No full textWithin the framework of the Paris Peace Treaties after World War I, a structure of various international bodies was created in order to implement numerous provisions. For the most part, their significance and their activities in the interwar period have receded into the background, especially concerning the lesser known parts of the Peace Treaties. Therefore, this contribution aims to provide an overview of the bodies linked to the Austrian Peace Treaty, the Treaty of St. Germain, showing their diversity regarding their significance, legal nature and legal basis, composition, scope of functions, duration and their relations with the Austrian Republic

No full textThe multilingualism of medieval England especially in the Middle English period, has for long been the subject of research in historical linguistics, literature, and medieval studies, to name but a few. It is particularly visible in the monolingual texts in the different medieval languages of literacy (Latin and Old English in the Old English period, and French, Latin and English in the Middle English period), where it has left traces in the lexicon and grammar of English. More recently, the numerous multilingual texts from medieval England have attracted increased attention, not least because they can be seen as written evidence for code-switching, a well-known discourse strategy in multilingual societies. Multilingual sermons are among the best-known text types showing this mixing of languages, and they are found from the Old English period onwards, though they are particularly well attested from the later Middle English period. The present paper will look at the main types of multilingual sermons from medieval England, both from the Old English and the Middle English periods. It will, however, go beyond this and place such sermons in the context of other medieval multilingual text types. Based on the analysis of a range of medieval multilingual texts, we will show that multilingual sermons, especially the so-called »macaronic sermons«, are not as unique as sometimes claimed in sermon studies. After a critical discussion of the traditional criteria for defining »macaronic« texts, we will argue that such texts can be better accounted for on the basis of functional classifications as provided by modern code-switching theories. Such an approach in no way reduces the special nature of »macaronic sermons«, but it firmly places them in the wider bilingual context of medieval England and the multilingual strategies regularly used by its speakers and writers in a variety of text types. The contextualisation of multilingual sermons in this wider context of written multilingual texts will hopefully lead to a better understanding of multilingual sermons from medieval England and possibly also those from other European countries
Typology and Spectrum of Latin-Irish and Latin-English Codeswitches in Medieval Sermon Literature. Medieval Worlds|Rethinking Scholastic Communities in Medieval Eurasia - Volume 12. 2020 medieval worlds Volume 12. 2020|
No full textOver the twenty-five years since the seminal publication of Siegfried Wenzel’s Macaronic Sermons in 1994, the application of modern code-switching theory to historical homilies has become habitual. Although many authors now make use of Myers-Scotton’s Matrix Language Frame concepts, the present study presents the advantages of Muysken’s approach, which is instead based on notions of grammatical government. The threefold typological model developed by Muysken turns out to be beneficial for the determination of difficult syntactic structures. Such difficulties include diamorphs, words which may belong to more than one language, and directionality, which denotes the language underlying the code-switching components. Computerised analysis is shown to be aided by adopting this theoretical typology model by Muysken. A sample syntactic analysis is tailored to constructions concerning subjects and objects. Using the threefold categorisation contributes to the understanding of the differences in dependency and linearity between Latin-Irish and Latin-English code-switching. Additional elements of late-medieval multilingual sermons in these two areas are indicative of other linguistic strategies within the spectrum of bilingualism which can complement or compete with code-switching. Convergence and variance are consequently characterised in several collections of insular sermons to achieve an innovative insight into the alternatives available to deal with ambiguity

Writing Place History, Living Place History: Dimensions of Student Learning in a Geomedia-based Holocaust Education Environment. GI_Forum|GI_Forum 2020, Volume 2|
No full textAs contemporary witnesses of the Holocaust in both family and institutional environments disappear, Holocaust Education has to deal with a radical change. A wide variety of digital, sometimes spatially-explicit, learning environments have been developed that could be called ‘virtually interactive’. Only a few of these learning environments allow for research-based learning, and even fewer have been evaluated according to the aims of Holocaust Education itself, or with regard to the digital tools used. This contribution presents central aspects of an evaluation of a research- and geomedia-based learning environment. It was tested with students at various schools in Vienna’s second district, specifically in the Stuwerviertel, which was a place of widespread deportation during the Nazi regime. In this paper, we concentrate on three domains: (1) the usability of currently available tools, (2) the emotional side of the research-based learning process, and (3) the contributions of the learning environment to the formation of the political subject
The conditions for Philistine ethnogenesis. Ägypten und Levante|Ägypten und Levante XXX 30|
No full textThe origins of the Philistines have traditionally been understood within the context of a migration of “Sea Peoples” at the beginning of the Iron Age. However, excavations in other areas of the eastern Mediterranean have not yielded compelling evidence of a large-scale migration. We contend that migration is still the best explanation of the evidence, but the effect on the archaeological record of the disparate responses of the hostcommunities into which the immigrants settled has been overlooked. Whereas those immigrants who settled in places such as Cilicia, the Amuq Plain, and Phoenicia encountered a decentralized political landscape into which they were quickly absorbed, the immigrants who landed in the southern Levant faced a still-powerful Egypt which was able to confine them. Within a restricted space, the immigrant Sea Peoples and indigenous Canaanites were galvanized into a unique Philistine ethnos
