  • Scandinavian Word Phonology: Evidence for a Typological Cycle
    Kurt Braunmüller (Hamburg University): Scandinavian word phonology: evidence for a typological cycle 1. The Germanic languages: phonological principles and drift (a) Grimm‟s and Verner‟s Law, (b) consequent placement of stress on the first sylla- ble of a word, (c) subsequent reduction of vowels in unstressed syllables (cf. Gothic /i, a, u/ or Faroese /e [< ], a/) but there are also languages with schwa (/ë/) or apocope: //. Drift: (1) Dominance of monosyllabic words with complex consonant clusters in the coda, (2) this could give rise to the origin of (simple) tone languages (e.g. in SE Jutish, cf. Braunmüller 1995b/[1987]), in Low German and some Norwegian dialects), and (3) apocope and/or schwa (quite typical for many modern Germanic languages). 2. Intervening factors In the Scandinavian languages: (I) Emergence of (new) clitics, both in the nominal and the verbal part of grammar, (II) language contact (vowel harmony, new word formation elements), (III) language cultivation and language planning; moreover: com- plex consonant (C) clusters: in the onset (1–3 Cs), in the coda (with a max. of 5 Cs). 3. Splitting up Proto-Germanic: mainly a case of vowel change? Relative continuity of the consonantal frames (exception: [Old] High German); a short paradigmatic survey of this development: (1) Gallehus (about 425 AD): ek hlewagastiR holtijaR horna tawido (where the final R still represents [z] and not [r], as it did in later times) „I Legest, son of/from Holt, made [the] horn. (2) *ek[a] hlewa stiz hultijaz hurnan tawiðón. (Proto-Germanic) (3) *ik hliugasts hulteis haúrn tawida. (Gothic) (4) *ek hlégestr hyltir horn g{e|ø}rða [táða].

  • Norsk Ordbok - the Crown of Nynorsk Lexicography?
    Lars S. Vik0r, Sectionfor Norwegian Lexicography, University ofOslo Norsk Ordbok - the Crown of Nynorsk Lexicography? Abstract Norsk Ordbok 'Norwegian Dictionary' is a multi-volume dictionary of the Norwegian standard variety Nynorsk and the Norwegian dialects. It is one of the very few dictionaries which cover both a written standard language and the oral dialects on which this standard is based. It was initiated around 1930, based on dialect material collected by volunteers and stored in a vast card archive, and on a variety of written sources. At present, three oftwelve planned volumes have appeared, reaching into g. The paper gives a historical outline of the project, followed by a brief description of its structure and the types of information it gives. This is exemplified by the treatment of one particular word, bunad. Finally, some fundamental problems are briefly discussed: 1) the selection of lemmas, 2) the character of the sources, 3) the treatment of dialect forms, 4) the sequence of definitions. The full title of Norsk Ordbok is Norsk Ordbok. Ordbok over det norske folkemâlet og det nynorske skriftmâlet 'Norwegian Dictionary. A dic­ tionary of the Norwegian popular language [i.e. the Norwegian dialects], and the Nynorsk written language'. This title at once indicates the dual aspect of the dictionary: It gives integrated coverage of both oral dialects and a written standard language. This dual aspect is the most special distinguishing feature of Norsk Ordbok as a lexicographic work. Normally, dictionaries cover written standard languages or some aspect of them (or, in the case of pro­ nouncing dictionaries, oral standard language).

  • Plea for a Mobile Identity
    UC Berkeley TRANSIT Title Plea for a Mobile Identity Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8jd063wq Journal TRANSIT, 4(1) Author Loetscher, Hugo Publication Date 2008-11-26 DOI 10.5070/T741009729 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California I must confess I have my problems with identity, with the word as well as with the phenomenon. But there is no avoiding the debates about the concept. A few days after my birth a form was filled out confirming that I had been born in Switzerland of Swiss parents, which is why today I am considered a Swiss. And yet, when I was still a baby I was also brought to the church to be baptized. They told me that I cried, because of the cold water. I have another version: it was my first attempt at self-determination. I came by a religious and a national identity without being asked. By the time I was able to ask questions, the answers had already been given. Today I am no longer a reliably practicing Christian, but I am still a practicing Swiss, and have been for more than seven decades now. Being Swiss brings some advantages, for instance a passport. After World War II, in a Europe destroyed by war, it was quite comfortable to carry a Swiss passport when confronted with currency regulations and visas. The Swiss passport opened borders. Until one day I lost my illusions about my Swiss passport. It happened in the United States, where I was writer in residence at the USC in Los Angeles.

