  • Unicode Request for Cyrillic Modifier Letters Superscript Modifiers
    Unicode request for Cyrillic modifier letters L2/21-107 Kirk Miller, [email protected] 2021 June 07 This is a request for spacing superscript and subscript Cyrillic characters. It has been favorably reviewed by Sebastian Kempgen (University of Bamberg) and others at the Commission for Computer Supported Processing of Medieval Slavonic Manuscripts and Early Printed Books. Cyrillic-based phonetic transcription uses superscript modifier letters in a manner analogous to the IPA. This convention is widespread, found in both academic publication and standard dictionaries. Transcription of pronunciations into Cyrillic is the norm for monolingual dictionaries, and Cyrillic rather than IPA is often found in linguistic descriptions as well, as seen in the illustrations below for Slavic dialectology, Yugur (Yellow Uyghur) and Evenki. The Great Russian Encyclopedia states that Cyrillic notation is more common in Russian studies than is IPA (‘Transkripcija’, Bol’šaja rossijskaja ènciplopedija, Russian Ministry of Culture, 2005–2019). Unicode currently encodes only three modifier Cyrillic letters: U+A69C ⟨ꚜ⟩ and U+A69D ⟨ꚝ⟩, intended for descriptions of Baltic languages in Latin script but ubiquitous for Slavic languages in Cyrillic script, and U+1D78 ⟨ᵸ⟩, used for nasalized vowels, for example in descriptions of Chechen. The requested spacing modifier letters cannot be substituted by the encoded combining diacritics because (a) some authors contrast them, and (b) they themselves need to be able to take combining diacritics, including diacritics that go under the modifier letter, as in ⟨ᶟ̭̈⟩BA . (See next section and e.g. Figure 18. ) In addition, some linguists make a distinction between spacing superscript letters, used for phonetic detail as in the IPA tradition, and spacing subscript letters, used to denote phonological concepts such as archiphonemes.

  • Language Specific Peculiarities Document for Halh Mongolian As Spoken in MONGOLIA
    Language Specific Peculiarities Document for Halh Mongolian as Spoken in MONGOLIA Halh Mongolian, also known as Khalkha (or Xalxa) Mongolian, is a Mongolic language spoken in Mongolia. It has approximately 3 million speakers. 1. Special handling of dialects There are several Mongolic languages or dialects which are mutually intelligible. These include Chakhar and Ordos Mongol, both spoken in the Inner Mongolia region of China. Their status as separate languages is a matter of dispute (Rybatzki 2003). Halh Mongolian is the only Mongolian dialect spoken by the ethnic Mongolian majority in Mongolia. Mongolian speakers from outside Mongolia were not included in this data collection; only Halh Mongolian was collected. 2. Deviation from native-speaker principle No deviation, only native speakers of Halh Mongolian in Mongolia were collected. 3. Special handling of spelling None. 4. Description of character set used for orthographic transcription Mongolian has historically been written in a large variety of scripts. A Latin alphabet was introduced in 1941, but is no longer current (Grenoble, 2003). Today, the classic Mongolian script is still used in Inner Mongolia, but the official standard spelling of Halh Mongolian uses Mongolian Cyrillic. This is also the script used for all educational purposes in Mongolia, and therefore the script which was used for this project. It consists of the standard Cyrillic range (Ux0410-Ux044F, Ux0401, and Ux0451) plus two extra characters, Ux04E8/Ux04E9 and Ux04AE/Ux04AF (see also the table in Section 5.1). 5. Description of Romanization scheme The table in Section 5.1 shows Appen's Mongolian Romanization scheme, which is fully reversible.

