  • 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 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.

  • Coins of Zurich Throughout History
    Coins of Zurich throughout History Not so long ago it was assumed that Zurich was founded in Roman times, and that the earliest coins of Zurich dated from the 9th century AD. In the meantime we know that Celtic tribes settled in Zurich long before the Romans – and that the first Zurich coins emerged about 1000 years earlier than hitherto believed, namely in the course of the 1st century BC. Hence our tour through the monetary history of Zurich starts in ancient Celtic times. Afterwards, however, no money was minted in Zurich over centuries indeed. Only under Eastern Frankish rule did the small town on the end of the lake become a mint again. And since then the Zurich mint remained in use – with longer and shorter discontuniations until 1848: then the Swiss franc was created as the single currency of Switzerland, and the coins from Zurich as well as all the rest of the circulating Swiss coins were devaluated and replaced. During the 1000 years between the minting of the first medieval coin of Zurich and the last money of the Canton of Zurich in 1848, our money served the most diverse purposes. It was used as means of payment and as article of trade, as measure of value and as savings and, last but not least, for prestige. The coins of Zurich reflect these various functions perspicuously – but see for yourself. 1 von 33 www.sunflower.ch Helvetia, Tigurini, Potin Coin (Zurich Type), Early 1st Century BC Denomination: AE (Potin Coin) Mint Authority: Tribe of the Tigurini Mint: Undefined Year of Issue: -100 Weight (g): 3.6 Diameter (mm): 19.0 Material: Others Owner: Sunflower Foundation Sometime around the beginning of the 1st century BC, Celts of the Tigurini tribe broke the ground of the Lindenhof in Zurich.

  • Strategies and Challenges for Crowdsourcing Regional Dialect Perception Data for Swiss German and Swiss French
    Strategies and Challenges for Crowdsourcing Regional Dialect Perception Data for Swiss German and Swiss French Jean-Philippe Goldman, Simon Clematide, Matthieu Avanzi, Raphael Tandler University of Zurich, Switzerland University of Geneva, Switzerland FNRS/Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium [email protected] Abstract Following the dynamics of several recent crowdsourcing projects with the aim of collecting linguistic data, this paper focuses on such a project in the field of Swiss German dialects and Swiss French accents. The main scientific goal of the data collected is to understand people’s perception of dialects and accents, and provide a resource for future computational systems such as automatic dialect recognition. A gamified crowdsourcing platform was set up and launched for both main locales of Switzerland: “din dialäkt” (‘your dialect’) for Swiss German dialects and “ton accent” (‘your accent’) for Swiss French. The main activity for the participant is to localize preselected audio samples by clicking on a map of Switzerland. The media was highly interested in the two platforms and many reports appeared in newspapers, television and radio, which increased the public’s awareness of the project and thus also the traffic on the page. At this point of the project, 7,500 registered users (beside 30,000 anonymous visitors), have provided 470,000 localizations. By connecting user’s results of this localization task to their socio-demographic information, a quantitative analysis of the localization data can reveal which factors play a role in their performance. Preliminary results showed that age and childhood residence influence the how well dialects/accents are recognized. Nevertheless, quantity does not ensure quality when it comes to data.

Department of 'HvS.'hK^ The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date l^.+. 2000. 11 Abstract Wilhelm Tell, the rugged mountain peasant armed with his crossbow, is the quintessential symbol of Switzerland. He personifies both Switzerland's ancient liberty and the concept of an armed Swiss citizenry. His likeness is everywhere in modern Switzerland and his symbolic value is clearly understood: patriotism, independence, self-defense. Tell's status as the preeminent national symbol of Switzerland is, however, relatively new. While enlightened reformers of the eighteenth century cultivated the image of Tell for patriotic purposes, it was, in fact, during the French occupation of Switzerland that Wilhelm Tell emerged as a national symbol.
