SOUND ARCHIVES AS RESOURCE FOR THE ANALYSIS OF IDENTITY AND CONFLICT IN TUSCANY
No full textFrancesca Biliotti and Silvia Calamai examine Tuscan linguistic identity and the related questions of conflict as experienced by individuals and groups in the Second World War and after. The authors draw on material collected under the auspices of the Grammo-foni. Le soffitte della voce project, which aims
to discover, digitize, catalogue, and partially transcribe oral documents (e.g. oral biographies, ethnotexts, linguistic questionnaires, and oral literature)
collected in Tuscany (Calamai, 2012), a region as rich in sound documents (Andreini and Clemente, 2007) as it is in paper ones (Petrucci,
1994). For Biliotti and Calamai, sound archives function as an important (but neglected) resource for understanding the dynamics of identity and
conflict in Tuscany, at least from the 1940s on, and their essay focuses on three case studies from the Gra.fo sound archives, each of which casts a
different light on the dynamics of identity and conflict in Tuscany, and each of which refers to an archive which is particularly significant for such
issues. Thus, the first example illustrates historical conflicts (specifically the relationships between British Prisoners of War and those who helped
them in the area around Prato after the Armistice of September 1943), the second examines social conflict (specifically the experience of Aretine migrants
to Switzerland, France, Germany, and Belgium in the second half of the twentieth century), while the third concerns linguistic conflict (in
particular, the opposition between the Romagnol dialect and the dialect of Florence in the so-called Romagna Toscana)
Introduction: Sociophonetic perspectives on language variation
No full textPhonotactics deals with constraints shaping the form of speech. Constraints may either be universal or language-specific; they may be grounded on properties of the articulatory content or on auditory salience. By organizing the form of speech and enhancing perception, phonotactic constraints simplify language acquisition and storage. Therefore they play a fundamental role in cognition, both in children's acquisition and adult processing. This volume brings together some of the most relevant European projects currently dealing with phonotactics from an empirical perspective. Some of the papers deal in particular with morphonotactics, i.e. the area of intersection between phonotactics and morphotactics. In those contributions, evidence is provided supporting the hypothesis that a given sound sequence is processed differently when it occurs across a morpheme boundary, compared with the morpheme internal position. This volume is of particular importance for functionalist and naturalist approaches to phonological complexity. Universal preferences of sound organization and language-specific constraints on phoneme and morpheme concatenation are investigated in English, German, Dutch, Italian and Polish. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd
Towards a sociophonetic explanation of progressive and regressive assimilation in NC clusters
No full textDifferent patterns of place and manner assimilation in nasal+stop clusters in terms of different timing relationships between segments are investigated. The existence of strict internal balance conditions within the cluster is hypothesized and evaluated with respect to Italo-Romance dialectological data. The role of speech rate variation is also analyzed. Drawing together laboratory research and geolinguistic analysis of nasal allophones distribution, the present study aims at shedding light on the determinants of anticipatory and perseverative assimilation processes in homorganic nasal+stop clusters

CLARIN Resource Families for Oral History
No full textThe CLARIN Resource Families (CRF) initiative provides manually curated overviews of prominent language resources and technologies deposited across the distributed CLARIN infrastructure (Lenardič and Fišer 2022). The main aim of CRF is to support other core services of CLARIN from the perspective of the FAIR principles (Wilkinson et al. 2016). CRF enhances the findability and accessibility of CLARIN resources by collating them under their most common typological characteristic. The initiative facilitates re-use by providing comprehensive descriptions tailored to the unique technical features of each of the families, as well as their qualitative characteristics. Furthermore, CRF provides a funding instrument for external projects to contribute new overviews.
Though originally focused on written corpora (e.g., corpora of parliamentary proceedings, corpora of academic texts), in 2022, CRF was expanded to include corpora of oral history. At present one collection is currently featured – the Ravensbrück corpora (Calamai et al. 2022a) – whose creation was supported by the aforementioned CRF funding instrument. This corpus family contains 8 collections of recorded interviews with survivors of the female concentration camp Ravensbrück, conducted in different languages, such as English, German, Hebrew, and French. See https://www.clarin.eu/resource-families/oral-history-corpora. One collection is available for download (Collection Bruzzone; see Bruzzone and Beccaria Rolfi 1976) while the others can be streamed online.
The inclusion of the Ravensbrück corpora in CRF represents an illustrative example of how the CLARIN infrastructure incorporates and provides documentation for complex objects like oral history sources whose provenance and metadata documentation widely differ from standard written corpora and even from contemporary interviews born digitally. The team working on the Ravensbrück resource family (see Calamai et al. 2022b) availed themselves of CLARIN’s Component Metadata Infrastructure (CMDI), which is a framework for metadata description that “supports flexible definitions of metadata structure and semantics” by allowing researchers to “create and use their own [metadata] schema tailored specifically towards the requirements of [their] project” (Windhouwer and Goosen 2022: 194 and 199). All the 8 collections within the Ravensbrück family are accompanied by extensive CMDI metadata, prepared by Calamai et al. (2022a,b).
The peculiarity of the interviews in the Ravensbrück family is that they were mostly recorded on an analogue carrier (i.e., audio cassettes), so a new CMDI metadata profile was created that is tailored to such legacy interviews not born digitally. This metadata profile has additional components describing “information about the context in which the interviews were conducted” as well as “information about the process of digitisation” (Calamai et al. 2022a: 3). Being thus digitised, comprehensively described, and carefully curated, the Ravensbrück corpora present a unique opportunity to study and compare these historical interviews. To facilitate their use in research, CLARIN offers through its Speech data and Technology network (Draxler et al. 2020) an open-source web application called TranscriptionPortal (https://speechandtech.eu/transcription-portal), where certain audio recordings (e.g., Collection Bruzzone, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum) can be uploaded and then orthographically transcribed on the fly, with manual phonetic and word alignment for a variety of languages

Between linguistics and social psychology of language: the perception of non-native accents
No full textListeners can make several attitudinal judgments about a speaker based only on his/her speech. In many cases these judgments are in line with social stereotypes which are associated with the group that is represented by a certain language variety. The
matched- and verbal-guise techniques have been extensively used in the studies of language attitudes, in order to obtain reliable results on language as a marker of group identity. This paper presents a concise state-of-the art of research focusing on language attitudes, with particular attention to Italian, and provides grounds for methodological reflection through the discussion of a pilot study conducted by the author focusing on differences in how Standard Italian and three varieties of foreign accented speech (Albanian, Romanian and General American) are perceived by a sample of 97 high school students in a medium-sized city in central Italy
An affine Birkhoff--Kellogg type result in cones with applications to functional differential equations
No full textIn this short note we prove, by means of classical fixed point index, an
affine version of a Birkhoff--Kellogg type theorem in cones. We apply our
result to discuss the solvability of a class of boundary value problems for
functional differential equations subject to functional boundary conditions. We
illustrate our theoretical results in an example.Comment: 11 page
