Begun in England 150 years ago, it took more than 60 years to complete, and when it was finally finished in 1928, the British prime minister heralded it as a ‘national treasure’. It maintained this image throughout the twentieth century, and in 2006 the English public voted it an ‘Icon of England’, alongside Marmite, Buckingham Palace, and the bowler hat. But this book shows that the dictionary is not as ‘British’ as we all thought. The linguist and lexicographer, Sarah Ogilvie, combines her insider knowledge and experience with impeccable research to show that the OED is in fact an international product in both its content and its making. She examines the policies and practices of the various editors, applies qualitative and quantitative analysis, and finds new OED archival materials in the form of letters, reports, and proofs. She demonstrates that the OED,in its use of readers from all over the world and its coverage of World English, is in fact a global text. sarah ogilvie is Director of the Australian National Dictionary Centre, Reader in Linguistics at the Australian National University, and Chief Editor of Oxford Dictionaries, Australia.

  • World Languages
    WORLD LANGUAGES The courses described in this section are designed to help students learn to communicate effectively in a world language. Major emphasis is placed on developing students’ ability to comprehend what they hear and read and to express their thoughts orally and in writing. In addition to developing their communication skills, students will develop an awareness of and appreciation for other cultures. The world languages instructional program is designed to help students: • Understand an educated fluent speaker conversing about topics of general interest and speaking in such media as news broadcasts, plays, movies, and telecasts. • Speak fluently and comprehensibly on a range of topics. • Understand directly, without translating, the content of nontechnical writing, selected works of literature, and articles of general interest from periodicals. • Write comprehensibly for formal and informal purposes. • Develop awareness of the cultures of people speaking the world languages. At the elementary level, world languages instruction is given in magnet schools in the Spanish Language Immersion Magnets (SLIM) and the French Language Immersion Magnet (FLIM). At the secondary level, the modern world languages offered are Filipino, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish. Latin is offered to students interested in the study of a classical language. American Sign Language also meets the high school graduation requirement for world languages and introduces the basic structure of the language and development of its use within the deaf culture. World Languages offerings vary from school to school in response to student interest, staff resources, and other factors. In all cases, however, curriculum and instruction are aligned with the foreign language standards adopted by the California Department of Education in January 2019 (found in this PDF document www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/documents/wlstandards.pdf ), as well as the 2020 Foreign Language Framework for California Public Schools.

  • It's All “Dutch” to Me: a Crashcourse in the Sounds
    J.D. Smith, Ph.D., Genealogist IT’S ALL “DUTCH” TO ME: A CRASHCOURSE IN THE SOUNDS OF GERMAN BACKGROUND The goal of this talk is to introduce the sounds of German, as well as basic linguistic concepts, to help participants further their German and German-American genealogy research. While not all of us are in the position to pick up a second language, learning the sounds of German is an easy way to develop your ear and think creatively about genealogical problems. We will do this first by learning the phonetics of spoken German, and second by applying that knowledge to English-language examples. With practice, participants can use these skills to recognize anglicized texts and spellings: a skill vital not only to tracking ancestors but also making efficient use of search engines and indexes. Why Take a Linguistics-Based Approach to German-American Genealogy? i. Written texts comprise the most common kinds of evidence we encounter day- to-day in genealogy. These texts are as much a history of language as they are of people, places, and events we wish to study. ii. It encourages you to think not only about a document’s content but more so its context: any number of factors can influence the shaping of a document via the author/speaker, audience, and also the genre/form of document itself. iii. Before 1930, large-scale efforts at documentation like the U. S. Federal Census were largely recorded by hand. Even birth registers, most often completed by county-level notaries, were handwritten. Name spelling in these documents was not prescriptive but rather descriptive.

