First, it presents information about the core'skills knteaching: (a) task analysis and the development of taxonomies of goals and objectives; (b) assessment; (c) selection and use of instructional strategies and materials. Second, it presents information about Six basic curricuium-domainsf (a). arithmetic; '(b) language arts; (c) reading; (d) health; (e) science; (f) socialseudies. For the experienced and inexperienced teacher alike, these chaptersshould - serve as a reference which defines the specific,enabling, and broad skills youngsters are expected to master at the GeorgiaAcademy for the Blind. Ofocourse, it is the teacher's primary responsibilitf to ensure that youngsters have, indeed, mastered the Skills during their tenure atthe % ACademy. The volume is not intended as a permanent curriculum guide. Rather, it should be revised and updated as new, effective.approaches areadded to the literature. In addition, skilla in the various tagonomiesshould be modified should it be determined that they would best belocated in a different sequence or changed in other ways.

Stars and planetary systems are formed out of molecu- lar clouds in the interstellar medium. Although the sequence of steps involved in star formation are generally known, a comprehensive theory which describes the details of the processes that drive formation of stars is still missing. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA), with its unprece- dented sensitivity and angular resolution, will play a major role in filling these gaps in our understanding. In this article, we present a few science cases that the Indian star formation community is interested in pursuing with SKA, which include investigation of AU-sized structures in the neu- tral ISM, the origin of thermal and non-thermal radio jets from protostars and the accretion history of protostars, and formation of massive stars and their effect on the surrounding medium. Key words. HII regions—ISM: jets and outflows—ISM: structure— stars: formation—stars: protostars. 1. Introduction The formation of stars and planetary systems out of interstellar clouds is one of the central problems in contemporary astrophysics.

    EstablishingAnaphoricDependenciesandthePuzzle ofSplitAntecedents AnnaVolkova 1. Introduction According to the Canonical Binding Theory (Chomsky, 1981) anaphors must be bound in their local domain (governing category) and pronominals must be free. The discovery of “long-distance anaphors” (e.g. Thrainsson, 1976; Giorgi, 1984), which violate the locality condition, induced the search for independent criteria. Giorgi (1984: 310) proposed a widely adopted operational test: “pronouns can have split antecedents and anaphors cannot”. An antecedent is split if it consists of (at least) two DPs, which occupy separate argument positions, as in (1): while in Italian the 3rd person plural pronominal li does allow split antecedents, the anaphor se stessi does not. (1) a. Giannii comunicò a Marioj che l’azienda lii+j aveva licenziati. Gianni told Mario that the factory had fired them. b. *Giannii ha ricondotto Mariaj a se stessii+j. Gianni brought back Maria to themselves. (Giorgi, 1984: 310) Recent minimalist binding theories derive this property of anaphors from the way a dependency on the antecedent is established – via Agree (Rooryck & Vanden Wyngaerd, 2011), movement (Hornstein, 2000) or SELF-movement and Agree-based chains (Reuland, 2011). However, this leads to an important problem, since some languages have elements that i) may be locally bound and thus seem to behave like anaphors; yet ii) allow split antecedents which is a property of pronominals (e.g. Japanese and Korean, see Katada, 1991; Kasai, 2000). To resolve this problem, it is crucial to carry out in-depth studies of languages with such elements – I call them semi-reflexives – and assess which factors are involved. In the present paper I review data from one such language, namely Meadow Mari (Uralic).

  • Postsyntactic Reordering in the Mari Nominal Domain - Evidence from Suspended Affixation
    Postsyntactic Reordering in the Mari Nominal Domain - Evidence from Suspended Affixation Elina Guseva Philipp Weisser December 19, 2017 Abstract We argue that the unusual morphological template in the noun phrase of Meadow Mari should be derived on the basis of a simple, semantically transparent syntax. In accordance with the Mirror Principle, the analysis we propose derives the actual sur- face order of morphemes in Mari by means of two postsyntactic reordering operations: A lowering operation and a metathesis operation. Evidence for this account comes from a process called Suspended Affixation. This process is known to delete the right edges of non-final conjuncts under recoverability. We show however, that Suspended Affixation in Mari does not apply to the right edges of surface orders. Rather, the right edges of an intermediate postsyntactic representation are relevant. Suspended Affixation applies after some but not all postsyntactic operations have applied. Thus, the account we present makes a strong argument for a stepwise derivation of the actual surface forms and thus for a strongly derivational architecture of the postsyn- tactic module. 1 Introduction One of the long-standing questions of morphological theory is what determines the order of morphemes within a complex word. Despite an increasing empirical basis and the ever growing body of relevant literature, there is no consensus among morphologists how this question should be answered. According to the traditional view, adopted in many descriptive grammars, the ordering of morphemes follows a fixed template where every morpheme is assigned a specific position within that template. It is argued that while these templates emerge from outdated syntactic rules of a previous stage of the language, they bear no significant syntactic relevance synchronically (see amongst many others Givon (1971); Bybee (1985); Stump (2001); Spencer (2003)).

