This study explores silence in a corpus of university supervisors’ (USs) utterances in the context of post-observation feedback conferences (POFCs) with their Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) supervisees. The USs’ utterances and corre­sponding silences were divided into educative, supportive and evaluative conversational frames (Long et al. 2013), with a view to discovering the extent and nature of the silent spells within these frames. It appears that silent spells within the educative frame type were a powerful means of communication comparable to reflection hubs, which could be allocated to increased “wait time” (Rowe 1972) or “slow-time” (Bruneau 1973) and could also be considered examples of social or commission silences. The agential quali­ties of this silence, though, can in certain cases be disempowered due to a tutee’s close-mindedness towards what happened during their lessons. Conversely, silent moments in the evaluative frame served to recall the observed lessons and included examples of empirical silence or omissive silence that the USs failed to use. This ethnographic research on USs’ silence is an extension of previous studies on USs’ POFCs discourse, and the self-analysis is a self-awareness-raising-tool in order that USs may become more cognizant of the ways POFCs are managed.

This paper collates and reviews previously proposed etymologies of the Turkic word ev, eb, üj etc. ‘house’. Moreover, as the etymology of this lexeme is still uncertain, it aims to once again analyze the available material and attempts to establish a convincing etymology. Another important aim of the paper is to clearly demonstrate which issues connected with the topic can be considered established and which require further study.

The recent years have witnessed the publication of new lexical data from Middle Chulym, one of the still underresearched and poorly described Turkic languages of Siberia. Among these materials is the 2019 translation of the Gospel according to St Mark. Its publication has provided researchers with an extensive text that can serve as a foundation for further linguistic studies. The article aims to present conclusions stemming from the analysis of this translation with the aim of resolving issues arising from the fact that the language lacks lexical items denoting specific referents. Given the extensive nature of the material, it is not possible to present all the findings of the analysis in the confines of a brief article. Therefore, our focus is on the semantics of the word šübür adj. & n. ‘bad; wrong; evil’ in the translation of the Gospel.

In a revisionist reading of Bede’s account of the miraculous transformation of the lay brother Cædmon into a skilled poet in the Anglo-Saxon vernacular, this essay proposes that his bicultural origins (British, Anglo-Saxon) and poetic skill won him patronage in the retinue of King Oswiu of Northumbria, promoter of the Christian mission of conversion and Hiberno-Latin learning, and founder of the Abbey of Whitby, to which his elderly retainer would have been retired. The adjustments to the story found in Bede, most importantly the omission of Cædmon’s early secular career, enhance his framing story of divine intervention in the birthing of a vernacular poet through a sequence of architectural contexts that are reflected on the greater scale in Cædmon’s own creation poem. Bede’s account of the poet and the chapters that bracket it in the Historia illustrate his overriding concern for Church reform.
