Full textAbstract:
Makary Kotoko, a Chadic language spoken in the flood plain directly south of Lake Chad in Cameroon, has an estimated 16,000 speakers. An analysis of a lexical database for the language shows that of the 3000 or so distinct lexical entries in the database, almost 1/3 (916 items) have been identified as borrowed from other languages in the region. The majority of the borrowings come from Kanuri, a Nilo-Saharan language of Nigeria, with an estimated number of speakers ranging from 1 to 4 million. In this article I first present the number of borrowings specifically from Kanuri relative to the total number of borrowed items in Makary Kotoko, and the lexical/grammatical categories in Makary Kotoko that have incorporated Kanuri borrowings. I follow this by presenting the linguistic evidence which not only suggests a possible time frame for when the borrowings from Kanuri came into Makary Kotoko, but also supports the idea that this is essentially a case of completed language contact. After discussing the lexical and grammatical borrowings from Kanuri into Makary Kotoko in detail, I explore the limited evidence in Makary Kotoko for lexical and grammatical ‘calquing’ from Kanuri, resulting in almost no structural diffusion from Kanuri into Makary Kotoko. I finish with a few proposals as to why this is the case in this instance of language contact in the Lake Chad basin.

This paper examines the parametric variations of English and Kanuri noun phrases (NPs) within the theoretical framework of Principles and Parameters (P&P), and the study adopts Chomsky’s (1995) Minimalist Approach (MA). In conducting the research, the researcher uses his native intuition to collect the data for this study. The secondary sources of data involve the use of three competent native speakers to validate the data. The outcome of the study reveals that there are differences and similarities between the two languages which are genetically different –Kanuri Nilo is a Saharan language while English is an Endo European language. The differences are: Kanuri is a head final language while English is head initial language. On the complement phrases, the two languages share dissimilarities –quantifiers and adjectives occur post head in Kanuri while the quantifiers and adjectives occur pre-head in English. Finally, the two languages share similarities in terms of noun plural formation morphologically suffixed to post head nouns and definiteness and agreement features [-Def] [+PL Num].

“Many African languages have a long written tradition, e.g. Ge'ez, Kiswahili, Hausa, etc.” reads the summary of panel 21 of the AEGIS conference “African Manuscripts and Museum Collections in Europe”. The list could be extended to include other names familiar to a wider audience, e.g., Fula(ni) (Fulfulde), Manding (Mandenkan, Bambara, Dyula, Mandinka), Wolof, Asante (Akan), Songay. The Kanuri language however, needs some introduction. This is to a certain extent a historical paradox, because Kanuri was in fact the first African language to be extensively documented in the middle of the 19th century by Sigismund Koelle. In 1854 Koelle published two large volumes on Kanuri grammar and an anthology of oral narratives (1854a, 1854b). Remarkably, four tales from the Koelle's Kanuri anthology found their way into Volume 3 of the 3rd edition of the Grimm Brothers’ Children and Household Tales (1856).

Full textAbstract:
The paper attempts to identify and study those linguistic items borrowed from Hausa to Kanuri language with special attentions to the deglottalization and sonorization processes employed in incorporating the loanwords. Borrowing is a phenomenon which is as old as human social, economic, and administrative contact. When a contact is established between two or more different linguistic communities, there is the tendency for linguistic borrowing to take place. Therefore, despite the fact that Hausa belongs to Chadic family and Kanuri belongs to Nilo-Sahara, there exists linguistic borrowing between them. The paper focuses on the deglottalization and sonorization in nativazation of the borrowed words. The research sought data from two sources. These sources are primary and secondary. The primary source includes unobtrusive observation when discourse is taking place in Kanuri language. Similarly, the researcher’s intuition plays significant role in identifying the loanwords being a native speaker of the language. On the other hand, the secondary sources include written records, such as journal articles, dissertations, thesis, dictionaries etc. The paper concludes that Kanuri, a Nilo-Saharan language uses deglottalization and sonorization in nativazation of some Hausa borrowed lexical items. This resulted in making the loanwords to behave like the native words of the target language (Kanuri).

Full textAbstract:
The Bornu quranic manuscripts with interlinear ajami glosses in a Kanuri dialect were discovered by A. D. H. Bivar in the late 1950s. The unique corpus of written evidence for the Kanuri language as spoken over 300 years ago has never been analysed in any depth. The first part of the paper contains a general description of the collection and a discussion of codicological and palaeographical characteristics of the manuscripts. The second part comprises a brief note on the Kanuri language and a description of the Bornu writing system used for quranic commentary in this language. The third part explores the phonological and morphological properties of selected examples of glosses. Finally, a preliminary view on the dialect affiliation of the language of the glosses is suggested.

