Abstract:

Language, as a complex and dynamic system, serves as a cornerstone of human communication. However, within the intricate tapestry of linguistic diversity, there exist gaps and lacunae that pose challenges to effective communication and understanding. This article explores the lacuna problems in linguistics, delves into their causes, and proposes potential solutions to bridge these gaps.

Abstract:

This paper explores the pivotal role of intersubjectivity in shaping the historical and scientific cognition of Chinese linguistics. It examines how shared understanding and mutual comprehension, facilitated through social interactions and communication, have influenced both traditional scholarship and modern approaches to studying the Chinese language. The paper traces the intersubjective foundations laid by pioneering scholars like Fang Yi-zhi, the integration of Western linguistic theories in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the interdisciplinary connections with fields like genetics and cognitive science in recent decades. It also discusses how contemporary advancements in computational linguistics and AI have fostered intersubjective dialogues and collective meaning-making. The synthesis of insights across disciplines highlights the collaborative nature of linguistic research and the importance of conceptualizing language as a dynamic, interactive process. Ultimately, the paper demonstrates how intersubjectivity has enabled the continuous evolution of Chinese linguistic scholarship by integrating historical context with modern scientific methodologies.

Abstract:

Drawing on the rich tradition of investigations into linguistic inequality, this paper seeks to define the phenomenon of pretextual gaps, i.e. socially anchored and often invisible differences between what is expected in communication and what people can bring and deploy in communication. Pretextual gaps refer to conditions on sayability, differential distribution of access to these conditions, and social evaluations attached to such differences. We shall investigate pretextual gaps in three sets of data, all of them instances of experiential narration: Asylum seekers’ narratives, hand-written life histories from Shaba, Congo, and narratives of suffering produced during the hearings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa. We will attempt to demonstrate how a fine-grained discourse analysis focused on linguistic resources and models of deployment can refine existing views on linguistic inequality.

Abstract:

This article examines recent scientific studies on Chinese-Uzbek cross-linguistics, focusing on studies of euphemism and lacuna phenomena in both languages. Modern Chinese and Uzbek linguistics focus on the study of the language, particularly the lexicon, from a semantic, linguistic, and cultural perspective. The origins of household euphemisms in Chinese and Uzbek languages and the conceptual framework in which euphemisms are manifested were determined, and through the linguistic and cultural study of household euphemisms, conclusions were drawn about the distinctive and similar aspects of the worldviews of the two peoples. Identification, classification, and systematization of lacuna varieties were also addressed. The gaps in the Chinese and Uzbek languages are categorized thematically and analyzed. The methods for filling in and eradicating translation gaps are determined.

Abstract:

The study identifies translation strategies and linguistic gaps in translated photo captions and cartoons in the Rising Nepal and the Kathmandu Post from their Nepalese equivalent, the Gorkhapatra and the Kantipur national dailies. The researcher considered 55 photo captions (20 each) from The Rising Nepal and The Kathmandu Post and 15 cartoon captions from the Kathmandu Post. The study uncovered three translation strategies as literal, free and paraphrasing where literal and free translation were equally found and paraphrasing, the least found strategy. There were not any paraphrasing in cartoon section. The three linguistic gaps - phonological, lexical and structural gaps were found in all three sections: the Rising Nepal, the Kathmandu Post and The Cartoons while phonological gaps were found in sound level, lexical into words level and the structural into the sentence level. Since no two languages are similar and linguistic gaps are inevitable, the researcher found the use of the nearest equivalent terms to fulfill these gaps. Findings of this study will contribute to the language pedagogy, further research including journalists, editors and publishers, translation professionals as it gives a synopsis of translation strategies employed by a translator with clear understanding on linguistic gaps in translation.

Abstract:

Generativist pragmatists and discourse grammarians both subscribe to a functional view of language, but they do not agree on the nature of pragmatic principles. Prince (1988a,b) has argued that form-function correlations are arbitrary and language specific. Discourse grammarians have argued that pragmatic, and even grammatical rules, emerge out of universal, natural and predictable extralinguistic pressures. I will argue that although the distribution of gaps and resumptive pronouns in relative clauses seems arbitrary and language specific, one cognitively-based form-function principle governs their distribution. Relative clauses where the head is highly accessible when the relativized position is processed take gaps, whereas relative clauses which maintain a relatively low degree of accessibility of the head when the relativized position is processed take resumptive pronouns. The differences between languages are then attributed to language-specific grammaticization processes, rather than to different motivations and/or discoursal patterns.

