How Missionaries Applied Portuguese and Latin Descriptive Categories In
Muru, C. (2021). How missionaries applied Portuguese and Latin descriptive Journal of categories in the classification and explanation of verb conjugations and paired Portuguese Linguistics verbs of Tamil. Journal of Portuguese Linguistics, 20: 8, pp. 1–32. DOI: h t t ps :// doi.org/10.5334/jpl.268 RESEARCH PAPER How missionaries applied Portuguese and Latin descriptive categories in the classification and explanation of verb conjugations and paired verbs of Tamil Cristina Muru University of Tuscia, IT [email protected] Tamil verb stems may be inclusive of a voice morpheme that encodes the degree of agency of the verb. Hence, using Paramasivam’s (1979) terminology, these kinds of verbs are paired verbs of which one is the affective and the other its effective counterpart. In the former, the action expressed by the verb is realised by an agent and affects a patient, whereas in the latter the consequences of the action fall on the subject who realises the action. This paper intends to analyse how missionaries described the verb system of Tamil which differed substantially from their own model of reference (Latin and Portuguese), and how they understood paired verbs, as defined above. As such, taking into account the Western sources that missionaries used to compose and organise their descriptions, this paper focuses on both verb conjugations and paired verbs in Tamil. It also demonstrates how the Latin grammatical framework was applied for the description of Tamil verbs and discusses the Indian grammatical sources available to missionaries. Given that the present classification of Tamil verbs is based on the one offered by a missionary, Karl Friedrich Leberecht Graul (1814–1864), this study highlights how earlier missionaries’ descriptions contributed to the current classification. -

History of the Portuguese Music: an Overview
HISTORY OF THE PORTUGUESE MUSIC: AN OVERVIEW Rui César Vilão Physics Department, University of Coimbra, PORTUGAL Abstract A brief overview of the history of the Portuguese music is given. In memoriam José Carlos Travassos Cortez 1. PREVIOUS REMARKS Presenting a communication on such a vast field as the subject of this work is usually a task for specialists. Only these are able to smoothly draw a global and coherent picture of their field of study. So, if you are not a specialist (even if you have a deep interest for the field) and you occupy your days working in an entirely different subject (say the physics of muonium states in semiconductors), you are surely in trouble! There are two possible solutions for this dilemma: a) ask a specialist and b) do it à la Newton (even if you're not one), climbing in the shoulders of giants. The mountaineering option was adopted here, and four giants helped me in viewing higher: Rui Vieira Nery and Paulo Ferreira de Castro with their História da Música [1], João de Freitas Branco with his História da Música Portuguesa [2] and José Carlos Travassos Cortez with his passioned and illuminating lessons on the history of Portuguese music that I was lucky to attend in the Conservatório de Musica de Coimbra [3]. I am very pleased to dedicate this work to his memory. Apart from Refs. [1-3], which are available in Portuguese only, all the other references are relative to introductory notes of compact-discs and are generally available in English as well. Of course these discographic indications are not extensive, but I believe they constitute a basis (surely not the only one!) for a good start in Portuguese-specialized melomania. -

American Settings for François De Belleforest's Tragic Histories
Framing the Early Modern French Best Seller: American Settings for François de Belleforest’sTragicHistories HERVÉ-THOMAS CAMPANGNE, University of Maryland, College Park This article shows how François de Belleforest (1530–83) adapted a variety of historical and geo- graphical sources to meet the demands of the histoire tragique genre in composing three narratives set in the Americas. One recounts the destiny of conquistador Francisco Pizarro; another is the story of Marguerite de Roberval, who was allegedly marooned on a Canadian island; the third concerns Taino cacique Enriquillo’s heroic rebellion in 1520s Hispaniola. These narratives fostered a tragic im- age of the Americas that had a considerable influence on early modern readers, inviting them to ponder essential questions about European encounters with the American continent and its inhabitants. INTRODUCTION IN THE PRELIMINARY epistle to his famous anthology of Histoires tragiques (Tragic histories, 1559), a compilation of six narratives borrowed from Matteo Bandello’s (ca. 1485–1561) Novelle (1554), French author Pierre Boaistuau (1517–66) thanked his collaborator François de Belleforest (1530–83) for his work on a translation that “would probably not have been published without his help.”1 Boaistuau also announced the imminent publication of Belleforest’s Continuation des Histoires tragiques (1559),2 which would mark the beginning of one of the most successful literary collections in late sixteenth-century France and Europe. Between 1559 and 1582, Belleforest published five volumes of histoires tragiques,compris- ing ninety-eight stories of passion, murder, and revenge that were reissued sev- eral times by printers in Paris, Lyon, Rouen, and Torino. These early modern best I would like to thank those who helped me improve this article, especially the two anonymous read- ers at RQ, and my University of Maryland colleague Lauretta Clough. -