Full textAbstract:
Focus on verbal operators such as aspect or tense ("predication focus", lucidly described by Hyman & Watters (1984) under the label "auxiliary focus") has been noticed to exist in African languages of Afroasiatic and Niger-Congo affiliation, but not so far in Saharan. The Saharan language Kanuri is assumed to have substantially reorganized its TAM system, particularly in the perfective aspect domain (Cyffer [2006] dates major changes between the years 1820 and 1900). The paper discusses, for the first time in Kanuri scholarship, the existence of a neat subsystem of predication focus marking by suffix in the perfective aspect which is made up of a total of six conjugational paradigms that uniformly encode predication focus by suffix {-ò}. Kanuri dialects differ in strategies and scope of focus marking encoded in verb morphology. In the light of data from the Yerwa (Nigeria) and Manga (Niger) dialects the paper discusses some "anomalies" with regard to general focus theory which we account for by describing the "Kanuri Focus Shift" as a diachronic process which is responsible for leftward displacement of scope of focus.

Full textAbstract:
Old Kanembu is an extinct Saharan language that survives in annotations to the Qur’anic manuscripts of the 17th to 18th century. The past and future categories of Old Kanembu are absolute-relative tenses with posterior taxis as their orientational mechanism. The posterior location of events in temporal domains is tied up with the communicative goal of guiding the recipient through the complex Qur’anic discourse so that the foreground information and prominent elements are clearly set off against the background events. Similar properties are reported for the past and future tenses in Kanuri and therefore the Old Kanembu data corroborates a previously postulated hypothesis that the past and future in Kanuri are inherently focus categories (Wolff & Löhr 2006). Given that complexity of the Kanuri TAM system – significantly more elaborated than in the other Saharan languages – was triggered by the contact with Chadic languages and that Old Kanembu preserves archaic features going back to the 16th century and beyond, the semantic properties of the Old Kanembu past and future provide additional evidence of early Chadic influence on Kanuri.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: The paper focuses on identifying and studying those linguistic items borrowed from the Kanuri to Pabǝr/Bura language with special attention to the modifications made to the vowels of the source language (Kanuri) before incorporating the loanwords into the target language (Pabǝr/Bura). It is believed that in as much as two or more communities with different linguistic backgrounds came in contact with one another; there is a tendency that linguistic borrowing will take place. Therefore, even though the languages under study belong to different language phyla, there exists linguistic borrowing between them. Because of this, the paper specifically focuses its attention on the adaptation of vowels in borrowed words. The research can establish that the target language (Pabǝr/Bura) employed various phonological processes in incorporating the loan words. More so vowel substitution is found to be the major technique used by the target language in incorporating the borrowed words. However, there are also cases of vowel deletion and insertion. The research employed two distinct sources as methods of data collection. These sources are primary and secondary. The primary source includes unobtrusive observation when discourse is taking place in Pabǝr/Bura language and listening to Pabǝr/Bura radio program broadcast by Yobe Broadcasting Corporation, Damaturu. Similarly, the researchers’ intuition plays a significant role in identifying the loanwords. On the other hand, secondary sources include written records, such as journal articles, dissertations, theses, dictionaries, etc. The paper concludes that Pabǝr/Bura borrowed a good number of lexical items from Kanuri, a Nilo-Saharan language.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the structure of Kanuri DP (structure) Hypothesis within the framework of Abney (1987) and Chomsky (1995) Minimalist Programme (MP). In conducting the research, the researcher uses his native speaker intuition and other three competent native speakers of Kanuri to validate the data of this study. The study identifies Kanuri determiners as post head modifier language. The study identifies also two types of demonstrative modifiers –near and far demonstratives. The near demonstratives agree with their head nouns while the far demonstratives take both singular and plural head nouns. The far demonstratives do not show any form of agreement morphology between the nouns and their demonstrative modifiers. The analysis of DP Hypothesis shows the NP complement moves to the specifier position in the surface syntax which give rise to complement-head (C-H) order. The study further analyzes possessives, demonstratives and quantifiers under the DP hypothesis. The outcome of the study reveals that possessive determiner ‘nde’ (our) is base generated at the possessive position, moves and fills the D position under the DP in Kanuri while the far demonstrative ‘tudu’ (that) is also base generated at the Dem. Position of the determiner phrase (DP) -hence the D position is strong head position moves and fills the D position and the noun ‘fato’ (house) moves to the specifier position of the determiner phrase (DP) in order to check agreement feature in Kanuri.

