  • Letters from Ankara
    Letters from Ankara Scriptal Change in Turkey and Ireland in 1928 MATHEW STAUNTON and OLIVIER DECOTTIGNIES Université de Paris 3 – Sorbonne Nouvelle We must not give anyone reason to doubt that we stand for national progress, or reason to suspect that we are out of sympathy with anything that is good in the spirit of the age, or even that we are unnecessarily hostile to things which, if not positively admirable, are harmless and characteristic of modern trends. Our object is not to turn back the hands of the clock or to restore social customs, institutions or preferences which have been generally abandoned by other nations and which properly belong to the past. [...] We do not want to make our people fundamentally different from other present- day Europeans, but only to make them as Irish as the people of France are French; the people of Italy Italian; the people of Denmark Danish; or the people of Sweden Swedish.1 Ernest Blythe’s 1949 presidential address to the Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge2 was a passionate appeal for Irish speakers to embrace modernity. Convinced that “pedantic cranks”, “irrational sticklers for the archaic”, and “archaicising faddists”3 were hindering the Irish language movement and even embarrassing the Irish nation, he argued that the Irish people could enjoy their linguistic heritage without isolating themselves from their European neighbours. The countries he 1 Ernest Blythe, The State and the Language: an English Version of the Presidential Address of Ernest Blythe to Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge, 3 December 1949, p. 16. 2 The coordinating body of Irish language voluntary associations.

This has had the unfortunate tendency to reinforce the view, especially prevalent among the young, that Irish is “irrelevant” for modern life. Since 1999 the author has been engaged in the development of Irish language software as a way of helping to stem the tide of language shift. Already completed are a general purpose web crawler, spell checker, and grammar checker, with a monolingual thesaurus and various localization projects currently 3 in progress. Recently, a set of TEX hyphenation patterns for Irish was completed as part of this work.4 This topic forms the focus of this paper. In most languages, the choice of font has no effect on hyphenation, but typesetting Irish in Ro- manized script (as is standard nowadays) implies some important orthographic changes, most notably the use of the letter ‘h’ to indicate “lenition”, or softening, of the preceding consonant. This is in- dicated by a ponc (dot) over the lenited consonant in Gaelic type, as can be seen in the excerpt above. Software & Tools The current version of the patterns is designed to work with the modern orthography, but if desired can be modified to work for seanchl´o as well. Hyphenation patterns for minority In the following sections some of the techniques languages used in developing the patterns will be described Kevin P.

It presents the results of the first corpus-based analysis of Modern Scottish Gaelic orthographic development combined with an analytic approach that places orthographic choices in their sociolinguistic context. The theoretical framework behind the analysis centres on discussion of how the language ideologies of the phonographic ideal, historicism, autonomy, vernacularism and the ideology of the standard itself have shaped orthographic conventions and debates.

    TypologicalɼQuestionnaireɼonɼBiscriptalityɼ forɼtheɼconferenceɼ“Biscriptalityɼ–ɼsociolinguisticɼandɼculturalɼscenarios” Please try to give answers and explanations to all the following questions in your presentation. Of course this should not prevent you from describing additional peculiarities you notice even though they are not asked for explicitly. The questionnaire is based on a linguistic situation with two forms of writing (scripts, typefaces or orthographies). If your case study includes more than two forms of writing, adapt the questions accordingly; alternatively, you might want to break the situation down into several binary opposi- tions and describe them separately. 1. Generalɼdataɼ 1.1. Which language are you describing? 1.2. To which point in time does your description refer (e.g. 2010, 250 b.c.e. )? (All the following questions refer to this time and might therefore have to be interpreted as historical present.) 1.3. To which group of people does the description apply (e.g. a speech community, a nation as part of a speech community, etc.)? 1.4. Which forms of writing are used simultaneously for the described language (give the names and further details if necessary)? 2. Graphematicsɼ 2.1. Are these forms of writing a) different scripts (writing systems, e.g. Cyrillic, Latin, Devanagari, Arabic), b) different typefaces (graphical forms of a script, e.g. roman type, blackletter , Gaelic type ) or c) different orthographies (norms for the use of graphemes, e.g. colour vs. color )? 2.2. If they are different scripts : Do they belong to the same type of writing system (alphabet, abjad/consonantal alphabet, abugida/alphasyllabary, syllabary, logographic writing)? 2.3.
