    Dynamics of Religious Ritual: Migration and Adaptation in Early Medieval Britain

    Dynamics of Religious Ritual: Migration and Adaptation in Early Medieval Britain A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Brooke Elizabeth Creager IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Peter S. Wells August 2019 Brooke Elizabeth Creager 2019 © For my Mom, I could never have done this without you. And for my Grandfather, thank you for showing me the world and never letting me doubt I can do anything. Thank you. i Abstract: How do migrations impact religious practice? In early Anglo-Saxon England, the practice of post-Roman Christianity adapted after the Anglo-Saxon migration. The contemporary texts all agree that Christianity continued to be practiced into the fifth and sixth centuries but the archaeological record reflects a predominantly Anglo-Saxon culture. My research compiles the evidence for post-Roman Christian practice on the east coast of England from cemeteries and Roman churches to determine the extent of religious change after the migration. Using the case study of post-Roman religion, the themes religion, migration, and the role of the individual are used to determine how a minority religion is practiced during periods of change within a new culturally dominant society. ii Table of Contents Abstract …………………………………………………………………………………...ii List of Figures ……………………………………………………………………………iv Preface …………………………………………………………………………………….1 I.

Arbeitsprogramm 2014 besteht aus geologischen Studien und mikrobieller Probennahme. Weitere geplante operative Arbeiten 2015 und 2016 sind durch Betriebsplanverfahren und Anhörungen vorab zu genehmigen. CA schafft Öffentlichkeit und Transparenz für alle Aktivitäten.

Bisher waren die Gründer der Central Anglia für Großunternehmen schwerpunktmäßig im skandinavischen und deutschen Explorationsgeschäft tätig.

Constraints on Structual Borrowing in a Multilingual Contact Situation Abstract Many principles of structural borrowing have been proposed, all under qualitative theories. Some argue that linguistic conditions must be met for borrowing to occur (‘universals’); others argue that aspects of the socio-demographic situation are more relevant than linguistic considerations (e.g. Thomason and Kaufman 1988). This dissertation evaluates the roles of both linguistic and social factors in structural borrowing from a quantitative, variationist perspective via a diachronic and ethnographic examination of the language contact situation on Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, where the berian creole, Papiamentu, is in contact with Spanish, Dutch, and English. Data are fro m texts (n=171) and sociolinguistic interviews (n=129). The progressive, the passive construction, and focus fronting are examined. In addition, variationist methods were applied in a novel way to the system of verbal morphology. The degree to which borrowed morphemes are integrated into Papiamentu was noted at several samplings over a 100-year time span.

    Comments on Søren Bo Nielsen, Poul Schou and Jacob Krog Søbygaard: Elements of Income Tax Evasion and Avoidance in Denmark Fredrik Andersson*

    SWEDISH ECONOMIC POLICY REVIEW 9 (2002) 165-169 Comments on Søren Bo Nielsen, Poul Schou and Jacob Krog Søbygaard: Elements of income tax evasion and avoidance in Denmark Fredrik Andersson* The task of discussing a paper is, to some extent, facilitated, but also hampered, by really enjoying the paper and the work behind it. Such is the case with the paper by Nielsen, Schou and Søbygaard. The au- thors make a pertinent contribution to the discussion of tax evasion and tax avoidance. In more specific terms, they provide some general discussion and explore two issues quite thoroughly. First, they exploit the relationship between the tax base for income taxation and the tax base for consumption taxation in order to indirectly identify an an- ticipated shortfall in the tax base for income taxation. Their conclu- sion is that there is indeed such a shortfall in the range 1.8-3.6 per cent of GDP. Second, the authors explore migration out of and into Denmark in order to assess whether such migration threatens the per- sonal-income-tax base. They conclude that the evidence does not in- dicate the existence of a serious threat in this regard. The paper takes on important aspects of tax evasion and tax avoidance. The conclusions drawn are corroborated by solid empirical evidence, and as regards the basic analysis of the paper, I have found it very hard to mount any criticism. Nevertheless, I have some com- ments, and in the following, I will start by providing some general comments, and then proceed to painting a somewhat more pessimis- tic picture regarding the pressures likely to be exerted on the tax bases in Scandinavia by the mobility of skilled labour.

  • Die Dänische Sprache in Der Region Angeln. Eine Kulturhistorische

    Die Dänische Sprache in Der Region Angeln. Eine Kulturhistorische

    Harald Wolbersen (Flensburg) über: Die dänische Sprache in der Region Angeln Eine kulturhistorische Untersuchung zur Aufgabe eines Dialekts im 19. Jahrhundert Zusammenfassung Der vorliegende Artikel beabsichtigt den Sprachwechselprozess in der Frühmoderne zu erklären. Die dänische Varietät »Sønderjysk« war vor 1800 in der Region Angeln im Herzogtum Schleswig, neben dem Niederdeutschen, die gewöhnliche Umgangssprache, bevor sie im 19. Jahrhundert aufgegeben wurde. Ein Blick auf die sprachliche Struktur gibt Aufschluss über die Art der Kontaktvarietät und ihre Stabilität. Der Niedergang der Sprache wird darüber hinaus mit Hilfe außersprachlicher Quellen beleuchtet. Die Beobachtung und Bewertung der Sprache in zeitgenössischen Aussagen vermitteln einen Eindruck, welches Prestige die Sprache genoss und wie sie gebraucht wurde. Ein Überblick der kulturhistorischen Entwicklungen in Verbindung mit einsetzender Alphabetisierung und dem Vordringen eines Nationalbewusstseins erklären den wichtigen Faktor des kulturhistorischen Sprachwechsels. Abstract This article aims to understand the process of language shift in early modern times. The Danish vernacular »Sønderjysk« was before 1800 the common language in Anglia, a region of the former duchy of Schleswig, beside the other vernacular Low German, but disappeared during the 19th century. A view on some linguistic features will tell us what kind of variety language contact we have to deal with and how stable that language has been. The decline of the language is further examined by metalinguistic sources: Descriptions of language use and language shift, observed and by contemporary witnesses, give an impression of what the prestige and the use of that language was. An overview of the cultural and historical development in relation to literacy and national consciousness explain the crucial point of a cultural-historical language shift.
