Topic: Archi language


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  The Red Book of the Peoples of the Russian Empire
Administratively, all the Archi villages belonged to the Archi village soviet, Charodin district, Dagestan ASSR.
The Archi family was strictly endogamous, and marriage between cousins was widespread.
To keep alive their language -- which is the main feature distinguishing the Archi from all other peoples -- the Archi need to develop a conscious, or even subconscious, resistance of the kind felt among Archi schoolchildren in the 1960s.

 Grammatical gender - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
For example, in the Caucasian language Archi the noun lo ("child") can take Masculine gender when it refers to a young boy, Feminine gender to denote a girl, and Neuter gender (normally used for inanimates), when the sex of child is unknown or irrelevant (Corbett 1994).
In many other languages, however, masculine and feminine are subsumed in the category of person, either generally, or only in the plural, as in the North Caucasian languages and some Dravidian languages.
In Indo-European languages that assign genders to all nouns, the genders often correspond roughly to declensions that govern the way the nouns are inflected.

 Caucasus Foundation
Along with the consonants that occur in all the Caucasian languages, the Abkhazo-Adyghian languages are characterized by different sets of labialized consonants (formed by rounding the lips), strong (hard or tense) consonants, half-hushing consonants, and velarized consonants (formed with the back of the tongue approaching the soft palate).
The consonant systems of the Nakh languages are relatively simple, coinciding, on the whole, with those of the South Caucasian languages (apart from a number of pharyngeal consonants characteristic of all the Nakh languages and a lateral sound peculiar to Bats).
All the Caucasian languages have a series of stops of three types--voiced, voiceless aspirated, and glottalized (i.e., pronounced, respectively, with vibrating vocal cords; with vocal cords not vibrating but with an accompanying audible puff of breath; and with accompanying closure of the glottis [space between the vocal cords]).

So God gave one language to several peoples, but all peoples refused to accept the most difficult language, which finally passed into the possession of the smallest people of the world, and that was the Archi people.
Most of Archis reside in the Charodi district of Daghestan in the settlement of Archi, or Arsha, which is in fact a conglomerate of eight settlements: Archi, Alchunib, Kalib, Kachalib, Keser, Kubatl, Khilil and Khittab.

Archi is remarkable both for linguistic reasons, and in terms of its cultural setting.
The culture of the Archi is one of the most distinctive and best-preserved cultures of Daghestan.
Archi was studied in the 1970s and a fine grammatical description was produced (written by Kibrik, Kodzasov, Samedov and collaborators), but there is very little available on lexical material.

 Language Debate in Derrida's Deconstruction by Prof. Rhod V. Nuncio
Language is then subservient to philosophizing; it is, all the more, a medium to communicate ideas through the ages.
The structuralists, from Saussure, Barthes to Levi-Strauss, delineated language as the reductionistic or absolutist explanation of all.
The language of debate therefore speaks of critique against the debate and the language used in the debate.

One example for such a language is Lojban, which is also interesting in that that while English demands a temporal tense but not a spatial tense, Lojban has no requirement for a temporal tense to be provided.
Extensive literature has been written about the Hopi language (the first to thoroughly explore whose peculiarity was Benjamin Lee Whorf), spoken by several tens of thousands Hopi in the north-east part of Arizona.
(Another language which has extensive spatial cases is the Archi language.) Although Worlf positited that the Hopi were unable to grasp the meaning of time as per English or German, it was later found that the Hopi used adverb-like objects to inject time in their sentences.

Another way that adults can contribute to a LEP student's language development is by offering feedback in the form of extending the question as presented by the child, expanding the provided chunk of language, paraphrasing the question to enhance meaning, and confirming the statements in a more completed sentence.
Language acquisition and the development of communicative competence depends on meaningful interaction with speakers of that language.
Therefore, acquiring a language requires the opportunity to use it in meaningful context with speakers of the language in a variety of situations.