Abstract:

In recent years, continuing advances in technology have increased the capacity to automate the extraction of a range of linguistic features of texts and thus have provided the impetus for the substantial growth of corpus linguistics. While corpus linguistic tools and methods have been used extensively in second language learning research, they have also been used increasingly in the design and validation of language assessments (Callies & Götz, 2015; Deshors, Götz, & Laporte, 2016; Park, 2014). The collection of papers in this special issue represents an intentional and systematic effort to encourage the cross-pollination of corpus linguistics and language assessment. The research foci of these papers take this cross-disciplinary area in exciting, new directions. At the same time, the papers also point to some important gaps and provide inspiration for additional research. In this commentary, I offer some perspectives on how the papers contribute to this cross-disciplinary research area and then share my reflections on some of the gaps that need to be narrowed or closed if language testing researchers and practitioners are to take full advantage of the potential of corpus linguistics for language assessment.

No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 2709686 bytes, checksum: 972411d4415db11a6a470c2b58219f77 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-05-05<br>The main objective of this study was to evaluate the existence of phonetic characteristics of speech read by male speakers that can be used to identify them as having a "gay" or a heterosexual orientation. Thus, two groups were constituted, bringing together 14 informants from the city of Recife-PE. In the first group, 7 individuals, who declared themselves gays, were investigated; In the second, the other 7, self-declared heterosexuals. In order to better understand the phonetic characteristics, the audio recording of the voice of these men was subjected to tests of perception and later judged by hearers lay judges. As a specific objective, it was sought to investigate which acoustic clues, such as phrasal aspects and vowel and consonant sounds, could contribute to the fact that the listener's lay judges, non-specialists belonging to the area of Linguistics or corresponding, could attribute values to the sexual orientation of the 14 informants. The lay judges were allocated into three groups: a group of 25 gay men; A group of 25 heterosexual men; And a group consisting exclusively of 25 women whose sexual orientation was unknown. Another objective was to verify the efficiency of each of these three different groups of evaluating judges to identify the sexual orientation of the 14 informants, subdivided into the two groups. As theoretical basis for the thesis, the theoretical assumptions of Variationist Sociolinguistics (LABOV, 1972, 1974, 1982, 1994) and Eckert (1989, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2010, 2012) were used and, for the analysis of the perception were used Gaudio (1994); Smyth, Jacobs and Rogers (2003); Levon (2007); Campbell-Kibler (2011); Lopes (2012) and Tracy, Bainter and Santariano (2015). In the research, significant differences in the duration of the seven tonic oral vowels /a/, /Ɛ/, /e/, /i/, /Ɔ/, /o/, /u/ produced by gay informants were found, especially in the mid near front /e/ and / Ɛ/ and in the central open low /a/. Differences, were also found in the fricative /s/ when in the final coda position, the productions of the group of gay men were longer than that of heterosexuals group. About the formants, the mean of F1 and F2 production of gay men were considerably higher than those of heterosexuals in all vowels, especially about the values of /i/, /Ɛ/, /e/ and /a/. Therefore, among the gay speakers, there was wider opening of the mandible and anterioration of the tongue in the production of the vowels. Significantly greater averages of pitch variability among gay informants were also verified. In most aspects, the averages of homosexual informants, whose were part of the research, were closer to the averages of gay informants participating in English-language surveys than the averages presented by the heterosexual informants. Thus, due to the similarities found in the results of some surveys, obtained among English and Portuguese speaking gay men, it seems plausible to affirm that there are some universal typical aspects that characterize a so-called "gay speech".