Alf Nilsen-Børsskog — The Author Chosen by the Language
No full textThis article discusses Alf Nilsen-Børsskog’s four-volume series of novels Elämän jatko [Continuation of life, 2004–2015], seen as the first literary works treating the Kven culture from a native perspective. Nilsen-Børsskog’s novels are analysed as constituting a “counterstory”, a term coined in the postcolonial cultural research paradigm to refer to self-representation. The Kvens have been considered a national minority in Norway since 1999, and their language has been an official minority language since 2005. The present author scrutinizes how Nilsen-Børsskog’s work differs from previous literary descriptions of this minority, often marked by the frequent use of stereotypes of the Kven language and culture

Johann Siegmund Valentin Popowitsch (Janez Žiga Valentin Popovič), Vocabula Austriaca et Stiriaca 1-2 (Frankfurt am Main 2004)
No full textThe Austrian dictionary composed by the Slovenian scho-lar Janez Žiga Valentin Popovič (1705-1774) in the third quarter of the 18th century was only published in 2004, and edited by Richard Reutner, who wrote an extensive introduction to it. The dictionary comprises many language-geographical data for the German language, excellent explanations and many comparisons with much information provided regarding Popovic's mother tongue. The author broad horizon is admirable, especially with regard to the German language area and the linguistic literature of that time.Avstrijski slovar, ki ga je v tretji četrtini 18. stoletja sestavil slovenski učenjak Janez Žiga Valentin Popovič (1705-1774), je izšel šele leta 2004 v uredništvu Richarda Reutnerja, kije k njemu napisal obsežen uvod. Slovar vsebuje mnogo jezikovnogeografskih podatkov za nemščino, odlične razlage in marsikaj primerjalnega, veliko pa se najde tudi v zvezi s Popovičevo materinščino. Občudovanja vredna je avtorjeva razgledanost predvsem po nemškem jezikoslovnem prostoru in po takratni jezikoslovni literaturi
Valentin N. Volóchinov: um filósofo da ciência da linguagem
No full textThis text address the work of Russian scholar Valentin N. Vološinov, author of the book Marxism and the Philosophy of Language. The objective is to demonstrate a set of characteristics that place Vološinov as a participant in the critique of science movement, which had its epicenter in Germany, between the years 1840 and 1900. To this end, in addition to a general reflection, which recovers the meaning of the term “criticism” most present in the academic environment of the time, this text considers two points of the much mentioned – and, apparently, somewhat misunderstood – opposition of the Russian thinker to the linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure, as this linguistics is presented in the Course in General Linguistics. Finally, by way of provocation, this text outlines a few words about the proximity between the epistemological works of Valentin N. Vološinov and Wilhelm Dilthey.Este texto aborda la obra del estudioso ruso Valentin N. Voloshinov, autor de la obra Marxismo y filosofía del lenguaje. El objetivo es demostrar un conjunto de características que sitúan a Voloshinov como participante del movimiento de crítica científica, que tuvo su epicentro en Alemania, entre los años 1840 y 1900. Para ello, además de una reflexión general, que recupera el significado del término “crítica” más presente en el ambiente académico de la época, se consideran dos puntos de la tan mencionada –y, aparentemente, algo incomprendida– oposición del pensador ruso a la lingüística de Ferdinand de Saussure, tal como se presenta esta última en el curso de lingüística general. Al final, a modo de provocación, se esbozan algunas palabras sobre la proximidad entre las obras epistemológicas de Valentin N. Voloshinov y Wilhelm Dilthey.O presente texto aborda o trabalho do estudioso russo Valentin N. Volóchinov, autor da obra Marxismo e filosofia da linguagem.

Dal genere all'allegoria: concerti di Valentin de Boulogne nei disegni e nelle stampe di traduzione
No full textLa studiosa, muovendo dall’analisi di un dipinto di Leandro Bassano, conosciuto attraverso una stampa di fine Settecento, sottolinea i collegamenti tra la figurazione veneta del concerto e il linguaggio utilizzato nei quadri musicali da Caravaggio e dai suoi seguaci.
I seguaci della manfrediana methodus usavano descrivere i momenti musicali inserendoli nell’atmosfera scura delle taverne e dei vari ritrovi mondani. Gli strumenti musicali, raffigurati in queste scene si ricollegano ad una complessa simbologia. Gradualmente il concerto dipinto assume significati reconditi che travalicano l’apparente consesso di musicisti: ora i concetti di armonia e di musica si fondono nella definizione figurativa del concerto allegorico.
