  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Native English-Swedish Bilinguals in Sweden Across the Borders of the Three Circles of English Nicholas O’Neill
    Native English-Swedish Bilinguals in Sweden Across the borders of the three circles of English Nicholas O’Neill BA project in linguistics Term: Spring 2019 Supervisor: Ute Bohnacker Examiner: Michael Dunn Department of linguistics and philology Uppsala University Abstract With nearly two billion speakers across the world, English has come to exist in all shapes and colors. Many functions and contexts in which English is found in the world are accounted for in the massive scientific effort to document the language’s global development. World English, New Englishes, and English as a Lingua Franca are concepts that aim to explain the different forms that the language takes in different countries. This paper explores the global development of English in its Swedish form, but shifts focus from second language English speakers to the native speakers of English who grow up in Sweden with parents from English-speaking countries. With most of the Swedish population being highly proficient in English, native English speakers in Sweden are more exposed to non-native English varieties spoken by second language speakers than the varieties used in their heritage countries. To understand how they are affected by their non-native environment, I interviewed seven students from an English heritage language instruction class at a Swedish upper secondary school. The 16- and 17-year-old students had parents from USA, UK, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand, and unique stories about their experiences with the English language. Each student was interviewed individually and asked questions about their language abilities, their varieties, and their connections to their heritage countries.

  • Report of Indonesia on World Country Exonyms
    E/CONF.105/112/CRP.112 23 June 2017 Original: English Eleventh United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names New York, 8-17 August 2017 Item 11 of the provisional agenda* Exonyms Report of Indonesia on World Country Exonyms Submitted by Indonesia** * E/CONF.105/1 ** Prepared by Allan F. Lauder, Multamia RMT Lauder, and Rizka Windiastuti from Indonesia Overview Until recently, it has not been possible to put in place a single, standardized version for Indonesian exonyms. A priority has been to standardize the exonyms for country names. This is necessary because the use of names in school textbooks, in the media and publishing, and in other forms of communication in the public sphere demonstrate an unwanted level of variation. An examination of exonyms for country names up to the present reveals that they are formed from different types of construction. These are: Translation: The Indonesian exonym is a translation of the endonym. Example – New Zealand – Selandia Baru; Cote d’Ivoire – Pantai Gading. History: The Indonesian exonym emerged at some point in history from a variety of influences. Example – Netherland – Belanda; Nippon – Jepang. For the country names which did not have a standardized exonym, a new exonym was arrived at and approved by the Language Development and Fostering Agency (Badan Pengembangan dan Pembinaan Bahasa), henceforth national Language Agency and the National Names Authority of Indonesia. The new exonyms mostly conform to the principle of adapting foreign names (either the endonym or the English exonym) to the phonetic rules of the Indonesian language. Examples: Ceska Republika (endonym) – Ceska; Misr (endonym) – Mesir; Seychelles (English exonym) – Seisel; Thailand – Tailandia; Kyrgyzstan (English exonym) – Kirgistan.

Drago Perko, Peter Jordan, Blaž Komac, Exonyms and other geographical names Exonyms and other geographical names DOI: http: //dx.doi.org/10.3986/AGS.4891 UDC: 91:81’373.21 COBISS: 1.02 ABSTRACT: Geographical names are proper names of geographical features. They are characterized by different meanings, contexts, and history. Local names of geographical features (endonyms) may differ from the foreign names (exonyms) for the same feature. If a specific geographical name has been codi - fied or in any other way established by an authority of the area where this name is located, this name is a standardized geographical name. In order to establish solid common ground, geographical names have been coordinated at a global level by the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) since 1959. It is assisted by twenty-four regional linguistic/geographical divisions. Among these is the East Central and South-East Europe Division, with seventeen member states. Currently, the divi - sion is chaired by Slovenia. Some of the participants in the last session prepared four research articles for this special thematic issue of Acta geographica Slovenica . All of them are also briefly presented in the end of this article. KEY WORDS: geographical name, endonym, exonym, UNGEGN, cultural heritage This article was submitted for publication on November 15 th , 2016. ADDRESSES: Drago Perko, Ph.D.

  • Växjö Katedralskola, Sweden World School 001106 IB Diploma Language Policy
    Växjö Katedralskola, Sweden World School 001106 IB Diploma Language Policy http://visuwords.com/language accessed 3 September 2020 ​ Philosophy At Växjö Katedralskola we understand that language is the basis for precision in thinking and communicating our understanding. In teaching and learning, our languages help us to acquire knowledge and skills. Our languages help us form our attitudes to identity and social inclusion in a multicultural environment. We use our languages for creative expression and exploration, as well as our languages such as musical notation and mathematical formulae. The language policy of the IB Diploma at Växjö Katedralskola is to provide as many ​ opportunities as possible for our students and faculty to express themselves in their many languages and codes of thinking, communicating, and reflecting. We understand that language is the basis for learning. The school supports international-mindedness in deepening understanding of this, and encourages all candidates to take a Bilingual Diploma. These goals support the IB Mission Statement: “The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.” 1 ● Växjö Katedralskola’s faculty, library, pastoral care, administrative and other staff, as well as decision-makers at municipal level, recognise their shared responsibility ​ to sustain multilinguism and literacy throughout the school, understanding that language acquisition is a gradual process for each individual.

