    The ongoing excavations on the hill of Mygdalia near Patras give us the opportunity of a comprehensivestudy of domestic and tomb material and provide means of understanding early Mycenaean western Achaia. Mygdaliawas founded in the transitional MH III/LH I period and became a local centre in the early Mycenaean period. The settlementwas built on three successive terraces. The lower terrace was supported by a massive enclosure and retaining wallthat seems to be part of the original plan. Substantial architectural remains, including a large building, floor deposits,pottery and metal finds as well as a tholos tomb of LH IIB–IIIA1 date testify to the rise of a local elite. The transition tothe Palatial period was troubled, as witnessed by the abandonment of buildings and the plundering of the tholos tomb

    Investigating the linguistic representativeness of Early Modern Greek Corpora

    No full text
    Following a poorly documented period in the history of vernacular Greek (6th-12th c.), the late 15th century sets the beginning of a linguistic era characterized by a quantitatively and qualitatively incomparable production of prose texts written in “common” language. It is at this point that classicizing Greek stops dominating in writing, and a new linguistic variety – albeit a very diverse and fluid one – Early Modern Greek (EMG) starts growing rapidly as a literacy language. The development of this new variety is manifested in its widespread use as literary language (in texts with aesthetic function), as well as in its use as a simple scripta, namely a written vernacular for legal, administrative, commercial, and other functions. Despite its significance in the history of Greek, this period remains to a large extent unexplored and underrepresented in Greek language corpora. On this view, our understanding of EMG depends crucially on the representativeness of the few available corpora. The aim of this paper is to investigate the linguistic representativeness of EMG corpora, and to explore possible associations between observed linguistic patterns and corpora design. Focusing on the distribution of contrastive and reformulation markers, our study reveals that the linguistic data illustrated in the available EMG corpora are divergent and largely dependent on the representation of variables, such as text form (poetry/prose), period, geographical region, and genr

    Dual 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|

    There 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
