The number of institutions covered in the present work, 146, is almost double that of the 1965 edition, and represents an increaae of 48 over the 1966 edition, with 64 schools appearing for the first time.Also new in this edition is information on resources of Canadian institutions. Coverage of Teacher Training in English as a Foreign Language has been omitted from this volume, since current information can be found in English language and orientation programs in the United States (New York, Institute of International Education, 1969). Coverage Included in the present edition are those institutions which,on the basis of available information, offer at least three courses in the field of General Linguistics or Linguistics and Related Disciplines. The information listed for each college or university was supplied mainly by the institution itself, through a questionnaire prepared and mailed out by the Center for Applied Linguistics. In a few cases, this was supplemented by college catalogues. The academic institutions covered in this volume may still represent only a partial listing, since some of the questionnaires were not returned to the Center, and college catalogues could not furnish adequate information. Arrangement The colleges and universities are listed in alphabetical order, and under each entry is given all or part of the following information: Department, department chairman, degrees offered. Staff, with academic rank and field of specialization. Course offerings or course areas. A: Courses traditionally offered in the field of General Linguistics or Linguistics and Related Disciplines, e.g. Morphology and syntax, Language and culture. A standard nomenclature has been adopted, though exact course titles and content may differ at various insti- tutions, The number following an entry, e.g. Morphology and syntax, 4, indicates the number of courses offered at least once in a two-year period. B: Courses with primary linguistic content, e.g. Thai structure, Romance linguistics. Here no attempt has been made to indicate the number of courses offered. C: Courses in ancient languages or modern foreign languages, not commonly taught in the United States. (Classical Greek and Latin, as well as modern French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish have not been included.) iii The languages have been arranged accordingto geo- graphical area: West European, Slavic and East European, Near and Middle Eastern, South Asian, South- east Asian, East Asian, Oceanic, Amerindian, Caribbean, and Sub-Saharan African. The ancient languages appear in brackets.Again, the number of courses offered is not indicated. Summer workshops, seminars, institutes, etc. Institutes, language and area centers, researchprograms, etc. Name and address of the office from which to obtainbrochures, catalogues, etc., which give full descriptions ofprograms and degree requirements. Information on annual summer institutes, a tabular index ofuniversities and their programs arranged by state, and an index of languages,appear at the end. We would like to thank our colleagues in the PublicationsSection for their help in the preparation of this book, in particular,Mrs. Elaine Bowman. Special thanks is due Mrs. Freda Ahearn who typed themanuscript for publi- cation. We are also grateful to the Linguistic Society of America for their cooperation and support.

Feinman and Nicholas: New Perspectives on Prehispanic Highland Mesoamerica: A Macroregi NEW PERSPECTIVES ON PREHISPANIC HIGHLAND MESOAMERICA: A MACROREGIONAL APPROACH1 GARY M. FEINMAN LINDA M. NICHOLAS Many social scientists might question the potential role for ar- chaeology in the study of world systems and macroregional politi- cal economies. After all, the principal contributions to this con- temporary research domain have come from history and other social sciences (e.g., Braudel 1972; Wallerstein 1974; Wolf 1982). In addition, most of the world systems literature to date has fo- cused on Europe and other regions of the Old World. This paper takes a somewhat novel tack, one that integrates contemporary findings in archaeology and history to expand and contribute to current debates concerning the nature of ancient world systems and interregional relations. Yet, the geographic focus is not Rome or Greece or even the area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, but rather prehispanic Mesoamerica, an area that encom- passes the southern two-thirds of what is now Mexico, as well as Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Honduras, Costa Rica, and El Salvador.