  • On the Origins of the Gothic Novel: from Old Norse to Otranto
    This extract is taken from the author's original manuscript and has not been edited. The definitive, published, version of record is available here: https:// www.palgrave.com/gb/book/9781137465030 and https://link.springer.com/book/10.1057/9781137465047. Please be aware that if third party material (e.g. extracts, figures, tables from other sources) forms part of the material you wish to archive you will need additional clearance from the appropriate rights holders. On the origins of the Gothic novel: From Old Norse to Otranto Martin Arnold A primary vehicle for the literary Gothic in the late eighteenth to early nineteen centuries was past superstition. The extent to which Old Norse tradition provided the basis for a subspecies of literary horror has been passed over in an expanding critical literature which has not otherwise missed out on cosmopolitan perspectives. This observation by Robert W. Rix (2011, 1) accurately assesses what may be considered a significant oversight in studies of the Gothic novel. Whilst it is well known that the ethnic meaning of ‘Gothic’ originally referred to invasive, eastern Germanic, pagan tribes of the third to the sixth centuries AD (see, for example, Sowerby 2000, 15-26), there remains a disconnect between Gothicism as the legacy of Old Norse literature and the use of the term ‘Gothic’ to mean a category of fantastical literature. This essay, then, seeks to complement Rix’s study by, in certain areas, adding more detail about the gradual emergence of Old Norse literature as a significant presence on the European literary scene. The initial focus will be on those formations (often malformations) and interpretations of Old Norse literature as it came gradually to light from the sixteenth century onwards, and how the Nordic Revival impacted on what is widely considered to be the first Gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto (1764) by Horace Walpole (1717-97).

  • Geminates: from Old Norse to Scandinavian Languages
    Geminates: from Old Norse to Scandinavian Languages. Laurence Voeltzel - Université de Nantes, Lling EA 3827 Consonants in scandinavian languages (Icelandic, Faroese, Danish, Swedish and one variety of Norwegian, Bokmål) have very similar behaviors: they undergo the same changes. Some examples showing this proximity are given below in (1): (a) semi-vocalization Icelandic (1). /lagɪ/ [lajɪ] lie past. part. ; /segja/ [sejːa] say inf. Faroese /stʊtligʊr/ [stʊtlijʊr] pleasant ; /drɔugu/ [drɔuwu] drag past. part. Danish /lægə/ [læjə] play inf. ; /sɒg/ [sɒˀw] sorrow ; /bɔg/ [bɔˀw] book (b) voicing Icelandic /ljɛku/ [ljɛgu] play pret. ; /tapa/ [taba] lose inf. ;/matur/ [madur] meal Faroese /tɛaka/ [tɛaga] take inf. ; /drepa/ [dreːba] kill inf. ; /sita/ [siːda] sit inf. Danish /ʁyːpə/ [ʁyːbə] lagopus; /pawkə/ [pawgə] kettledrum ; /ʁuːtə/ [ʁuːdə] route This similarity finds its source in the diachrony of these languages: they all are from the same language continuum, Old Norse (henceforth ON). In order to explain their behavior and to test if this genetic proximity still holds in the synchrony, we used the contrastive hierarchy method (Hall : 2007, Dresher : 2009), which allows us to identify the phonologically active material in the segments. We obtained the same hierarchy for the five nordic languages. It is given in (2): (2). [glottal] >> [compact] >> [grave] >> [Spread Glottis] >> [strident] >> [voice] [+glottal] [-glottal] /h/ [+compact] [-compact] [+SG] [-SG] [+grave] [-grave] /k/ [+strident] [-strident] [+SG] [-SG] [+SG] [-SG] 1 /j/ - /w/ /g/ /p/ /t/ vocalization [+strident] [-strident] [+strident]2 [-strident] voicing /f/ /b/ /s/ /d/ The contrastivist approach allows us to explain most of the consonantal changes in nordic languages: segments that interact share most of their features and hence they appear under same node.

  • Etymology 1 Cost (“Option, Choice, Possibility, Manner, Way, Condition”)
    Apart from a mild comment about the quaintness of thrice, and I am in no position to quibble about quaint, I think your sentence is fine. Costed is not the same as cost. If I costed the company, I evaluated it in some way to put a price on it. If I cost (past tense of some kind) the company, I caused it spend money or other resource. The fact that cost and caused sound somewhat similar is a cosmic coincidence for which I apologise. 1. Welcome to the forums, Leo, For the verb: "to cost" Simple Past: cost Past Participle: cost There is confusion among the various meanings of the verb. You used "cost" properly. The sense of the verb in your sentence is ~to have caused something or somebody to bear an expense. The other meaning deals with, as you have written, calculating or estimating expenses. That's common in fields such as finance, accounting, and manufacturing. It has nothing to do with your sentence. This project has cost us far more than we expected, due to bad weather, poor design specifications, and sloppy work. 1 The accounting department has costed the project, on the basis of work done to date, and projects a massive budget overrrun. Those two sentences illustrate two distinct meanings of the verb. Here is how Cambridge Advanced Learners Dict. sees it. cost verb [T] cost, cost If something costs an amount of money, you must pay that amount to buy or do it: "How much does this book cost (= What is the price of this book)?" "It costs £25." It costs a lot to buy a house in this part of London.
