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. -

Features of Indo European Languages Lexicon Phonology
Lexicon morphology (Cognate) (Inflection) Features of Indo European Languages Phonology Syntax Cognate Words In The Indo- European Languages • Words of a similar structure and of similar or in many instances identical meanings in various languages of the Indo-European group. • Cognate means common origins (Lat. co- and gantus which means ‘born together’) The Verb ‘bear, carry’ Sanskrit Greek Latin Ghothic Old English bhar pher fer bair ber Are all the development of the Indo-European word ‘bher’ Cognate Words • Cognate words DO not necessarily look much alike: their resemblance may be disguised by sound shifts that have occurred in the various languages of the Indo-European group. • English ‘work’ and Greek ‘ergon’ , for example, are superficially unalike, but they both developments of Indo-European ‘wergom’ and therefore are cognates. Cognate Words • Numerals from one to ten; the word meaning the sum of ten tens ( Latin “cntum,” Avestan “satem,” English “hundred”) • Words for certain bodily parts (heart, lung, head, foot) • Words for certain natural phenomena (air, night, star, snow, sun, moon, mind) • Certain plant and animal names (beech, corn, wolf, bear) • Certain cultural terms (yoke, mead, weave, sew) • monosyllables that pertain sex and excretion (e.g. modern English “fart” likely derived from Indo-European “perd”. • Non-Germanic: Latin, Greek, Welsh • Germanic: English, Icelandic, Dutch • Non-Germanic d corresponds to Germanic t • Non-Germanic t corresponds to Germanic θ Inflection in The Indo-European Languages • All the Indo-European Language are inflective— that is, all are characterized by grammatical system based on modifications in the form of words, by means of inflection (that is, endings and vowel changes) (e.g. -

FULLER Southern Illinois University, Carbondale THE PRESENTSTUDY addresses the interaction between internal and exter- nal factors in language change in bilingual settings. The data for this research come from Pennsylvania German, and the two features examined are variation in past participle forms and restrictions on separable prefix verbs. These particular structures have not been discussed in previous research and provide a new perspective on the interaction among factors in language change. Two patterns of interaction between internal and external forces in diachronic processes will be discussed here.1 First, surface ambiguity may become more salient in language contact situations, and this promotes internally motivated linguistic change. Second, the tendency toward trans- parency in form-function mapping may lead to a preference for semanti- cally transparent loanwords over more complex native elements. -
Organizing Knowledge: Comparative Structures of Intersubjectivity in Nineteenth-Century Historical Dictionaries
Organizing Knowledge: Comparative Structures of Intersubjectivity in Nineteenth-Century Historical Dictionaries Kelly M. Kistner A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Gary G. Hamilton, Chair Steven Pfaff Katherine Stovel Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Sociology ©Copyright 2014 Kelly M. Kistner University of Washington Abstract Organizing Knowledge: Comparative Structures of Intersubjectivity in Nineteenth-Century Historical Dictionaries Kelly Kistner Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Gary G. Hamilton Sociology Between 1838 and 1857 language scholars throughout Europe were inspired to create a new kind of dictionary. Deemed historical dictionaries, their projects took an unprecedented leap in style and scale from earlier forms of lexicography. These lexicographers each sought to compile historical inventories of their national languages and were inspired by the new scientific approach of comparative philology. For them, this science promised a means to illuminate general processes of social change and variation, as well as the linguistic foundations for cultural and national unity. This study examines two such projects: The German Dictionary, Deutsches Worterbuch, of the Grimm Brothers, and what became the Oxford English Dictionary. Both works utilized collaborative models of large-scale, long-term production, yet the content of the dictionaries would differ in remarkable ways. The German dictionary would be characterized by its lack of definitions of meaning, its eclectic treatment of entries, rich analytical prose, and self- referential discourse; whereas the English dictionary would feature succinct, standardized, and impersonal entries. Using primary source materials, this research investigates why the dictionaries came to differ. -

Oepen Department of Environmental and Molecular Gentoxicity (AMMUG), University of Mainz, Obere Zahlbacher Str. 63, D-55101 Mainz, Germany Received November 13, 2001; Revised March 6, 2002; Accepted March 10, 2002; Published April 18, 2002 Suspended particulate matter of samples of river water and waste water treatment plants was tested for genotoxicity and mutagenicity using the standardized umu assay and two versions of the Ames microsuspension assay. The study tries to determine the entire DNA-damaging potential of the water samples and the distribution of DNA-damaging substances among the liquid phase and solid phase. Responsiveness and sensitivity of the bioassays are compared. KEY WORDS: genotoxicity, mutagenicity, suspended particulate matter, umu test, Ames test, river water, waste water DOMAINS: environmental chemistry, environmental toxicology, molecular genetics INTRODUCTION It has been well-documented that a number of hydrophobic compounds are adsorbed to suspended particulate matter (SPM) and sediments of rivers[1,2,3,4]. Among them, PAHs, HCB, PCBs, and chlorinated benzenes were found in concentrations up to 2 mg per kg dry weight[5]. At least in the case of PAHs, genotoxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic potentials are evident[6]. Genotoxicological and carcinogenic evaluation of the remainder compounds is difficult, mainly due to their cytotoxicity in bioassays. -
German and English Noun Phrases
RICE UNIVERSITY German and English Noun Phrases: A Transformational-Contrastive Approach Ward Keith Barrows A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF 3 1272 00675 0689 Master of Arts Thesis Directors signature: / Houston, Texas April, 1971 Abstract: German and English Noun Phrases: A Transformational-Contrastive Approach, by Ward Keith Barrows The paper presents a contrastive approach to German and English based on the theory of transformational grammar. In the first chapter, contrastive analysis is discussed in the context of foreign language teaching. It is indicated that contrastive analysis in pedagogy is directed toward the identification of sources of interference for students of foreign languages. It is also pointed out that some differences between two languages will prove more troublesome to the student than others. The second chapter presents transformational grammar as a theory of language. Basic assumptions and concepts are discussed, among them the central dichotomy of competence vs performance. Chapter three then present the structure of a grammar written in accordance with these assumptions and concepts. The universal base hypothesis is presented and adopted. An innovation is made in the componential structire of a transformational grammar: a lexical component is created, whereas the lexicon has previously been considered as part of the base. Chapter four presents an illustration of how transformational grammars may be used contrastively. After a base is presented for English and German, lexical components and some transformational rules are contrasted. The final chapter returns to contrastive analysis, but discusses it this time from the point of view of linguistic typology in general. -
