  • The Assignment of Grammatical Gender in German: Testing Optimal Gender Assignment Theory
    The Assignment of Grammatical Gender in German: Testing Optimal Gender Assignment Theory Emma Charlotte Corteen Trinity Hall September 2018 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The Assignment of Grammatical Gender in German: Testing Optimal Gender Assignment Theory Emma Charlotte Corteen Abstract The assignment of grammatical gender in German is a notoriously problematic phenomenon due to the apparent opacity of the gender assignment system (e.g. Comrie 1999: 461). Various models of German gender assignment have been proposed (e.g. Spitz 1965, Köpcke 1982, Corbett 1991, Wegener 1995), but none of these is able to account for all of the German data. This thesis investigates a relatively under-explored, recent approach to German gender assignment in the form of Optimal Gender Assignment Theory (OGAT), proposed by Rice (2006). Using the framework of Optimality Theory, OGAT claims that the form and meaning of a noun are of equal importance with respect to its gender. This is formally represented by the crucial equal ranking of all gender assignment constraints in a block of GENDER FEATURES, which is in turn ranked above a default markedness hierarchy *NEUTER » *FEMININE » *MASCULINE, which is based on category size. A key weakness of OGAT is that it does not specify what constitutes a valid GENDER FEATURES constraint. This means that, in theory, any constraint can be proposed ad hoc to ensure that an OGAT analysis yields the correct result. In order to prevent any constraints based on ‘postfactum rationalisations’ (Comrie 1999: 461) from being included in the investigation, the GENDER FEATURES constraints which have been proposed in the literature for German are assessed according to six criteria suggested by Enger (2009), which seek to determine whether there is independent evidence for a GENDER FEATURES constraint.

  • The Even Language: Studying, Teaching and Linguistic Ecology Challenges
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 2021 14(6): 822–833 DOI: 10.17516/1997–1370–0763 УДК 811.51 The Even Language: Studying, Teaching and Linguistic Ecology Challenges Alexander A. Petrova, с and Veronica A. Razumovskayab aHerzen State Pedagogical University of Russia St. Petersburg, Russian Federation bSiberian Federal University Krasnoyarsk, Russian Federation сM.K. Ammosov North- Eastern Federal University Yakutsk, Russian Federation Received 05.03.2021, received in revised form 21.04.2021, accepted 21.05.2021 Abstract. The article is devoted to the history of the study and teaching of the Even (Lamut) language in Russia in the period from the 17th – to the beginning of the 21st century. Special attention is paid to the problem of linguistic ecology. The fundamental and applied researches in the synchronic and diachronic aspects, as well as issues of teaching the Even language in families, pre-school educational institutions, colleges and higher educational institutions of Russia are studied. Ethnolinguistics is considered as a possible tool of language preservation and development, i. e., the Even language teaching in the close connection with traditional and modern material and spiritual culture. In this way, the role of vocabulary reflecting the song and dance creative activity, decorative and applied art, ceremonies (of life cycle: birth, wedding, funeral) and economy (hunting, fishing, reindeer breeding), taboo and euphemisms, folk knowledge (metrology, meteorology, space orientation, medicine, calendar, food and cuisine, etc.), as well as the words of religious beliefs (animism, shamanism, Christianity) in the formation of a language picture of the world and the Evens’ mentality is being determined.

