The Foreign Service Journal, January 1940 gL AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE V°L.'7.NO.i JOURNAL JANUARY, 1940 WE’RE I\ THE FOREIGN SERVICE TOO! • So many of our friends in the service send their New York-bound friends and acquaintances to us that at times we, too, feel we are in the Foreign Service.

It was constructed with funding from United States government agencies with the mission to prove that the US was committed to the proposition of using atomic power for peace and part of President Eisenhower's larger "Atoms for Peace" project. The sleek and modern design of the ship led to some maritime historians believing it was the prettiest merchant ship ever built. This china embodies both the mission of using nuclear power for peace while incorporating the design inclinations of the ship.

  • The Icelandic Language at the Time of the Reformation: Some Reflections on Translations, Language and Foreign Influences
    THE ICELANDIC LANGUAGE AT THE TIME OF THE REFORMATION: SOME REFLECTIONS ON TRANSLATIONS, LANGUAGE AND FOREIGN INFLUENCES Veturliði Óskarsson (Uppsala University) Abstract The process of the Reformation in Iceland in its narrow sense is framed by the publication of the New Testament in 1540 and the whole Bible in 1584. It is sometimes believed that Icelandic language would have changed more than what it has, if these translations had not seen the day. During the 16th century, in all 51 books in Icelandic were printed. Almost all are translations, mostly from German. These books contain many loanwords, chiefly of German origin. These words are often a direct result of the Reformation, but some of them are considerably older. As an example, words with the German prefix be- were discussed to some length in the article. Some loanwords from the 16th century have lived on to our time, but many were either wiped out in the Icelandic language purism of the nineteenth and twentieth century, or never became an integrated part of the language, outside of religious and official texts. Some words even only show up in one or two books of the 16th century. The impact of the Reformation on the future development of the Icelandic language, other than a temporary one on the lexicon was limited, and influence on the (spoken) language of common people was probably little. Keywords The Icelandic Reformation, printed books, the New Testament, the Bible, loanwords, the German prefix be-. Introduction The Reformation in Iceland is dated to the year 1550, when the last Catholic bishop in Iceland, Jón Arason of the Hólar diocese in Northern Iceland, was executed.

  • The New Passive in Icelandic Really Is a Passive
    1 In Grammatical Change and Linguistic Theory: The Rosendal papers , Thórhallur Eythórsson (ed.), pp. 173-219. Amsterdam: Benjamins CHAPTER 6 The New Passive in Icelandic really is a passive Thórhallur Eythórsson University of Iceland Contra the standard account by Maling & Sigurjónsdóttir (2002), I argue that the New Passive in Icelandic is a passive without NP-movement but with structural accusative case assignment. The absence of structural accusative in the Canonical Passive and its presence in the New Passive is attributed to parametric variation in a case feature in a functional head taking a VP complement. Thus, the New Passive is comparable to the -no/to-construction in Ukrainian, a passive preserving structural accusative case. Moreover, parallels in Norwegian and Faroese are pointed out. Finally, I propose that the New Passive emerged from a reanalysis of the canonical existential passive ( það -passive) with a postverbal NP. The locus for the reanalysis involves cases where the canonical existential passive without NP-movement and the New Passive cannot be distinguished morphologically. 1. Introduction A syntactic change currently underway in Icelandic involves a construction exhibiting passive morphology which is variously termed the New Passive (Icel. nýja þolmyndin ; Kjartansson 1991) or the New Impersonal Construction (Maling & Sigurjónsdóttir 2002). For now I label it the New Construction (NC). As shown in (1), the NC contains the auxiliary vera ‘be’ and a non-agreeing past participle which is able to assign accusative case to an argument in postverbal position. The postverbal NP can be either definite, as in (1a-b), or indefinite, as in (1c). The expletive það ‘it’ is inserted before the finite verb, in the absence of another initial element.
