    Processing Methodology and Dialectological Aspects of the Dictionary of Moravian and Silesian Anoikonyms (Minor Place Names)
    (2010-01-01) Čižmárová, Libuše
    This paper presents the routines used by Brno linguists working on the Dictionary of Moravian and Silesian Anoikonyms (preparing col-lective entries introduced by abstract headwords). The output will be primarily a multifunctional interactive digital dictionary. Since most of the material has been recorded in dialect form, the authors must be experienced in dialectology. The computer program offers the pos-sibility to generate maps enabling comparison with dialectological maps of the Czech Linguistic Atlas.

    Theoretical and Interpretative Approaches to the Dictionary of Moravian and Silesian Anoikonyms
    (2010-01-01) Šipková, Milena
    The Dictionary of Moravian and Silesian Anoikonyms, compiled in both a traditional “paper” and a digital form as a parallel to the Dictionary of Minor Place Names in Bohemia, has two priorities: 1. unique material (covering 96 % of the territory), 2. theoretical and methodological conception that represents the Czech onomastic school. The Dictionary aims to provide both a material analysis and an interpretation of names comprising many dialectal forms.

    On the decay, preservation and restoration of imported Portuguese Christian missionary vocabulary in the Kyushu district of Japan since the 16th century
    (2010-01-01) Ogawa, Shunsuke
    The aim of this paper is to elucidate the history of the decay, preservation and restoration of imported Portuguese Christian missionary vocabulary in the Kyushu district of Japan since the 16th century. In conclusion, the following can be pointed out: 1) almost all words have generally decayed. 2) parts of the words are used as general nouns with discriminatory meaning. 3) Some people still try to preserve these words against the guidance of Catholic priests. 4) Recently, parts of the words have started to be used as the names of some alcoholic drinks and sweets. Thus, in this district, the number of people who use these words has been increasing again. This is the restoration of imported Portuguese Christian missionary vocabulary.

    Making paradigms of verbs and adjectives using a dialect corpus
    (2010-01-01) Fukushima, Chitsuko
    The author has been involved in the making of a dialect dictionary of Tokunoshima, Amami, Japan, using a dialect corpus. The analysis of the dialect corpus and face-to-face interviews were combined to obtain the paradigms of verbs and adjectives to be included in the multimedia dialect dictionary. Sentences in the corpus were cut into phrases and verbs were identified and sorted into lists of verbs. The lists were examined to find patterns of verb conjugation. All conjugated forms were examined regarding succeeding forms, and, based on the distribution, a conjugated form was chosen as an entry. In Japanese, verbs and adjectives belong to the same syntactic category and adjectives change their forms as verbs do. Thus the same procedure was repeated concerning adjectives, and patterns and paradigms of adjective inflection were found.

    S-shaped Curve of Phonological Standardization – Six Surveys in the Tsuruoka and Yamazoe Areas
    (2010-01-01) Inoue, Fumio
    This paper is concerned with the speed of linguistic change. If social variation is a reflection of linguistic change, the scene of the linguistic change can be caught in action as a palpable phenomenon. However there is one theoretical question, the distinction of “real time” and “apparent time”. In order to observe linguistic change repeated surveying is necessary. The tradition of Japanese dialectology provides us with several examples of repetitive surveys. The conclusion of the analysis is as follows. The curve of apparent-time change corresponds to that of real-time change. The total number of years necessary for a linguistic change to be completed is nearly 200 years.

    Sociolinguistic and Geolinguistic Variation in the Basque language
    (2010-01-01) Aurrekoetxea, Gotzon
    In this contribution, we show the first results of the “Socio-geolinguistic atlas of the Basque language-EAS”. This research project was presented at the Vth Congress of Dialectology and Geolinguistics held in Braga. On the one hand, we present some data collected in the same locality from informants of different generations (the elderly, adults and young people). We examine the linguistic differences that we found among people of these generations and we analyse whether the difference among generations is similar in all localities or not, or whether some of them have peculiar characteristics. On the other hand, we show different types of geolinguistic variation: variation among elderly people, adults or among young people.

    Dvojinske in pluralizirane oblike v slovenskih narečjih
    (2010-01-01) Jakop, Tjaša
    The dual is a mandatory element of Contemporary Standard Slovene and also appears in the majority of Slovene dialects to varying degrees. As we shall see, some dialects are witnessing a gradual disappearance of the dual and its replacement by plural forms. In colloquial Slovene, which is by and large the spoken language of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, the dual is still used for masculine nouns, while dual forms for feminine nouns have been replaced by the plural. The geographical extent of dual use is presented also statistically (statistics on dual use of noun and verb).

    Der Atlas der ungarischen Dialekte in Rumänien steht vor der Vollendung
    (2010-01-01) Juhász, Dezső; Terbe, Erika
    The 11th and last volume of The Atlas of Hungarian Dialects in Romania (RMNyA) is ready for publication. The work, the material of which was gathered in the 1950s and 1960s, is suppletory in Hungarian dialectology. The RMNyA enables a more detailed description of the Hungarian dialects in Romania and a comprehensive typology of dialects. It opens new possibilities for synchronic and diachronic examinations. Concurrently with its publication, the RMNyA was included in the project for the digitalisation of the MNyA, as a result of which the two big atlases are integrated into a single electronic database. This enables new corpus linguistical and dialectological analyses as well as the preparation of integrated maps by using the techniques of computer cartography.

    Propriale und nichtpropriale Sprachareale: Einheit in der Vielfältigkeit
    (2010-01-01) Kloferová, Stanislava
    Proprial and non-proprial areals are manifestations of how one language functions. Despite differences between them (unique vs. general), this fact can be mutually made use of. The contribution demonstrates how the relation between the nucleus and the periphery of a non-proprial areal can help in linguistic analysis of uncertain, isolated proper names (anoikonyms) and how it can contribute towards finding their origin.

    Besedje stare kmečke delovne šege na Koroškem – steljeraje
    (2010-01-01) Benko, Anja
    The article presents the lexis of an old Carinthian working custom steljeraja in the form of a dialect dictionary. The lexis is based on a film on DVD made by the locals on the Golak’s farm in Dolgo Brdo near the town of Prevalje na Koroškem in 2007. The aim of the article is to juxtapose and compare the two Carinthian dialects based on the old farming procedure steljeraja, namely, (1) the Carinthian Mežica dialect (koroško-mežiško) and (2) the Carinthian Podjuna dialect (koroško-podjunsko).

The study is based on a thematically defined vocabulary gathered through fieldwork and with the help of questionnaires, pictures and informants’ narratives. It includes archaic vocabulary that is gradually disappearing and is known only to the oldest generation of speakers, as well as the contemporary vocabulary that has been introduced along with the modern technology and is used by the younger generation of speakers.

    Oblikoslovje v panonski narečni skupini
    (2010-01-01) Zorko, Zinka
    The article compares word-formation and morphological patterns of the Pannonian dialect group with those found in Old Church Slavonic and in Standard Slovene. It includes a brief analysis of the dialectal phonological and stress system, discussing the dialectal endings and inflections (the three genders, especially the relatively unstable neuter; and the three numbers, as the dual is well preserved). Non-finite word classes used in the Pannonian dialects investigated, however, show relatively little variation.
