  • Polish Americans In
    http://lexikos.journals.ac.za; https://doi.org/10.5788/28-1-1467 Polish Americans in the History of Bilingual Lexicography: The State of the Art Mirosława Podhajecka, Institute of English, University of Opole, Poland ([email protected]) Abstract: This paper measures dictionaries made by Polish Americans against the development of the Polish–English and English–Polish lexicographic tradition. Of twenty nine monoscopal and biscopal glossaries and dictionaries published between 1788 and 1947, four may be treated as mile- stones: Erazm Rykaczewski's (1849–1851), Władysław Kierst and Oskar Callier's (1895), Władysław Kierst's (1926–1928), and Jan Stanisławski's (1929). Unsurprisingly, they came to be widely repub- lished in English-speaking countries, primarily the United States of America, for the sake of Polish- speaking immigrants. One might therefore wonder whether there was any pressing need for new dictionaries. There must have been, assuming that supply follows demand, because as many as eight Polish–English and English–Polish dictionaries were compiled by Polish Americans and pub- lished by the mid-twentieth century. The scant attention accorded this topic suggests a chronologi- cal approach to these dictionaries is in order, firstly, to blow the dust from the tomes; secondly, to establish their filial relationships; and, lastly, to evaluate their significance for the bilingual diction- ary market.

  • A Comparison Between Specialized and General Dictionaries with Reference to Legal Ones
    Alexandria University Faculty of Arts- English Department Language and Translation Section ------------- A Comparison between Specialized and General Dictionaries With Reference to Legal ones Nada At. Sharaan Alexandria University 36 Abstract Dictionaries play a major role when it comes to different linguistic processes. Indeed, they are quite essential for beginners as they are considered the main sources for obtaining meaning. However, dictionaries do not only provide information related to meanings of words, but they also provide different kinds of linguistic information such as spelling, pronunciation, etymology and syntax. Thus, not only do learners depend on dictionaries, but specialists also consult them for different purposes. In other words, dictionaries have a variety of different functions, that is why Lexicography, which is compiling dictionaries, is quite an essential field. Dictionary compilers try to make things easier for their users. In fact, the way a dictionary is presented is affected by its purpose or aim. In other words, there are different kinds of dictionaries depending on the type of users. There are general dictionaries and specialized ones. What is the purpose of these types? What are the differences between them? Which is more useful for users? My research is an attempt to provide answers to these questions. Keywords: linguistic, dictionary, general, specialized, user, purpose 37 Introduction Lexicography is concerned with the way different linguistic information should be presented in a dictionary. Different principles and approaches are created in order to make things easier for learners and specialists. However, things are not that easy as there are different types of users. That is why different types of dictionaries are created.

  • The Nonlexical and the Encyclopedic*
    The Nonlexical and the Encyclopedic* PHILIP B. GOVE 1:E EDITORS OF THE G. AND C. MERRIAM CO. have been asked over and over again to explain why thousands of words became obsolete between 1934, the date of the first printing of Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition, and 1961, the publi- cation date of Webster's Third New International Dictionary. Specifically, we have been asked to explain how the Third Edition can have 50,000 new words and yet have 100,000 less words than the Second Edition. The questioners sometimes even cite a 1959 or 1960printing of the Second Edition, and want to knO"\vwhy these words became "suddenly" out of date. The questions, so phrased, are unanswerable, for no suddenness is involved. For over 100 years the vocabulary of Merriam-Webster unabridged dictionaries had increased without any considerable pressure for a thorough review of the evidence for currency. When it became practically indispu- table that the physical bulk of the Second Edition with its 3393 pages and its thickness of five inches could not expand enough to take in 50,000 new words and 50,000 new senses of old words, a number of relevant editorial decisions had to be made. These inevitable decisions emerged gradually as soon as the Sec- ond Edition began in 1939 adding supplementary matter especially in the addenda section of new words - that is, words new to the dictionary whether neologisms or not - and in the gazetteer. When Webster's Biographical Dictionary was published in 1943 and Web- ster,s Geographical Dictionary in 1949, anyone might have foreseen that the biographical and geographical sections were going to be omitted from the next unabridged dictionary.

  • Wreaths of Time: Perceiving the Year in Early Modern Germany (1475-1650)
    Wreaths of Time: Perceiving the Year in Early Modern Germany (1475-1650) Nicole Marie Lyon October 12, 2015 Previous Degrees: Master of Arts Degree to be conferred: PhD University of Cincinnati Department of History Dr. Sigrun Haude ii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT “Wreaths of Time” broadly explores perceptions of the year’s time in Germany during the long sixteenth century (approx. 1475-1650), an era that experienced unprecedented change with regards to the way the year was measured, reckoned and understood. Many of these changes involved the transformation of older, medieval temporal norms and habits. The Gregorian calendar reforms which began in 1582 were a prime example of the changing practices and attitudes towards the year’s time, yet this event was preceded by numerous other shifts. The gradual turn towards astronomically-based divisions between the four seasons, for example, and the use of 1 January as the civil new year affected depictions and observations of the year throughout the sixteenth century. Relying on a variety of printed cultural historical sources— especially sermons, calendars, almanacs and treatises—“Wreaths of Time” maps out the historical development and legacy of the year as a perceived temporal concept during this period. In doing so, the project bears witness to the entangled nature of human time perception in general, and early modern perceptions of the year specifically. During this period, the year was commonly perceived through three main modes: the year of the civil calendar, the year of the Church, and the year of nature, with its astronomical, agricultural and astrological cycles. As distinct as these modes were, however, they were often discussed in richly corresponding ways by early modern authors.