<br>O presente trabalho teve por objetivo principal avaliar a existência de características fonéticas de falas lidas por falantes do sexo masculino que podem ser usadas para identifica-los como de orientação sexual “gay” ou heterossexual. Para isso, foram constituídos dois grupos, reunindo 14 informantes da cidade de Recife-PE. No primeiro, grupo, foram investigados 7 indivíduos, que se autodeclararam gays; no segundo, os outros 7, autodeclarados heterossexuais. Para melhor compreender as características fonéticas, o registro em áudio da voz desses homens foi submetido a testes de percepção e, posteriormente, julgado por ouvintes juízes leigos. Como objetivo específico, procurou-se investigar quais pistas acústicas, tais como aspectos frasais e sons de vogais e consoantes, poderiam contribuir para que os ouvintes juízes leigos, participantes não especialistas pertencentes à área de Linguística ou correlata, pudessem atribuir valores à orientação sexual dos 14 informantes. Os juízes leigos foram alocados em três grupos: um grupo formado por 25 homens gays; um grupo formado por 25 homens heterossexuais; e um grupo formado exclusivamente por 25 mulheres, cujas orientações sexuais nos eram desconhecidas. Outro objetivo foi verificar o grau de eficiência de cada um desses três diferentes grupos de juízes avaliadores, para identificar a orientação sexual dos 14 informantes, subdivididos nos dois grupos. Como base teórica para a tese, foram utilizados os pressupostos teóricos da Sociolinguística Variacionista (LABOV, 1972; 1974; 1982; 1994) e Eckert (1989, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2010, 2012) e, para análise dos testes de percepção foram utilizados Gaudio (1994); Smyth, Jacobs e Rogers (2003); Levon (2007); Campbell-Kibler (2011); Lopes (2012) e Tracy, Bainter e Santariano (2015). Na pesquisa foram encontradas diferenças significativas na duração das sete vogais orais tônicas, /a/, /Ɛ/, /e/, /i/, /Ɔ/, /o/, /u/ produzidas pelos informantes gays, principalmente nas vogais médias anteriores /e/ e / Ɛ/ e na baixa central /a/. Diferenças, também, foram encontradas na fricativa /s/ quando em posição de coda final, sendo as produções do grupo de homens gays mais duradouras que a dos heterossexuais. Com relação aos formantes, as médias de produção de F1 e F2 dos homens gays foram consideravelmente mais altas que as dos heterossexuais em todas as vogais, especialmente com relação aos valores de /i/, /Ɛ/, /e/ e /a/. Portanto, entre os falantes gays, houve maior abertura da mandíbula e anteriorização da língua na produção das vogais. Médias consideravelmente maiores de variabilidade do pitch dos informantes gays também foram verificadas. Na maioria dos aspectos, as médias dos informantes homossexuais brasileiros utilizados na pesquisa aproximaram-se mais das médias dos informantes gays participantes de pesquisas em língua inglesa do que das médias apresentadas pelos informantes heterossexuais. Assim, devido às semelhanças encontradas nos resultados de algumas pesquisas entre homens gays falantes de língua inglesa e os aqui obtidos, pode-se supor, sem tentar generalizar, que existem aspectos da fala que caracterizam uma chamada “fala gay’.

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates the parsing of filler-gap dependencies in French, more specifically those found in the restrictive relative construction. The primary goal of this research is to examine a question raised by Stowe (1984; 1986) concerning whether the parser has access to islandhood knowledge. Stowe's (1984;1986) results are compatible with the view that this type of grammatical information is readily accessible for the parser's initial analysis. However, her results are ambiguous since in her study, islandhood was confounded with subject position, where she failed to find gap-location effect. This study will examine the CNP-constraint in object position. A second goal is to examine whether the parsing mechanism postulates a gap in any potential position or only when the position is also a potential end of the sentence. Most of the experiments in the field use sentences where false gaps are located in a position which can correspond to a potential end of a sentence. Thus, the "surprise" effect attributed to false gap filling could also be attributed to the parsing mechanism finding that it did not reach the end of the sentence as expected. This dissertation provides evidence compatible with the view that island constraints, in this case the Complex NP constraint, are readily available to the parser; however, it also provides indications that the potential end of the sentence effect is a factor which has to be considered in identifying a gap location.

