Al-though Canadians of Russian ancestiy make up stil1 another unique facet of our multicutrtural and bilingual country, the amount of material on the Russian ethnic aroup in general, and Russian surnames in particular, is minimal. It is with this in mind that this work is presented. The purpose of this the si-s jsto investigate Russian surnanes in Canada. The aims are: l-, to make as complete a collection of Russian surnames ín Canada as possible¡ 2. to analyze each surname stem as to meaning on the synchronic leve1, to give lhe prevalent ac- cent hrhere possible, to list the places where it:+'s found, to give the variations in spelling, and give the type of categoryi 3. to make an ínvenlory in alphabetical order of the Russian surnames that are explaíned. Al-1 remaining surnames appearing to be possibly Slav- ic, but whose stems are unexplained have been put int.o the l\ppendíx under the titl-e of "Index of Surnames Possibly 'Slavic but as Yet to be Explained. " vii over 2000 surnames were collected and scrutínized. As a background for this studyr there is also giv- en a note on Russian Canadians and the characteristics of Russian surnames. The conlusion summarizes the findings. TAB],E I v11l Alphabetical order Used in Thís Thesis A B C D Fì F.G H I ,J K L M N O P (Q) * R S T U V W (X) * Y Z1 H and W are rarely used to begin Russian surnames, and fíkewise are hardl-y found in the surnames themselves. But a few cases of the H and W occur probably because Èo some ears the Russian K (Kah) and X (Khah) and I (ceh) may have been spoken softly and interpreted lightly, thus to the ear giving the rHah' sound, and the Russian B (Veh) may have been inÈerpreted tightly lhus gíving the rWhehr sound, especially as it appears visually that no one transliteration system of the Russian letters into English and French equivalent sounds ¡vas officially for- mulated for consistency sake, or accepted on a broad ba- sis, or used, by various officiafs (or immigration ofi. ficers) . To go further it is interesting to note that the sounds of some Russian letters such as X (Zl1eln) , v ( oo), u (rseh), q (cheh), rl (shah), r¡ (shchah), bt (i âs in hit), ro (Joo), and g (Jah) were trans- *Nol Russían surnames have been found in Canada thus far (though a few may exist) beginning with the letters ç and [, and only a f ew have been found i,rith H or W. l-iterated ín the Latin alphabet in a variety of v/ays rx instead of one fixed letter design. * A sample of the trans l ite rat.íons that \,rere used to possibly represent the Russian letters on the previous page, plus remain- ing RusÈian l-etters of the \,rhoIe alphabet, is given in Table I1. *It should be emphasized that "...surnames under- go change or deformation ín the transliterative process simply..because no .unÍversa11y accepted system of trans- literat.ion has yet developed, second, the Cyrillic a1- phabeÈ has more graphemes than'the tralj-n. alphabet and Eome of them do not have a corresponding equivalent in English, Third, the attempt by some transliterators to g.ive a phonetíca1 transcríption of surnames added to the transliÈerative probfem by inÈroducing different cLusters for the same consonantsrr A.

    Lesson Plan: Russian Alphabet Soup! CURRICULUM FOCUS: Russian Language, World Culture GRADE LEVEL: 7-12 Overview The modern Russian alphabet is a variant of the cyrillic alphabet and contains 33 letters. To non-native speakers, it may look intimidating, but it’s actually quite easy to learn! In this activity, students will compare Russian and English letters and their sounds. They will then use this knowledge to fill out a worksheet identifying American geographical locations by their Russian language cognates. Objectives Materials Student will be able to: All materials are inclusive in this lesson plan. • Identify all 33 letters of the Russian alphabet; Activities • Pronounce 33 letters of the Russian alphabet; Begin by giving an overview of the Russian alphabet (provided on page 2). Show • Use the Russian alphabet students the chart of the Russian alphabet and its equivalent English letters and to spell out American sounds. Sound out all 33 letters of the alphabet together. Explain what “cognates” geographical locations. are and give examples (from attached worksheet). Ask students to fill in worksheet using the Russian alphabet chart as a key.

  • A Comparative Typology on Phonological System of Russian, English and Persian Languages
    International Journal of Educational Investigations 2017 (October), Vol.4, No.5: 38-53 Available online @ www.ijeionline.com ISSN: 2410-3446 A Comparative Typology on Phonological System of Russian, English and Persian Languages Malihe Bashirnezhad1*, Zargham Ghapanchi2 1. Tabaran Institute of Higher Education, Iran. 2. Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran. Email: [email protected] * Corresponding Author’s Email: [email protected] Abstract – The aim of this study is to identify similarities and differences among phonological system of Russian, English and Persian languages. To achieve this, the main differences and rules on phonological system of these languages have been gathered. The data is presented in a systematic order. Moreover the study tries to identify the problematic areas in production of these sounds. The model used is Yarmohammadi's (1996). In this model, there are basically two choices for phonological comparison: taxonomic phonology and generative phonology. In this study the taxonomic model has been adopted because it is more suitable “for phonological CA, particularly in applied areas”. The results indicate that when a syllabus structure does not exist in a language it makes problem for correct pronunciation, and language learners try to use approximate syllables in their mother tongue and the issue is salient in Persian-speakers; however, the deviation in the vowels' behavior can be a very prominent linguistic phenomenon. This study can express a path for further studies on other linguistics field such as morphology and syntax. Keywords: Comparative, Typology, Phonology, Linguistic 1. INTRODUCTION Languages are classified based on their phonemes; because the phonemes are fixed in any language and actually phonological typology is the study of different languages according to varies of their sounds.

  • Worcestershire Has Fluctuated in Size Over the Centuries
    HUMAN GENETICS IN WORCESTERSHIRE AND THE SHAKESPEARE COUNTRY I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Abet ystwyth Received7.x.66 1.INTRODUCTION THEwestern limits of Worcestershire lie about thirty miles to the east of Offa's Dyke—the traditional boundary between England and Wales —yet Evesham in the south-eastern part of the county is described by its abbot in a petition to Thomas Cromwell in as situated within the Principality of Wales. The Star Chamber Proceedings (No. 4) in the reign of Henry VII refer to the bridge of stone at Worcester by which the king's subjects crossed from England into Wales and the demonstrations against the Act of 1430 regulating navigation along the Severn were supported by large numbers of Welshmen living on the right bank of the river in Worcestershire. The object of the investigation is to ascertain whether significant genetic differences exist in the population of Worcestershire and south-western Warwickshire and, in particular, whether the people living west of the Severn are more akin to the Welsh than to the English. The possibility of determining, on genetic grounds, whether the Anglo- Saxon penetration was strongest from the south up the rivers Severn and Avon, or across the watershed from the Trent in the north, or from the east through Oxfordshire and Warwickshire is also explored. 2. THECOUNTY Worcestershirehas fluctuated in size over the centuries and Stratford-on-Avon came for a period under its jurisdiction while Shipston-on-Stour, now a Warwickshire township, remained in one of the detached portions of Worcestershire until the turn of the present century.
