The comparative and superlative alternation in 1960s and 1970s written British English: Data from Braun (1982)
No full textThis dataset contains tabular files with information about the comparative and superlative alternation for 139 disyllabic adjectives in written British English. Data are from two corpora, which were compiled in the late 1970s by Albert Braun for his University of Zurich dissertation. The data were originally published in Braun (1982), the first empirical, corpus-based study on syntactic factors underlying English adjective gradation. The texts in the corpora cover four genres ("drama", "fiction", "newspaper", "nonfiction") and were published between 1957 and 1974. Since the focus of Braun (1982) is on syntactic factors underlying the choice between the two gradation forms (-er/-est vs. more/most), only adjectives allowing both strategies were included in the study. Tokens (817 in total) are coded for a range of syntactic variables including position (attributive/predicative/postnominal) and complementation by a than-phrase

Braun Micronplus Electric Shaver
No full textBraun has, over the years, cemented itself as a company filled with design classics, and one of those objects always associated with the company is their line of electric shavers. 1982 saw a radical advance in Braun's manufacturing capabilities, which enabled the hard/soft body of the Micron Plus Universal. The sleek steel body was covered in soft, rubbery black dots for grip. The power button was also now combined with the center slider button; slide it up one click to turn the razor on, slide it up another click to swing out and activate the clippers.Noe, Rain. 6 Mar. 2013, “A History of Braun Design, Part 1: Electric Shavers.” Core77, https://www.core77.com/posts/24437/a-history-of-braun-design-part-1-electric-shavers-2443
Braun AW 20 Watch
No full textThe AW 20 watch was designed by Dietrich Lubs, deputy head of Braun Design from 1995-2022, and he designed some of company's most successful and iconic products. The watch is quietly detailed and functionally and ergonomically precise, resulting in a triumph of Minimalist graphic design. Luxury and durability are implied in the stainless-steel casement and flawless leather strap. In design terms, it has influenced all subsequent Braun watches, as well as many other current mainstreammarket models, since the AW 20 wristwatch ceased production in 1998.“No. 882: Braun AW 20.” Essay.

Fejga Braun Oral History Interview
No full textOral history interview with Holocaust survivor Fejga Braun. Braun was born in a small town in eastern Poland in 1914, an area which is now part of Belarus. When she was eighteen, she left her hometown to visit her husband, who was working in another city. The next day, the war started and she was stranded without even a change of clothes. Her niece was at a nearby summer camp, so Braun rented a wagon and went to pick her up. During the war they lived in Russia, where Braun worked as a seamstress. Afterwards, they went to a displaced persons camp in Germany, then to Israel. Braun came to the United States in 1959, after divorcing her husband in Israel, and came to New York. She continued to work as a seamstress and has made dresses for three different First Ladies. Braun\u27s niece, Eva Gallay Gregoratos, has written two books about the Holocaust, one of which is about her aunt
