  • Possessive Constructions in Modern Low Saxon
    POSSESSIVE CONSTRUCTIONS IN MODERN LOW SAXON a thesis submitted to the department of linguistics of stanford university in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of master of arts Jan Strunk June 2004 °c Copyright by Jan Strunk 2004 All Rights Reserved ii I certify that I have read this thesis and that, in my opinion, it is fully adequate in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Arts. Joan Bresnan (Principal Adviser) I certify that I have read this thesis and that, in my opinion, it is fully adequate in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Arts. Tom Wasow I certify that I have read this thesis and that, in my opinion, it is fully adequate in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Arts. Dan Jurafsky iii iv Abstract This thesis is a study of nominal possessive constructions in modern Low Saxon, a West Germanic language which is closely related to Dutch, Frisian, and German. After identifying the possessive constructions in current use in modern Low Saxon, I give a formal syntactic analysis of the four most common possessive constructions within the framework of Lexical Functional Grammar in the ¯rst part of this thesis. The four constructions that I will analyze in detail include a pronominal possessive construction with a possessive pronoun used as a determiner of the head noun, another prenominal construction that resembles the English s-possessive, a linker construction in which a possessive pronoun occurs as a possessive marker in between a prenominal possessor phrase and the head noun, and a postnominal construction that involves the preposition van/von/vun and is largely parallel to the English of -possessive.

  • An Examination of the Korean Community in the Dominican Republic
    Journal of Advanced Research in Social Sciences and Humanities Volume 2, Issue 3 (188-199) DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.26500/JARSSH-02-2017-0304 An examination of the Korean community in the Dominican Republic NELSON ORTEGA∗ Silla University, Busan, South Korea Abstract This paper is the first attempt to study the community of approximately 700 Koreans living in the Dominican Republic. Koreans in the Dominican Republic are a peculiar group that enriches Dominican culture and economy. There are 23 Korean companies operating in the Dominican Republic generating millions of tax dollars for Dominican government coffers and providing much-needed jobs. Despite their contributions, Koreans in the Dominican Republic have not yet been studied in terms of their adaptation, their day to day lives and the problems they face. This paper draws upon qualitative and quantitative sources such as questionnaires filled by 108 Korean adults, interviews with Korean community leaders and observations in an effort to document the experiences and business ventures of Koreans in the Dominican Republic. The survey results suggest that church and family are the basic units of interaction for Koreans in the Dominican Republic. Koreans have little socialization with people outside their inner circles although acculturation seems to be taking place with the young who expressed interest in Dominican food, dance, music and tourist attractions. The main problems facing Koreans are the crime, corruption in the Dominican government, and culture-driven conflicts between Korean employers and Dominican employees. Keywords: Korean Community, Diaspora, Adaptation, Dominican Republic Received: 6 February 2017 / Accepted: 12 April 2017 / Published: 30 June 2017 INTRODUCTION The Dominican Republic is an island country that shares the island La Hispaniola with the Republic of Haiti.

Without the trembled emotion for three family members who left in the last 5 years, I cannot conclude this excruciatingly long journey. First and foremost, I dearly thank my family for their unconditional love and profound understanding whatever I am. I owe you my life and I swear you that I will protect our mother from any cruelty in this world. Certainly, no aspect of my dissertation would have existed without my dearest chairs, Dr. Charles Wood and Dr. Stephen Perz. Although my situation has been winding for years, their support has always been immediate, especially when I needed it the most. My feeling toward them would rather be apologetic because I made them wait for quite a long time. The more I deeply appreciate thinking of what they have done for me over the years, the more I feel sorry for having consumed their time unnecessarily.

  • Culture and Ethnicity in the Korean Transnational Community in Brazil
    ❙ 이베로아메리카 제12권 2호 [2010. 12] : 323~356 Culture and Ethnicity in the Korean Transnational Community in Brazil 1)Joo, Jong-Taick* <Abstract> Culture and Ethnicity in the Korean Transnational Community in Brazil The formation and transformation of a specific transnational community can be heavily influenced by many factors in the community. Especially culture and ethnicity play an essential role in defining the social space of immigrants in the place of destination. However those factors useful to build solid transnational community may not be beneficial for the effective maintenance of the community in the long term. The transnational Korean community in Brazil clearly shows that the strong ethnic identity and cultural practice in the community does not always guarantee the favorable conditions for the stability of their own community. [Key Words: Transnational Community/ Korean Immigrants/ Brazil/ Culture/ Ethnicity/ Migration/ Remigration] [주제어: 초국가적 공동체/ 한인 이민자/ 브라질/ 문화/ 종족성/ 이 주/ 재이주] * Department of International Cultural Studies, Soonchunhyang University E-mail: [email protected] 324 이베로아메리카 제12권 2호 Ⅰ. Introduction In this paper, I analyze the process of the development of Korean transnational community in Brazil in terms of the unique migration history of ethnic Koreans, their culture and ethnicity and the concomitant effects of its growth in the Brazilian society. Immigrants relying on their ethnic and cultural heritage tend to establish diverse social networks crossing national borders to facilitate their lives in the countries of destination. In this way, they can create their own social space that engenders new possibilities by generating a new form of symbolic capital (Malkin 2004, 76).