How Different Parameters Affect the Downlink Speed
Linköping University | IDA Bachelor Thesis | Computer and Information Science Spring 2016| LIU-IDA/LITH-EX-G—16/071--SE How Different Parameters Affect the Downlink Speed Martin Claesson Lovisa Edholm Handledare/Tutor, Niklas Carlsson Examinator, Nahid Shahmehri Abstract Today many societies rely on fast mobile networks, and the future seem to place even larger demand on the networks performance. This thesis analyzes which parameters af- fects the downlink speed of mobile networks. Various statistical analyses are performed on a large dataset provided by Bredbandskollen. We find that parameters such as the in- ternet service provider, the type of phone, the time of day and the density of population affect the downlink speed. We also find that the downlink speeds are significantly higher in urban areas compared to more rural regions. Acknowledgments Thanks to Rickard Dahlstrand at .SE for sharing the Bredbandskollen dataset, without the dataset this study would not have been possible. Thanks to our supervisor Niklas Carlsson for all the great guidance in this project. We would also like to thank our Tim Lestander and Jakob Nilsson for proof reading our thesis as well as providing us with helpful feedback during the process. iii Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgments iii Contents iv List of Figures v List of Tables vi 1 Introduction 2 1.1 Contributions . 3 1.2 Thesis outline . 4 2 Related Work 5 3 Method 6 3.1 The dataset . 6 3.2 Linear regression . 7 4 Results 9 4.1 Urban and rural areas . 9 4.2 Phones and tablets . 10 4.3 Time of day . -
The Portuguese Art of War in Northern Morocco During the 15 Century
Athens Journal of History - Volume 3, Issue 4 – Pages 321-336 The Portuguese Art of War in Northern Morocco during the 15th Century By Vitor Luís Gaspar Rodrigues This paper not only reviews the motives underlying the Portuguese expansionist project in Morocco in the 15th century, but also the political, economic, and particularly the social reasons that were in the basis of the Portuguese art of war in Morocco in that period. During the Iberian Reconquest (Reconquista), warfare was usually practiced by means of cavalcades, raids (razias) and ambushes, alongside with some siege actions. We will try to demonstrate that the Portuguese were forced to adopt a model of restricted territorial occupation and repeat the same technics and tactics of combat in Morocco, chiefly based on guerrilla war (guerra guerreada), as well as on siege and privateering actions, either offshore or onshore, by means of amphibian landings (saltos). We will also approach some of the changes that occurred in the defence systems of the Portuguese strongholds in North Africa, particularly at the turn of the 15th to the 16th centuries, as a result of the need to respond to the new challenges by the Moroccan armies equipped with fire weaponry. Keywords: Guerrilla war; maritime war; Northern Morocco; strongholds; siege war; fire weaponry. Portuguese Expansion in Morocco in the 15th Century: Main Causes The expansion project to Morocco by the Christian kingdoms from Iberia goes back to late 13th century, as attested by the Treaty of Soria, of 1291, signed by the monarchs of Castile and Aragon, which defined the areas to be occupied in the future by both kingdoms in North Africa, leaving the territorial stripe in the west of Ceuta to Portugal. -
FROM the PORTOLAN CHART to the LATITUDE CHART the Silent Cartographic Revolution
FROM THE PORTOLAN CHART TO THE LATITUDE CHART The silent cartographic revolution by Joaquim Alves Gaspar Centro Interuniversitário de História das Ciências e da Tecnologia Pólo Universidade de Lisboa faculdade de Ciências Campo Grande 1759-016 Lisboa Portugal [email protected] This paper explains how, following the introduction of astronomical navigation, the transition between the por - tolan-type chart of the mediterranean and the latitude chart of the Atlantic was facilitated by the small values of the magnetic declination occurring in western Europe during the Renaissance. The results of two prelimi - nary cartometric studies of a sample of charts of the sixteenth century are presented, focused on the latitude accuracy in the representation of northern Europe and on the evolution of the longitudinal width of the mediterranean and Africa. Cet article explique comment, après l’apparition de la navigation astronomique, la transition entre la carte- portulan caractéristique de la méditerranée et la carte avec latitude de l’océan Atlantique a été facilitée par la faiblesse de la déclinaison magnétique en Europe occidentale, à la Renaissance. Les résultats de deux études cartographiques antérieures sont appliqués à un échantillon de cartes du XVI e siècle, en centrant le propos sur la précision des latitudes des pays de l’Europe de nord et sur l’étendue longitudinale de la méditerranée et de l’Afrique. 1 Introduction respect: that it was much easier to go than to come back, due to the action of those same elements.