Valentin de Boulogne non tardò a farsi la nomea di raffinato esecutore di composizioni di genere, in particolare a carattere musicale, successivamente tradotte a stampa. Molti motivi raffigurati, in un suggestivo schema di riflessi, appaiono all’interno delle altre scene di concerti e riunioni varie realizzate dal pittore, ove le espressioni naturalistiche si confondono con gli elementi simbolici.
Alla luce delle osservazioni e dei dati riferiti in questo studio, si può avanzare l’idea che la scena allegorica ambientata in taverna sia una delle principali espressioni della tradizione manfrediana, particolarmente nelle declinazioni di Valentin.
Infine si proposne l'attribuzione al frnacese di un disegno rintracciato dall’autrice, e tradizionalmente attribuito a Rutilio Manetti; si aprono interessanti quesiti, costituendo un inedito tassello nella storia del dipinto di Valentin de Boulogne Concerto a quattro personaggi e un bevitore (New York in collezione privata, 1626).The author analyses a painting by Leandro bassano, through a print of the late eighteenth century, and empahsizes the connections between the figuration used in Venetian concert painting and the language applied in the musical paintings by Caravaggio a nd his followers.
Finally the analysis of a drawing found by the author, and tradinally attributed to Rutilio Manetti, opens up interesting questions in regard to the history of the paioonting Concert with Characteres and a Drinker by Valentin de Boulogne, now in private collection in New York
Learning to Speak Indigenous Languages with Compassionate Listening Practices
No full textIndigenous language reclamation programs are considered an important way to reclaim indigenous identities and empower indigenous community members. Yet, without enough considerations for the participants, they could inhibit the language learning of those participants.The goal of this article is to empower Ryukyuan indigenous language learners using compassionate listening practices to support their learning. The author focuses on language reclamation activities targeting new speakers of the Yaeyaman language. The author analyzed interviews with new speakers (learners) of Yaeyaman and conducted videorecordings.This article identifies the following three issues: (1) linguistic purism, (2) linguistic in security, and (3) lack of ethical principles. These problems seem to hinder new speakers’ motivation to learn and speak their heritage languages. The author found that the emotions and feelings of new speakers are often overlooked and thus, suggests that new learners can be empowered by addressing their feelings through compassionate listen practices. Hence, we need to focus on the emotional support of language learners. The article proposes using compassionate listening practices to empower language learners who are embedded in social power struggles both from outside and inside the language community.https://doi.org/10.33063/diva-472014</p
Top-quark pair production at hadron colliders
No full textIn this thesis we investigate several phenomenologically important properties of top-quark pair production at hadron colliders. We calculate double differential cross sections in two different kinematical setups, pair invariant-mass (PIM) and single-particle inclusive (1PI) kinematics. In pair invariant-mass kinematics we are able to present results for the double differential cross section with respect to the invariant mass of the top-quark pair and the top-quark scattering angle. Working in the threshold region, where the pair invariant mass M is close to the partonic center-of-mass energy sqrt{hat{s}}, we are able to factorize the partonic cross section into different energy regions. We use renormalization-group (RG) methods to resum large threshold logarithms to next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy. On a technical level this is done using effective field theories, such as heavy-quark effective theory (HQET) and soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). The same techniques are applied when working in 1PI kinematics, leading to a calculation of the double differential cross section with respect to transverse-momentum pT and the rapidity of the top quark. We restrict the phase-space such that only soft emission of gluons is possible, and perform a NNLL resummation of threshold logarithms. The obtained analytical expressions enable us to precisely predict several observables, and a substantial part of this thesis is devoted to their detailed phenomenological analysis. Matching our results in the threshold regions to the exact ones at next-to-leading order (NLO) in