X. ROMANSH STUDIES by GLANVILLE PRICE, University College of Wales, Aberystwyth 650 Romansh Studies X. ROMANSH STUDIES By GLANVILLE PRICE, University College of Wales, Aberystwyth I. BIBLIOGRAHICAL AND GENERAL Kuno Widmer provides a most useful critical bibliography of work on Romansh language, literature, history, and folklore, Bundnerromanisch 1977-1982: Bibliographischer Abriss, laufinde Projekte, Sprachpolitik, Chur, Societa Retorumantscha, 38 pp. This is my source for a number of the items listed below that I have not been able to have access to. It should be consulted in addition for various items (including a number of unpublished dissertations and conference papers and items published in minor journals) that are outside the scope of YWMLS. Among the items I note after Widmer are a number of apparently important articles from the journal *Ladinia: Sfoi cultural dai Ladins dies Dolomites (starting with Vol. I, I977), published at San Martin de Tor in the Val Badia, which is not available for consultation anywhere in the United Kingdom. G. Francescato contributes the section on 'Rhaeto-Friulian' to Trends in Romance, m, I3I-6g, and Romansh of course also figures prominently in R. de Dardel's survey of'Romance studies in Switzerland', ib., IV, 9-39· 2. LANGUAGE GENERAL In all too brief an article, 'Le "rheto-roman" ', RRL, 27: I43-45, Maria Iliescu draws attention to some of the major phonetic and morphosyntactic features differentiating the Friulan, Dolomitic, Engadinese, and Surselvan dialects. But she does not go as far as G. B. Pellegrini, who, in his 'Considerazioni sociolinguistiche sui ladino centrale', in Coseriu Vol., v, pp. 339-47, aligns himself with Battisti in rejecting the widely held view that the Ladin of the Dolomites, Friulan, and the Romansh of the Grisons form part of the same 'linguistic system'; he argues, rather, that Ladin is 'unicamente una varieta, sia pure del tutto speciale, dell'italiano settentrionale'. H. Kuen, 'Die Verzahnung der ratoromanischen Mundarten', in Fest. Hubschmid, pp. 509-22, on the other hand, sees the three dialectal groups as bound together by many features differentiating them from the neighbouring Italian dialects, with Dolomitic Ladin forming a link (Bindeglied) between the western and eastern groups.

Linder, 'Die Entstehung des Biindnerromanischen Dativpro­ nomens adami', in Coseriu Vol., IV, pp. 43-55, rejects earlier explana­ tions proposed by Ch. Pult and A. Widmer respectively, and argues, with examples in support, that the origin of the form ada is to be sought in a reinterpretation of ad aquel as ada que[ at the time when the demonstratives in a- (aquel, aquaist, etc.) were giving way to the modern unprefixed forms. P. S. Ureland, 'Typological, areal linguis­ tic and statistical aspects of Raeto-Romanic reflexives', in Ureland, Die Leistung der Strata.forschung, pp. I 7I-2oo, presents in diagrammatic form and comments on a considerable amount of data from both Swiss Romansh and Dolomitic Ladinian dialects and concludes that typological differences between the two areas are due to the fact that they are 'roofed' by German and Italian respectively.

Introduction According to the national census of the year 2000, there are 7.288.010 million1 people living in the small alpine country Switzerland which has an area of only 16.000 square mile ( 41.285 km2; about 1/2 the size of the U.S. state of Maine). Switzerland has one of the highest GNP in the world and it is known as a neutral country that does not belong to the European Union. It has its own currency, the Swiss franc, which has been relatively stable for more than a century, since Switzerland was not involved in the First and Second World War and because of the country's long history of democracy. Despite its size, Switzerland is a multi-lingual agglomeration of peoples, cultures, institutions, and organizations. 2. History and Demographics A. History Switzerland was founded in the year 1291, when the four states situated around the Four Canton Lakes (Vierwaldstädtersee) – Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden and Nidwalden – united in a covenant of independency and freedom as they pledged mutual support against the threats of the Habsburg Empire.