Full textAbstract:
Le Kanuri apparait, au Niger, comme une langue minoritaire, au regard de son poids démographique, et une langue minorée, au regard de son statut officiel et de sa place dans le système éducatif formel et dans les médias. La promotion d'une telle langue nécessite une démarche qui intègre plusieurs facteurs. La présente étude repose sur la confrontation du comportement linguistique effectif des Kanuri nigériens à leur imaginaire linguistique et articulé, de manière constante, la question linguistique à la problématique du développement sociopolitique et économique en Afrique. Elle se constitue de trois parties principales. Dans la première partie, nous nous attelons à la description morphophonologique du système verbal du kanuri à partir de neuf de ses variétés locales en recourant à la grammaire polylectale et à la phonologie autosegmentale. Dans la deuxième partie, nous analysons les types de rapports qui existent entre les variétés kanuri du Niger et entre cette langue et les autres idiomes en présence, à travers les représentations des locuteurs relevant de différentes catégories socioprofessionnelles. Enfin, dans la troisième partie, nous développons les conditions pratiques indispensables à un aménagement du Kanuri capable de permettre l'épanouissement de l'homme kanuri et sa participation effective à l'œuvre de construction nationale, par l'insertion de sa langue dans sa vie sociopolitique et économiqueIn Niger, Kanuri seems to be a minor language relative to its demographic weight and a minored language relative to its official status and its place within the formal reducation and media. The promotion of such a language must be based on various approaches. This work confronts the linguistic productions of kanuri speakers pf niger to their own representations and articulates linguistic questions to the problem of development in africa. It is made of three main sections. In the first section, using polylectal and autosegmental theories, i describe the morphophonology of the kanuri verbal system. Nine different varieties of Kanuri spoken in Niger are directly concerned by this description. In the second section, i analyse representations and attitudes of various Kanuri native speakers in order to revele the relationship that exists in one hand between kanuri varieties and in the other one between kanuri and other national languages. In the last, are developped pratical conditions for the implementation of the kanuri language in various domains of the life of its speakers so that the planning of this language coincides with a real promotion of Kanuri people

Ova disertacija se usredsređuje na jezičke i vanjezičke opise srpsko-engleskog ili englesko-srpskog hibridnog jezika serbliša koji upotrebljavaju pripadnici mlađe generacije srpske dijaspore u Vankuveru. Tema zahvata oblast kontaktne i kontrastivne lingvistike, sociolingvistike, psiholingvistike i pragmatike i bavi se istražvanjem i opisom navedenog varijeteta na morfosintaksičkom, leksičkom (semantičkom i pragmatičkom), fonološkom i grafološkom nivou.Teorijsku podlogu ovog rada čine brojna proučavanja jezičkog kontakta sa lingvističkog, sociolingvističkog, pragmatičkog i psiholingvističkog aspekta, kako u svetu, tako i kod nas − u bivšoj Jugoslaviji i u Srbiji.Prvu fazu istraživanja predstavljalo je pilot-istraživanje koje je obuhvatilo pisane izvore na srpskom jeziku u Vankuveru, od kojih su najvažniji i najobimniji novine Kišobran koje su petnaest godina (od 1997. do 2012.) izlazile u Vankuveru. Podaci dobijeni ovim istraživanjem poslužili su kao osnova za sastavljanje upitnika za drugu fazu istraživanja.Analiza i opis serbliša kao varijeteta srpskog jezika zasniva se na građi dobijenoj u drugoj fazi istraživanja putem intervjua sa dvojezičnim ispitanicima i upitnika koji su ispitanici popunjavali. Prikupljena građa je analizirana i u odgovarajućim poglavljima predstavljena su svojstva ovog varijeteta na navedenim nivoima. Na kraju su izvedeni zaključci o svojstvima serbliša među pripadnicima mlađe generacije iseljenika, utvrđen je intenzitet i način uticaja engleskog jezika u konkretnoj kontaktnoj situaciji, ustanovljeni su slučajevi u kojima promene u jeziku nisu rezultat delovanja engleskog jezika, već nedovoljno naučenih aspekata srpskog jezika ili unutrašnjih tendencija u srpskom jeziku u matici i utvrđene su sličnosti i razlike u upotrebi jezika između dve ispitivane pogdrupe mlađe generacije govornika serbliša.Disertacije je podeljena u pet poglavlja. U prvom, uvodnom poglavlju dat je prikaz teme i ciljeva istraživanja i objašnjenje osnovnih termina. Drugo poglavlje daje prikaz teorijskih postavki istraživanja i pregled preovlađujućih stavova u literaturi. Metodi istraživanja, profil ispitanika, etički aspekti istraživanja, jezik na kojem je istraživanje vođeno, kao i prikupljanje i obrada podataka za korpus predstavljaju se u trećem poglavlju. U četvrtom poglavlju daje se analiza korpusa i diskusija dobijenih rezultata. U poslednjem, petom poglavlju daju se zaključna razmatranja sa rekapitulacijom rezultata istraživanja i implikacijama za dalja istraživanja.This dissertation focuses on a linguistic and