    Schwa Distribution and Acquisition in Light of Swiss French Data

    FACULTY OF HUMANITIES, SOCIAL SCIENCES AND EDUCATION DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS Schwa Distribution and acquisition in light of Swiss French data Helene N. Andreassen A dissertation for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor May 2013 Schwa Distribution and acquisition in light of Swiss French data Helene N. Andreassen A dissertation for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor University of Tromsø Department of Language and Linguistics May 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Acknowledgements Someone asked me once how I could spend years of my life studying one single vowel. A few times I have asked myself the same question, but I always end up with the same answer: it is small but oh, so complex and fascinating. Despite its smallness, it grows in complexity and importance the more one digs into the topic. The idea of looking at schwa in children’s speech came to me after a meeting with the Phonology Reading Group at the University of Tromsø. When it was time to write a research proposal, I presented the idea – still quite vague – to my supervisor, Professor Chantal Lyche. Throughout my entire PhD, Chantal has been in Oslo, on the opposite side of Norway, or on one of the world’s other continents, and has made a couple of visits to Tromsø each year. However, I cannot think of a supervisor more present and available to her PhD student. Since the very beginning of this project, Chantal has encouraged me to pursue my ideas, she has guided me to discover relationships in my data, she has pushed me to work hard on the tricky parts, and through her expertise in linguistics and her ability to see the common thread, she has made me write – and finish – a thesis where the different components connect.
  • Trilingual Education in Switzerland*

    Trilingual Education in Switzerland*

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by RERO DOC Digital Library Trilingual education in Switzerland* CLAUDINE BROHY Abstract The Swiss Confederation is known for its historical multilingualism. The four national languages are, however, unequally distributed among its in- habitants. Individual foreign-language competence, including English, also varies strongly. The educational system reflects cantonal di¤erences. The article distinguishes between strong, intermediate, and weak forms of trilin- gual education. The strong form can be found at university level, the inter- mediate form includes all bilingual models with a course in one additional language, and the weak form is found frequently, in particular, in secondary education. A new model of multilingualism emerges with two national lan- guages, plus English. Research has thus far dealt mainly with the outcomes of bilingual education, but in the near future will focus more on the di¤er- ences between second- and third-language learning and the outcomes of tri- lingual education. 1. Introduction For centuries or even millennia, the territory of what is now called Swit- zerland has lain at a crossroads of di¤erent languages and cultures. The indigenous Celtic population was overwhelmed by the Roman army at the time of Christ’s birth, like the rest of Europe, which led to the Romanization of the region. As the Germanic invasions swept over the territory, from the sixth century AD on, the Alamans contributed to the development of a German-speaking population living alongside the Romance communities, which emerged from the contact of the former population with the Romans.

    Switzerland 4Th Periodical Report

    Strasbourg, 15 December 2009 MIN-LANG/PR (2010) 1 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES Fourth Periodical Report presented to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in accordance with Article 15 of the Charter SWITZERLAND Periodical report relating to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages Fourth report by Switzerland 4 December 2009 SUMMARY OF THE REPORT Switzerland ratified the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (Charter) in 1997. The Charter came into force on 1 April 1998. Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions. Switzerland‘s first report was submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in September 1999. Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).
  • Swiss Federal Coins – Respectable and Trustworthy

    Swiss Federal Coins – Respectable and Trustworthy

    Swiss Federal Coins – Respectable and Trustworthy Switzerland stands aloof from the European Union. But Switzerland too once introduced its own single currency – the first federal constitution of 1848 put an end to Switzerland's previously fragmented coinage. The minting of coins in the individual cantons was abolished, and the coinage became the exclusive responsibility of the central government of the Swiss Confederation. And what the Confederation minted was the Swiss franc – French things were very much in fashion, and the decimal structure of the new currency made it convenient to work with. It's tough too, though, the Swiss franc, like a real mountaineer, strong enough to stand up to the euro any day. 1 von 10 www.sunflower.ch Swiss Confederation, 5 Francs 1850, Paris Denomination: 5 Franken Mint Authority: Swiss Confederation Mint: Paris Year of Issue: 1850 Weight (g): 24.97 Diameter (mm): 37.0 Material: Silver Owner: Sunflower Foundation During the first half of the 19th century, every Swiss canton minted its own coins. The resulting confusion is hard to imagine today – good, valuable money mixed with worthless coins. Only when the sovereign single states joined into the Swiss Confederation in 1848, a legal basis for a complete reformation of the Swiss currency was at hand. Antoine Bovy from Geneva designed the first series of Swiss coins that showed the image of a sitting Helvetia. This type was minted until 1874, when it was exchanged by the standing Helvetia. 2 von 10 www.sunflower.ch Swiss Confederation, 2 Francs 1850, Paris Denomination: 2 Franken Mint Authority: Swiss Confederation Mint: Paris Year of Issue: 1850 Weight (g): 9.97 Diameter (mm): 27.0 Material: Silver Owner: Sunflower Foundation Two years after the introduction of the Swiss federal constitution (1848) the first Swiss coins were issued.