  • Atlas of Language Politics in Modern Central Europe: a Conceptual Framework
    Atlas of Language Politics in Modern Central Europe: A Conceptual Framework Acknowledgments First of all, the volume’s co-editors, Tomasz Kamusella, Motoki Nomachi, and Cathe- rine Gibson, wish to thank the Slavic-Eurasian Research Center at Hokkaido University for making this volume possible. We hope that it may facilitate the completion of Atlas of Language Politics in Modern Central Europe and significantly add to the scholarly and cartographic quality and accurateness of this work-in-progress. We also extend a word of our gratitude to the volume’s other contributors, whose commentary essays on the Atlas help us see the project’s strengths and weaknesses, so that we could build on the former and ameliorate the latter. The project, Atlas of Language Politics in Modern Central Europe, as conceived and initially conducted by Tomasz Kamusella, was launched in the academic year 2008/2009, in Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, thanks to a Research Funding Initiative grant from the Long Room Hub, and a Start-up grant from Trinity College’s Research and Innovation. A word of thanks also goes to Moray McGowan and Jason McElligott in Trinity’s Long Room Hub for their sustained encouragement and support. An idea of this Atlas budded in the wake of the publication of Kamusella’s exten- sive monograph The Politics of Language and Nationalism in Modern Central Europe (Palgrave 2009). The cartographic presentation of his findings from this work should make them more readily available to general public, due to the attractive and succinct form. The funding, which Kamusella could allocate from the two aforementioned grants for map-making, was not sufficient to entice any cartographer in Ireland to under- take such a commission.

  • The Danish-German Border: Making a Border and Marking Different Approaches to Minority Geographical Names Questions
    The Danish-German border: Making a border and marking different approaches to minority geographical names questions Peter GAMMELTOFT* The current German-Danish border was established in 1920-21 following a referendum, dividing the original duchy of Schleswig according to national adherence. This border was thus the first border, whose course was decided by the people living on either side of it. Nonetheless, there are national and linguistic minorities on either side of the border even today – about 50,000 Danes south of the border and some 20,000 Germans north of the border. Although both minorities, through the European Union’s Charter for Regional and National Minorities, have the right to have signposting and place-names in their own language, both minorities have chosen not to demand this. Elsewhere in the German- Scandinavian region, minorities have claimed this right. What is the reason behind the Danish and German minorities not having opted for onomastic equality? And how does the situation differ from other minority naming cases in this region? These questions, and some observations on how the minorities on the German-Danish border may be on their way to obtaining onomastic equality, will be discussed in this paper. INTRODUCTION Article 10.2.g. of the Council of Europe’s European Charter for Regional and National Minorities (ETS no. 148) calls for the possibility of public display of minority language place-names.１ This is in accordance with the Council of Europe’s Convention no. 157: Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. Here, the right for national minorities to use place-names is expressed in Article 11, in particular sub-article 3,２ which allows for the possibility of public display of traditional minority language * Professor, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

    PROCESOS DE ABSTRACCIÓN EN LOS PARADIGMAS LÉXICOS ABIERTOS Los sistemas de numerales en las lenguas criollas de base española EUGENIO R. LUJÁN Facultad de Filología, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Este trabajo analiza los sistemas de numerales en las lenguas criollas de base española con el fin de describir los procesos de cambio que se observan en ellos. Para ello, se toman en cuenta las características de las lenguas criollas en general y de las lenguas criollas de base románica (español, portugués, francés) en particular. Se identifican para los sistemas numerales del chabacano y del papiamento procesos universales de simplificación y de regularización, así como posibles interferencias de las lenguas de prestigio en contacto con cada variedad criolla. 1. Introducción l objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los sistemas de numerales en las lenguas criollas de base española, dentro del contexto de los sistemas de numerales en Elenguas criollas de base romance y atendiendo también a los procesos de cambio que suelen producirse en los sistemas de numerales de las lenguas criollas en general, en relación con los sistemas de numerales empleados en las lenguas que proporcionan los elementos léxicos utilizados en la lengua criolla. Comenzaremos por repasar brevemente las características más importantes de los sis- temas de numerales y por introducir la teminología que aplicaremos a nuestros análi- sis. A continuación haremos referencia también muy rápidamente a algunos problemas generales en el estudio de las lenguas criollas y a las implicaciones que tienen para una adecuada comprensión de los sistemas de numerales en ese tipo de lenguas. Después repasaremos la estructura de los sistemas de numerales en español, portugués y francés para entender en qué puntos del sistema resulta esperable que se produzcan cambios en las lenguas criollas formadas a partir de ellas.
