Universiteit Leiden From 1990 onwards subsidies for various projects on Berber languages and literatures were granted by the National Foundation for Scientific Research (NWO), the Faculty of Letters (Leiden University) and the Oosters Instituut, sponsoring the researchers Nico van den Boogert and Maarten Kossmann. The study of Berber languages was introduced at Leiden University in 1986 by dr. H.J. Stroomer (Department Languages and Cultures of the Islamic Middle East). Berber languages form an independent branch of the Afroasiatic superfamily. www.let.leidenuniv.nl /talengids/talen/berber.htm   (533 words)

Linguistics Language Program - LING 19 The Navajo language is part of the Apachean subgroup of the Athabaskan branch of the Na-Dené language family, a large, spread-out family with member languages ranging all across the western United States and Canada. Thus, Navajo is most closely related to the other Apachean languages spoken in the Southwestern United States, including Jicarilla, Mescalero-Chiricahua and Western Apache. However, the Navajo language, spoken by about 150,000 people, is the most widely used Native American language in the United States. www.ling.ucsd.edu /ling19/ling19langdis/navajo.htm   (533 words)

The Castilian reflexes of ABHORRERE/ABHORRESCERE: a case-study in valency The second is the predilection of the Ibero-Romance languages for verb-forms which have been 'strengthened' by the inchoative suffix -ESCERE[14], in the light of which the appearance of a form deriving from ABHORRESCERE[15] is not especially remarkable. The only causative/non-causative relation that is to any extent marked by morphology in the Romance languages is that between a causative and a corresponding intransitive or mediopassive non-causative, eg Castilian cerrar 'to shut', ie 'to cause to shut (intransitive)', cerrarse 'to shut (intransitive)' or 'to get shut (mediopassive)'. Sometimes a fossilised past participle remains as an adjective in the language, thus fallido 'vain, unsuccessful', florido 'flowery', and (as a noun) guarida 'den, lair'. alpha.qmw.ac.uk /~mlw058/aburrido.htm   (5072 words)

Beach town in frenzy over Lex's possibilities on 'Survivor' For many in Santa Cruz, van den Berghe is the epitome of what is unique about their hometown: he's smart (speaks several languages, winning lots of challenges) yet laid back, cool enough to have pierced ears and lots of tattoos but sweet enough to bring his son's baby shoes with him to Africa. Santa Cruz Sentinel journalist Peggy Townsend, who was assigned to cover this series of Survivor shows after van den Berghe was picked to be a contestant, pulls a thick file of letters and e-mails she receives about "Lex sightings" onto her desk. The $1 million jackpot will be awarded after the season finale this Thursday. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2002/01/07/state1908EST0133.DTL&type=printable   (4055 words)

Encyclopedia: Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser For translations of the text into several of the languages that were spoken in the Austrian Empire, see Translations of Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser. The tonic note in the high octave near the end, felt by Charles Rosen and others to be the climax of Haydn's melody, appears in none of the folk originals. Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser ("God Save Emperor Franz") is an anthem to the Emperor Francis II of the Holy Roman Empire and (later) of Austria, written by Lorenz Leopold Haschka (1749-1827) and set to a tune written by Joseph Haydn in 1797. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Gott-erhalte-Franz-den-Kaiser   (4055 words)

History of the Christian Church, Schaff, 1910 edition with power search. A German translation from the original languages was a work of colossal magnitude if we consider the absence of good grammars, dictionaries, and concordances, the crude state of Greek and Hebrew scholarship, and of the German language, in the sixteenth century.

Leiden University From 1990 onwards subsidies for various projects on Berber languages and literatures were granted by the National Foundation for Scientific Research (NWO), the Faculty of Letters (Leiden University) and the Oosters Instituut, sponsoring the researchers Nico van den Boogert and Maarten Kossmann. Since there is a strong mutual influence of Berber languages and spoken forms of Arabic, it is recommendable to study Berber languages in combination with local Arabic vernaculars. It is clear that Berber languages were dominant in these parts of the world before the expansion of Arabic. www.let.leidenuniv.nl /talengids/english/berber.htm   (69 words)

Article (grammar) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the etymologies of many languages, definite articles formerly were demonstrative pronouns or adjectives; compare the fate of the Latin demonstrative ille in the Romance languages, becoming French le, Spanish el, and Italian il, while indefinite articles originate or are same as the numeral for one. Some other languages, including Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Thai do not have them at all (in those languages, if necessary, you can use "one" and "that" in contexts where other languages would use an indefinite and definite article). Articles in several languages also change according to the number of the noun. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Grammatical_article   (69 words)

Navajo language - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch As in many northwestern American languages, Navajo is extremely poor in labial consonants. It is like the other Apachean languages in that although the majority of the languages in the Na-Dené family are spoken much farther north (Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Canadian Provinces) Navajo is spoken much farther south (in the southwest United States) by the Navajo people (Diné). Navajo (Diné bizaad) (occasionally spelled Navaho) is a Southern Athabaskan or Apachean language of the Athabaskan language family, belonging to the Na-Dené phylum. encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /navajo_language.htm   (890 words)

Royal Danish Embassy - Washington, D.C. Holberg also took pleasure in the company of English stu-dents; he tutored them in languages and mu-sic; he was frequently invited to join them in Hall at Magdalen College, and he spent merry evenings in the inns and at a music club in which he played. Holberg was allowed to read the deputy bishop�s journal describing his travels in Ger-many, Italy, France and Holland, and he was seized with an irrepressible urge to go abroad himself. Holberg brought out his plays in print: Den danske Skue-Plads (The Danish Stage), in five volumes, 1723-31; when, in the reign of the theatre-loving Frederik V, the theatre was resurrected, Holberg wrote another six plays, published as Volumes 6 and 7 in 1753-54. www.denmarkemb.org /ludvig_holberg.html   (890 words)

Article (grammar) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the history of many languages, definite articles formerly were demonstrative pronouns or adjectives; compare the evolution of the Latin demonstrative ille in the Romance languages, becoming French le, Spanish el, and Italian il, while indefinite articles originate or are same as the numeral for one. Several languages on the Balkans also use suffixes for articles. Some other languages, including Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Tamil and Thai do not have them at all and definiteness may be indicated by words meaning "one" and "that" or by word order. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Article_(grammar)   (1363 words)