    Evaluation of Dictionary Creating Methods for Finno-Ugric Minority Languages Zsanett Ferenczi, Ivan´ Mittelholcz, Eszter Simon, Tamas´ Varadi´ Research Institute for Linguistics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, H-1068 Budapest, Benczur´ u. 33. fferenczi.zsanett, mittelholcz.ivan, simon.eszter, [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we present the evaluation of several bilingual dictionary building methods applied to fKomi-Permyak, Komi-Zyrian, Hill Mari, Meadow Mari, Northern Saami, Udmurtg–fEnglish, Finnish, Hungarian, Russiang language pairs. Since these Finno-Ugric minority languages are under-resourced and standard dictionary building methods require a large amount of pre-processed data, we had to find alternative methods. In a thorough evaluation, we compare the results for each method, which proved our expectations that the precision of standard lexicon building methods is quite low for under-resourced languages. However, utilizing Wikipedia title pairs extracted via inter-language links and Wiktionary-based methods provided useful results. The newly created word pairs enriched with several linguistic information are to be deployed on the web in the framework of Wiktionary. With our dictionaries, the number of Wiktionary entries in the above mentioned Finno-Ugric minority languages can be multiplied.

The article examines semantical and structural organisation of political vocabulary in two languages —Tatar and Mari—both from a historical perspective and at the present stage of their development. Lexico-semantic groups expressing the concepts of “power” and “politician” are thoroughly explored. The following dominant ways of political vocabulary formation are identified: morphological, morpho-syntactic, lexico-grammatical and phono-morphological. Political lexemes deriving from Altai, Turkic and Tatar strata are investigated. Borrowings in the political vocabulary are carefully examined, data drawn from the leading Tatar- and Mari-medium newspapers. The article also covers a study of functioning of the political vocabulary related to the concepts of “power” and “politician”, such as: state / country, government, political party / movement, heads of state departments, elections. Keywords: political vocabulary, socio-political vocabulary, system of terms, nucleus, peripherals, synchronous analysis, lexico-semantic classification, structural classification, historical-genetic formation 1.

  • Linguistics Conference for Phd Students
    17. Sprachwissenschaftliche Tagung für Promotionsstudierende 17th Linguistics Conference for PhD Students Universität Freiburg 23 & 24 April, 2021 At STaPs, we aim to always be inclusive. We recognise that this is not always done explicitly in written materials, especially in German. Despite our original wishes, we were also unfortunately unable to offer further measures improving accessibility, dueto our lack of a budget. We encourage further feedback about how STaPs can be made more inclusive at any time. Wir möchten auf der STaPs inklusive und gendergerechte Sprache verwenden, und verwenden deshalb wo möglich den Gender-Doppelpunkt. An Stellen, an denen uns das nicht möglich war, adressieren wir trotzdem alle Personen, unabhängig von ihrem Ge- schlecht. Da wir die STaPs mit einem Zero-Budget organisieren, können wir leider nicht immer so inklusiv sein, wie wir es uns wünschen, beispielsweise in Bezug auf Gebärden- sprache. Wir freuen uns über euer Feedback für eine bessere Umsetzung bei der nächsten STaPs! ii Welcome Address | Willkommen Welcome to the 17th STaPs! We are so glad to be hosting this meeting, which provides PhD students from all over the world an opportunity to discuss their research and to network. STaPs is a twice yearly conference organised by PhD students for PhD students and is supported by the Verein Junge Sprachwissenschaft (Association of Young Linguists). STaPs offers PhD students the opportunity to share methodological challenges of their thesis and to receive extensive and constructive feedback from their peers in a safe en- vironment.