extralinguistic description of the Serbian-English or English-Serbian hybrid language Serblish as used by the younger generation of the Serbian diaspora in Vancouver. It encompasses the domains of contact and contrastive linguistics, sociolinguistics psycholinguistics and pragmatics and analyeses and describes this language variety at the morphosyntactic, lexical (semantic and pragmatic), phonological and graphological levels.Numerous studies of language contact from the linguistic, sociolinguistic, pragmatic and psycholinguistic aspects conducted around the world, as well as in the former Yugoslavia and in Serbia form the theoretical framework of this dissertation.The first stage of the research was a pilot research of written sources in the Serbian language in Vancouver, the most important and extensive being the Kišobran newspaper published in Vancouver over 15 years (from 1997 to 2012). The data obtained in this pilot study formed the basis for creating a questionnaire to be used in the second stage of the research.The analysis and description of Serblish as a variety of the Serbian language is based on the material obtained in the second stage of the research through interviews with bilingual research participants and through a questionnaire filled out by the participants. The collected material was analyzed, and the properties of this variety are presented in the corresponding chapters for each linguistic level. Finally, conclusions were drawn about the properties of Serblish as used by the younger generations of immigrants, the intensity and ways of the influence of English in the given language contact situation were specified, cases were determined where the observed changes are not a result of English influence, but stem from imperfect learning or from internally motivated changes in the Serbian language in the home country, and similarities and differences in the use of the language between the two generations were determined.This dissertation is divided into five chapters. The first, introductory chapter outlines the topic and goals of the research, as well as introducing the basic terminology. The second chapter presents the theoretical framework of the research and reviews the prevailing perspectives in the literature. Research methods, profile of the research participants, ethical issues and language mode in the research, as well as gathering and processing the corpus material are presented in the third chapter. The focus of the the fourth chapter is an analysis of the corpus and a discussion of the obtained results. The final, fifth chapter provides concluding remarks, summarizing the research findings and outlining implications for further research.

Full textAbstract:
The present study investigates the effect of furigana on lexical inferencing. After completing a pretest to determine their knowledge of the target words, participants read a passage and completed a think-aloud protocol and questionnaire. The experimental group read a passage with furigana over all kanji words while the control group read a passage without furigana. The protocols were evaluated to determine the rate and quality of lexical inferences of 16 target kanji words. The results of the questionnaire were evaluated to determine participant perception of passage and kanji difficulty, self-assessed percentage of the story that was understood, and the degree to which they liked the story. It was found that the group with furigana made more correct inferences than the control group. It was also found that the furigana group perceived the kanji in the passage to be easier than the control group did. Furigana did not seem to affect the degree to which the participants liked the story, their perception of the difficulty of the story or the percentage of the story that they understood. Implications for theory and pedagogy are discussed.

U eksperimantalnom postupku disertacije miševi NMRI soja su tretirani infuzom biljke Aristolochia clematitis. Sasušeni listovi, grane i plodovi biljke potopljeni su u ključalu vodu i ostavljeni 3-5 sati da stoje, a potom su profiltrirani kroz filter papir. Pravljen je rastvor biljke/vode od 10g/ 1000ml (1%), 20g/ 1000ml (2%) i 40g/ 1000ml (4%). Različite koncentracije infuza su date miševima da piju u neograničenoj količini u periodu od 7 nedelja. Tako su formirane tri ispitne grupe, prva koja je primala 1% infuz, druga 2% infuz i treća 4% infuz i kontrolna grupa koja je dobijala samo vodu da pije. U svakoj grupi je bilo 20 životinja. Tako je razvijen animalni model hronične toksičnosti. Na kraju eksperimenta je urađena patohistološka analiza bubrega, makroskopski pregled organa i merenje diureze tokom trajanja eksperimenta. Urađena je kompletna analiza urina koja podrazumeva utvrđivanje: boje, izgleda, pH, specifične težine, proteina i sedimenta urina. Analize urina ponavljane su na svakih 7 dana u toku 7 nedelja istraživanja. Na kraju eksperimenta urađena je analiza biohemijskih parametara (glukoza, urea, kreatinin, mokraćna kiselina, ukupni bilirubin, direktni bilirubin, ukupni tj. totalni proteini, natrijum i kalijum) i analiza kompletne krvne slike. Utvrđeno je da je Aristolochia