  • History of the Portuguese Music: an Overview
    HISTORY OF THE PORTUGUESE MUSIC: AN OVERVIEW Rui César Vilão Physics Department, University of Coimbra, PORTUGAL Abstract A brief overview of the history of the Portuguese music is given. In memoriam José Carlos Travassos Cortez 1. PREVIOUS REMARKS Presenting a communication on such a vast field as the subject of this work is usually a task for specialists. Only these are able to smoothly draw a global and coherent picture of their field of study. So, if you are not a specialist (even if you have a deep interest for the field) and you occupy your days working in an entirely different subject (say the physics of muonium states in semiconductors), you are surely in trouble! There are two possible solutions for this dilemma: a) ask a specialist and b) do it à la Newton (even if you're not one), climbing in the shoulders of giants. The mountaineering option was adopted here, and four giants helped me in viewing higher: Rui Vieira Nery and Paulo Ferreira de Castro with their História da Música [1], João de Freitas Branco with his História da Música Portuguesa [2] and José Carlos Travassos Cortez with his passioned and illuminating lessons on the history of Portuguese music that I was lucky to attend in the Conservatório de Musica de Coimbra [3]. I am very pleased to dedicate this work to his memory. Apart from Refs. [1-3], which are available in Portuguese only, all the other references are relative to introductory notes of compact-discs and are generally available in English as well. Of course these discographic indications are not extensive, but I believe they constitute a basis (surely not the only one!) for a good start in Portuguese-specialized melomania.

  • The Portuguese Art of War in Northern Morocco During the 15 Century
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 3, Issue 4 – Pages 321-336 The Portuguese Art of War in Northern Morocco during the 15th Century By Vitor Luís Gaspar Rodrigues This paper not only reviews the motives underlying the Portuguese expansionist project in Morocco in the 15th century, but also the political, economic, and particularly the social reasons that were in the basis of the Portuguese art of war in Morocco in that period. During the Iberian Reconquest (Reconquista), warfare was usually practiced by means of cavalcades, raids (razias) and ambushes, alongside with some siege actions. We will try to demonstrate that the Portuguese were forced to adopt a model of restricted territorial occupation and repeat the same technics and tactics of combat in Morocco, chiefly based on guerrilla war (guerra guerreada), as well as on siege and privateering actions, either offshore or onshore, by means of amphibian landings (saltos). We will also approach some of the changes that occurred in the defence systems of the Portuguese strongholds in North Africa, particularly at the turn of the 15th to the 16th centuries, as a result of the need to respond to the new challenges by the Moroccan armies equipped with fire weaponry. Keywords: Guerrilla war; maritime war; Northern Morocco; strongholds; siege war; fire weaponry. Portuguese Expansion in Morocco in the 15th Century: Main Causes The expansion project to Morocco by the Christian kingdoms from Iberia goes back to late 13th century, as attested by the Treaty of Soria, of 1291, signed by the monarchs of Castile and Aragon, which defined the areas to be occupied in the future by both kingdoms in North Africa, leaving the territorial stripe in the west of Ceuta to Portugal.

  • Linguateca's Infrastructure for Portuguese and How It Allows
    J. B. Johannessen (ed.), Language Variation Infrastructure, Oslo Studies in Language 3(2), 2011. 113–128. (ISSN 1890-9639) http://www.journals.uio.no/osla linguateca’s infrastructure for portuguese and how it allows the detailed study of language varieties DIANASANTOS SINTEF, Oslo & FCCN, Lisboa abstract In this paper I present briefly Linguateca, an infrastructure project for Por- tuguese which is over ten years old, showing how it provides several possi- bilities to study grammatical and semantic differences between varieties of the language. After a short history of Portuguese corpus linguistics, presenting the main projects in the area, I discuss in some detail the AC/DC project1 and what is called the AC/DC cluster (encompassing other related corpus projects shar- ing the same core). Emphasizing its potential for language variation stud- ies, the paper also (i) describes CONDIVport’s integration as an impetus for new capabilities, and (ii) provides a sketch of newly added functionalities to AC/DC. [1] an infrastructure for portuguese language technology In line with the main audience of the Linguateca project, there have already been several descriptions of Linguateca as an infra-structure for Portuguese, in Por- tuguese (Santos 2009), as well as substantial reporting2. However, an interna- tional audience has only seen traces and scattered references so far, so this paper intends to fill this gap in what corpus resources are concerned. It all started in 1998, with a small project (1998-1999) for preparing the future of the computational processing of the Portuguese language hosted by SINTEF, as an area to be taken specially good care of in the future science and technol- ogy programme (for the White book on Science and Technology created by the then Ministry of Science and Technology in Portugal), and wrote a small memo to be discussed publicly by all interested parties (Santos 1999a).

