anagnorisis

Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek ἀναγνώρισις (anagnṓrisis).

lbor

Det tredje ledet, anagnorisis, återuppståndelsen eller igenkännande som vid årsfesterna symboliseras av att trädet med sin nyutspruckna lövprakt bärs in som bevis på att livet ännu en gång återvänt, omtalas ofast enbart i mysteriespelen och ageras inte ut.

1986, Gunilla Domellöf, “Kapitel IV. Karin Boye och prosamodernismen”, in I oss är en mångfald levande, page 221:

The third element, anagnorisis, the resurrection, or recognition, which is symbolized at the annual festivals by the tree being carried in with its newly sprung foliage as evidence that life has once again returned, is most often mentioned only in the mystery plays and is not acted out.

I slutet får vi bevittna hur Fjalar, då han på höjden av sin självtillit får veta sanningen om sina barns öde, når fram till insikt om sin egen identitet. Detta sker genom yttre »anagnorisis», i Hjalmars berättelse, men främst genom inre: Avklädd sin rustning kommer Fjalar till insikt om sin maktlöshet. »Anagnorisis» kommer tematiskt och strukturellt också till uttryck som ett förhållande mellan att se och att inse.

2004, Kjell-Arne Brändström, et al., “Kung Fjalar. Kommentar av Kjell-Arne Brändström”, in Samlade skrifter XII:2, page 294:

In the end, we witness how Fjalar, when at the height of his self-confidence, learns the truth about his children's fate and comes to realize his own identity. This occurs through an outer "anagnorisis," in Hjalmar's narrative, but primarily through inner revelation: Stripped of his armor, Fjalar becomes aware of his powerlessness. "Anagnorisis" thematically and structurally also expresses a relationship between seeing and realizing.

Vad som är korrekt svenska väcker stort engagemang, inte minst bland språkpoliser som gärna påpekar fel på sociala medier.
– De verkar finnas i alla åldersgrupper och särskrivningar är det de ogillar allra mest, säger Anna Heuman vid Örebro universitet.

2022 June 8, “Stavfel och särskrivningar får språkpoliser att se rött [Spelling errors and incorrectly writing as separate words make grammar police see red]”, in Forskning.se:

What is correct Swedish arouses great commitment, not least among grammar police who like to point out mistakes on social media.
– They seem to be found in all age groups and incorrectly writing as separate words is what they dislike the most, says Anna Heuman at Örebro University.

Vid tryckningen har den skillnaden gjorts att särskrivning har brukats i klassiska citat och hopskrivning i nylatinska texter.

1941, Jacob Wallenberg, edited by Nils Afzelius, Samlade skrifter II, page 548:

When printing, the distinction has been made that writing as separate words has been used in classical quotations and compound words in neo-Latin texts.

Angående avstavningen få vi påpeka, att något förslag angående denna sak icke av oss gjorts, och vi anse, att denna fråga liksom frågorna om språkriktighet, särskrivning och annat dylikt icke böra sammanblandas med frågan om ljudbeteckningen.

1886 January 26, J. A. Lyttkens, F. A. Wulff, “I rättstafningsfrågan. [Regarding the issue of orthography.]”, in Svenska Dagbladet (letter to the editor), page 3:

Regarding the hyphenation, we may point out that we have not made any proposal regarding this matter, and we believe that this question, like the questions about correctness of language, writing as separate words and such, should not be mixed up with the question of the sound designation.

(orthography) writing as separate words; where two words are written with a space in between them, especially if the words should be put together as a compound word.

Kampanjen var utformad med en text som var skriven i allt mindre teckengrad vilket anmälaren menade tvingade folk att gå farligt nära perrongkanten för att kunna läsa hela budskapet, […] Nu svarar hamburgarkonkurrenten Max med en liknande kampanj signerad Åkestam Holst [reklambyrå], även den placerad i Stockholms tunnelbana, men med ett budskap som istället blir allt större i teckengrad.
