Get PDFŠī raksta mērķis ir iepazīstināt ar lingvistiskās ainavas metodi un izskaidrot tās priekšrocības ne tikai valodnieku pētījumos, bet arī tās ieviešanā mācību procesā skolās un augstskolās. Pēc šī nelielā ievada vēlamies jums parādīt ne tikai metodes ieviešanas gaitu, bet arī pašreizējo attīstības stadiju. Mēs iepazīstināsim arī ar 2008. gada sākumā izstrādāto projektu ,,Latvijas lingvistiskā ainava Baltijas valstu kontekstā”, kuru arī šobrīd realizējam Rēzeknes Augstskolā (maģistra studiju programmas ,,Filoloģija” studenti un divi docētāji). Tāpat tiks dots neliels ieskats par projektā gūtajiem rezultātiem un problēmām, ar kurām saskārāmies pētījuma laikā, kā arī iepazīstināsim ar jauniegūto pieredzi.The purpose of this article is to introduce the linguistic landscape method and explain its advantages not only in the research of linguists, but also in its implementation in the learning process in schools and high schools. After this little introduction, we want to show you not only the implementation progress of the method but also the current stage of development. We will introduce also with the project developed at the beginning of 2008,,Linguistic landscape of Latvia in the Baltic States in the context", which we are also currently implementing at Rēzek nes University of Applied Sciences (master's study programs "Philology" students and two lecturers). It will even give a little insight into the project the results and problems we encountered during the research, as well as introduce the newly gained experience
Funktionalisierte Variation in Handschriften
Get PDFIn contrast to printed letters, handwritten texts show a larger amount of variation regarding letter shape and letter contact. This variation though might not be totally random but could follow a certain grammatical or structural function. By analysing a corpus of 10.117 graphs written by four writers, this paper explores which structures and which functions correlate. More precisely, it will be shown that the shape of certain letters might indicate syllabic, morphologic od prosodic structures. In addition, it will be shown that handwritten texts present the words’ structure better than printed texts could do. Overall, this paper points out how handwritten scripts show the graphematic principles known from printing even better than printed texts do
Cultural and linguistic minorities in the Russian Federation and the European Union. Comparative studies on equality and diversity
No full textThis is the first comprehensive volume to compare the sociolinguistic situations of minorities in Russia and in Western Europe. As such, it provides insight into language policies, the ethnolinguistic vitality and the struggle for reversal of language shift, language revitalization and empowerment of minorities in Russia and the European Union. The volume shows that, even though largely unknown to a broader English-reading audience, the linguistic composition of Russia is by no means less diverse than multilingualism in the EU. It is therefore a valuable introduction into the historical backgrounds and current linguistic, social and legal affairs with regard to Russia’s manifold ethnic and linguistic minorities, mirrored on the discussion of recent issues in a number of well-known Western European minority situations
Gälisch in Schottland. Neue Impulse durch das neue Parlament
Get PDFDurch den Dezentralisierungsprozess in Großbritannien gibt es seit etwa einem Jahr neue Hoffnung für ein dauerhaftes Überleben der gälischen Sprache in Schottland. Mit der Einrichtung eines schottischen Parlaments, das seit Mai 1999 für innere Belange Schottlands verantwortlich ist, ist die gälischsprachige Bevölkerung viel näher an das Machtzentrum heran gerückt
Korpora zur deutschen Sprache in Österreich. System- und soziolinguistische Perspektiven
Get PDFDer Beitrag liefert einen Einblick in korpuslinguistische Projekte und Aktivitäten aus dem österreichischen Sprachraum. Der Fokus liegt auf zwei primär auf die Analyse gesprochener Sprache ausgerichteten Korpora (DiÖ-Korpus und WBÖ-Korpus) sowie auf dem medial wie konzeptionell schriftlich angelegten Austrian Media Corpus. Institutionell eingebettet sind die Korpora in den Spezialforschungsbereich „Deutsch in Österreich (DiÖ)“ sowie in die Aktivitäten des Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage (ACDH-CH) an der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Die theoretisch-methodologische Perspektive der Diskussion ist eine variationslinguistische, wobei sozio- und systemlinguistische Aspekte im Beitrag Berücksichtigung finden
“Make it happen!” Verbs as markers of agency increase message effectiveness
Get PDFVerbs may be attributed to higher agency than other grammatical categories. In Study 1, we confirmed this hypothesis with archival datasets comprising verbs (N = 950) and adjectives (N = 2115). We then investigated whether verbs (vs. adjectives) increase message effectiveness. In three experiments presenting potential NGOs (Studies 2 and 3) or corporate campaigns (Study 4) in verb or adjective form, we demonstrate the hypothesized relationship. Across studies, (overall N = 721) grammatical agency consistently increased message effectiveness. Semantic agency varied across contexts by either increasing (Study 2), not affecting (Study 3), or decreasing (Study 4) the effectiveness of the message. Overall, experiments provide insights in to the meta-semantic effects of verbs – demonstrating how grammar may influence communication outcomes
Towards an integrated E-Dictionary application – The case of an English to Zulu dictionary of possessives
Get PDFThis paper describes a first version of an integrated e-dictionary translating possessive constructions from English to Zulu. Zulu possessive constructions are difficult to learn for non-mother tongue speakers. When translating from English into Zulu, a speaker needs to be acquainted with the nominal classification of nouns indicating possession and possessor. Furthermore, (s)he needs to be informed about the morpho-syntactic rules associated with certain combinations of noun classes. Lastly, knowledge of morpho-phonetic changes is also required, because these influence the orthography of the output word forms. Our approach is a novel one in that we combine e-lexicography and natural language processing by developing a (web) interface supporting learners, as well as other users of the dictionary to produce Zulu possessive constructions. The final dictionary that we intend to develop will contain several thousand nouns which users can combine as they wish. It will also translate single words and frequently used multiword expressions, and allow users to test their own translations. On request, information about the morpho-syntactic and morpho-phonetic rules applied by the system are displayed together with the translation. Our approach follows the function theory: the dictionary supports users in text production, at the same time fulfilling a cognitive function
The Latgalian language as a regional language in Latvia: A characterisation and implications in the context of languages in Europe
Get PDFThis article looks at Latgalian from a perspective of a classification of languages. It starts by discussing relevant terms relating to sociolinguistic language types. It argues that Latgalian and its speakers show considerable similarities with many languages in Europe which are considered to be regional languages – hence, also Latgalian should be classified as such. In a second part, the article uses sociolinguistic data to indicate that the perceptions of speakers confirm this classification. Therefore, Latgalian should also officially be treated with the respect that other regional languages in Europe enjoy
