April 1995 vom Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures und am 24. April 1995 von der Graduate School der University of Kansas als Dissertation angenommen. An dieser Stelle möchte ich zunächst Herm Prof. Dr. Peter Rehder für die Aufnahme dieser Dissertation in seine Reihe danken. Ich möchte auch meine Dankbarkeit mehreren Personen gegenüber zum Ausdruck bringen, die mir bei dieser Arbeit behilflich waren und besondere Anerkennung verdienen. Dr. Maie Greenberg, as director of the dissertation, is certainly deserving of honorable mention here. His professionalism in all aspects of the project from critical commentary to professional guidance, was instrumental in bringing this project to a successful close and made the entire dissertation process a relatively painless experience. The other dissertation committee members, Dr. Joseph Conrad, Dr. Jadwiga Maurer, Dr. Robert Rankin and Dr. Donald Watkins, also deserve a word of acknowledgement for their efforts on my behalf. Herm Prof. Dr. Lewis Tusken, meinem ersten Russischlehrer und jetzt guten Freund, der mir einmal gesagt hat, “you don4 really set out to get a Ph.D., you just keep going until all of a sudden you’re there", möchte ich hier gestehen, daß er vollkommen recht hane. To my parents, the Rev. Richard and Charlene Lauersdorf, who were convinced that I would never get out of school, I would like to say thanks for the innumerable things that they have done along the way. A mes beaux-parents, Michel et Jacqueline Dupuis, qui nous ont gâtés de nombreuses manières ces dernières années, je dis merci de tout coeur. C'est finalement à ma femme.

  • Content and Linguistic Comparison of Ideological Structures of Slavic Reciprocity in the Works of Slovak and Croatian Thinkers at the End of the 18Th Century
    Graeco-Latina Brunensia 25 / 2020 / 2 https://doi.org/10.5817/GLB2020-2-9 Content and Linguistic Comparison of Ideological Structures of Slavic Reciprocity in the Works of Slovak and Croatian Thinkers at the End of the 18th Century Katarína Karabová (Trnava University) / ARTICLES ČLÁNKY Abstract The last two decades of the 18th century present an interesting opportunity to explore the origins of the idea of Slavic reciprocity as witnessed in the analysis of literary works written in Latin. The paper addresses the question of where and if there is an imaginary boundary of nationally tuned texts. The research should be primarily based on the works written at the end of the 18th century in the Slovak and Croatian milieu. Based on the analysis of content as well as linguistic analysis of the ideological intent in the literary texts of the contemporary authors (P. M. Katančić, J. Severini, J. Papánek and others), the author of the presented study aims to determine potential backgrounds. The research is based primarily on historically tuned works that at that time brought comprehensive insights into the history of individual nations and the related sensitive questions that are raised to a greater or lesser extent even today. The focus of the analysis on the content and language of ideological imaginations may be significant in the search for a milestone. It is clear that historical compendia had been written even before 1780, therefore the comparison of these works is more than beneficial, as it could bring new insights and give us the answer with regard to the development of the idea of Slavic reciprocity.

  • Using 'North Wind and the Sun' Texts to Sample Phoneme Inventories
    Blowing in the wind: Using ‘North Wind and the Sun’ texts to sample phoneme inventories Louise Baird ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language, The Australian National University [email protected] Nicholas Evans ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language, The Australian National University [email protected] Simon J. Greenhill ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language, The Australian National University & Department of Linguistic and Cultural Evolution, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History [email protected] Language documentation faces a persistent and pervasive problem: How much material is enough to represent a language fully? How much text would we need to sample the full phoneme inventory of a language? In the phonetic/phonemic domain, what proportion of the phoneme inventory can we expect to sample in a text of a given length? Answering these questions in a quantifiable way is tricky, but asking them is necessary. The cumulative col- lection of Illustrative Texts published in the Illustration series in this journal over more than four decades (mostly renditions of the ‘North Wind and the Sun’) gives us an ideal dataset for pursuing these questions. Here we investigate a tractable subset of the above questions, namely: What proportion of a language’s phoneme inventory do these texts enable us to recover, in the minimal sense of having at least one allophone of each phoneme? We find that, even with this low bar, only three languages (Modern Greek, Shipibo and the Treger dialect of Breton) attest all phonemes in these texts.

