The original marks on a tally can be thought of as the very first digital carvings in wood, being similar to bits in a present-day computer language word. The emergence of computers enabled the development of mathematical methods for pro- cessing large volumes of text. The mathematical engineering approach of the 80s, howev- er, does not fit into the psychology of language and doesn’t solve problems that are inher- ent in a language. In other words: the nature and complexity of language were not includ- ed in the work done by the mathematicians and engineers. Consequently, the mechanical approach didn’t solve the basic problems encountered in hyphenation and spell checking. The diversity and nature of languages force us to reconsider the way technology is set up. All languages have their roots and linguistic family relations in the distant past. Scientists have proposed hypotheses about the earliest emergence of speech, but the re- al origins of speech can not be established. Factual knowledge about languages dates back to about 5000 or 6000 years ago. Early hypotheses assumed an onomatopoetic root as (wo)men tried to imitate animal sounds. Other hypotheses assume that speech has its origins in the expression of emo- tions or in the communication needed during cooperative efforts (labour). Some theories assume an underlying application of rules of generative innate grammar. More recently, the semantic factor of language has been emphasized. The structure of words doesn’t seem to be just the result of a chaotic process, but it also doesn’t seem to be just the re- sult of the application of certain rules. This dominant semantic factor, a trace of meaning, has guided us in the construction of tools for processing written language. The basic elements of meaning have been used to find the smallest building blocks of meaning that help to decide where to hyphenate. These building blocks vastly improve hyphenation as well as spelling. They are applied in a set of tools described in the first chapter of this book. This book is intended to provide a better view of language. It reviews the different hyphen- ations in different languages as well as the relations between families of languages and the origins of languages. When our ancestors, about 1500 generations ago, came up with names for man (*manu- in Proto-Indo-European) and for family members, and later on started riding horses, in- vented the wheel, and built fortified elevated places (referred to in word combinations con- taining bhergh-), all of these activities and subjects were given names. These ancient roots are still present in current languages despite the fact that through the ages langua- ges have continuously been subject to changes. Development of relevant, practical and successful language technology requires the – knowledge and understanding that a company like *TALO has of the evolution and peculi- arities of many individual languages. J.C.Woestenburg, PhD, Bussum, 28 September 2006 *TALO–’s Language Technology (c) TALO Bsm – Who is *TALO? – *TALO is a Netherlands-based software company, specializing in the develop- ment of language modules. We conceived, designed, and developed the *TA- – LO hyphenation system from a psychological, cognitive, and language perspec- tive. The system is based on a unified structure for syllabification, that works in every alphabetical language. Our first product was called the “Dutch hyphena- tor”, and was integrated into the Dutch version of WordPerfect in 1986. Our next step was building a software generator to create hyphenators for other lan- guages. The creation of hyphenator modules was followed by the development of spelling modules, based on the same language principles. The development of a hyphenator begins with the thorough research into the language involved, followed by the action of the powerful generator. The reliabili- ty of the hyphenator depends on the quality of the research. In a short period of time, determined by the complexity of a language, the generator completes the creation of the hyphenator. The fundamental language model based on morpho- logical principles produces reliable hyphenations. The mechanism of the hy- phenator is a process of pattern recognition, based on the psychology of the working brain, and reacts instantaneously. Information is available in a very short time. The combination of this mechanism and the language model results in the hyphenator’s high speed. The hyphenators are currently comparable to the end state of a neural network. The hyphenators follow the rules and exceptions of hyphenation governed by leading academies. They internally take care of every peculiarity of a language. They correctly hyphenate new words and even complex compounds. – The *TALO speller/correctors are conceptually different from other ‘spellers’. The morphological principles applied to their mechanism stem from our vast ex- perience with hyphenators. Reliability is ensured by the principle of fuzzy dis- tance: an alternative is presented that really resembles the misspelled word, in- cluding reversals (e.g. the instead of the) and missing (initial) letters.

  • Germanic Languages an Overview
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-42186-7 — The Cambridge Handbook of Germanic Linguistics Edited by Michael T. Putnam , B. Richard Page Excerpt More Information Germanic Languages An Overview B. Richard Page and Michael T. Putnam I.1 Introduction The Germanic languages include some of the world’s most widely spoken and thoroughly researched languages. English has become a global lan- guage that serves as a lingua franca in many parts of the world and has an estimated 1.12 billon speakers (Simons and Fennig 2018). German, Dutch, Icelandic, Swedish, and Norwegian have also been studied and described extensively from both diachronic and synchronic perspectives. In addition to the standard varieties of these languages, there are available descrip- tions of many nonstandard varieties as well as of regional and minority languages, such as Frisian and Low German. There are several possibilities to consider when putting together a handbook of a language family. One would be to have a chapter devoted to each language, as in Ko¨nig and Auwera (1993). This would require the choice of which languages to include and would make cross-linguistic comparisons difficult. In the alternative, one could take a thematic, comparative approach and exam- ine different aspects of the Germanic languages, such as morphology or syntax, as in Harbert (2007). We have chosen the latter approach for this handbook. The advantage of such an approach is that it gives the contri- butors in the volume an opportunity to compare and contrast the broad range of empirical phenomena found across the Germanic languages that have been documented in the literature.