Abstract:

Oil and Gas companies have the inevitable need to operate in a global environment and therefore have a global reach. This thesis seeks to understand the nature and degree of localisation of the websites in this industry. This thesis introduces two notions of ‘global’, and seeks to examine the relationship between them: the first of which is the Global reach or operations of companies and the second is where a company’s communication is localised in language and cultural terms. A company can be seen to be ‘global’ in one of these two notions and it is this relationship that this thesis seeks to explore. The contribution of this thesis firstly, is that it adds to previous studies of website localisation, which have focused primarily on consumer goods and the retail industry, by examining a different kind of industry. Secondly, it takes into account the important semiotic and symbolic dimensions of language and culture when looking at localisation practices. The thesis thus contributes to the growing literature on website localisation and practices in Multinational companies. This study was carried out on 387 corporate and country specific websites of 16 Oil and Gas Companies to understand the extent and nature of their localisation practises particularly the way that language and culture are presented. The websites were studied using a qualitative and quantitative research design which involved carrying out a linguistic/semiotic analysis and a cultural analysis to give a balanced perspective of localisation practices. The conclusions of the study were that the companies operated a ‘glocal’ strategy, a combination of both a localised and a globalised (standardised) strategy. The companies had a combination of globally standardised features such as the website layouts, images, colour schemes, logos and the use of global celebrities on their websites and a limited degree of localisation where the ‘local’ is signified by local country websites, local news stories, local languages, local celebrities, images of local sights, images of company’s local office buildings and local petrol stations.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates, within a Government-Binding framework, the licensing mechanisms which regulate the distribution of sentence-internal constituents. It is proposed that the licensing requirements apply across components, in the spirit of the Projection Principle of Chomsky (1981). Under the extended view of licensing proposed here ("Universal Licensing"), maximal projections must comply with the appropriate licensing requirements at every syntactic level of representation.<br>This allows for a more constrained model of grammar, under which a number of facts follow in a principled way; this is the case particularly with respect to constructions involving null operators. Thus, from the D- and S-Structure conditions on null operator licensing, we derive the cross-linguistic as well as the language-internal distribution of resumptive pronouns. Furthermore, some of the well-known, but so far stipulated, constraints on parasitic gap (PG) constructions are shown to follow from general principles: we explain for instance the fact that PGs must be sanctioned at S-Structure, as well as the inability of adjunct movement to license PGs.<br>The consequences of Universal Licensing on the distribution of PGs are examined with particular reference to adnominal PGs in French genitival relatives. It is shown that the properties displayed by these little-studied ("double dont") constructions, in conjunction with the Universal Licensing Principle, shed significant light on a number of issues, among which the thematic structure of nominals, and the nature of the locality constraints on null operator identification.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract. This thesis will study language variation present in Scots through the lens of Irvine Welsh’s novel Trainspotting using a cross-linguistic analysis that compares Scots with Standard English. It will look at the lexical, grammatical, and phonological elements and identify reasons behind certain types of variation. The thesis seeks to create a basis for further study into Scots, as well as for the usability of Variational Pragmatics in the study of written language. The theory is an amalgamation of two pioneering fields of linguistics research, pragmatics and dialectology, through which the analysis seeks to attain a perspective of language as a communicative tool, as well as a measure of society. Salience is defined as the reason for language variation, alongside speech acts which alter the language through its utilization in discourse between the characters, and within context. The thesis also highlights the importance of context and background information, together with individual forms in language variation.Tiivistelmä. Tässä kandidaatintutkielmassa tarkastellaan kielenvaihtelua skotin kielessä Irvine Welshin romaanissa Trainspotting käyttäen monitieteellistä analyysia. Kieltä verrataan englannin yleiskieleen, jonka sanastoa, kielioppia sekä fonologisia piirteitä tarkastellaan kielellisen variaation syiden havainnoimiseksi. Tutkielma pyrkii luomaan perustan syvemmällä skotin kielen tarkastelulle sekä testaamaan variaatiopragmatiikan soveltuvuutta kirjoitetun tekstin tarkasteluun. Variaatiopragmatiikka on kahden kielitieteen uraauurtavan teorian yhdistelmä: pragmatiikan ja murteentutkimuksen, jonka kautta analyysi pyrkii muodostamaan kuvauksen kielestä kommunikaatiovälineenä, sekä yhteiskunnan kuvaajana. Huomattavuusmallia sovelletaan yhdessä puheaktiteorian kanssa, joita käytetään selityksenä puhetavalle keskustelussa. Tutkielma myös nostaa esille kontekstin ja yksilöllisten käytänteiden merkityksen kielenvaihtelussa.

