The article explores the origins of the player king and player queen speech prefixes in the play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare. It mentions the lack of distinction in the mousetrap scene between the paratexts used to identify Claudius and the player king, and Gertrude and the player queen. It cites the efforts of modern editors to distinguish between the characters. The only modern edition that correctly attributes textual innovations is said to be the online variorum at Hamletworks.org.

The article focuses on the poem "Beowulf's" retort to taunting of Unferth which appears to be illogical maxim and mentions attempt of scholars to interpret infaege as referring to braver. Topics discussed include Old English poetic corpus available in passage in Beowulf, illogical nature of the maxims which can be solved by interpreting prefix and manuscript's reading.

The article discusses a re-calibration of the prefix "inter" in the practice of international relations scholarship. It examines the importance of interpretation which bears a resemblance with Heideggerian staying at the center of subject matters and Gadamerian theorizing. It also explores the important role of language learning in understanding a globalizing international relations world.

The article focuses on the etymology of the Essex word releet. Topics include philologist Walter W. Skeat's publication of a note in 1878 arguing that the word was a survival of an Old English (OE) genitival construction, his claim on the prefix "re" in the word, and an evidence of the Essex word in several places in Suffolk, England.

The section provides an overview of works covering English language morphology. An Introduction to English Morphology, by Andrew Carstairs-McCarthy, has chapters on words, inflection derivation the history of English word formation and words in languages in general. Among general morphological issues, the extent to which morphology mirrors syntax has continued to occupy several minds. Joseph Edmonds sees A Common Basis for Syntax and Morphology: Tri-Level Lexical Insertion. He points out that the Right Hand Head Rule of morphology is also encountered in many syntactic phrases, and goes on to suggest that the heads of words are also heads of phrases. Also, Laurie Bauer, in Why Are We Linguists and Not Linguisticians? tries to trace the semantic and pragmatic factors that have governed the fortunes of the -ician suffix.

This paper proposes a unified account of the semantic and syntactic properties of certain particle and prefix verbs in German as well as of constructions involving resultative and depictive predicates. I will argue that the secondary predicates, considered to be adjuncts, are lexically integrated into the verb by an operation called Argument Extension(ARG), a general option of the modification rule which states that the head accommodates to the adjunct, in contrast to the traditional view, according to which the adjunct accommodates to the head. Section I motivates the theoretical possibility of the operation ARG within Categorial Grammar, while section 2 briefly introduces the framework of Lexical Decomposition Grammar, in which the following analyses are situated. Section3 shows that the operation ARG allows a satisfying analysis of prefixes and particles that introduce new arguments to the verb. This analysis will then be extended to resultative and depictive secondary predicates in sections 4 and 5, and will be compared to some of the syntactically based alternatives that have been proposed in the literature.
