  • Eric Hoekstra Review of "Studies in West Frisian Grammar. Selected
    Eric Hoekstra Review of "Studies in West Frisian Grammar. Selected papers by Germen J. de Haan" (John Benjamins, 2010, edited by Jarich Hoekstra, Willem Visser and Goffe Jensma) 0. Introduction This handsome volume offers a selection of papers on topics in Frisian linguistics written by Prof. Germ de Haan. It contains an Introduction by the editors, followed by De Haan’s articles. The articles are thematically ordered. 1. The editors’ Introduction The editors have provided the volume with a brief and clear introduction about De Haan's scientific production and relevance to the field of Frisian linguistics (pp 1-6 + references 6- 10). I mention the typo 'critisizes' on page 4, since it could have been avoided by running an automatic spell check. 1.1. Relevance to the field The editors mention that De Haan held the chair of Frisian in the University of Groningen from 1991 until 2009. To this, it may be added that he was the dean of the Faculty of Letters from 2001 until 2009. In that capacity, he managed to keep the Frisian institute almost intact during a period of budget cuts, which tend to affect small studies more than big ones. The editors claim that De Haan played a central role in the field of Frisian linguistics. They do not argue the point very explicitly, doubtlessly because it would have been awkward to do so by comparing De Haan's role to the smaller part played in the field by other researchers of Frisian. Nevertheless, I believe that they are right about De Haan's central role, as is implicitly clear from his scientific production.

Mills, Professor, East Asian Languages and Literature Richard Smethurst, Professor, History ii THE BANSHO SHIRABESHO: A TRANSITIONAL INSTITUTION IN BAKUMATSU JAPAN James M. Hommes, MA University of Pittsburgh, 2004 In the Bakumatsu period (1853-1868), Japan experienced many changes and challenges. One of these challenges was regarding how to learn from the West and how to use that knowledge in the building of Japan. One of the most important institutions for such Western learning was the Bansho Shirabesho, an institution created by the Tokugawa government in 1856 to translate Western materials, provide a school for Japanese scholars, and to censor the translations of Western works. This institution eventually gave language instruction in Dutch, English, French, German, and Russian and it also gave instruction in many other practical subjects such as military science and production. This thesis examines in detail how the Shirabesho was founded, what some of the initial difficulties were and how successful it was in accomplishing the tasks it was given. It also assesses the legacy of the Shirabesho in helping to bridge the transition between the Tokugawa period’s emphasis on feudal rank and the Meiji’s emphasis on merit.

    Literature of the Low Countries A Short History of Dutch Literature in the Netherlands and Belgium Reinder P. Meijer bron Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries. A short history of Dutch literature in the Netherlands and Belgium. Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague / Boston 1978 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/meij019lite01_01/colofon.htm © 2006 dbnl / erven Reinder P. Meijer ii For Edith Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries vii Preface In any definition of terms, Dutch literature must be taken to mean all literature written in Dutch, thus excluding literature in Frisian, even though Friesland is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the same way as literature in Welsh would be excluded from a history of English literature. Similarly, literature in Afrikaans (South African Dutch) falls outside the scope of this book, as Afrikaans from the moment of its birth out of seventeenth-century Dutch grew up independently and must be regarded as a language in its own right. Dutch literature, then, is the literature written in Dutch as spoken in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the so-called Flemish part of the Kingdom of Belgium, that is the area north of the linguistic frontier which runs east-west through Belgium passing slightly south of Brussels. For the modern period this definition is clear anough, but for former times it needs some explanation. What do we mean, for example, when we use the term ‘Dutch’ for the medieval period? In the Middle Ages there was no standard Dutch language, and when the term ‘Dutch’ is used in a medieval context it is a kind of collective word indicating a number of different but closely related Frankish dialects.

  • Making Sense of Dutch Word Order
    Making Sense of Dutch Word Order Dick Grune [email protected] Version 1.2.1 (October 10, 2013) Note: Although Dutch and Flemish are officially the same language, the explanation below does not apply as is to Flemish, which differs in details I do not know enough about. 1 Introduction Word order in a Dutch sentence is a confusing subject, of which many descrip- tions exist. The explanation given below is unconventional, but is the simplest I can come up with and still cover all the facts.1 As to word order, six types of sentences must be distinguished: main clauses start with the subject Type I.1 dependent clauses start with a conjunction Type III inverted clauses like main clauses, but start with something else Type I.2 yes-no questions Type II Wh-questions start with a question word like Who, Where, When Type I.2 commands instructions, not the more usual polite requests Type II where the last column shows the types EDG assigns to the clauses.2 Examples follow below. This list can immediately be simplified, because: 1. a command has the same word order as a main clause from which the subject has been removed; 2. a Wh- question has the same word order as an inverted clause; and 3. a yes-no question has the same word order as an inverted clause from which the \something else" has been removed. The remaining three clause types have different word orders, as can be seen from the following simple examples, which have been grouped by similarity: 1I assume some familiarity with grammatical terms, for example \subject", etc.

