Good Place-Name Practice ortnamn_fram-6-2019_esko 1-MAR-19 GOOD PLACE-NAME PRACTICE The Swedish Place-Names Advisory Board ´s Guide to the Standardisation and Preservation of Place-Names 159 138 English translation of Lantmäteri-rapport 2016:9 Ortnamn och namnvård 6 GOOD PLACE-NAME PRACTICE The Swedish Place-Names Advisory Board’s Guide to the Standardisation and Preservation of Place-Names Gävle 2016 ISSN 1103-0054 3 Preface to the English translation of the second edition, 2019 In 2000, provisions on ‘good place-name practice’ were introduced into Swedish law. They are contained in the Historic Environment Act, underlining the aim of viewing and preserving place-names as part of the intangible cultural heritage. Briefly, good place-name practice means not changing place-names that are established by long usage unless there is good reason to do so, and spelling place- names in accordance with accepted rules of linguistic correctness. Since Sweden is a multilingual country, the national minority languages are also to be used as far as possible in parallel with Swedish on maps and road signs. The Swedish Place-Names Advisory Board is a joint advisory body, linked to Lantmäteriet, that seeks to ensure that good place-name practice is observed in activities relating to place-names. This guide, previously published in two editions in Swedish, has been produced on the Board’s initiative. In the first edition, the emphasis was on presenting and explaining the new legislation, describing the functions of place-names, and identifying the various bodies and organisations involved in efforts to standardise and preserve place-names. That edition also included detailed advice to local and central government name givers on the writing of place-names. In 2016, the Place-Names Advisory Board published a second edition, enlarged to include several new chapters. Here, the responsibilities of central and local government relating to place-names were described at greater length. There was also a separate chapter giving a more in-depth account of the concept of good place-name practice, illustrated by case studies. And new chapters were added on the use of commercial names and international cooperation on place-names. There has long been an interest, both within the UN Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) and among the international onomastic research community, in this publication on good place-name practice being made accessible to non-Swedish speakers. The Place-Names Advisory Board is now pleased to be able to publish an English translation of the 2016 edition, with minor updates. We hope that it will be a source of inspiration and support in the broad area of standardisation and preservation of names. The changes and additions included in the 2016 edition are the work of Leif Nilsson, former Names Advisory Officer at the Institute for Language and Folklore, Professor Staffan Nyström, Uppsala University, and Annette C. Torensjö, Head of the Department of Onomastics at the Institute for Language and Folklore. Muriel Bjureberg, at the Place-Names Section of Lantmäteriet, has been responsible for editing and graphic design of this publication. The Swedish text has been translated into English by Martin Naylor, MA (Cantab.), Uppsala.

Swedish Dimensional Adjectives. (Svenska dimensionsadjektiv.) Acta Universitatis Stockholmiensis. Stockholm Studies in Scandinavian Philology. New Series. 36. Almqvist & Wiksell International. 377 pp. The purpose of this study is to give a thorough and detailed account and analysis of the semantics of twelve Swedish dimensional adjectives: hög ‘high/tall’, låg ‘low’, bred ‘broad/wide’, smal ‘narrow/thin’, vid ‘broad’, trång ‘narrow’, tjock ‘thick’, tunn ‘thin’, djup ‘deep’, grund ‘narrow’, lång ‘long’ and kort ‘short’. Focus has been placed on their spatial, non-metaphorical sense. The study was written within the framework of cognitive linguistics, where lexical definitions may be given in terms of prototypical and peripheral uses. Four sources of data have been considered: a corpus, consisting of contemporary fiction, an elicitation test, designed for the purpose, dictionary articles on the pertinent adjectives, and the author’s own linguistic intuition as a native speaker. The methodology has involved categorisation of combinations of adjective and noun, based upon three major themes: orientation, function, and shape. In order to determine prototypical uses, precedence has been given to the outcome of the elicitation test over the corpus search. For both sources, frequency has played an important part. The ranking of senses as stated in the dictionary articles has also been considered.

  • Consonant Gradation in Estonian and Sámi: Two-Level Solution TROND TROSTERUD and HELI UIBO
    14 Consonant Gradation in Estonian and Sámi: Two-Level Solution TROND TROSTERUD AND HELI UIBO 14.1 Introduction Koskenniemi’s two-level morphology was the first practical general model in the history of computational linguistics for the analysis of morphologi- cally complex languages. In this article we will reconsider one of the key innovations in Koskenniemi (1983), namely the treatment of consonant gra- dation in finite state transducers. We will look not at Finnish, but at two lan- guages with a more extensive consonant gradation system, namely Estonian and Sámi. The goal of the paper is to demonstrate two different ways of mod- eling consonant gradation in a finite state morphological system - lexical and morphophonological. We will also compare the resulting systems by their computational complexity and human-readability. Consonant gradation is rare among the languages of the world, but stem al- ternation in itself is not, and the treatment of consonant gradation can readily be transferred to other stem alternation phenomena. Koskenniemi’s original idea was to see stem alternation as an agglutinative phenomenon. Consider the example (14.1), showing a two-level representation of stem alternation. ehT e$:ehe (14.1) Here the $ sign is a quasi-suffix, introduced to trigger consonant grada- tion in the stem. Two-level rules decide the correspondence of T to surface phonemes t or 0 (empty symbol), based on the context, specifically, according to the presence or absence of the symbol $ in the right context. Another type of rules for handling stem alternations that can be compiled Inquiries into Words, Constraints and Contexts.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • INTRODUCTION the GREENEST CITY? Jonathan Metzger and Amy Rader Olsson
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION THE GREENEST CITY? Jonathan Metzger and Amy Rader Olsson THE EUROPEAN UNION inaugurated the European Green Capital Award in 2010. The annual prize recognizes the consistent record of high envi- ronmental standards and commitment to ongoing and ambitious goals for further environmental improvement of one city within the European Union, which can then function as a role model to inspire and “promote best practice experiences in all other European cities” (European Green Capital, 2009). The first city to receive this award was Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Positioned on the Baltic rim, on the northern outskirts of Europe, Stockholm has long been renowned for its distinctive waterfront and exten- sive foliage, truly making this “Venice of the North” worthy of the moniker Green (and blue!) Capital in the literal sense of the term. But of course, in relation to urban development the adjective “green” also implies so much more, functioning as a synonym for sustainability, or sustainable develop- ment. The classic definition of sustainable development, as formulated in the Brundtland Report (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987), states that sustainable development is development that “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” In many contexts, the term is also used in a broad sense to denote action toward securing, sustaining, and developing the global preconditions for human life across multiple generations, while simultaneously paying attention to human well-being and prosperity, as well as safeguarding sensitive ecosystems and finite natural resources (for a more detailed discussion, see Chapter 3).