CHAPTER TWELVE JESUIT SCHOOLS AND MISSIONS IN THE ORIENT 1 MARIA DE DEUS MANSO AND LEONOR DIAZ DE SEABRA View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Missions in India brought to you by CORE provided by Repositório Científico da Universidade de Évora The Northern Province: Goa 2 On 27 th February 1540, the Papal Bull Regimini Militantis Eclesiae established the official institution of The Society of Jesus, centred on Ignacio de Loyola. Its creation marked the beginning of a new Order that would accomplish its apostolic mission through education and evangelisation. The Society’s first apostolic activity was in service of the Portuguese Crown. Thus, Jesuits became involved within the missionary structure of the Portuguese Patronage and ended up preaching massively across non-European spaces and societies. Jesuits achieved one of the greatest polarizations and novelties of their charisma and religious order precisely in those ultramarine lands obtained by Iberian conquest and treatises 3. Among other places, Jesuits were active in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan and China. Their work gave birth to a new concept of mission, one which, underlying the Society’s original evangelic impulses, started to be organised around a dynamic conception of “spiritual conquest” aimed at converting to the Roman Catholic faith all those who “simply” ignored or had strayed from Church doctrines. In India, Jesuits created the Northern (Goa) and the Southern (Malabar) Provinces. One of their characteristics was the construction of buildings, which served as the Mission’s headquarters and where teaching was carried out. Even though we have a new concept of college nowadays, this was not a place for schooling or training, but a place whose function was broader than the one we attribute today. -

MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PEARL FISHERY COAST WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THOOTHUKUDI THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE MANONMANIAM SUNDARANAR UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HISTORY By Sr. S. DECKLA (Reg. No. 1090) DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY MANONMANIAM SUNDARANAR UNIVERSITY TIRUNELVELI OCTOBER 2004 13 INDEX INTRODUCTION CHAPTER ONE CHAPTER TWO CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER FOUR CHAPTER FIVE CONCLUSION BIBLIOGRAPHY 14 INTRODUCTION Different concepts have been employed by historians in different times to have a comprehensive view of the past. We are familiar with political history, social history, economic history and administrative history. Maritime history is yet another concept, which has been gaining momentum and currency these days. It (maritime history) has become a tool in the hands of several Indian historians who are interested in Indo- Portuguese history. The study of maritime history enables these researchers to come closer to the crucial dynamics of historical process. Maritime history embraces many aspects of history, such as international politics, navigation, oceanic currents, maritime transportation, coastal society, development of ports and port-towns, sea-borne trade and commerce, port-hinterland relations and so on1. As far as India and the Indian Ocean regions are concerned, maritime studies have a great relevance in the exchange of culture, establishment of political power, the dynamics of society, trade and commerce and religion of these areas. The Indian Ocean served not only as a conduit for conducting trade and commerce, but also served and still serves, as an important means of communication. The Indians have carried commodities to several Asian and African countries even before the arrival of the Europeans from India.