clematitis izrazito nefrotoksična biljka. Utvrđene su patohistološke promene tubula i intersitcijuma NMRI miša, koje su bile najveće u ispitnoj grupi koja je primala najaču dozu. Ustanovljene patohistološke promene su slične opisanim patohistološkim promenama tubulointersticijuma bolesnika obolelih od Balkanske endemske nefropatije. Nije ustanovljeno postojanja karcinoma gornjeg urotrakta. Makroskopskim pregledom prilikom obdukcije eksperimentalnih životinja nisu ustanovljene značajnije promene bubrega. Došlo je prvo do izrazitog porasta diureze u prvoj, odnosno drugoj nedelji praćenja, kod druge i treće eksperimentalne grupe, da bi nakon 7 nedelja istaživanja diureza u svim ispitnim grupama bila manja od kontrolne grupe. Postoji porast ureje na kraju istraživanja, koji je dvostruko veći u trećoj eksperimentalnoj grupi u odnosu na kontrolnu. Postoji izrazit pad mokraćne kiseline na kraju istraživanja kod eksperimentalne grupe 3. Postoji izrazit pad granulocita u leukocitarnoj formuli u svim ispitnim grupama, a najveći je u trećoj ispitnoj grupi. Kako je došlo do pada relativnih vrednosti granulocita, tako je došlo do porasta relativnih vrednosti limfocita u prvoj i drugoj ispitnoj grupi. U trećoj ispitnoj grupi je pad granulocita praćen izrazito velikim povećanjem relativnog broja bazofilnih granulocita. Postoji značajan pad specifične težine urina na kraju istraživanja u drugoj i trećoj eksperimentalnoj grupi. Proteinurija je bila čest nalaz svim eksperimentalnim grupama, dok je bila odsutna ili samo u tragu u kontrolnoj grupi. Na kraju eksperimenta je utvrđen znatni porast broja kristala fosfata u eksperimentalnim grupama. Cilindri su se pojavljivali samo u nalazu urina u trećoj ispitnoj grupi. Najveći broj promena urina je utvrđen u trećoj eksperimentlanoj grupi.In the experimental procedure of dissertation, NMRI strain mice were treated with infusion of plants Aristolochia clematitis. Dried leaves, branches and fruit plants are submerged in boiling water and left to stand for 3-5 hours, and then filtered through filter paper. It was made a solution of the plant / water of 10g / 1000ml (1%), 20g / 1000ml (2%) and 40g / 1000ml (4%). Different concentrations of infusions were given to mice to drink an unlimited amount for a period of 7 weeks. So we formed the three test groups, the first who received 1% infusion, the second received 2% infusion and third received 4% infusion and a control group that received only water to drink. In each group there were 20 animals. Thus, developed an animal model of chronic toxicity. At the end of the experiment was performed histopathological analysis of kidneys, macroscopic examination of organs and measuring urine output during the experiment. We performed a complete analysis of urine, which is the determination of: color, appearance, pH, specific gravity, protein and urine sediment. Urinalysis were repeated every 7 days during the 7 weeks of the study. At the end of the experiment were analyzed for biochemical parameters (glucose, urea, creatinine, uric acid, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, total proteins, sodium and potassium) and analysis of the complete blood count. It has been found that Aristolochia clematitis is extremely nephrotoxic plant. Identified histopathological changes of tubules and interstitium of NMRI mouse, which were the biggest in the test group receiving biggest dose. Established histopathological changes are similar to those described by pathological changes of tubulointerstitial injury of patients with Balkan endemic nephropathy. Not established the existence of cancer of the upper urinary tract. Macroscopic examination at autopsy of experimental animals, did not determine significant changes in the kidneys. There is first an enormous increase in diuresis in the first and second week of follow-up, in the second and third experimental groups retrospectively, that after 7 weeks of research, diuresis in all test groups was lower than the control group. There is an increase of urea at the end of the research, which is twice higher in the third experimental group compared to the control. There is a marked decrease in uric acid at the end of the research in the experimental group 3. There is a marked decrease in granulocytes in the leukocyte formula in all test groups, and the highest in the third test group. As the decline in the relative values of granulocytes, so there has been a rise in the relative values of lymphocite in the first and second test group. In the third test group, granulocyte drop was accompanied by a extremely large increase in the relative number of basophils. There is a significant drop in specific gravity of urine at the end of the research in the second and third experimental group. Proteinuria is a common finding to all experimental groups, while it was absent or only in traces in the control group. At the end of the experiment was determined to increase significantly the number of phosphate crystals in the experimental groups. The cylinders have appeared only in the urine in the third test group. The greatest number of changes in the urine is determined in the third experimental group.