 > The Committee on Endangered Languages and their Preservation (CELP) was
The Committee on Endangered Languages and their Preservation (CELP) was established by the Linguistic Society of America in 1992 in response to conce rns regarding accelerated language endangerment and loss, and an increasing interest in promoting strategies for reinforcing languages at risk of extinction in the near or long t erm.
CELP supports in principle the timely and far-sighted goals of establishing digital language data archives that are readily accessible to inte rested users, co-ordination among various archives, and the development of standard practices that will allow for greater uniformity (and consequently user-friendliness) of opera tions associated with data archives.
Data archi ves should be accessible in practice to language communities who have contributed data, or who might wish to use existing archives as models on which to base future archiving pro jects.

 The Udi language represents a marginal Lezgian (Southeast Caucasian) language
Udi (the local designation is udin muz ‘Udi(sh) language’) belongs to the Lezgian (or Southern) branch of the autochthonous East Caucasian language family.
In Okt’omberi, it is Georgian that plays the role of a language for ‘external’ communication, whereas Udi is retained by some 50 people in ‘internal’ communication (most of them are 50 years old and beyond).
Archi, another marginal language, was the first dialect to leave this continuum, lateron followed by what then became the Samur languages (Eastern Samur: Lezgi proper, Tabasaran, and Aghul), Western Samur (Rutul, Tskahur), Southern Samur (now in the Shah-Dagh mountains) (Kryts and Budukh).

 Geoffrey Bennington
Given the situation in which there is no source language from which to depart towards a target or arrival point (and so, strictly speaking, no translation), these 'arrival' languages are never quite arrived at either (insofar as they don't know their point of departure nor, therefore, where they are going).
In a dense passage we may have to reconstruct in a moment, Derrida claims that this situation (a multiplicity of languages, then, in a relation of translation in some sense, but not translating any one source language) – that this situation is originary, and that anything like a subject arises from it, secondarily.
If the source language, the first language, is not given, but is to be invented after the fact by the desire generated from the 'secondary' position of arrival, which is the position of the apparent contingency of events and situations, here that desire seems to be valorised, perhaps as a creative gesture.

 IMC-Cyprus (English language): Archi~Media: the mother of all IndyMedias
A revival of the ancient knowledge, culture, values and principles and all elements of the Hellenic civilization is underway in recent decades, accelerated in the twenty-first century and beginning to solidify into new organizations, scientific and spiritual practices, worldviews, lifestyles, cultural activities, studies, research, collective entities and individual quests of personal improvement.
The hellenic (greek) language branch of Cyprus IndyMedia is one of thos entities and it contributes a small part to those efforts in Cyprus and abroad.
It is a simple matter of respect for the origins of Archimede's work and his legacy to modern civilization, a matter of respect for his homeland and his culture, and in accordance to the basic tenets that dictate respect for the cultural artifacts of all people of all cultures, origins, languages and faiths.

Default inheritance is a particularly insightful way of looking at inflectional syncretism, where a single form may have multiple functions, because this can be located at different points on a hierarchy: in a single class, or a majority of classes, for example.
I believe that it is important for linguists to look at languages in detail, and also that the insights that an in-depth study can bring should be combined with broader typological work.
I also applied this knowledge to design a lexical database which is being used in the Endangered Languages Documentation Programme project on Archi, a language of Dagestan.

As this week marks European Day of Languages some of us may harbour thoughts about brushing up our French or perhaps even taking on German, but for a group of Surrey academics every day is a languages day.
Some languages are familiar and accessible whereas some more exotic languages, whose structures can tell us a great deal about our world and ourselves are harder to come by.
The project has met with a lot of enthusiasm from the Archi people, who are very proud of their language, which is exotic even by the local standards as the population of Daghestan is just over two million and there are about forty languages spoken there.

This means using machine-processable languages to capture architecture specifications; tools to analyze architectures and estimate system properties; and tools to automate the production and testing of software from an architecture specification.
We have applied these principles to develop architecture specification languages for real-time systems, with special attention paid to those that include guidance, navigation and control functions; and to specify example architectures that can be easily adapted to meet the requirements of families of related products.