  • Christianization of the Territory of Today's Moravia and Slovakia Before 8631 Pokristjanjevanje Ozemlja Današnje Moravske In
    655 Izvirni znanstveni članek/Article (1.01) Bogoslovni vestnik/Theological Quarterly 80 (2020) 3, 655—667 Besedilo prejeto/Received:04/2020; sprejeto/Accepted:07/2020 UDK/UDC: 272-9(437.32+437.6) DOI: 10.34291/BV2020/03/Ivanic © 2020 Ivanič, CC BY 4.0 Peter Ivanič Christianization of the Territory of Today’s Moravia and Slovakia before 8631 Pokristjanjevanje ozemlja današnje Moravske in Slo- vaške pred letom 863 Abstract: Christianization, associated with consolidation of power and establish- ment of early Christian state formations, contributed significantly to creation of medieval Europe. Although the territory of today´s Moravia (eastern part of the Czech Republic) and Slovakia came into contact with Christianity already at the end of antiquity, the more intensive Christianization of these lands took place only from the 8th century, when this territory was settled by Slavs. Mis- sionaries from the Frankish Empire, from the territory of Istria, Dalmatia and northern Italy came here. Domestic Slavic elites started to convert to Christian- ity as from the 9th century. For them, Christianity became a means of recogniz- ing their social status externally and allowed them to integrate with the more culturally advanced Christian world. Archaeological findings (e.g. crosses and captorgs, plaques and bells from Bojná, objects of secular character), written sources, sacral architecture and burying methods testify to the existence of Christianity in the territory of today´s Moravia and Slovakia, especially in cen- ters of the power. Key words: christianization, Christianity, missionaries, Slovakia, Moravia Povzetek: Pokristjanjevanje, povezano z utrjevanjem oblasti in vzpostavljanjem zgodnjih krščanskih državnih tvorb, je odločilno prispevalo k oblikovanju sre- dnjeveške Evrope.

Kiss Introduction In this paper, 1 we study the phonetic properties of three-consonant clusters (CC#C) in Slovak. More precisely, we will investigate the laryngeal proper- ties of the velar–alveolar stop clusters / kt / and / ɡd /, and the alveolar fricative– stop clusters / st / and / zd / in word-final position when followed by a voiced or a voiceless obstruent, or a sonorant consonant. This topic is of interest for two reasons: (i) there are not many studies dealing with the laryngeal charac- teristics of three-consonant clusters, and (ii) the study of consonant clusters can shed further light on the issue whether or not regressive voicing assimila- tion (RVA) in general, including pre-sonorant voicing, is a neutralizing pro- cess in Slovak.

This paper discusses the issue of the Cˇ ív landscape changes in the context of its use (historical land use). Between 1701 and 1709, new inhabitants began cultivating the desolated landscape of the Dorog Basin, which is surrounded by the Pilis Mountains. This paper aims to characterize the Slovak exclave Cˇ ív land use with an emphasis on the period from the beginning of the 18th century (Slovak colonization of the analyzed territory) to 2019. These findings subsequently lead to the evaluation of the stability of the cultural-historical landscape as an essential condition for the development of ecotourism in the cultural landscape.

Research has focused on the pattern-driven approach. The whole methodology of so called competing patterns capable of handling exceptions to be found so widely in natural language data and computer typesetting, is further developed. Competing patterns can store context dependent informa- tion and can be learnt from data, or written by experts, or combined together. In the first part of the thesis, the theory of competing patterns is built; competing patterns are defined, cornerstones of methodology based on stratified sampling, bootstrapping and problem modeling by competing patterns are described. Segmentation problems (hyphenation) and problems of disambiguation of tagged data in corpus linguistics are used as examples when developing formal model of the competing patterns method. The second part consist of a series of seven published papers that de- scribe problems addressed by the proposed methods: applications of compet- ing patterns and related learning methods in areas of hyphenation, hyphen- ation of compound words and, for example, the segmentation of Thai texts.

SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHY, PSYCHOLOGY AND LANGUAGE SCIENCES Sociolinguistic variation among Slovak immigrants in Edinburgh, Scotland ZUZANA ELLIOTT A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 Abstract This thesis investigates sociolinguistic variation among highly fluent Slovak-English bilingual women and also long-term immigrants residing in Edinburgh, Scotland. The present study adds to existing literature on urban migratory experiences (Block, 2008; Forsberg, Lundell and Bartning, 2015; Howley, 2015), comparing cross-cultural variation of immigrants’ speech with their local peers (Drummond, 2010, 2012; Meyerhoff et al., 2009), by exploring linguistic and social constraints on language attitudes and accent acquisition among bilingual Slovak immigrants. Sociolinguistic interview data were obtained from 32 women, ages 22-46: 20 Slovak immigrants, 8 Edinburgh Scottish participants, and 6 bilingual Slovak teachers of English in Slovakia.

  • And the Surroundings –
    Liptovský Mikuláš and the surroundings – The town between the mountains Miloš Janoška, a teacher and an enthusiastic promoter of hiking and tourism, wrote about Liptovský Mikuláš in the first Slovak tour guide in 1932: “Liptovský Sv. Mikuláš is located in the center of the Liptov region. It lies in a wide picturesque valley surrounded by smaller hills, followed by high mountains of the Low Tatras in the south and Liptovské hole (the Western Tatras) in the north.“ The nature is rarely as generous as it was in case of Liptov with its high peaks and deep valleys, beautiful flora, diverse fauna, caves, bright streams and rivers or mineral springs. This is what makes Liptov one of the most sought after holiday destinations in Slovakia. Tourists can feel the energy of the mountains and explore hundreds of kilometers of marked hiking trails, feel the positive effects of thermal water in four water parks, ski to their heart’s content on more than seventy kilometers of slopes or learn something new in museums, galleries and monuments of folk architecture. Liptov offers so many opportunities that everyone can enjoy their time here.
