Tonal Categories in Prosodic Annotation of Dialectal Variation
Tonal categories in prosodic annotation of dialectal variation Frank Kügler University of Cologne / Goethe University of Frankfurt The aim of this talk is to discuss prosodic categories from the point of view of phonological and pre-phonological analysis. The pre-phonological analysis refers to the workshop’s theme of labelling surface intonation contours. I will illustrate the discussion by the annotation of similar intonation contours of two different German dialects. The approach to discover tonal categories in a language variety or in a dialect is similar to the approach to develop the tonal inventory of a hitherto unknown or undescribed language. Different ways of establishing tonal categories have been proposed and have successfully been shown to pin down the phonological oppositions of a tonal grammar: (i) contrasting prosodically minimal pairs which for instance was applied for German dialects [1, 2], (ii) going from phonetic characteristics of F0-contours to tonal categories [1, 3–6], (iii) using perceptual tests to express the functional load of a prosodic or tonal category [7, 8]. The variation in F0-contours between different dialects is hard to grasp unless a phonological analysis contrasts relevant contours. On a pre- phonological level similar contours may misleadingly be described by one and the same tonal label (or category, depending on the level of description). This talk will discuss data from two German dialects (Swabian and Upper Saxon German) analysed in [1]. A rising-falling contour serves for illustration. The rise-fall in Swabian German is phonologically analysed as a rising pitch accent L*H followed by a low tone L, which represents a tonal affix (cf. -
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. -

Germanic Languages an Overview
Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-42186-7 — The Cambridge Handbook of Germanic Linguistics Edited by Michael T. Putnam , B. Richard Page Excerpt More Information Germanic Languages An Overview B. Richard Page and Michael T. Putnam I.1 Introduction The Germanic languages include some of the world’s most widely spoken and thoroughly researched languages. English has become a global lan- guage that serves as a lingua franca in many parts of the world and has an estimated 1.12 billon speakers (Simons and Fennig 2018). German, Dutch, Icelandic, Swedish, and Norwegian have also been studied and described extensively from both diachronic and synchronic perspectives. In addition to the standard varieties of these languages, there are available descrip- tions of many nonstandard varieties as well as of regional and minority languages, such as Frisian and Low German. There are several possibilities to consider when putting together a handbook of a language family. One would be to have a chapter devoted to each language, as in Ko¨nig and Auwera (1993). This would require the choice of which languages to include and would make cross-linguistic comparisons difficult. In the alternative, one could take a thematic, comparative approach and exam- ine different aspects of the Germanic languages, such as morphology or syntax, as in Harbert (2007). We have chosen the latter approach for this handbook. The advantage of such an approach is that it gives the contri- butors in the volume an opportunity to compare and contrast the broad range of empirical phenomena found across the Germanic languages that have been documented in the literature. -

Inflectional Paradigms Have a Base: Evidence from S-Dissimilation in Southern German Dialects
Morphology (2007) 17:151–178 DOI 10.1007/s11525-007-9112-z ORIGINAL PAPER Inflectional paradigms have a base: evidence from s-Dissimilation in Southern German dialects T. A. Hall Æ John H. G. Scott Received: 7 March 2007/Accepted: 4 June 2007/Published online: 15 September 2007 © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2007 Abstract In many varieties of Southern German the contrast between /s/ and /∫/ is neutralized to [∫] before /p t/ anywhere within a word (e.g. Post [po∫t] ÔmailÕ), but neutralization does not occur before inflectional suffixes (e.e. ku¨ss-t [kyst] ‘kiss (3 SG)’). It will be argued that the underapplication of neutralization before inflectional suffixes is an example of a Paradigm Uniformity effect: Neutralization is blocked from applying to the final /s/ of a stem so that it will retain a constant shape in a paradigm. Underapplication in examples like [kyst] follows from a requirement that the stem in a derived word be identical to the unaffixed base. By contrast, the German data will be shown to be problematic for the Optimal Paradigms model (McCarthy 2005), since this approach does not allow for a base in inflectional paradigms.

The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Adam R.

McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GUSTAFSON, ADAM R., Ph.D., June 2011, Interdisciplinary Arts The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria Director of Dissertation: Dora Wilson Drawing from a number of artistic media, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary approach for understanding how artworks created under the patronage of Albrecht V were used to shape Catholic identity in Bavaria during the establishment of confessional boundaries in late sixteenth-century Europe. This study presents a methodological framework for understanding early modern patronage in which the arts are necessarily viewed as interconnected, and patronage is understood as a complex and often contradictory process that involved all elements of society. First, this study examines the legacy of arts patronage that Albrecht V inherited from his Wittelsbach predecessors and developed during his reign, from 1550-1579. Albrecht V‟s patronage is then divided into three areas: northern princely humanism, traditional religion and sociological propaganda. -
