  • On Etymology of Finnic Term for 'Sky'
    Archaeoastronomy and Ancient Technologies 2019, 7(2), 5–10; http://aaatec.org/art/a_jg1 www.aaatec.org ISSN 2310-2144 On Etymology of Finnic Term for 'Sky' Jingyi Gao Beijing International Studies University, China; E-mail: [email protected] Institute of the Estonian Language, Tallinn, Estonia; E-mail: [email protected] University of Tartu, Estonia; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Using etymological methods, the present study has identified five Sinitic and Uralic shared etymologies. These five etymologies form a rhyme correspondence. This regular sound change validates the etymological connection between Sinitic and Uralic. The Finnic term for 'sky' is among these five etymologies. It is demonstrated that this word root should be aboriginal in Sino-Uralic languages. Keywords: Rhyme correspondence, Sinitic, Uralic, Sino-Uralic, Baltic, Germanic, Celtic, Italic, Indo- Iranian. Introduction The Finnic term for 'sky' (Estonian taevas; Finnish taivas; Livonian tōvaz; Veps taivaz; Votic taivas) has no cognate in other Uralic languages, therefore it has been previously considered a loanword to Finnic from Indo-Iranian (Schott, 1849, p. 126), from Baltic (Thomsen, 1869, p. 34, 73), or from Germanic (Koivulehto, 1972). The present study finds that this Finnic word has cognates in Sinitic languages supported by a deep rhyme correspondence consisting of five etymologies; therefore this word root must be aboriginal in Sino-Uralic languages. Gao (e.g. 2005, 2014b, 2019; Gāo, 2008) detected and identified Sinitic and Uralic shared etymologies, and has solely researched Sinitic and Uralic shared etymologies for more than a decade. We could infer a general skepticism about this approach.

  • Sami in Finland and Sweden
    A baseline study of socio-economic effects of Northland Resources ore establishment in northern Sweden and Finland Indigenous peoples and rights Stefan Ekenberg Luleå University of Technology Department of Human Work Sciences 2008 Universitetstryckeriet, Luleå A baseline study of socio-economic effects of Northland Resources ore establishment in northern Sweden and Finland Indigenous peoples and rights Stefan Ekenberg Department of Human Work Sciences Luleå University of Technology 1 Summary The Sami is considered to be one people with a common homeland, Sápmi, but divided into four national states, Finland, Norway, Russia and Sweden. The indigenous rights therefore differ in each country. Finlands Sami policy may be described as accommodative. The accommodative Sami policy has had two consequences. Firstly, it has made Sami collective issues non-political and has thus change focus from previously political mobilization to present substate administration. Secondly, the depoliticization of the Finnish Sami probably can explain the absent of overt territorial conflicts. However, this has slightly changes due the discussions on implementation of the ILO Convention No 169. Swedish Sami politics can be described by quarrel and distrust. Recently the implementation of ILO Convention No 169 has changed this description slightly and now there is a clear legal demand to consult the Sami in land use issues that may affect the Sami. The Reindeer herding is an important indigenous symbol and business for the Sami especially for the Swedish Sami. Here is the reindeer herding organized in a so called Sameby, which is an economic organisations responsible for the reindeer herding. Only Sami that have parents or grandparents who was a member of a Sameby may become members.

  • 000 Euralex 2010 03 Plenary
    > State of the Art of the Lexicography of European Lesser Used or Non- State Languages anne tjerk popkema ‘The people who chronicle the life of our language (…) are called lexicographers’ (Martin Hardee, blogger in Cyberspace, 2006) 0 Introductory remarks 1 Language codification and language elaboration (‘Ausbau’) are key ingredients for raising a lesser used language to a level that is adequate for modern use.2 In dictionaries (as well as in grammars) a language’s written standard may be laid down, ‘codified’. 3 At the same time dictionaries make clear what lexical gaps remain or arise in a language. The filling of such gaps – part of language elaboration – will only gain wide acceptance when, in turn, it is codified in a dictionary itself. Thus, both prime categories of language development – codification and elaboration – are hats worn by the same head: the lexicographer’s. Bo Svensén begins the opening chapter of his recent handbook on lexicography by stating that ‘dictionaries are a cultural phenomenon. It is a commonplace to say that a dictionary is a product of the culture in which it has come into being; it is less so to say that it plays an important part in the development of that culture.’ 4 In the case of lesser used languages, language development may lead to (increased) use in domains that were formerly out of reach because of the dominance – for any number of reasons – of another language. In such instances, language development equals language emancipation. An emancipating language takes on new functions, enters new domains of society and is therefore in need of new terminology.

  • Researching Less-Resourced Languages – the Digisami Corpus
    Researching Less-Resourced Languages – the DigiSami Corpus Kristiina Jokinen University of Helsinki, Finland and AIRC, AIST Tokyo Waterfront, Japan [email protected] Abstract Increased use of digital devices and data repositories has enabled a digital revolution in data collection and language research, and has also led to important activities supporting speech and language technology research for less-resourced languages. This paper describes the DigiSami project and its research results, focussing on spoken corpus collection and speech technology for the Fenno-Ugric language North Sami. The paper also discusses multifaceted questions on ethics and privacy related to data collection for less-resourced languages and indigenous communities. Keywords: corpus collection, under-resourced languages, North Sami with new technology applications. The main motivation 1. Introduction was to improve digital visibility and viability of the target languages, and to explore different choices for encouraging Several projects and events have increased research and maintaining the use of less-resourced languages in the activities for under-resourced languages during the past digitalized world. The goals of the DigiSami project are years. For instance, the DLDP-project (Digital Language discussed in Jokinen (2014) and Jokinen et al. (2017). Diversity Project) is to advance the sustainability of Europe’s regional and minority languages, while the Flare- The DigiSami project deals with the North Sami language net network and the LRE Map (Calzolari et al. 2012) have (Davvisámegiela) which belongs to the Fenno-Ugric had a big impact on sharing language resources and making language family and is one of the nine Sami languages speech corpora freely available.