  • Orientalism Reconsidered 'If the World Were a Golden Ring, Hormuz
    Iranian Studies, vol. 50 / 2017 Ghoncheh Tazmini The Persian-Portuguese Encounter in Hormuz: Orientalism Reconsidered ‘If the world were a golden ring, Hormuz would be the jewel in it’1 Abstract In 2015, the quincentennial commemoration of the Portuguese arrival on the island of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf (1515-1622) revealed the underlying presupposition among Iranians that the Portuguese presence on the island was the harbinger of a long-term pattern of Western imperialism. This analysis questions the accuracy of this narrative by advancing a new interpretative framework that does not reduce the holding of Hormuz to simply another dark episode of European colonial history. Circumscribed and limited in aim and reach, Lusitanian activities on Hormuz cannot be brought under the generic rubric of “Orientalism”, which is embedded in European colonial tradition, and which by extension, buttresses Iranian nationalist sentiment about the Persian-Portuguese entanglement. My research demonstrates that Portuguese objectives diverged from the 18th and 19th century rationalist scientific traditions of the British, French and Germans professing a civilising mission as a rationale for colonial policies. Whereas the Portuguese operated from a worldview that combined profit, dynastic pride, and religious rhetoric the Portuguese mission to Hormuz was not guided by a grand discourse of civilising the “other”. While there was a complex interplay of commercial interests and brutal methods on this strategic êntrepot, Portuguese ambitions in Hormuz were confined

    Polish Katarzyna DZIUBALSKA-KOŁACZYK and 1 Bogdan WALCZAK ( ) 1. The identity 1.1. The name In the 10th century, individual West Slavic languages were differentiated from the western group, Polish among others. The name of the language comes from the name of a tribe of Polans (Polanie) who inhabited the midlands of the river Warta around Gniezno and Poznań, and whose tribal state later became the germ of the Polish state. Etymologically, Polanie means ‘the inhabitants of fields’. The Latin sources provide also other forms of the word: Polanii, Polonii, Poloni (at the turn of the 10th and 11th century king Bolesław Chrobry was referred to as dux Poloniorum in The Life of St. Adalbert [Żywot św. Wojciecha]) (cf. Klemensiewicz : 1961-1972). 1.2. The family affiliation 1.2.1. Origin The Polish language is most closely related to the extinct Polabian- Pomeranian dialects (whose only live representative is Kashubian) and together with them is classified by Slavicists into the West Lechitic subgroup of the Slavic languages.

  • Phonological and Morphological Functions of Palatalisation
    PHONOLOGICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS OF PALATALISATION IN IRISH AND POLISH EUGENIUSZ CYRAN AND BOGDAN SZYMANEK 1. Introduction The paper aims to present some basic facts concerning the functions that palatalisation of consonants plays in the phonology and morphology of Irish and Polish. The choice of the two languages is partly due to the apparent similarities that they exhibit. Both languages have more or less obvious palatalisation phenomena, which are not only present in the respective phonological systems in the form of processes and contrasts, but also seem to be used in morphological derivation and inflection. However, the similarities end at the level of generality. A closer look at the linguistic facts from Irish and Polish shows that the two languages differ markedly in detail. 1.1. Origin of palatalisations and present-day systems The term palatalisation is rather broad and ambiguous, as it subsumes two quite disparate linguistic situations. Namely, it may be understood as a dynamic phonetic or phonological process of producing a secondary articulation of a consonant in the context of the following front vowel [i/e] or glide [j]. 1 In this sense, palatalisation is allophonic, that is, a context dependent assimilatory process, as may be the case with Irish bith [b ji] ‘existence’, or Polish ki ść [k jiÇt°Ç] ‘bunch’. 2 On the other hand, both Irish and Polish seem to show that palatalisation of consonants may also be independent of the context, in which case we are not dealing with a process of palatalisation, but with a genuine lexical property of given consonants, that is, a phonemic distinction.
