According to the World Heritage Convention of 1972 ICOMOS is an advisory body of the World Heritage Committee and of UNESCO. 2. The responsibility of the advisory bodies ICOMOS, IUCN and ICCROM is defined in articles 8, 13 and 14 of the World Heritage Convention as well as in paragraphs 30 and 31 of the Operational Guidelines. 3. The mandate of ICOMOS is defined in paragraph 35: “The specific role of ICOMOS in relation to the Convention includes: evaluation of properties nominated for inscription on the World Heritage List, monitoring the state of conservation of World Heritage cultural properties, reviewing requests for International Assistance submitted by States Parties, and providing input and support for capacity-building activities.” 39th Session of the World Heritage Committee - Bonn 2015 ICOMOS Germany: Preventive Monitoring ICOMOS Global Monitoring Initiatives 1. National committees of ICOMOS – in accordance with article 4 of the ICOMOS Statutes – have a specific responsibility for World Cultural Heritage and other monuments and sites in their country. 2. Under these circumstances and due to different experiences, individual national committees have developed special initiatives to monitor the state of conservation of World Heritage sites in their country. All in all, this programme can be called Proactive Monitoring or Preventive Monitoring. 3. The concept of Preventive Monitoring of World Heritage Sites was confirmed by the ICOMOS General Assembly in Quebec in 2008: ”Noting the valuable initiatives (...) of many National Committees to monitor World Heritage sites and other aspects of conservation (…) the 16th General Assembly acknowledge and stress the importance of preventive actions and monitoring as keys to successful protection and conservation of heritage.” 39th Session of the World Heritage Committee - Bonn 2015 ICOMOS Germany: Preventive Monitoring ICOMOS Global Monitoring Initiatives 4. Since 2008, the President of ICOMOS International, Gustavo Araoz, has further developed the Global Heritage Monitoring / Observatory Initiative. 5. Incidentally, the responsibility of Preventive Monitoring does not only concern individual World Heritage Sites, but rather – in correspondence with articles 4 and 5 of the World Heritage Convention – the entire cultural heritage. 6. The Heritage@Risk program – endorsed by ICOMOS at the General Assembly in Mexico in 1999 – is part of the ICOMOS initiative to build a Global Heritage Monitoring / Observatory Network (to identify threatened World Heritage as well as monuments and sites in danger and to share remedies) 39th Session of the World Heritage Committee - Bonn 2015 ICOMOS Germany: Preventive Monitoring 39th Session of the World Heritage Committee - Bonn 2015 ICOMOS Germany: Preventive Monitoring The Monitoring Group of ICOMOS Germany Initiated in the late 1990s, the monitoring group for World Heritage in Germany is made up of almost 50 experts including ICOMOS colleagues from Austria, Switzerland, Luxemburg and from France, Poland and the Czech Republic. The members of this monitoring group are admitted by the board of ICOMOS Germany upon recommendation by the group. They form an interdisciplinary team of art historians, archaeologists, architects, preservationists, town planners, structural and civil engineers, restorers etc. who work as tandem or as teams of three in accordance with the “Four-Eyes-Principle” for each site. 39th Session of the World Heritage Committee - Bonn 2015 ICOMOS Germany: Preventive Monitoring Agreements of Cooperation For the World Heritage monitoring ICOMOS Germany entered into an agreement with the Vereinigung der Landesdenkmalpfleger in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Association of Federal Conservationists) and the German UNESCO Commission. These agreements (in German) can be found on the website of ICOMOS Germany: 1.Agreement between ICOMOS Germany and the Vereinigung der Landesdenkmalpfleger in the FRG, April 10, 2012 (see http://www.icomos.de/pdf/VereinbarungVdL_2012.pdf). 2.Agreement between ICOMOS Germany and the German UNESCO Commission, July 5, 2013 (see http://www.icomos.de/pdf/130705VereinbDUK_ICOMOSunterz.pdf). 39th Session of the World Heritage Committee - Bonn 2015 ICOMOS Germany: Preventive Monitoring Working Method and Reporting 1. The task of the monitoring group is to get an overview of the state of conservation and possible changes to the World Heritage sites they are in charge of. This should be done based on on-site visits, meetings with people responsible locally and with experts, and by studying current plans. The group follows up information about measures that might harm the outstanding universal value and the integrity and authenticity of the World Heritage sites. According to the principles of the monitoring the most important aim is to “avoid or at least reduce conflicts by giving advice at an early stage”. 2. In particularly problematic cases the president of the national committee can notify the International Secretariat of ICOMOS in Paris of the situation. The Secretariat will investigate the case and, if necessary, inform the World Heritage Centre of UNESCO if a reactive monitoring seems appropriate. 39th Session of the World Heritage Committee - Bonn 2015 ICOMOS Germany: Preventive Monitoring Steering Committee of the Monitoring Group The monitoring group is represented and coordinated

