  • The Assignment of Grammatical Gender in German: Testing Optimal Gender Assignment Theory
    The Assignment of Grammatical Gender in German: Testing Optimal Gender Assignment Theory Emma Charlotte Corteen Trinity Hall September 2018 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The Assignment of Grammatical Gender in German: Testing Optimal Gender Assignment Theory Emma Charlotte Corteen Abstract The assignment of grammatical gender in German is a notoriously problematic phenomenon due to the apparent opacity of the gender assignment system (e.g. Comrie 1999: 461). Various models of German gender assignment have been proposed (e.g. Spitz 1965, Köpcke 1982, Corbett 1991, Wegener 1995), but none of these is able to account for all of the German data. This thesis investigates a relatively under-explored, recent approach to German gender assignment in the form of Optimal Gender Assignment Theory (OGAT), proposed by Rice (2006). Using the framework of Optimality Theory, OGAT claims that the form and meaning of a noun are of equal importance with respect to its gender. This is formally represented by the crucial equal ranking of all gender assignment constraints in a block of GENDER FEATURES, which is in turn ranked above a default markedness hierarchy *NEUTER » *FEMININE » *MASCULINE, which is based on category size. A key weakness of OGAT is that it does not specify what constitutes a valid GENDER FEATURES constraint. This means that, in theory, any constraint can be proposed ad hoc to ensure that an OGAT analysis yields the correct result. In order to prevent any constraints based on ‘postfactum rationalisations’ (Comrie 1999: 461) from being included in the investigation, the GENDER FEATURES constraints which have been proposed in the literature for German are assessed according to six criteria suggested by Enger (2009), which seek to determine whether there is independent evidence for a GENDER FEATURES constraint.

    Everyday Products in the Middle Ages Ages Middle the in Products Everyday The medieval marketplace is a familiar setting in popular and academic Everyday Products accounts of the Middle Ages, but we actually know very little about the people involved in the transactions that took place there, and how their lives were influenced by those transactions. We know still less about the in the Middle Ages complex networks of individuals whose actions allowed raw materials to be extracted, hewn into objects, stored and ultimately shipped for market. Crafts, Consumption and the Individual With these elusive individuals in mind, this volume will explore the worlds of actors involved in the lives of objects. We are particularly concerned in Northern Europe c. AD 800–1600 with everyday products - objects of bone, leather, stone, ceramics, and base metal - their production and use in medieval northern Europe. The volume brings together 20 papers, first presented at the event ‘Actors and Affordable Crafts: Social and Economic Networks in Medieval northern Europe’, organised by the Universities of Bergen and York in February 2011. Through diverse case studies undertaken by specialists, and a combination of leading edge techniques and novel theoretical approaches, we aim to illuminate the identities and lives of the medieval period’s oft-overlooked actors. This collection then, does not engage directly with the traditional foci of research into medieval crafts - questions of economics, politics, or technological development - but rather takes a social approach. Neither are we concerned with the writing of a grand historical narrative, but rather with the painting of a number of detailed portraits, which together may prove far more illuminating than any generalising broadbrush approach and Irene Baug Ashby P.

Bleuler) With permission of Bergischer Geschichtsverein, Bielefeld Back: Vriesenburg Plantation, Suriname Collection Kenneth Boumann (with permission) BRAHM, ROSENHAFT (EDS) ROSENHAFT BRAHM, SLAVERY HINTERLAND explores a neglected aspect of transatlantic slavery: the implication of a continental European hinterland. It focuses on Transatlantic Slavery and historical actors in territories that were not directly involved in the traffic in Africans but linked in various ways with the transatlantic slave business, Continental Europe, 1680-1850 the plantation economies that it fed and the consequences of its abolition. The volume unearths material entanglements of the Continental and Atlantic economies and also proposes a new agenda for the historical study of the relationship between business and morality. Contributors from the US, Britain EDITED BY FELIX BRAHM AND EVE ROSENHAFT and continental Europe examine the ways in which the slave economy touched on individual lives and economic developments in German-speaking Europe, Switzerland, Denmark and Italy. They reveal how these ‘hinterlands’ served as suppliers of investment, labour and trade goods for the slave trade and of materials for the plantation economies, and how involvement in trade networks contributed in turn to key economic developments in the ‘hinterlands’. The chapters range in time from the first, short-lived attempt at establishing a German slave-trading operation in the 1680s to the involvement of textile manufacturers in transatlantic trade in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. A key theme of the volume is the question of conscience, or awareness of being morally implicated in an immoral enterprise.

