  • The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics Represents an Inflection Point for Russia, a Test of How the Nation Handles Many Challenges Both Domestically and Abroad
    AVAILABLE FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics represents an inflection point for Russia, a test of how the nation handles many challenges both domestically and abroad. The Olympic Games will test the ability of the leaders of the country and its citizens to provide adequate answers to these challenges. ABOUT RUSSIA DIRECT: Russia Direct is an international analytical outlet of Russia Beyond The Headlines launched in June of 2013. The website, russia-direct.org, features articles, white pa- pers and monthly memos that provide the kind of nuanced understanding required by those with a deep involvement and interest in Russia-U.S. relations and Russian foreign policy. Russia Direct is fast becoming the pre-eminent forum for high-level policy mak- ers, experts, international observers and business leaders from the U.S., Russia and other countries. Long-term, the goal of the project is to improve multilateral relations at the interpersonal, interagency and intergovernmental levels. sia-U.S. cooperation in the nuclear energy COMING UP IN FEBRUARY sphere. The big question now is what will come in place of the agreement. The Russia Direct Quarterly report will outline the history of the HEU Purchase Agreement and will give an assessment of the results in the format of a round- table discussion where Russian and inter- national experts will share their views. The report will also examine the unique- ness of the project and show how the disarmament process can use commer- cial mechanisms. It will conclude with a AFP/EAST NEWS AFP/EAST discussion exploring various perspectives of the future of Russia-U.S.

  • The Russian State Duma , On-Stage and Off: Inquiry, Impeachment , and Opposition
    The Russian State Duma , On-Stage and Off: Inquiry, Impeachment , and Opposition MARTHA MERRITT L egislatures in mixed regimes the world over are often less popular than pres- identa, dismissed as "talking shops" while executive power lays claim to active and decisive leadership.l This tendency is clear in Russia's relatively new political institutions, with the State Duma rated in December 1999 as the Ieast trusted organ of government.z Both reflecting and helping to consolidate this atti- tude, the harsh national media routinely belittle the Duma: Deputies are said to "scurry like cockroaches" as they register electronic votes for themselves and their absent colleagues during the allotted fifteen-second period, the television news describes deputies as "babbling" while reporters discuss crises as yet unad- dressed, and during election periods television talk shows run polis to ask view- ers whether the country needs a national legislature at all. Not surprisingly, those who choose to telephone in this most unrepresentative of surveys defeat scattered support and record thousands of antiparliament "votes" Duma-bashing is something of a national sport in Russia, but it was also a use- ful resource for executive power as exercised by President Yeltsin. Although some commentators predicted a dramatic lessening of tension between Yeltsin's suc- cessor and the Duma after the relatively pro-government parliamentary elections of December 1999,3 the very majority that they had anticipated led to a dramat- ic walk-out of minority parties in early 2000 when the two largest legislative blocs, the Communists and Unity, found common ground in dividing committee chairperson positions.

A common (but not universal) feature of these languages is the use of verb morphology (in various ways) to express focus. What is most remarkable in several Atlantic languages (and apparently specific to this group) is that (1) verb forms indicate the syntactic status of the focused constituent; (2) these verb forms often merge focus, aspect, and voice features.

  • 1 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview of the West Atlantic Languages As Wolof Has Not Been Widely Studied in the Generative Trad
    Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview of the West Atlantic Languages As Wolof has not been widely studied in the generative tradition, this section will serve to situate it in phyletic and geographic context. Wolof is a member of the Atlantic (or “West Atlantic”) sub-branch of the Niger-Congo family. Although classification schemes differ, it is generally agreed that the Atlantic subfamily represents one of the earliest branchings within the Niger-Congo phylum (Greenberg 1963, Ruhlen 1991, Heine and Nurse 2000). In fact, as a group, the Atlantic languages are unfortunately largely understudied. With the exception of Fula, linguistic materials on the Atlantic languages are typically scarce and scattered. These range from descriptions and traditional traditional grammars to pedagogical works, word lists, and dictionaries. Within the descriptive tradition, detailed linguistic works and grammars have been written for Fula (Sylla 1992), Kissi (Childs 1995), and Noon (Soukka 2000), for example. The most widely studied Atlantic language is Fula, which has a descriptive literature and a fair number of analytical works. Note though, that it has been the phonological system of Fula that has attracted the attention of most scholars. After Fula, the number of analytical and descriptive works drops precipitously. Even Wolof, one of the national languages of Senegal, has been little investigated overall. Within the literature on Wolof, it has been the phonological system that has been the center of study, especially vowel harmony (Ka 1989, Ndiaye 1995, Sy 2003).1 Descriptive works on Wolof include Diagne 1971, Mangold 1977, Church 1981, Dialo 1981, and Ka 1981. The only extensive analytical treatments of Wolof syntax are Njie 1981 and Dunigan 1994.2 Wolof is a member of the Senegambian group of the Northern branch in Atlantic.

  • Hoofdstuk 1: De Negentiende Eeuw
    24 Hoofdstuk 1: De Negentiende eeuw Eeuwen drongen eeuwen voor zich henen, En hoe menig hecht en trotsch gevaart Is er in dien maalstroom niet verdwenen, Waar ook zelfs geen spoor van werd bewaard.41 1.0 INLEIDING Een kentering De oppervlakte van Twenthe bestaat voor het grootste deel uit onafoogbare heidevelden, door oasen van be- bouwde akkers of hoog geboomte afgebroken. Niet dan door vlijt, die eeuwig sleepte en zwoegde, kon de bevol- king aan dezen ondankbaren bodem een sober bestaan ontwringen, zoo dat taai geduld, een langzaam wikkend overleg, spaarzaamheid en een ijzerhard ligchaam zich door de aarde zelve, welke zij betrad, in haar ontwikkelen moest. Verschillende oorzaken liepen er dus zamen, die de aangroeijende beschaving in het overige gedeelte der vrije Nederlanden, hier voormaals tegenhielden. De moeite om aan het brood te komen verbood de massa, om aan eenige beschaving, altijd de dochter van overvloed en gemak, te denken. Aldus beschreef de Friese taalgeleerde en predikant te Deventer Joost Hiddes Halbertsma het oostelijk deel van de voormalige drieguldensprovincie in de Overijsselsche Almanak voor Oudheid en Letteren (OA) in 1837.42 Willem de Clercq (1795-1844) die van 1812 tot 1835 dikwijls Almelo bezocht, had al in zijn dagboek geschreven: “Het is hier een materieel land en ik droom van niet als van weefspoelen en calicots”. Wellicht overdreef hij wat, want hij verhaalde in zijn dagboeken ook van de vermaken na pleziertochtjes. Men uitte zich dan in proza en poëzie en in teken- en schilder- kunst.43 Maar toch. Twente werd niet voor niets wel de Overijsselse Achterhoek genoemd.

Helfer My dissertation examines selected German and Danish literary texts of the late nineteenth century that employ ideological notions of nationalism for the purpose of constructing and stabilizing national identity. The groundwork for the research centers on specific times in nationalist movements in Europe and a specific setting on the border region of Schleswig-Holstein. The urgency of this project lies especially in the effort to understand the shifting qualities and perceptions of nationalism as both a destructive and productive force in current discourses of globalization. In my analysis of four literary narratives, Theodor Storm’s novellas Ein grünes Blatt (1850) and Abseits (1863), Theodor Fontane’s Unwiederbringlich (1891), and Herman Bang’s Tine (1889), I demonstrate how national identity is constructed on the basis of a firm nationalism and constantly destabilized when confronted with the presence ii of an Other by the border.
