Unreferenced date December 2009 The OldWorld Landowners , a short story written in 1835 , is the first tale in the Mirgorod Gogol Mirgorod collection by Nikolai Gogol . A bittersweet and ironic reworking of the Baucis and Philemon legend, it is a simple story that represents the mature Gogol and hints at his later works. Plot Gogol opens by providing a romantic description of landowners in the countryside, giving particular attention to minute details. The two landowners, Afanasy Ivanovich and Pulkheria Ivanovna Tovstogub live peacefully together in a remote village. The descriptions of them fit into the Slavophile tradition, comparing them strikingly against urban Russians, particularly in Saint Petersburg , who are referred to as paltry contemptible creatures. The two old landowners live in peace, with a mutual love that brings a sense of sympathy. The bulk of the opening focuses on their day to day lives, eating jelly, making jokes and so forth. Eventually, Gogol introduces Pulkheria s grey cat, which Afanasy jokes about, wondering why anyone would waste time with such a creature. The cat is introduced with a sense of foreboding, with Gogol commenting that little things can affect the stability of the strongest realities a melancholy incident that transformed forever the life of that peaceful nook . The cat gets away at one point, and Pulkheria finds it shortly thereafter in a feral state. Though it comes back to her and goes inside the house to be fed, the cat seems strangely different and eventually flees the house to never return. Pulkheria then sinks into thought, believing that death will soon come for her. She grows ill and weary and dies, leaving Afanasy alone. He progressively breaks down, disturbed by the smallest things for they remind him of Pulkheria. The entire area he had control over slowly becomes more degraded as his condition worsens, and he himself ...

Its goal is to further the study of Generative grammar Generative Grammar by organizing an annual Spring linguistics conference and periodical summer schools, and by publishing a newsletter that discusses current intellectual and organizational issues in the study of Generative Grammar. It was founded in an attempt to provide an annual meeting for European researchers in Generative Grammar who felt themselves largely excluded from other organizations in the late 1970s. Its founding document, the so called GLOW Manifesto authored by Jan Koster , Henk van Riemsdijk and Jean Roger Vergnaud , declared that generative linguistics acquired a new momentum in Europe after Noam Chomsky Chomsky s 1973 paper Conditions on transformations and sought to reflect that momentum with a new organization. By the beginning of the 21st century, GLOW had emerged as one of the leading organizations in linguistics internationally, as well as in Europe. Sister conferences to the annual GLOW meeting in Europe have been organized under the rubric GLOW Asia in Japan, Korea and India, and the European GLOW conference itself has travelled as far south as Morocco and as far north as Troms . The 2009 GLOW Colloquium was hosted by the University of Nantes in France , and the 2010 Colloquium will be held in Wroclaw , Poland .