  • The Icelandic Language at the Time of the Reformation: Some Reflections on Translations, Language and Foreign Influences
    THE ICELANDIC LANGUAGE AT THE TIME OF THE REFORMATION: SOME REFLECTIONS ON TRANSLATIONS, LANGUAGE AND FOREIGN INFLUENCES Veturliði Óskarsson (Uppsala University) Abstract The process of the Reformation in Iceland in its narrow sense is framed by the publication of the New Testament in 1540 and the whole Bible in 1584. It is sometimes believed that Icelandic language would have changed more than what it has, if these translations had not seen the day. During the 16th century, in all 51 books in Icelandic were printed. Almost all are translations, mostly from German. These books contain many loanwords, chiefly of German origin. These words are often a direct result of the Reformation, but some of them are considerably older. As an example, words with the German prefix be- were discussed to some length in the article. Some loanwords from the 16th century have lived on to our time, but many were either wiped out in the Icelandic language purism of the nineteenth and twentieth century, or never became an integrated part of the language, outside of religious and official texts. Some words even only show up in one or two books of the 16th century. The impact of the Reformation on the future development of the Icelandic language, other than a temporary one on the lexicon was limited, and influence on the (spoken) language of common people was probably little. Keywords The Icelandic Reformation, printed books, the New Testament, the Bible, loanwords, the German prefix be-. Introduction The Reformation in Iceland is dated to the year 1550, when the last Catholic bishop in Iceland, Jón Arason of the Hólar diocese in Northern Iceland, was executed.

READING DEVELOPMENT IN TWO ALPHABETIC SYSTEMS DIFFERING IN ORTHOGRAPHIC CONSISTENCY: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF FRENCH-SPEAKING CHILDREN ENROLLED IN A DUTCH IMMERSION PROGRAM Katia LECOCQ, Régine KOLINSKY, Vincent GOETRY, José MORAIS, Jesus ALEGRIA, & Philippe MOUSTY Université Libre de Bruxelles Studies examining reading development in bilinguals have led to conflicting conclusions regarding the language in which reading development should take place first. Whereas some studies suggest that reading instruction should take place in the most proficient language first, other studies suggest that reading acquisition should take place in the most consistent orthographic system first. The present study examined two research questions: (1) the relative impact of oral proficiency and orthographic transparency in second-language reading acquisition, and (2) the influence of reading acquisition in one language on the development of reading skills in the other language. To examine these questions, we compared reading development in French- native children attending a Dutch immersion program and learning to read either in Dutch first (most consistent orthography) or in French first (least consistent orthography but native language). Following a longitudinal design, the data were gathered over different sessions spanning from Grade 1 to Grade 3. The children in immersion were presented with a series of experi- mental and standardised tasks examining their levels of oral proficiency as well as their reading abilities in their first and, subsequently in their second, languages of reading instruction. Their performances were compared to the ones of French and Dutch monolinguals. The results showed that by the end of Grade 2, the children instructed to read in Dutch first read in both languages as well as their monolingual peers.

  • THE FUTURE of the BANTU LANGUAGES by W
    THE FUTURE OF THE BANTU LANGUAGES By W. B. LOCKWOOD T^HE Freedom Charter adopted by the Congress of the People at Kliptown, Johannesburg, contains the demand that "All people shall have equal right to use their own languages." Of latef this question of language has been very much to the fore in South Africa, where it has been discussed in the progressive press and elsewhere, and very different views have been expressed. Recently, D. T. Cole, a lecturer in Bantu languages at the Wit- watersrand University, wrote an article in Forum (Vol. 3, No. 2) dealing with the problem of the exceptional linguistic diversity in South Africa. His article is symptomatic of the confusion in the minds of many people, including well-wishers of the African, and it will not be out of place to consider his opinions. Cole envisages for the Bantu languages a policy of linguistic unifica­ tion which in the distant future might lead to the creation of two major Bantu languages. These two could then be "offered" official status which, says Cole, is out of the question for any Bantu language, at the moment. Cole is led to this view by his general conception of the Bantu languages: "It is not an economic proposition, from any point of view, to maintain our seven literary Bantu forms as separate languages, nor to offer them anything like the status of English or Afrikaans ... In addition . there are numerous lesser languages . whose small populations do not warrant (literary) development." For these patronis­ ing assumptions Cole does not, however, advance any evidence.

The request to create the code [ovd] Ӧvdalian has been reevaluated, based on additional information from the original requesters and extensive discussion from outside parties on the IETF list. The additional information has strengthened the case and changed the decision of the Registration Authority to accept the code request. In particular, the long bibliography submitted shows that Ӧvdalian has undergone significant language development, and now has close to 50 publications. In addition, it has been studied extensively, and the academic works should have a distinct code to distinguish them from publications on Swedish. One revision being added by the Registration Authority is the added English name “Elfdalian” which was used in most of the extensive discussion on the IETF list. Michael Everson [email protected] May 4, 2016 This is an appeal by the group responsible for the IETF language subtags to the ISO 639 RA to reconsider and revert their earlier decision and to assign an ISO 639-3 language code to Elfdalian. The undersigned members of the group responsible for the IETF language subtag are concerned about the rejection of the Elfdalian language. There is no doubt that its linguistic features are unique in the continuum of North Germanic languages.