  • Stellvertretung As Vicarious Suffering in Dietrich Bonhoeffer
    Stellvertretung as Vicarious Suffering in Dietrich Bonhoeffer This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. by Samuel Paul Randall St. Edmund’s College December 2018 Stellvertretung as Vicarious Suffering in Dietrich Bonhoeffer Abstract Stellvertretung represents a consistent and central hermeneutic for Bonhoeffer. This thesis demonstrates that, in contrast to other translations, a more precise interpretation of Bonhoeffer’s use of Stellvertretung would be ‘vicarious suffering’. For Bonhoeffer Stellvertretung as ‘vicarious suffering’ illuminates not only the action of God in Christ for the sins of the world, but also Christian discipleship as participation in Christ’s suffering for others; to be as Christ: Schuldübernahme. In this understanding of Stellvertretung as vicarious suffering Bonhoeffer demonstrates independence from his Protestant (Lutheran) heritage and reflects an interpretation that bears comparison with broader ecumenical understanding. This study of Bonhoeffer’s writings draws attention to Bonhoeffer’s critical affection towards Catholicism and highlights the theological importance of vicarious suffering during a period of renewal in Catholic theology, popular piety and fictional literature. Although Bonhoeffer references fictional literature in his writings, and indicates its importance in ethical and theological discussion, there has been little attempt to analyse or consider its contribution to Bonhoeffer’s theology. This thesis fills this lacuna in its consideration of the reception by Bonhoeffer of the writings of Georges Bernanos, Reinhold Schneider and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Each of these writers features vicarious suffering, or its conceptual equivalent, as an important motif. According to Bonhoeffer Christian discipleship is the action of vicarious suffering (Stellvertretung) and of Verantwortung (responsibility) in love for others and of taking upon oneself the Schuld that burdens the world.

  • A Latin Finite-State Morphology Encoding Vowel Quantity
    Open Linguistics 2016; 2:386–392 Research Article Open Access Uwe Springmann*, Helmut Schmid, and Dietmar Najock LatMor: A Latin Finite-State Morphology Encoding Vowel Quantity DOI 10.1515/opli-2016-0019 Received Feb 29, 2016; accepted May 18, 2016 Abstract: We present the first large-coverage finite-state open-source morphology for Latin (called LatMor) which parses as well as generates vowel quantity information. LatMor is based on the Berlin Latin Lexicon comprising about 70,000 lemmata of classical Latin compiled by the group of Dietmar Najock in their work on concordances of Latin authors (see Rapsch and Najock, 1991) which was recently updated by us. Compared to the well-known Morpheus system of Crane (1991, 1998), which is written in the C programming language, based on 50,000 lemmata of Lewis and Short (1907), not well documented and therefore not easily extended, our new morphology has a larger vocabulary, is about 60 to 1200 times faster and is built in the form of finite-state transducers which can analyze as well as generate wordforms and represent the state-of-the-art implementation method in computational morphology. The current coverage of LatMor is evaluated against Morpheus and other existing systems (some of which are not openly accessible), and is shown to rank first among all systems together with the Pisa LEMLAT morphology (not yet openly accessible). Recall has been analyzed taking the Latin Dependency Treebank¹ as gold data and the remaining defect classes have been identified. LatMor is available under an open source licence to allow its wide usage by all interested parties.

  • Online English Dictionaries: Friend Or Foe?
    Online English Dictionaries: Friend or Foe? Gao Yongwei Keywords: online dictionary, e-lexicography, English-Chinese lexicography. Abstract The emergence of online English dictionaries in the past two decades has not only changed the lookup habit of many people and but also influenced the way dictionaries are compiled and presented. The traditional role played by paper dictionaries has been challenged, as witness the sharp decrease of the sales of the so-called “dead-tree” dictionaries and the steady diminishing in their readership. In consequence, many paper dictionaries have been gathering dust on bookshelves in bookstores, libraries or private studies. The ever-increasing popularity of online dictionaries has even made some alarmists suggest the possible demise of paper dictionaries. However, the future of dictionary-making and that of bilingual lexicography in particular is not as dismal as what people usually think. The lexicographical information presented in online dictionaries may prove to be a bonanza for bilingual lexicographers. This paper attempts to research into the major online English dictionaries that are available today, and their advantages and disadvantages will also be discussed. The scene of online English-Chinese dictionaries will also be investigated, and opportunities presented to English-Chinese dictionary-makers in the digital era will be explored. According to most current English reference books, a dictionary is usually defined as “a book that gives a list of words in alphabetical order and explains what they mean”. However, technological advances have already redefined what a dictionary is. Many dictionaries that are being used today are no longer “books” in the traditional sense of the word as they can be found in electronic devices (e.g.