    DFG Priority Programme 1630 "Harbours from the Roman Period to the Middle Ages" Harbours as objects of interdisciplinary research – Archaeology + History + Geosciences Wednesday, 30.09.2015, 19:00 Opening-Lecture More than just one harbour – The case of Ephesus Sabine Ladstätter Thursday 1.10.2015 Keynote Lecture Hall H – Chair: Falko Daim 9.30 – 10.00 Roman and Medieval London: 40 years of interdisciplinary harbour research Gustav Milne London, sitting on the Thames at the head of a tidal estuary, has been the subject of considerable redevelopment in the post-war era. As a direct consequence of that regeneration programme, its ancient harbours have been the focus of detailed archaeological, historical and geoarchaeological study since 1972 particularly on the City waterfront, in Southwark on the south bank and, to a lesser extent, in Westminster. It is now known that the period from c AD50 to AD 1550 saw major changes in the port, including periods of abandonment and relocation. There were also changes in the tidal head and in the level of mean high and mean low water, in harbour topography, bridge construction, in ship-building technology, in the economic culture and financial frameworks, in the languages spoken and materials and volumes traded. Research has also shown the complex inter-relationships of all these themes. The early and late Roman harbours were both quite different, the former seeing major state investment. Following a period of abandonment from c AD 450-600, a new beach market developed on the Strand to the west of the old Roman City until AD900, when it too was abandoned.

  • A FRISIAN MODEL Henryk Sjaardema
    THE INDIVIDUATED SOCIETY: A FRISIAN MODEL Henryk Sjaardema Preface It has long seemed to me that the dynamic of human activity is directly related to ecological variables within the society. It is the intimate rela- tionship of-the individual to the requirements of his society that not only channels human energies, but provides a framework for value orientations as well. It is as if society were a vast complex of machinery and man the kinetic force driving it. As machinery falls into social disuse, malfunction and inoperation, man must turn to new or alternative avenues or see his kinetic energy fall into disuse. When the crucial social machinery becomes patterned and routinized a surplus of human energy is made available. The stable society has a way of rechanneling these energies into other roles. Where these addi- tional roles are not present-where energy becomes constricted--social revolu- tions transpire. This study has been directed toward one socio-economic segment of Western man in which the role of the individual has been measured against the ecological requirements of the society. This pilot study is an attempt to probe variables which seem crucial to the rise of the individuated society. Introduction Purpose. To investigate the individuated basis for Frisian society. If the total society can be considered in its broadest sense, as a social configuration which transcends the normal limits of thinking built into political conceptions of the totalitarian state, my meaning will be made clear- er. This social configuration is one which places the requirements of the commun'ity on all levels above that of the commnity's individual constituents.

We scrutinize the applicability of the law of one price to land markets and distinguish between absolute and relative versions of this “law”. Panel data unit root and stationarity tests are applied to land sale prices in the German state Lower Saxony. Three main clusters with different price developments are detected. Our results indicate that the law of one price holds only locally due to structural differences among regions.

    For the official published version, see Lingua 133 (Sept. 2013), pp. 73–83. Link: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/00243841 External Influences on English: From its Beginnings to the Renaissance, D. Gary Miller, Oxford University Press (2012), xxxi + 317 pp., Price: £65.00, ISBN 9780199654260 Lexical borrowing aside, external influences are not the main concern of most histories of the English language. It is therefore timely, and novel, to have a history of English (albeit only up to the Renaissance period) that looks at English purely from the perspective of external influences. Miller assembles his book around five strands of influence: (1) Celtic, (2) Latin and Greek, (3) Scandinavian, (4) French, (5) later Latin and Greek input, and he focuses on influences that left their mark on contemporary mainstream English rather than on regional or international varieties. This review looks at all chapters, but priority is given to Miller’s discussions of structural influence, especially on English syntax, morphology and phonology, which often raise a number of theoretical issues. Loanwords from various sources, which are also covered extensively in the book, will receive slightly less attention. Chapter 1 introduces the Indo-European and Germanic background of English and gives short descriptions of the languages with which English came into contact. This is a good way to start the book, but the copious lists of loanwords from Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, German, Low German, Afrikaans etc., most of which appear in English long after the Renaissance stop-off point, were not central to its aims. It would have been better to use this space to expand upon the theoretical framework employed throughout the book.

  • Keeping up with the Dutch Internal Colonization and Rural Reform in Germany, 1800–1914

Jones HCM 3 (2): 173–194 http://doi.org/10.18352/hcm.482 Abstract Recent research on internal colonization in Imperial Germany empha- sizes how racial and environmental chauvinism drove plans for agri- cultural settlement in the ‘polonized’ German East. Yet policymakers’ dismay over earlier endeavours on the peat bogs of northwest Germany and their admiration for Dutch achievements was a constant refrain. This article traces the heterogeneous Dutch influences on German internal colonization between 1790 and 1914 and the mixed results of Germans efforts to adapt Dutch models of wasteland colonization. Indeed, despite rising German influence in transnational debates over European internal colonization, derogatory comparisons between medi- ocre German ventures and the unrelenting progress of the Dutch per- sisted. Thus, the example of northwest Germany highlights how mount- ing anxieties about ‘backwardness’ continued to mold the enterprise in the modern era and challenges the notion that the profound German influences on the Netherlands had no analog in the other direction.