  • Dictionary of Lexicography
    Dictionary of Lexicography Anyone who has ever handled a dictionary will have wondered how it was put together, where the information has come from, and how and why it can benefit so many of its users. The Dictionary of Lexicography addresses all these issues. The Dictionary of Lexicography examines both the theoretical and practical aspects of its subject, and how they are related. In the realm of dictionary research the authors highlight the history, criticism, typology, structures and use of dictionaries. They consider the subjects of data-collection and corpus technology, definition-writing and editing, presentation and publishing in relation to dictionary-making. English lexicography is the main focus of the work, but the wide range of lexicographical compilations in other cultures also features. The Dictionary gives a comprehensive overview of the current state of lexicography and all its possibilities in an interdisciplinary context. The representative literature has been included and an alphabetically arranged appendix lists all bibliographical references given in the more than 2,000 entries, which also provide examples of relevant dictionaries and other reference works. The authors have specialised in various aspects of the field and have contributed significantly to its astonishing development in recent years. Dr R.R.K.Hartmann is Director of the Dictionary Research Centre at the University of Exeter, and has founded the European Association for Lexicography and pioneered postgraduate training in the field. Dr Gregory James is Director of the Language Centre at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he has done research into what separates and unites European and Asian lexicography.

  • Henry Hoenigswald
    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES HENRY M. HOENIGSWALD 1915–2003 A Biographical Memoir by GEORGE CARDONA Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoirs COPYRIGHT 2006 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON, D.C. HENRY M. HOENIGSWALD April 17, 1915–June 16, 2003 BY GEORGE CARDONA ENRY M. HOENIGSWALD, professor emeritus of linguistics Hat the University of Pennsylvania, died on June 16, 2003, in Haverford, Pennsylvania. Henry began his career as a classicist. He contributed articles on Etruscan and Latin and important studies in Greek phonology, morphology, and metrics, the last of which he completed just before his death. He was, in addition, a well-versed Indo-Europeanist and contributed to Indo-Iranian linguistics; further, during the Second World War, he was engaged in modern Indo- Aryan and produced a handbook of Hindustani. Henry’s greatest contributions to linguistics, however, are of a more general theoretical nature. He was a major figure in seek- ing to understand and clarify the principles that underlie great work in historical-comparative linguistics, especially as practiced by the nineteenth-century neogrammarians and their successors. Henry contributed fundamental studies in these areas, including an early article on sound change and its relation to linguistic structure, a basic study of the pro- cedures followed in phonological reconstruction, an equally fundamental study of internal reconstruction, and a defini- tive monograph on language change and linguistic recon- struction. 4 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS Henry—named Heinrich Max Franz Hönigswald at birth—was born on April 17, 1915, in Breslau, Germany (now Wrocl/aw, Poland), into an academic family, the son of Richard Hönigswald, an eminent professor of philoso- phy at the University of Breslau.

  • Extraction of Biographical Information from Wikipedia Texts Master In
    Extraction of Biographical Information from Wikipedia Texts Sergio´ Filipe da Costa Dias Soares (Licensed in Information Systems and Computer Engineering) Dissertation for the achievement of the degree: Master in Information Systems and Computer Engineering Committee Chairman: Prof. Doutor Lu´ıs Rodrigues Main supervisor: Prof. Doutor Bruno Martins Co supervisor: Prof. Doutor Pavel Calado Observers: Prof. Doutora Lu´ısa Coheur October 2011 placeholder placeholder placeholder Abstract ocuments with biographical information are frequently found on the Web, containing inter- D esting language patterns and information useful for many different applications. In this dissertation, we address the challenging task of automatically extracting meaningful biographical facts from textual documents published on the Web. We propose to segment documents into sequences of sentences, afterwards classifying each sentence as describing either a specific type of biographical fact, or some other case not related to biographical data. For classifying the sentences, we experimented with classification models based on the formalisms of Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machines, Conditional Random Fields and voting protocols, using various sets of features for describing the sentences. Experimental results attest for the adequacy of the proposed approaches, showing an F1 score of approximately 84% in the 2-class classification problem when using a Naive Bayes classifier with token surface, length, position and surrounding based features. The F1 score for the 7- class classification problem was approximately 65% when using the Conditional Random Fields classifier with token surface, length, position, pattern and named entity features. Finally, the F1 score for the 19-class classification problem was approximately 59% when using a classifier based on voting protocols with length, position pattern, named entity and surrounding features.

Abstract Knowing the origin of a language helps us to determine the historical background of that language. As language itself is such a system of a society that is continuously evolving as that aforementioned society learns and technologically develops along with its roots or origins. Like many other languages, English is also a language that has roots or origins in many different languages. In this sense, the English language, rooted as Anglo-Saxon, is known to derive most of its words from the Latin and Greek languages by whose modern cultures, it is assumed to be affected most. In this study, this derivation of words and the intrinsic difficulties probable to occur for English as a Foreign Language learners (hereafter EFLs) with a special interest upon the case of pluralization are scrutinized. That is why it is enlightened by the author of this paper within the scope of the historical background, the etymology of the English language within a linguistic perspective. As a result, the most common and confusing plural forms of Greek-originated English words, and some curing methods are defined. © 2015 JLLS and the Authors - Published by JLLS.