Abstract:

The monograph is devoted to the study of the structural and semantic features of the terminological vocabulary of the oil and gas industry. The results of the interaction of different languages in this area are considered. The term-forming processes and structural types of lexical units of this terminology are described in some detail. The question of partial belonging of terms of the oil and gas sublanguage is studied, a review of Russian-French dictionaries of oil and gas terms is conducted. Being the most unique, this terminology continues to be one of the most complex and little-studied term systems to date. For students, postgraduates and teachers of philological universities and faculties, as well as a wide range of readers interested in non-gas terminology.

Abstract:

The policies relating to language pursued by European monarchies and states have been widely studied, but far less attention has been given to their linguistic and cultural policies in territories outside their own borders. This volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to filling that gap, distinguishing and analysing several different types of linguistic and foreign cultural policies. Such policies, the contributors show, tended not to be proclaimed officially, but they nonetheless had lasting effects on both language and culture in Europe and beyond.

Heritage languages, spoken by immigrant children or individuals who migrated at a young age, have garnered attention, particularly in the United States and Canada since the 1960s and 1970s, and later in Europe and elsewhere. However, despite approximately 4 million individuals with Vietnamese immigration backgrounds worldwide, research on the Vietnamese language has only spanned since the 2000s. This review assesses the current state of Vietnamese heritage language studies, identifying topics explored, their development, existing gaps, and potential research directions. It synthesizes diverse findings, highlighting recent focus areas on heritage language loss, maintenance, ideology, education, proficiency assessment, and linguistic characteristics. The review identifies limitations in existing literature and offers recommendations for addressing them.

Abstract:

Context: Linguists dedicate extensive time to annotating audiovisual media, where the efficiency of annotation tools significantly impacts their productivity. Existing tools, such as ELAN, are wellknown and widely used but present challenges due to their complex interfaces, especially for novice users. Solution: To overcome these challenges, we propose LAWS, a web-based linguistic annotation tool that emphasizes simplicity, intuitiveness, and a user-friendly interface to improve accessibility and usability for linguists. Methodology: The development of LAWS focused on streamlining access, handling, and documentation processes in linguistic annotation through a visually accessible web-based platform designed to reduce learning curves and enhance user experience. Results: LAWS offers a straightforward alternative to traditional tools, addressing usability gaps and providing linguists with an efficient, easy-to-navigate solution for their annotation tasks. Conclusions: By simplifying the linguistic annotation process, LAWS empowers linguists with an intuitive tool, promoting productivity and reducing the barriers associated with complex annotation software.

Abstract:

Research in the field of Language Attitudes and Social Perceptions have proven associations between a speaker’s accent, and listener’s perceptions of various aspects of their identity – intelligence, socio-economic background, race, region of origin, friendliness, etc. This paper seeks to critically analyze the methodology and theories in the field of accent perception through a review of existing research literature across various disciplines that have studied it. After reviewing Social Identity Theory, Prototype theory, and theories regarding Ethnolinguistic identity, it points out various knowledge gaps and limitations of methodologies previously used. It then studies the implications for future research, in various domains, proposing a new theoretical paradigm using mixed methods studies.

Thomas, Strobel. A contrastive approach to grammatical doubts in some contemporary Germanic languages (German, Dutch, Swedish). Goethe-Universität Frankfurt a.M., 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.21248/gups.72278.