  • Trilingual Education in Switzerland*
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by RERO DOC Digital Library Trilingual education in Switzerland* CLAUDINE BROHY Abstract The Swiss Confederation is known for its historical multilingualism. The four national languages are, however, unequally distributed among its in- habitants. Individual foreign-language competence, including English, also varies strongly. The educational system reflects cantonal di¤erences. The article distinguishes between strong, intermediate, and weak forms of trilin- gual education. The strong form can be found at university level, the inter- mediate form includes all bilingual models with a course in one additional language, and the weak form is found frequently, in particular, in secondary education. A new model of multilingualism emerges with two national lan- guages, plus English. Research has thus far dealt mainly with the outcomes of bilingual education, but in the near future will focus more on the di¤er- ences between second- and third-language learning and the outcomes of tri- lingual education. 1. Introduction For centuries or even millennia, the territory of what is now called Swit- zerland has lain at a crossroads of di¤erent languages and cultures. The indigenous Celtic population was overwhelmed by the Roman army at the time of Christ’s birth, like the rest of Europe, which led to the Romanization of the region. As the Germanic invasions swept over the territory, from the sixth century AD on, the Alamans contributed to the development of a German-speaking population living alongside the Romance communities, which emerged from the contact of the former population with the Romans.

  • Switzerland 4Th Periodical Report
    Strasbourg, 15 December 2009 MIN-LANG/PR (2010) 1 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES Fourth Periodical Report presented to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in accordance with Article 15 of the Charter SWITZERLAND Periodical report relating to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages Fourth report by Switzerland 4 December 2009 SUMMARY OF THE REPORT Switzerland ratified the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (Charter) in 1997. The Charter came into force on 1 April 1998. Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions. Switzerland‘s first report was submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in September 1999. Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).

  • Hiking in Lenzerheide, Switzerland - KÜHL Blog
    Trip Report: Hiking in Lenzerheide, Switzerland - KÜHL Blog Trip Report: Hiking in Lenzerheide, Switzerland HIKING TRAVEL TRIP REPORTS By Kühl Editor on October 4, 2019 When I arrived at the Swiss ski area, Arosa Lenzerheide, in the canton of Graubünden, in early September, I embarked on a memorable Grison Alps adventure. I explored the lush green valley and its pristine alpine lake and also trekked down from the rocky surface of the Rothorn Summit to the midpoint at Scharmoin. Arosa Lenzerheide A Room with a View Checking in at the modern Revier Mountain Lodge was done electronically at a high tech computer console. I had to guess at some of the required responses since the prompts were in German. All of the rooms are arranged on one side of each floor’s corridor and are accessed by a multiple digit code obtained during check-in. Each doorway entrance has a whimsical English saying. Two of my favorites were Follow Your Dreams and Tonight is https://www.kuhl.com/borninthemountains/trip-report-hiking-lenzerheide-switzerland/[10/7/19, 3:59:32 PM] Trip Report: Hiking in Lenzerheide, Switzerland - KÜHL Blog the Night. The focal point of my simple wood-paneled room was an oversized picture window with an incredible view of the fertile valley. The turquoise colored Lake Heidsee glistened against the backdrop of dark green foliage and surrounding mountains. Off in the distance, I could see the telltale sign of ski runs carved into the slopes. View from Revier Mountain Lodge Few hotel accommodations offer an unobstructed view of Mother Nature’s handiwork.

  • The Rhaeto-Romance Languages
    Romance Linguistics Editorial Statement Routledge publish the Romance Linguistics series under the editorship of Martin Harris (University of Essex) and Nigel Vincent (University of Manchester). Romance Philogy and General Linguistics have followed sometimes converging sometimes diverging paths over the last century and a half. With the present series we wish to recognise and promote the mutual interaction of the two disciplines. The focus is deliberately wide, seeking to encompass not only work in the phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and lexis of the Romance languages, but also studies in the history of Romance linguistics and linguistic thought in the Romance cultural area. Some of the volumes will be devoted to particular aspects of individual languages, some will be comparative in nature; some will adopt a synchronic and some a diachronic slant; some will concentrate on linguistic structures, and some will investigate the sociocultural dimensions of language and language use in the Romance-speaking territories. Yet all will endorse the view that a General Linguistics that ignores the always rich and often unique data of Romance is as impoverished as a Romance Philogy that turns its back on the insights of linguistics theory. Other books in the Romance Linguistics series include: Structures and Transformations Christopher J. Pountain Studies in the Romance Verb eds Nigel Vincent and Martin Harris Weakening Processes in the History of Spanish Consonants Raymond Harris-N orthall Spanish Word Formation M.F.
