at The Crouching Boy?

Since I had been studying drawing I was quite attached to Antinous though it was not because he was easy to draw as he wasn't but I rather enjoyed observing him. In the Hermitage there different sculptures all of them are quite recognizable which present him as different gods. For me his popularity isn't surpricing. But it was more interesring to find Hadrian himself who was kinda responsible for this.

Antinous

Hadrian

Чумной Августин - К Дням Безвременья....

Творческая группа "Чумной Августин" поздравляет всех с началом темной половины года, днем-вне-времени, когда истончается завеса между мирами. Священна ночь Самайна.

Восславьте урожай года прошедшего! Помяните всех, с кем простились и пожелайте им доброй дороги в мир вечного благоденствия! Зажгите полночный огонь в очагах, и да хранит вас Бран Благословенный! (с)

A Night in a Lonesome October

As it turned out the issue of the exact day of Samhain can be difficult to define. Though one can say that it is celebrated from 31 October to 1 November. But things seemed a bit more complicated as we talk of an astrologic approach or approaches to be exact. To cut a long story short one has to be prepared for a significant variety of days which are considered to be THE VERY DAY (or probably it's better to say 'the very night'). For example, here we can see what choice we have this year.

I am not good at the changes of the moon but this idea definitely worth remebering as we speak about the time when these very changes ruled people's lives. Moreover, I am a big fan of changes for changes' sake. I enjoy things that make me stay alert.
So it seems right to me to pay homage to Samhain within October. I do belive that this magic can last longer tham just one night.

As for the popular culture phenomenon I guess that all this fuss creates a certain magnetism which gives ways to some 'rituals' to become a part of modern culture and city heritage *sends regards to the Futurelearn course*.

And it comes for you...

Каждый из нас прозрачен в час, когда наступил Самайн.

67. Видит Эру как же я ненавижу перегорать. Гореть обожаю! Обожаю именно за горение на грани, за мейд май день просто одним только своим существованием. Но не могу представить ничего более ужасного, когда это прекращается. Я понимаю, что это естественный откат, обусловленный как минимум чувством самосохранения организма - нельзя существовать на пределе вечно. Но как же жаль, что нельзя существовать на пределе вечно!

31. #inktober удивительно вдохновляющий челлендж, потому что сложно описать насколько я люблю рисунок тушью. Настолько же обидно осознавать, что рисовать можно разучится (разучиться даже на том невысоком уровне, на котором рисовала бывало я). Всегда казалось, что последнее время мне не до рисования, но кажется причинно-следственная связь была иная. Я выбирала другие виды деятельности, потому что всякий раз сталкивалась с недостатком навыка, чтобы изобразить то и так, как мне хотелось. Может #inktober станет поводом взяться за рисунок с нуля? Ни в школе, ни во время учебы в архитектурном у меня не опускались руки перед листом бумаги - как это происходит сейчас - кажется пора что-то с этим делать.

247. Говорят, что зарождение симпатии и сочувствия феанорингам связано с каким-то психологическим становлением в человеке. Становление (если такое и имеет место быть) пока не могу отследить, но вот мостик к Первому Дому, пожалуй, сформировался из моего отношения к клятвам, обещаниям, словам, озвучивание которых равно поступку. Вот буквально "Светом венца звездного свода..."
Ведь когда у тебя нет ничего, цена твоего слова самое дорогое, чем ты обладаешь.

Cultural Heritage and the City - week2

I've done with another week of FutureLearn. And I've got some more items to put down here.

More?

It's good to mention (though that's not surpricing) that government doesn't equal governance. When we talk about cultiral heritage issues we mean first of all governance, though government is also quite important here.

Governance deals with interaction, regulation and negotiation.
Hereitage governance shoud be multileveled, interrelated with other fields, include opportunity for community participation.

National organizations nowadays are very important though they CANNOT impose their decisions on local authorities.
Worl of national organizations is based on 1) the assumption that the notion of cultural heritage is universal; 2) by supporting the heritage of a community that goes beyond national bondaries.

Cultural heritage development may demand changes (and also influence) the educational sector, the transortation sector, the sector of tourism.

Cities can themselves apply for funds and programs provided by the state, national organizations, regional governments, in order to protect their (cities') heritage.

From the point of view of economy cultural heritage should be always viewed not as a cost but as an investment.
Cultural heritage 1. increases city attractiveness; 2. fuels urban crreativity; 3. is a key component for urban regeneration.

#industrial_heritage_identity_crisis - Bilbao, Genua, Detroit, etc.

Now my answers/suppositions to questiions which I've come across within the first week of the course:
1) Who do you think is the most legitimate actor to govern cultural heritage? The State? The city? Private companies? National organizations?

In my opinion, nowadays cities are the main actors of cultural heritage governance. Local government is better informed about current issues and can faster respond to changes that happen. At the same time local government can provide all necessary sources.
I consider private companies to be quite competitive as they are usually have a certain aim and focus on a single object. Private actors are more independent in their choice and actions but they might be more vulnerable as well... in terms of state support and investment.
The last but not the least - national organizations - their main task is to impose some common rules to help heritage conservation and development all over the world.

2)Does the city where you live have an industrial past? Does it promote it as an impportant component of its heritage?

St.Petersburg definitely has an industrial past and at present this 'past' is getting a new life and as well as a new form. I suppose we can call this tendency a resolution of industrial identity crisis. I'm talking about turning some industrial buildings into art space and I can say it's for good because it allows to fill the city center with new entertainment facilities what in its turn is an actuall investment made by private actors as well as by citizens themselves (as they are customers who get this or that 'service').
But today such 'reconstruction' takes place not only around the city centre but also on the outskirts like the Museum of Street Art. Though the transport issue seemes still to be a problem but I do believe that such projects will have a future.

Quid pro quo

This is how Autumn grants wishes... and I am glad even if all magic comes with a price.

1. Yesterday I was ponderind how wonderful it could be if today they postponed our lesson at the language school. The reason was simple - I'm not sure that I'll be able to attend my dance class on Sunday and I'd hate missing a whole week. Today in the morning I've got a message that was the following: 'Unfortunately, your class is postponed. As for your Monday class - we will let you know later.' My price - is my salary, which at that very moment got a bit smaller (can't believe that's even possible...). But that meant I could have a dance class today. Learning instead teaching. And besides I don't have to worry about Sunday.

2. Another subject for a pity could take place on Thursday. Because the time of my job interview coincided with the time of a lecture on Southern Gothic Literature as a genre and its representatives. it was supposed to take place at the British Book Centre. Though it was my fault that I completely forgot about this lecture when I appointed time for my interview. Anyway, it seemed I had to say goodbye to Anne Rice, Tennessee Williams, Stephen King, and others writers. But the second news that came today proclaimed that the lecture had been cancelled. So I need neither rearrange the time of the interview ( what's obviously unprofessional) nor regret about my unusual absent-mindedness.

That eagerness which I had got to make things go this way is as surprising as obvious the price I paid for them going this way.