Full text

Abstract:

Unquestionably (or: undoubtedly), every competent speaker has already come to doubt with respect to the question of which form is correct or appropriate and should be used (in the standard language) when faced with two or more almost identical competing variants of words, word forms or sentence and phrase structure (e.g. German "Pizzas/Pizzen/Pizze" 'pizzas', Dutch "de drie mooiste/mooiste drie stranden" 'the three most beautiful/most beautiful three beaches', Swedish "större än jag/mig" 'taller than I/me'). Such linguistic uncertainties or "cases of doubt" (cf. i.a. Klein 2003, 2009, 2018; Müller & Szczepaniak 2017; Schmitt, Szczepaniak & Vieregge 2019; Stark 2019 as well as the useful collections of data of Duden vol. 9, Taaladvies.net, Språkriktighetsboken etc.) systematically occur also in native speakers and they do not necessarily coincide with the difficulties of second language learners. In present-day German, most grammatical uncertainties occur in the domains of inflection (nominal plural formation, genitive singular allomorphy of strong masc./neut. nouns, inflectional variation of weak masc. nouns, strong/weak adjectival inflection and comparison forms, strong/weak verb forms, perfect auxiliary selection) and word-formation (linking elements in compounds, separability of complex verbs). As for syntax, there are often doubts in connection with case choice (pseudo-partitive constructions, prepositional case government) and agreement (especially due to coordination or appositional structures). This contribution aims to present a contrastive approach to morphological and syntactic uncertainties in contemporary Germanic languages (mostly German, Dutch, and Swedish) in order to obtain a broader and more fine-grained typology of grammatical instabilities and their causes. As will be discussed, most doubts of competent speakers - a problem also for general linguistic theory - can be attributed to processes of language change in progress, to language or variety contact, to gaps and rule conflicts in the grammar of every language or to psycholinguistic conditions of language processing. Our main concerns will be the issues of which (kinds of) common or different critical areas there are within Germanic (and, on the other hand, in which areas there are no doubts), which of the established (cross-linguistically valid) explanatory approaches apply to which phenomena and, ultimately, the question whether the new data reveals further lines of explanation for the empirically observable (standard) variation.

Full text

Abstract:

Climate change poses increasingly severe challenges to nations worldwide, with developing countries being the most vulnerable due to their lack of socio-economic resources for adaptation. When discussing climate change adaptation, outdoor workers, who are directly exposed to abnormal weather phenomena in their daily work, are the most vulnerable group in terms of health impacts. This working paper presents a systematic review of Vietnam-based literature on the health impacts of climate change on urban outdoor workers in Asia. By synthesising empirical evidence from Vietnam and comparing it with a parallel study of English-language research, we aim to identify potential gaps in the English-language literature regarding health impacts on precarious outdoor workers in Vietnamese megacities. Our search yielded four peer-reviewed articles and four doctoral dissertations studying the health effects of weather and climate change on outdoor workers. Seven of these were in Vietnamese language, and one was in English language published in a Vietnam-based journal. Despite expanding our search string to include publications across Asia, all eight studies we found focused on Vietnam. Our systematic review revealed that heat stress and air pollution emerged as the main climate-related health concerns for outdoor workers, causing heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and respiratory diseases. We found no comparative evidence on health vulnerabilities across different outdoor occupations, with studies largely examining formal sector workers and only one addressing informal workers. There was limited research on workers' adaptation strategies to extreme weather. Studies focused on employer-provided protective equipment, while individual coping mechanisms and government social support, particularly for informal workers, received little attention. This working paper contributes to the broader understanding of climate change impacts on vulnerable populations and highlights the importance of considering diverse linguistic and geographical perspectives in climate change research.

Abstract:

This paper examines the state of minority rights in Uzbekistan, focusing on three significant ethnic groups: Tajiks, Russians, and Koreans. It explores the historical context of these minorities, the cultural and linguistic challenges they face, socioeconomic issues, and their political representation. Under the authoritarian rule of Islam Karimov, Uzbekistan emphasized a unified Uzbek identity, often marginalizing minority cultures and languages. Despite President Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s reforms aimed at improving human rights, including the establishment of a Human Rights Ombudsman and the Development Strategy for 2017-2021, significant challenges remain. Legislative initiatives such as the draft Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of National Minorities and efforts to enhance cultural policies have had mixed success. This analysis highlights the need for comprehensive measures to ensure robust legal protections, equitable resource allocation, and genuine political inclusion for all ethnic minorities in Uzbekistan. The international community’s role in advocating for these rights is also discussed, emphasizing the gap between policy and practice in protecting minority rights in Uzbekistan.