fixed-order perturbation theory, allows us to make predictions at NLO+NNLL order in RG-improved, and at approximate next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in fixed order perturbation theory. We give numerical results for the invariant mass distribution of the top-quark pair, and for the top-quark transverse-momentum and rapidity spectrum. We predict the total cross section, separately for both kinematics. Using these results, we analyze subleading contributions to the total cross section in 1PI and PIM originating from power corrections to the leading terms in the threshold expansions, and compare them to previous approaches. We later combine our PIM and 1PI results for the total cross section, this way eliminating uncertainties due to these corrections. The combined predictions for the total cross section are presented as a function of the top-quark mass in the pole, the minimal-subtraction (MS), and the 1S mass scheme. In addition, we calculate the forward-backward (FB) asymmetry at the Tevatron in the laboratory, and in the ttbar rest frames as a function of the rapidity and the invariant mass of the top-quark pair at NLO+NNLL. We also give binned results for the asymmetry as a function of the invariant mass and the rapidity difference of the ttbar pair, and compare those to recent measurements. As a last application we calculate the charge asymmetry at the LHC as a function of a lower rapidity cut-off for the top and anti-top quarks.Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit mehreren phänomenologisch relevanten Eigenschaften der Top-Quark Paarproduktion an Hadronen-Beschleunigern. Wir berechnen doppelt differentielle Wirkungsquerschnitte mit Hilfe zweier unterschiedlicher kinematischer Rahmenbedingungen, “pair invariant-mass” (PIM) und “single-particle inclusive” (1PI) Kinematik. Innerhalb PIM sind wir in der Lage Ergebnisse für den doppelt differentiellen Wirkungsquerschnitt (WQ) bzgl. der invarianten Masse des Top-Antitop Paares und des Top-Quark Streuwinkels zu geben. In dem Schwellbereich wo die invariante Masse M des Top-Antitop Paares fast der partonischen Schwerpunktsenergie sqrt{hat{s}} entspricht, sind wir in der Lage den WQ in verschiedene Energiebereiche zu faktorisieren. Mit Methoden der Renormierungsgruppe (RG) resummieren wir numerisch große Logarithmen auf “next-to-next-to-leading- logarithmic” (NNLL) Ordnung. Um dies zu erzielen wenden wir effektive Feldtheorien wie “soft-collinear effective theory” (SCET) und “heavy-quark effective theory” (HQET) an. Mit den gleichen Methoden berechnen wir innerhalb der 1PI Kinematik den doppelt differentiellen WQ bzgl. des transversalen Impulses p⊥ und der Rapidität des Top-Quarks. Wird beschränken den Phasenraum so, dass nur Emissionen von niederenergetischen Gluonen möglich ist und resummieren Schwelbereichlogarithmen auf NNLL. Die analytischen Ausdrücke die wir erhalten ermöglichen es uns genaue Prognosen für mehrere Observablen zu machen und ein großer Teil dieser Arbeit beschäftigt sich damit diese im Detail zu studieren. Wir kombinieren unsere Schwellbereichresultate mit den allgemeingültigen “next-to-leading order” (NLO) Ergebnissen. Dies erlaubt es uns Vorhersagen auf NLO+NNLL in RG-verbesserter und auf approximierter “next-to-next-to-leading or- der” (NNLO) in “fixed order” Störungstheorie zu machen. Wir präsentieren Ergebnisse für das invariante-Masse Spektrum des Top-Antitop Paares sowie für das p⊥ und Rapiditäts Spektrum des Top-Quarks. Wir berechnen den totalen WQ getrennt in beiden kinematischen Rahmenbedingungen welches es uns ermöglicht die Relevanz nichtführender Beiträge im Schwellbereich innerhalb PIM und 1PI zu analysieren und mit vorherigen Berechnungen zu vergleichen. Gegen Ende dieser Arbeit kombinieren wir unsere PIM und 1PI Vorhersagen für den totalen WQ was unter anderem zu einer Reduktion des systematischen Fehlers durch die oben genannten Beiträge führt. Die kombinierten Ergebnisse für den totalen WQ werden als Funktion der Top-Quark Masse im “pole”, “minimal-subtraktion” und 1S Schema gegeben. Des Weiteren Berechnen wir die “forward-backward” (FB) Asymmetrie am Tevatron im Laborsystem und im ttbar Ruhesystem als Funktion der Rapidität sowie der invarianten Masse des Top-Antitop Paares auf NLO+NNLL. Unsere Prognosen für die Asymmetrie als Funktion der invarianten Masse und der Rapiditätsdifferenz des Top-Antitop Paares unterteilen wir in verschiedene Wertebereiche und vergleichen dies mit neuen Messungen. Als letzte Anwendung unserer analytischen Resultate berechnen wir die Ladungs-Asymmetrie am LHC als Funktion einer unteren Grenze der Rapidität des Top und Antitop Quarks