ISBN 978-91-7833-322-6 Technical Report 168D Research groups: Functional Programming and Language Technology Department of Computer Science and Engineering Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg SE-412 96 Gothenburg Sweden Telephone +46 (0)31-772 1000 Typeset in Palatino and Monaco by the author using X TE EX Printed at Chalmers reproservice Gothenburg, Sweden 2019 Abstract Grammar engineering has a lot in common with software engineering. Analogous to a pro- gram specification, we use descriptive grammar books; in place of unit tests, we have gold standard corpora and test cases for manual inspection. And just like any software, our gram- mars still contain bugs: grammatical sentences that are rejected, ungrammatical sentences that are parsed, or grammatical sentences that get the wrong parse. This thesis presents two contributions to the analysis and quality control of computa- tional grammars of natural languages. Firstly, we present a method for finding contradictory grammar rules in Constraint Grammar, a robust and low-level formalism for part-of-speech tagging and shallow parsing. Secondly, we generate minimal and representative test suites of example sentences that cover all grammatical constructions in Grammatical Framework, a multilingual grammar formalism based on deep structural analysis. Keywords: Grammatical Framework, Constraint Grammar, Satisfiability, Test Case Generation, Grammar Analysis Acknowledgements I am grateful to my supervisor Koen Claessen for his support and encouragement.

  • Essential Dutch Grammar Proficiency Level A1
    Essential Dutch Grammar proficiency level A1 When you master Essential Dutch Grammar, Proficiencylevel A1 and proficiency level A2, you know that Dutch grammar you really need. 1. Personal pronouns as a subject. 1.1.Singular: Ik ben Jan. Jij bent Piet. U bent Meneer Janssen. Zij is een vrouw. Hij is een man. Het is een kind. Notes: 'jij' is the emphasizing form, 'je' is the more usual 2nd person singular. 'u' Is the formal address, it's also used in formally addressing a group. 'zij' is the emphasizing form of the female 3rd person, 'ze' is more usual. 'het' is the Dutch equivalent of 'it'. It's used for neutral gender nouns. 'Hij' has no emphasized form but one could use 'die'. F.ex. Jan? Die is in London. 1.2. Plural: Wij zijn samen. Jullie zijn vrienden. Zij zijn collega's. Notes: You cannot know gender from the plural personal pronouns. 'wij' is stressed, usual is 'we' 'zij' is stressed, usual is 'ze'. 2. Present tense of 'zijn' (to be) and 'hebben' (to have). 2.1. Zijn Ik ben Richard. Je bent Brit. Ben je Welsh? Note: When the verb comes before the 't' is dropped. U bent vroeg. Bent u Meneer Jansen? Note: the 't' is only dropped using 'je' or 'jij' Hij is een man. Zij is een vrouw. Het is een kind. 1 We zijn blij. Jullie zijn nog jong. Ze zijn daar. Note : For all verbs present tense plural conjugation = the infinitive. 2.2. Hebben Ik heb honger. Je hebt eenbroer. Heb je zussen? Note: When the verb comes before the 't' is dropped.

  • Dutch. a Linguistic History of Holland and Belgium
    Dutch. A linguistic history of Holland and Belgium Bruce Donaldson bron Bruce Donaldson, Dutch. A linguistic history of Holland and Belgium. Uitgeverij Martinus Nijhoff, Leiden 1983 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/dona001dutc02_01/colofon.php © 2013 dbnl / Bruce Donaldson II To my mother Bruce Donaldson, Dutch. A linguistic history of Holland and Belgium VII Preface There has long been a need for a book in English about the Dutch language that presents important, interesting information in a form accessible even to those who know no Dutch and have no immediate intention of learning it. The need for such a book became all the more obvious to me, when, once employed in a position that entailed the dissemination of Dutch language and culture in an Anglo-Saxon society, I was continually amazed by the ignorance that prevails with regard to the Dutch language, even among colleagues involved in the teaching of other European languages. How often does one hear that Dutch is a dialect of German, or that Flemish and Dutch are closely related (but presumably separate) languages? To my knowledge there has never been a book in English that sets out to clarify such matters and to present other relevant issues to the general and studying public.1. Holland's contributions to European and world history, to art, to shipbuilding, hydraulic engineering, bulb growing and cheese manufacture for example, are all aspects of Dutch culture which have attracted the interest of other nations, and consequently there are numerous books in English and other languages on these subjects. But the language of the people that achieved so much in all those fields has been almost completely neglected by other nations, and to a degree even by the Dutch themselves who have long been admired for their polyglot talents but whose lack of interest in their own language seems never to have disturbed them.

  • The Effects of Travel on the Transfer of Linguistic Data Between Asia and Europe
    Borders and Crossings No. 2 - Year 10 04/2020 - LC.6 [sic] - a journal of literature, culture and literary translation Violeta Moretti, Juraj Dobrila University of Pula, Croatia ([email protected]) Broadening the World of Knowledge: The Effects of Travel on the Transfer of Linguistic Data between Asia and Europe Abstract This paper provides an examination of the effects of contact between Europe and Asia in the early modern period, especially with regard to the exchange of linguistic data and ideas. The contact induced by transcontinental travel − with various motives, including missionary work and increasing colonial expansion − added fuel to the intellectual study of language. Both Europe and Asia gained access to new languages and approaches to language, which enabled an exchange of linguistic data and methodologies, which can now be seen as one of the origins of the development of modern linguistics. In order to illustrate the main developments within modern linguistics, earlier systems are briefly addressed along with some of the roots of their transformation or displacement. Latin treatises, including De antiquitate et affinitate linguae Zendicae, Samscrdamicae et Germanicae dissertatio and De Latini sermonis origine et cum orientalibus linguis connexione dissertatio, serve as examples of the earliest development toward comparative linguistic studies in the West. These texts, written by the Carmelite Ivan Filip Vesdin (alias Paulinus a Sancto Bartholomeo; 1748−1806) are some of the earliest Western texts offering a comparative description of the Sanskrit language. Although basically referring to the history of linguistics, this article provides an insight into the transfer of ideas and concepts between cultures and peoples of these macro-regions of human civilization.