  • 1 Is Selective Attrition Possible in Russian-English Bilinguals? This
    Is Selective Attrition Possible in Russian-English Bilinguals? Elena Zaretsky*, Eva G. Bar-Shalom** *University of Massachusetts Amherst, **University of Connecticut, Storrs 1. Introduction This paper reports the results of the study that investigates the language output in L1 (Russian) in a group of Russian-English speaking adults and children. Specifically, it addresses the issue of attrition. By including two groups of subjects, we examined the interaction between the length of uninterrupted exposure to L1, the use of L1 in everyday situation, and the ability to produce correct grammatical structures in L1. The between group comparison was also prompted by the previous notion that adults may undergo less attrition than children (Pallier, 2006). The focus of this particular study is on the assessment of correct production of aspectual forms, as well as other forms of Russian morphosyntax, through the use of two different tasks: the elicited narrative on a picture story book and a Grammaticality Judgment task. The goal of this study was to examine if there is equal loss of all language-specific morphosyntactic structures, including the possibility of aspectual restructuring. Prior research on attrition of L1 Russian in Russian-English bilingual speakers concentrated on the issue of aspectual restructuring, i.e. lexicalization of aspect (Pereltsvaig, 2002). Case marking, lexical and agreement errors were also reported (Polinsky, 2005, Pereltsvaig, in press) in speech production of individuals who continue to use L1 Russian as part of their social interaction. This particular variety of Russian is known as ‘American Russian’ (e.g., Polinsky, 2005, Pereltsvaig, 2002 and in press) and is severely reduced in all aspects of Russian morphosyntax.

  • Speech by Federal President Frank Walter Steinmeier at the New Year Reception for the Diplomatic Corps in Schloss Bellevue on 14 January 2019
    The speech online: www.bundespraesident.de page 1 to 3 Speech by Federal President Frank Walter Steinmeier at the New Year reception for the Diplomatic Corps in Schloss Bellevue on 14 January 2019 How wonderful it is to see you all again! Last June, we visited the Hanseatic City of Bremen together. We sat beneath metre-long models of ships, traced the footsteps of Elvis Presley, and walked from the South Sea to the North Pole in the Klimahaus within the space of just one hour. And we also watched football together. Ambassador Jong, we were party to a nail-biting 90 minutes, and even a bit longer if I add the extra time. In the end, the South Korean team won deservedly. And this is football we’re talking about! In handball, the opposite was the case at the opening of the World Cup. Germany won against the joint team for North and South Korea. That’s how the pebble rocks in sport. There can only ever be one winner in what is a classic zero-sum game. One team wins, the other loses. This is all very well if the outcome is sporting fairness. Such fairness seems increasingly to be falling by the wayside in international relations, however. When I read reports about international summits, then this zero-sum logic of “every man for himself” or, even worse, “everyone against everyone else” has gained in traction. The belief that cooperation and clearly defined rules stand to benefit all those involved is being called into question ever more openly.

  • David Fallows Lnfluences on Josquin
    David Fallows lnfluences on Josquin Five hundred years ago Ottaviano Petrucci published a book with the simple title Misse Josquin. That may be the first such Statement of auctoritas in music. Earlier monographic volumes were devoted to the work of Guillaume de Ma- chaut and Adam de la Halle, for example, but these were part of a literary tradi- tion, containing primarily poetry: there are many manuscript books devoted to the work of a single poet or literary figure, reaching back hundreds of years before Petrucci's Misse ]osquin. But there is almost no evidence of such books in music before September 1502. One could say the same about the history of ascriptions in music. Before about 1400 any such ascriptions in the musical sources are again within a lite- rary tradition - for exan1ple in the troubadour and trouvere manuscripts - and may in most cases acrually concern the poet rather than the composer. Then in the first decade of the fifteenth century there are guite suddenly a lot of manu- scripts of polyphony that give the composers' names: the Chantilly Codex (F- CH, MS 564), the main Trecento manuscripts, the Mancini Codex (I-La, MS 184), and so on. So the very habit of musical ascription was only about a hundred years old when Petrucci published that book devoted for the first time to the work of a single composer. And it is easy to go on from there and agree that there was a good reason why Petrucci featured a single composer: like so many music pub- lishers after him he knew that one of the easiest ways of selling a book was to seil the author, to seil, in fact, by auctoritas.