Имајући у виду значај површинских вода у продору и ширењу страних инвазивних врста, циљеви овог рада били су да се представи актуелно стање присуства и дистрибуције акватичних инвазивних биљних врста у површинским копненим водама, анализира степен инвазије рипаријалних зона на подручју Србије, одреди везаност анализираних инвазивнихврста за поједине типове станишта у рипаријалу река и канала и анализира утицај различитих станишних и антропогених фактора на присуство и абунданцу 26 одабраних инвазивних таксона. Теренска истраживања вршена су у периоду од 2013. до 2016. године. За потребе овог рада анализирано је 250 локалитета, од чега 217 у рипаријалу 39 река и 33 у рипаријалу шестдеоница канала хидросистема Дунав-Тиса-Дунав. Уз податке о бројности ипокровности заступљених биљних врста, сакупљани су и подаци о типу станишта (у складу са EUNIS класификацијом), релевантним физичким ихидроморфолошким карактеристикама истраживаних водотокова и доминантним антропогеним утицајима на истраживаном локалитету (у складу са стандардним протоколом RHS методе). Статистичка обрада података вршена је у софтверу CANOCO 5.0, применом анализе главних компоненти (РСА), канонијскe коресподентнe анализе (CCA) и анализе редундантности (RDA). На територији Србије забележено је присуство осам акватичних инвазивних биљних врстаПрема броју налаза истичу се врсте Vallisneria spiralis, Azolla filiculoides и Elodea nuttallii. Примарно су заступљене у текућим,у односу на стајаће воде, при чему се мрежа канала ХС ДТД и речни токови који припадају сливу Дунава могу сматрати основним акватичним коридорима њиховог ширења. Од 26 таксона инвазивних биљака чије је присуство праћено и анализирано у рипаријалним подручјима, таксони санајвећим бројем налаза су Xanthium strumarium subsp. italicum, Amorpha fruticosa, Erigeron canadensis, Robinia pseudoacacia и Echinochloa crus-galli. Речни сливови Дунава, Јужне Мораве, Западне Мораве и Тимока истичу се по заступљености истраживаних таксона. На основу података о дистрибуцији, бројности и покровности анализираних таксона сливови Дунава, Колубаре и Западне Мораве издвојили су се као коридори ширења највећег бројаистраживаних таксона. Четири типа станишта издвојила су се премазаступљености инвазивних биљних врста. Таксони који су забележени у највећем броју типова станишта су: Amorpha fruticosa, Erigeron canadensis, Robinia pseudoacacia, Echinochloa crus-galli и Xanthium strumarium subsp. italicum. Као резултат нумеричких анализа издвојени су физички ихидроморфолошки параметри истраживаних водотокова и доминантни антропогени утицаји који на истраживаном локалитетима утичу на присуство и абунданцу анализираних таксона. У условима глобалних климатских промена може се очекивати да ће се у наредном периоду под снажним притиском ширења и доминације инвазивних врста наћи сливови Саве, Велике Мораве и Јужне Мораве. У рипаријалним областима на југозападу наше земље (долине Лима, Ибра и њихових притока) као и рипаријалним зонама планинских и високопланинских области такође је очекивано да ће доћи до повећања броја присутних инвазивних врста и њиховог даљег ширења.Imajući u vidu značaj površinskih voda u prodoru i širenju stranih invazivnih vrsta, ciljevi ovog rada bili su da se predstavi aktuelno stanje prisustva i distribucije akvatičnih invazivnih biljnih vrsta u površinskim kopnenim vodama, analizira stepen invazije riparijalnih zona na području Srbije, odredi vezanost analiziranih invazivnihvrsta za pojedine tipove staništa u riparijalu reka i kanala i analizira uticaj različitih stanišnih i antropogenih faktora na prisustvo i abundancu 26 odabranih invazivnih taksona. Terenska istraživanja vršena su u periodu od 2013. do 2016. godine. Za potrebe ovog rada analizirano je 250 lokaliteta, od čega 217 u riparijalu 39 reka i 33 u riparijalu šestdeonica kanala hidrosistema Dunav-Tisa-Dunav. Uz podatke o brojnosti ipokrovnosti zastupljenih biljnih vrsta, sakupljani su i podaci o tipu staništa (u skladu sa EUNIS klasifikacijom), relevantnim fizičkim ihidromorfološkim karakteristikama istraživanih vodotokova i dominantnim antropogenim uticajima na istraživanom lokalitetu (u skladu sa standardnim protokolom RHS metode). Statistička obrada podataka vršena je u softveru CANOCO 5.0, primenom analize glavnih komponenti (RSA), kanonijske korespodentne analize (CCA) i analize redundantnosti (RDA). Na teritoriji Srbije zabeleženo je prisustvo osam akvatičnih invazivnih biljnih vrstaPrema broju nalaza ističu se vrste Vallisneria spiralis, Azolla filiculoides i Elodea nuttallii. Primarno su zastupljene u tekućim,u odnosu na stajaće vode, pri čemu se mreža kanala HS DTD i rečni tokovi koji pripadaju slivu Dunava mogu smatrati osnovnim akvatičnim koridorima njihovog širenja. Od 26 taksona invazivnih biljaka čije je prisustvo praćeno i analizirano u riparijalnim područjima, taksoni sanajvećim brojem nalaza su Xanthium strumarium subsp. italicum, Amorpha fruticosa, Erigeron canadensis, Robinia pseudoacacia i Echinochloa crus-galli. Rečni slivovi Dunava, Južne Morave, Zapadne Morave i Timoka ističu se po zastupljenosti istraživanih taksona. Na osnovu podataka o distribuciji, brojnosti i pokrovnosti analiziranih taksona slivovi Dunava, Kolubare i Zapadne Morave izdvojili su se kao koridori širenja najvećeg brojaistraživanih taksona. Četiri tipa staništa izdvojila su se premazastupljenosti invazivnih biljnih vrsta. Taksoni koji su zabeleženi u najvećem broju tipova staništa su: Amorpha fruticosa, Erigeron canadensis, Robinia pseudoacacia, Echinochloa crus-galli i Xanthium strumarium subsp. italicum. Kao rezultat numeričkih analiza izdvojeni su fizički ihidromorfološki parametri istraživanih vodotokova i dominantni antropogeni uticaji koji na istraživanom lokalitetima utiču na prisustvo i abundancu analiziranih taksona. U uslovima globalnih klimatskih promena može se očekivati da će se u narednom periodu pod snažnim pritiskom širenja i dominacije invazivnih vrsta naći slivovi Save, Velike Morave i Južne Morave. U riparijalnim oblastima na jugozapadu naše zemlje (doline Lima, Ibra i njihovih pritoka) kao i riparijalnim zonama planinskih i visokoplaninskih oblasti takođe je očekivano da će doći do povećanja broja prisutnih invazivnih vrsta i njihovog daljeg širenja.
