Continuous time integration for changing type systems. ETNA - Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis
No full textWe consider variational time integration using continuous Galerkin-Petrov methods applied to evolutionary systems of changing type. We prove optimal-order convergence of the error in a cGP-like norm and conclude the paper with some numerical examples and conclusions
Digitising a corpus of Austrian dialect recordings from the 20th century
No full textThe Corpus of Austrian Dialect Recordings from the 20th Century comprises 2442 dialect recordings from the Phonogrammarchiv’s holdings on magnetic tape from fieldwork conducted in the years 1951 to 1995 by German philologists Eberhard Kranzmayer, Maria Hornung, Werner Bauer, Herbert Tatzreiter and others. They cover all provinces of Austria as well as linguistic varieties of German spoken in Northern Italy, Hungary and former Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. In a project cooperation of the Phonogrammarchiv with the Research Department “Variation and Change of German in Austria” (both Austrian Academy of Sciences) and the Austrian Science Fund Special Research Programme “German in Austria” (F60), these recordings are now digitised, annotated and analysed, and will be made searchable in a database. In this article we introduce and discuss the corpus and address various digitisation and metadata-related issues with special attention to real-world questions and problems encountered
(Dis)continuities in the diachrony of the Greek lexicon: The learned component in the light of a corpus analysis
No full textA most notable feature of Standard Modern Greek (SMG) lexicon is the abundance of pairs of lexemes of similar meaning which belong to different registers. Thus, while one lexeme pertains to the colloquial language and is widely used both in oral and written speech, a semantically akin or even synonymous word of Ancient (i.e., Classical) Greek (AG) origin is also attested in specific contexts. The latter ones are usually described as part of the “archaic” or “learned” component of the Modern Greek (MG) lexicon. In the light of three case studies, our paper aims at investigating this variation by conducting research through diachronic corpora. We intend to disperse certain misconceptions concerning lexical change (which is erroneously interpreted as a straightforward replacement of an “older” word with a new one) and to introduce the concepts of adstratal and superstratal lexicon along with the theory of prototypicality and exaptation in the relevant research. Along with dealing with the diachrony of the Greek lexicon, our account sketches a first theoretical framework for investigating the lexicon of languages with a long-recorded history and diglossic contradictions. Accordingly, it emphasizes the vital role of corpora research in diachronic semantics and onomasiolog

No full textDual Citizenship Acceptance and Immigrant Naturalisation Propensity in the Netherlands: The Relevance of Origin- and Destination-Country Rules. Sitzungsberichte der philosophisch-historischen Klasse|Dual Citizenship and Naturalisation|
No full textThere is ample evidence that the possibility of holding dual citizenship is a key predictor of immigrant naturalisation. Over past decades, both migrant origin and destination countries have liberalised rules with regards to dual citizenship. Nevertheless, the acceptance of dual citizenship remains contested and a few countries have gone against the global tide by (re-)introducing restrictions. In this chapter we investigate the role of dual citizenship acceptance in origin and destination countries for immigrants’ propensity to naturalise in the Netherlands, in the period around the reintroduction of the renunciation requirement there in 1997. While a declining post-reform trend in the number of naturalisations has been widely observed, there is limited research on the heterogenous impact of dual citizenship acceptance. We use individual-level register data and apply a Cox proportional hazards regression to analyse the propensity to naturalise among immigrants who could naturalise with or without dual citizenship. We identify dual citizenship acceptance by combining the changing regulations in the Netherlands with information on origin-country citizenship rules around the world. We find that the propensity to naturalise is higher among those who can hold dual citizenship and remains so almost two decades after migration to the host country. We show that dual citizenship acceptance especially affects naturalisation rates among immigrants from EU and other highly developed countries
