Dictionary includes first phonetic transcription of Swiss language

dreFauteux

A lively, 2,000-year-old language once limited to a pocket of Switzerland is making its way into the French-speaking world with the publication of the first-ever French­ Romansch dictionary. The 494-page dictionary, by Etudes fram;aises Professor Gilbert Taggart, includes the first phonetic transcription of Romansch and will be used mostly in Swiss high schools. Students learning French and Romansch have had to use a French-German-Romansch dictionary, until now. A Romance language spoken in GraubOnden canton, near Austria, Romansch is Switzerland's fourth national language after German, French and Italian. "French is Romansch gone wrong," joked Taggart, explaining that the 9th-century Minister announces special Serment de Strasbourg, one of the first French documents, reads like a variation of Romansch. Taggart's five-year project began when Linguistics Professor Carlo Fonda joint venture on multiculturalism asked him to speak to one of his classes about Romance languages. "I accepted out of sheer folly , because I didn't know any of them," he said. in Canada with SSHRC When he came across Romansch, he was curious to learn how such a small language Multiculturalism and Citizen ship challenge o f nation-building in - only about 50,000 Swiss speak it - could survive for two millennia.

From supercomputers to gigaflops Engineers honoured for fastest computational codes anywhere

Few people are ever called upon to solve truly complex mathematical equa­ tions, but fewer still have the opportunity to solve 100,000 such equations in a single year. That is exactly what W.G. (Fred) Habashi and his research team at Pratt & Whitney Canada Inc. have done - devising a technique to solve a system of 100,000 simultaneous linear equations in 30 seconds. For their work, Habashi and his team will be honoured next Monday at PHOTO: Owen Egan Rockefeller Center in New York (at the IEEE Supercomputing '90 Conference) W.G.

Pat Sheahan

Pat Sheahan's two-year stint at Con­ cordia University has produced one of the most amazing turnarounds in CIAU football. Before Sheahan's appointment in 1989, the Stingers had gone three years without a playoff appearance. His performance this year led to his nomination for the Frank Tindall Trophy for Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union coach of the year. In his first year, he led Concordia to the promised land, finishing third in the league before losing in the semi-finals to the Ottawa Gee-Gees. This season the PHOTO: Charles Belang'" Stingers stayed in contention for first The first faces most Henry F. Hall Building habitues see every morning looked quite different on Halloween.

They defeated each team in the league by more than seven points and entered the playoffs with momentum, winning their last three games. "When we hired Pat, we were looking .. for someone who could develop a com­ petitive football program,"Concordia Athletic Director Bob Philip said recent­ ly. "We wanted a coach who could con­ sistently field a competitive, disciplined team, and who could recruit young ath­ letes capable of doing the job on the field and in the classroom. We feel Pat has done that, and done it very well." Although this is Sheahan' s first year as a head coach at the CIAU level, he is no stranger to successful university programmes. While associate coach at McGill, he helped the Redmen to the Vanier Cup Championship in 1987. Sheahan' s coaching career began in 1978 at Loyola High School. He coached Leo's Boys Bantam Football Club in DIii SPIRIT. 11111 GAMI. 1979 before taking a two-year coaching hiatus. Sheahan hooked up with the Be part of Canada's Finest University Celebration.