    BECOMING ONE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NATIONAL UNIFICATION IN VIETNAM, YEMEN AND GERMANY A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Conflict Resolution By Min Jung Kim, B.A. Washington, DC May 1, 2009 I owe my most sincere gratitude to my thesis advisor Kevin Doak, Ph.D. for his guidance and support and to Aviel Roshwald, Ph.D. and Tristan Mabry, Ph.D. for detailed and constructive comments. Min Jung Kim ii BECOMING ONE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NATIONAL UNIFICATION IN VIETNAM, YEMEN AND GERMANY Min Jung Kim, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Kevin M. Doak, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to understand the dynamic processes of modern national unification cases in Vietnam (1976), Yemen (1990) and Germany (1990) in a qualitative manner within the framework of Amitai Etizoni’s political integration theory. There has been little use of this theory in cases of inter-state unification despite its apparent applicability. This study assesses different factors (military force, utilitarian and identitive factors) that influence unification in order to understand which were most supportive of unification and which resulted in a consolidation unification in the early to intermediate stages. In order to answer the above questions, the thesis uses the level of integration as a dependent variable and the various methods of unification as independent variables. The dependent variables are measured as follows: whether unified states were able to protect its territory from potential violence and secessions and to what extent alienation emerged amongst its members.

I watch a lot of the world go by in its ever changing seasons from my chair and I must say that I feel happy and blessed. Of course, it is hard for me to get up to camp and see all that is going on, but I do manage to get to “colors” and some other larger events. I have had the joy of watching my granddaughters grow up at camp with Kanchan now entering her AC year. Maya, cute little button that she is, is coming full season next summer as a JC I and I can’t wait. However, it just doesn’t seem possible that they have moved along through camp so quickly. They bring me much interesting news of the goings on at camp during the summer. Right after the summer, I attended the wonderful wedding of my sister Frances’ grandson Garran to Christie Cepetelli.

Unless otherwise indicated, the views expressed are attributable only to the authors in a personal capacity and not to any institution with which they are associated. ISBN 92-9079-309-0 © Copyright 2000, Michael Emerson, Nathalie Tocci and Elena Prokhorova A Stability Pact for the Caucasus in Theory and Practice - A Supplementary Note CEPS Working Document No. 152, November 2000 Michael Emerson, Nathalie Tocci & Elena Prokhorova* Abstract In response to appeals of the leaders of the South Caucasus for a Stability Pact for the region, CEPS published in May 2000 a consultative document with a comprehensive proposal (available on www.ceps.be). Subsequently the authors have held extensive consultations with the leaders in all three states of the South Caucasus, and in four of the key autonomies (Nagorno Karabakh, Abkhazia, Adjaria, Ossetia). The present paper draws together the information and ideas collected during these consultations, although the conclusions are only attributable to the authors. The main argument of the original document is maintained, and strengthened with more precise views on how the conflicts might be solved within the framework of a Stability Pact. However the proposed Stability Pact process could be more than just an approach to conflict resolution. It has systemic or even constitutional aspects, with elements to overcome the transitional problems of the weak state and ease the confrontations of traditional notions such as independence versus territorial integrity, or the choice between federation and confederation, which are part of the present impasse.

FRl EDt1AN PROPOSAL TO ESTA RL ISh ON THE CAMPUS OF TEL AVIV UNIV ERSITY AN INTERHATIONAL YOUNG LEADERSHIP HOUSE (a la International House adjacent to Columbia University) l. CONCEPT In the post-philanthropic period, 35 years after statehood, in thinking of what the relationship of concerned Diaspora Jews must be to Israel, one of the clear factors is the necessity of learning the history, geography and sociol­ ogy of Israel in depth by living there for extended periods of time, and by learn­ ing the Hebrew language, so that a genuine approach between Israeli and Diaspora Jew becomes possible instead of a superficial structured stylized dance between ''sabra" and "visiting miss ion member." This was the essence of my talk at the 20th Anniversary banquet of the Y.L. Cabinet in Washington on May 21, 1983. If the above is true for Jews in general, how much more so is it relevant, nay crucial , for the trained, elite, leadership man -and-woman power represented by the phrase "Young Leadership Cabinet graduate. " That latter person is the finest human leader-type produced by the American Jewish community . By any definition, inc1uding all such criteria as ideological commitment, financial generosity, sense of responsibility and power of persuasion , the Young Leadership graduate, man or woman, is the epitome of what can be achieved through years of training, confer­ ences , missions overseas, visits to other co1T1T1unities, reading,exposure to the influence of top Israeli and American government officials.