Bearing in mind the significance of inland surface waters for the introduction and spread of invasive alien species (IAS), the aims of this research were to present the contemporary records of aquatic invasive plant species in surface waters, analyse the level of invasion of riparian areas in Serbia, determine the habitat preferences of the analysed IAS and determine the effects of different habitat characteristics and anthropogenic influences on the presence and bundance of the 26 analysed invasive plants. Field research was conducted during the 2013-2016 period. A total of 250 field sites were analysed as part of this research, 217 in the riparian zones of 39 rivers and 33 in the riparian zones of six canal sections of the hydrosystem Danube-Tisa-Danube (HS DTD). In addition to data on the cover and abundance of the analysed plant species, data on habitat type (following the EUNIS classification), relevant physical and hydromorhological parameters of the studied watercourses and dominant anthropogenic influences an analysed field sites were recorded (following the standard RHS protocol). Statistical data analysis was done in CANOCO 5.0 software, using the principal component analysis (PCA), canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) and redundancy analysis (RDA). Eight aquatic invasive plant species were recorded for the territory of Serbia. Species with the highest number of records were: Vallisneria spiralis, Azolla filiculoides and Elodea nuttallii. They are primarily present in running, in comparison with standing waters, and the canal network of the HS DTD and rivers of the Danube catchment area are considered to be their main aquatic corridor of spread. Of the 26 invasive plant taxa whose presence was recorded and analysed in the riparian areas of Serbia,Xanthium strumarium subsp. italicum, Amorpha fruticosa, Erigeron canadensis, Robinia pseudoacacia and Echinochloa crus- galli were taxa with the highest number of records.Catchment areas of the Danube, Južna Morava, Zapadna Morava and Timok rivers were characterised by the highest levels of invasion. Based on their distribution data, cover and abundance of the analysed taxa, catchment areas of the Danube, Kolubara and Zapadna Morava rivers are highlighted as the main corridors of spread for the majority of the studied IAS. Four habitat types stand out by the number of analysed IAS. Taxa which were recorded in the highest number of habitat types are: Amorpha fruticosa, Erigeron canadensis, Robinia pseudoacacia, Echinochloa crus-galli and Xanthium strumarium subsp. italicum. A number of physical and hydromorphological parameters and dominant anthropogenic influences of the studied field sites were shown to affect the presence and abundance of the studied invasive plants. The catchment areas of the Sava, Velika Morava and Južna Morava rivers are excpected to be under a strong pressure of the spread and dominance of IAS unnder the conditions of global climate changes. Riparian areas in the southwestern parts of Serbia (valleys of Lim and Ibar rivers and their tributaries) and riparian zones in the mountain and high- mountain areas are also expected to experience an increase in the number of invasive species and their spread rates.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractUnlike Western languages, word segmentation is necessary for Japanese sentences because they do not have word boundaries. The performances of existing morphological analyzers for Japanese sentences are very high. However, it is difficult to segment sentences mostly written in Hiragana, which is a Japanese writing system simpler than Kanji, because clues to segment the sentences decrease. In this study, we created a word segmentation model of Hiragana sentences using two types of BERT: unigram and bigram BERT models. We pre-trained the BERT models with Wikipedia and fine-tuned them with the core data of the Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese for word segmentation. In addition to the two types of BERT-based word segmentation systems, we developed a word segmentation system for Hiragana sentences using KyTea, a toolkit developed for analyzing text, with a focus on languages requiring word segmentation. We compared them in word segmentation of Hiragana sentences. The experiments revealed that the unigram BERT-based word segmentation system outperformed the bigram BERT-based word segmentation system and the KyTea-based word segmentation system.