Link: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/00243841 External Influences on English: From its Beginnings to the Renaissance, D. Gary Miller, Oxford University Press (2012), xxxi + 317 pp., Price: £65.00, ISBN 9780199654260 Lexical borrowing aside, external influences are not the main concern of most histories of the English language. It is therefore timely, and novel, to have a history of English (albeit only up to the Renaissance period) that looks at English purely from the perspective of external influences. Miller assembles his book around five strands of influence: (1) Celtic, (2) Latin and Greek, (3) Scandinavian, (4) French, (5) later Latin and Greek input, and he focuses on influences that left their mark on contemporary mainstream English rather than on regional or international varieties. This review looks at all chapters, but priority is given to Miller’s discussions of structural influence, especially on English syntax, morphology and phonology, which often raise a number of theoretical issues. Loanwords from various sources, which are also covered extensively in the book, will receive slightly less attention. Chapter 1 introduces the Indo-European and Germanic background of English and gives short descriptions of the languages with which English came into contact. This is a good way to start the book, but the copious lists of loanwords from Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, German, Low German, Afrikaans etc., most of which appear in English long after the Renaissance stop-off point, were not central to its aims. It would have been better to use this space to expand upon the theoretical framework employed throughout the book.

    500th Anniversary Protestant Reformation Tour of Germany (12 days/10 nights) Itinerary See first hand the venues where Martin Luther the Reformer changed history. Get a view of modern East Germany 500 years after the Reformation. Follow the Luther trail. Experience the music in the places where J. S. Bach, Mendelssohn and many others worked and changed the course of music. Enjoy social and cultural exchange with Germans. Day 1 Departure US Overnight flights to Frankfurt, Germany. Day 2 Arrival/ Eisenach “Guten Tag” and welcome to Germany! Meet your English-speaking German tour escort and transfer by private bus to Eisenach, birthplace of Johann Sebastian Bach. You’ll stop in Mühlhausen, with one of the largest remaining medieval city centers in Germany, where Bach once worked as city organist. Continue to Eisenach for check in and welcome group dinner. Day 3 Erfurt/Eisenach Guided walking tour of Eisenach, including visits to the Luther house, one of the oldest and love- liest half-timbered houses in Thuringia, and Bach's birth place. Continue to Erfurt, the young Luther's spiritual home and capital of the land of Thuringia. Your sightseeing includes a visit to the Domberg (Cathedral Hill) with its two main churches, as well as the Augustinian Monastery, where Luther was a student of philosophy from 1501 to 1505. Overnight in Eisenach. Day 4 Wartburg/Leipzig Today, visit stunning Wartburg Castle, one of Germany’s best-preserved medieval castles. The Castle embodies centuries of German history but is perhaps best known as the place where Martin Luther sought sanctuary after his excommunication, and where he translated the New Testament from the original Greek texts into German in only 10 weeks.

    Reflections on Diversity Linguistics: Language Inventories and Atlases

    Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 15 Reflections on Language Documentation 20 Years after Himmelmann 1998 ed. by Bradley McDonnell, Andrea L. Berez-Kroeker & Gary Holton, pp. 122–131 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ 12 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24814 Reflections on diversity linguistics: Language inventories and atlases Sebastian Drude University of Iceland Goethe-Universität Frankfurt This contribution gives a short overview of “language inventorying”: research aiming at creating comprehensive catalogues and atlases of all the languages in the world, which has seen a boost with the renewed interest in linguistic diversity triggered by the awareness of language endangerment in the 1990s. By focusing on the development of the ISO standard 639 and SIL’s Ethnologue, the main advances and issues in this area are discussed. The overview concludes by presenting the major alternative resources, in particular Glottolog. The label “diversity linguistics” has been introduced by Martin Haspelmath and others at the Max-Planck-Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig.1 To my knowledge, it was first used in the context of the final conference of that institute’s department of linguistics (MPI-EVA 2015). Now there exist a number of activities under this label, including a book series “Studies in Diversity Linguistics” (Haspelmath 2014ff). In a broad sense, the term designates those branches of linguistics that show interest in the diversity of languages, their structure and relationship: descriptive linguistics (especially of previously understudied languages, often in a fieldwork setting), language typology, and comparative linguistics. Language Documentation is included in or at least a close neighbor to this group.
