  • 3 commune

    коммуна, община
    Первые коммуны на территории США возникли в 70-х годах XVIII в. Коммуны, существовавшие до 1825, были основаны христианскими сектами, например, меннонитами [ Mennonites] и шекерами [ Shakers]. Позднее появились коммуны, основанные на идеях европейского утопического социализма [utopian communities], например, "Новая гармония" [ New Harmony] Р. Д. Оуэна [ Owen, Robert Dale] и "Брук фарм" [ Brook Farm]. Новые волны иммиграции привели в страну коммуны гуттеритов [Hutterites], теософов [Theosophists], богемцев [Bohemians], иудеев, христиан-социалистов, анархистов и др. В 60-х гг. XX в. возникла новая разновидность коммун. Тысячи молодых людей, в основном из семей "среднего" [ middle class] и даже "верхнего среднего" класса [ upper middle class], получивших высшее образование, отказывались от благосостояния своих родителей и создавали в сельской местности коммуны, ставшие одной из основ "контркультуры" [ counterculture]. Такие коммуны обычно существовали не более года. В это же время стали возрождаться религиозные коммуны, как христианские, так и основанные на всевозможных восточных верованиях под началом гуру. Некоторые коммуны возникли при университетах или колледжах как альтернатива студенческим братствам [ fraternity]

It in general corresponds to the prepp. in loco—á, or in locum— til, whilst ór answers more to í; but it also frequently corresponds to yfir, um or í. It ranges between ór and frá, generally denoting the idea from the surface of, while ór means from the inner part, and frá from the outer part or border. The motion from a hill, plain, open place is thus denoted by af; by ór that from an enclosed space, depth, cavity, thus af fjalli, but ór of a valley, dale; af Englandi, but ór Danmörk, as mörk implies the notion of a deep wood, forest. The wind blows af landi, but a ship sets sail frá landi; frá landi also means a distance from: af hendi, of a glove, ring; ór hendi, of whatever has been kept in the hand (correl. to á hendi and í hendi). On the other hand af is more general, whilst frá and ór are of a more special character; frá denoting a departure, ór an impulse or force; a member goes home af þingi, whereas ór may denote an inmate of a district, or convey the notion of secession or exclusion from, Eb. 105 new Ed.; the traveller goes af landi, the exile ór landi: taka e-t af e-m is to take a thing out of one’s hand, that of taka frá e-m to remove out of one’s sight, etc. In general af answers to Engl. of, off, ór to out of, and frá to from: the Lat. prepp. ab, de, and ex do not exactly correspond to the Icelandic, yet as a rule ór may answer to ex, af sometimes to ab, sometimes to de. Of, off, from among; with, by; on account of by means of, because of concerning, in respect of.

    D. As a prefix to compounds distinction is to be made between:
    I. af privativum, denoting diminution, want, deduction, loss, separation, negation of, etc., answering indifferently to Lat. ab-, de-, ex-, dis-, and rarely to re- and se-, v. the following COMPDS, such as segja, dicere, but afsegja, negare; rækja, colere, but afrækja, negligere; aflaga, contra legem; skapligr, normalis, afskapligr, deformis; afvik, recessus; afhús, afhellir, afdalr, etc.