Full textAbstract:
This paper reports on a specific cognitive behavior often found when trying to understand a text not written in readers’ native language. Our research group conducted a questionnaire survey to examine Japanese readers’ cognitive behavior and awareness when reading English texts. We also conducted a factor analysis on this questionnaire to identify the behaviors often found when reading English. Participants were 56 Japanese students studying engineering at Chuo University. After reading the texts, a questionnaire consisting of 43 items was applied to the participants. We used exploratory factor analysis to identify the primary factors related to readers’ cognitive behavior and awareness when reading a non-native language. As a result of the analysis, mainly based on the highest contributing factors, it was suggested that readers may have made substitutions into Japanese, their own words, when reading the English texts. In other words, when reading a non-native language, the reader may read the texts by replacing them with their native language rather than comprehending it in that language. Based on the results of our experiment, it is expected that the research on the cognitive supporting systems may help readers to understand non-native languages quickly and smoothly.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, Japanese animation films have been attracting attention overseas. For example, "Blade of the Demon" was released in 2020 and became a massive hit in 45 countries and regions worldwide. Film posters are one of the influential advertising media for the release of a film. film posters are essential advertising media to influence the film box office, as they comprehensively express the contents and appeal of the film story in a single image. However, depending on where the film is released, the poster is changed into a different layout from the home country version. For example, the film poster of "Big Hero6" in Japan appealed to an emotional story, but in some other countries, the poster appealed to an action hero film. In this way, film posters were localized depending on the country where the film was released. According to previous studies on film posters, the Japanese and Americans had different perspectives in grasping the film stories even though the film was the same, reflected in the film posters. In addition, in a previous study conducted by our research team on film posters of Studio Ghibli of Japan, subjects' impressions differed significantly from the original Japanese poster version and re-produced others. However, even though the Japanese and Korean versions are very similar layouts and designs, the participants' impressions about these two posters differed due to the influence of the textual information. Therefore, this study evaluated the impressions of film posters with mosaic processing on the language part to eliminate the influence of the language information on the posters. As a result of the SD method's experiment, there was a negative correlation between the "Familiarity feeling" and the "Unique feeling" of the film posters. However, there was a positive correlation between the "Dynamism feeling" and the "Familiarity feeling" of the posters. Moreover, participants' impression about the mosaiced textual information of the Japanese and Korean versions was almost the same. That means textual information in a poster influences participants' impressions significantly. These results in this study will help future film posters production.

Full textAbstract:
Language and cultural shifts are the major causes of endangerment of any community, which begins from minor switching of practices and verbal repertoires and ends with a whole change of community, and finally culminates in the community losing its own identity. Language shift usually takes place in a bilingual or multilingual speech community. It is a social phenomenon, whereby one language replaces another in a given society due to underlying changes in the composition and aspirations of the society. This process transitions from speaking the old to the new language. This is not fully a structural change caused by the dynamics of the old language as a system. The new language is adopted as a result of contact with another language community. The term language shift excludes language change which can be seen as an evolution, and hence the transition from older to newer forms of the same language. Contact between two or more cultures often leads to different sociological processes such as acculturation, cultural change, cultural genocide, and cultural shift. Cultural shift occurs when a community gives up its own socio-cultural practices like customs, rituals and traditional beliefs, and is characterized by changes in cultural symbols, rules of behavior, social organizations, or value systems. It differs from the process of cultural change in which a community’s culture can evolve independently. Shifts may take place at the level of an individual speaker who gradually forgets or shifts to another language and consequently this language spreads to an entire community. This phenomenon can be seen among the Aranadans, a primitive tribal community found mainly in the Malappuram district and in other Northern districts such as Kasargode and Kannur of Kerala, owing to their irreverence towards the preservation of their own language and culture. The socio-ecological, psychological and educational factors impact their language and cultural shifts. This paper illustrates and clarifies the reasons for the language and cultural shifts of the Aranadan tribal community.

Full textAbstract:
The value of diversity in education is highly emphasized in recent years, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, by many scholars. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have aided the evolution of online learning by broadening the range of learning opportunities available. They have gained popularity, especially in higher education by providing unlimited access to lectures and rich learning materials by renowned and respected academics in a wide variety of areas, with no restrictions and at very low fees. Furthermore, learners' motivations for enrolling in a MOOC may vary depending on their choices for the course's instructional design as well as their emotions.
Knowing this, the development of more effective online courses that address affective concerns would appeal to a wider audience and improve the learning experience. This research aims to uncover the emotional characteristics of MOOCs to better understand why learners choose a specific course among hundreds of options available on MOOC sites. For extracting the learners' emotions from user reviews, the study used Kansei Engineering approach, which is enhanced with text analytics techniques. The research methodology entails gathering reviews from MOOCs and analyzing them using natural language processing (NLP) techniques to discover Kansei words that characterize MOOCs, notably for courses in the discipline of Data Science. The expected output of this study is a Kansei corpus for online courses in this discipline.
