The results of the systematic investigation of the occurrence of Heracleum man- tegazzianum, Impatiens glandulifera, Fallopia japonica and F. sachalinensis along the rivers Sauer, Woltz, Clerve and Wiltz as well as their tributaries in the North of Luxembourg are presented. The results of the survey realised in 2006 are compared to those of a similar pro- ject carried out in 2000 and 2001. The species have increased their distribution from 2000 to 2006, but the propagation dynamics run differently and increase from Fallopia spp. over H. mantegazzianum to I. glandulifera.

  • Hatt Or Si? Neuter and Feminine Gender Assignment in Reference to Female Persons in Luxembourgish
    Hatt or si? Neuter and feminine gender assignment in reference to female persons in Luxembourgish Abstract: In Luxembourgish, feminine as well as neuter gender can be assigned to female persons. Here, female first names are morphologically treated as neuter and therefore trigger neuter gender on their targets (e.g. definite article, personal pronoun). Last names referring to women, however, are feminine and take feminine targets respectively. While the use of neuter and feminine in prototypical and invariable reference contexts are well-known, morphological conflicts often arise regarding more complex name types (e.g. female first name + last name) leading to different degrees of variation between both genders. Building especially upon previous findings by Döhmer (2016), the present contribution offers a first extensive empirical analysis on the use of neuter and feminine personal pronouns considering different female referents as well as familiarity, the referent’s and the speaker’s as decisive (socio-pragmatical) factors for gender assignment. The results are based on elicited data retrieved from an online survey and audio recordings collected by means of the the Luxembourgish language app Schnëssen and allow a quantification of the phenomenon going beyond previous contributions and descriptions in reference grammars. The apparent-time analysis, carried out in order to identify potential tendencies in language change, suggests a preference for neuter pronominalization for younger speakers of Luxembourgish in variable reference contexts. keywords: gender assignment, variation, pronominalization, neuter, Luxembourgish 1 Introduction While a correlation between gender and sex usually applies to appellatives and anthroponyms, one can use feminine as well as neuter when referring to female persons in Luxembourgish.
